Chapter 146 - Admiration Of Others!

Chapter 146 - Admiration Of Others!

"So you don't plan to return?" Shirley asked with a threatening and suspicious tone.

As if she was checking what was resting in Jennifer's mind via her answer.

At the same time, many ladies were looking forward to hearing the same question. Since Shirley spoke on the behalf of others as well, they had their ears on Jennifer's reply.

Sensing that everyone is quite curious to know, she spoke with an unsure voice, "I would love to go back too, to meet my family but what can I say about here's beauty. It is bad that there is no unity between the two regions. Otherwise, many people would have come here to visit."

"This doesn't mean you will stay or not. Don't tell me that you are planning to reside in our state after living here for some time? Hmm?" Shirley was trying to create problems in Jennifer's way but she never gained the support of another lady.

"Oh, Shirley! C'mon! Our state is so beautiful and the people here are so good, obviously, Ms. Taylor would like to stay here. How can our land not be beautiful to make everyone fall in love with it?" Ms. Chloe spoke with a tender smile, with glittering emotions in her eyes whenever she stated about her land.

It was easily guessable that the lady was patriotic. Otherwise, she won't have defended Jennifer in front of Shirley, before Jeennfier could have answered too.

Jennifer nodded when the lady stood in the support and continued to say, "So correct Ms. Chloe. The land is itself mesmerizing that I would not mind spending my entire life here… Although I miss my family members so much... so I will need to go...otherwise I would have applied here for the citizenship of the state."

With so much favoritism and compliments for their state, the lady's perspective changed regarding her. Earlier they covered her to be a simple hostage of their enemy's land.

Now things were slightly changing, taking a positive turn when Jennifer spoke about their homeland, and Jennifer herself was relieved that they don't consider her as one evil.'Otherwise, the way oldies eyed me, I'm pretty much sure that they work have all ganged up against me and then threw me out of the house itself. Gosh, I have been saved on this path for now..' with this thought she prayed inside her mind to God.

Looking at their faces, Jennifer can't even predict what will they do to her, at this point

But despite that, Shirley wasn't convinced by how affectionately Jennifer talked with others. It constantly made her mood turn gloomier with time.

'Since I have called you here for your insult, why not let the game begin now…' with this thought, She asked maids to bring the stuff of eating from the kitchen.

As ordered, her demand was immediately answered by others. Things were served for snacks on the table while the ladies continued to whisper.

Afterward, when Shirley didn't stand on her toes instead, asked Jennifer.

"Oh! Jennifer... Can you serve the drinks, please? The maids are currently bringing the food and the butler also appears to be busy at the moment."

The request seemed genuine to her, so she stood on her toes and served the glasses to each lady with an adorable and sweet loving smile.

All the ladies thanked her for her kindness, ignoring the fact that Shirley was trying to portray her as the maid but failed miserably.

In the end, when, it was her turn to give her drink to Shirley, she found the cup falling from her hands and let the entire tea fall on Mrs. Johnson's dress with her carelessness.

"Oh, My God.. I'm so sorry for this… Ms. Shirely.. I..I.." Jennifer was in a state of panic when the dress Shirley was ruined by her.

Or to be more specific, she acted to be in a state of shock.

Shirley immediately rose from her seat and took the tissue to wipe the burnt surface. "You are so careless Jennifer!"

While Jennifer covered her face, in order to show that she was ready to hear all the bashings, all the ladies felt sympathy towards the girl.

Her face was red due to the embarrassing moment, with tears on the verge of falling.

Just a simple sentence from Shirley made her feel her heart throbbing and acted as she is going to be scolded in the most ruthless way.

Similarly, a lady got up from her seat and patted Jennifer's shoulder to pass her assurance.

"Dear, you don't have to be so scared. No one will eat you up here. Stay calm… I believe Shirley isn't angry too. In the end, she was the one who asked you to serve despite knowing that you aren't any professional."

At this comment, Shirley'eyes turned bloodshot. Giving Jennifer a stare, she can' believe that just her small harsh, and loud comment was enough to take the girl into a state of panic and deep emotions. 'Huh! Isn't the lady acting in front of tigers?'

But the words will be the same would be to her disadvantage since the girl got favors from not only one but others too.

"B..B..But.. I did… a mistake.." Jennifer stumbled in her voice due to the fear that consumed her.

Her entire face is paling as marble and the ladies can't help but pass their synaptic in her direction.

"Girl, it's alright. Sometimes things happen with aren't in our control either and the same happened with you." The lady gave her a sweet smile to make her worry go away.

Although Jennifer still stayed alert, the lady turned around to face Shirley's burning anger-filled face, "No need to worry. Moreover, you are a guest here so why serve? Shirley, I hope that you won't mind the same too, right?"
