Chapter 18: Shock and Amazement
As Marco reached his neighbourhood, he scanned and quickly found his house. He flew towards his apartment, taking the spare key he had from the back of his shoe rack he unlocked the door. He went in quickly trying to avoid being seen. Being seen with an unconscious woman on your shoulder looks bad right?
Fearing the possible implications he fled into his apartment, he threw Gaia on his sofa while he looked at the pile of mail on his floor. Wordlessly picking up the somewhat impressive stack he took it all to his counter and looked through everything. In the pile, he found a few letters from his boss asking and checking up on him, a letter of condolence was included as his boss assumed that he died in an unknown incident.
Picking up his spare phone from his counter drawer he wanted to contact his boss but the battery was dead. Deciding to look through the rest of the pile he charged his phone and went back to work. A boring half hour passed as Marco found some bills and letters about his investments. He just thanked his past self for having set up a system to automatically pay his bills.
Marco remembering that he was fighting a while ago went to take a shower. While Marco started his shower, a shadow emerged and stood in the middle of his living room. Sonia just arrived, she looked around her master's husband's home. In her opinion, she found the place quite simple it looked like what people with a conservative sense of minimalism would want. As she scanned the apartment she found an unconscious woman on the sofa.
She was simply stunned, from the looks of things she was either beaten into submission or she had just experienced a very rough night. The haggard appearance of the woman was quite suggestive, curiosity got the better of her and she woke up the woman.
She shook the woman for a good few minutes but nothing happened, getting irritated she went to the kitchen to fill a pot of water. As Sonia positioned herself to douse the woman Marco walked out of his room. He was simply stunned. The sight of a maid holding preparing to pour a pot of water on an unconscious woman was surreal.
Sonia stopped when she heard sounds behind her, as she turned her head a light blush bloomed. She saw the chiselled body of her master's husband, and without thinking she threw the pot of water and curtsied. "Greeting master, I have come to check up on you with Madam Diya's orders." The action she made was perfect, the appearance of an ideal maid was present with one little thing.
The pot of water she threw directly landed on Gaia's head. She was drenched while having to wake up to a metal pot slamming flat on her face. She just rolled around in pain as she unceremoniously dropped to the floor slamming her head on the ground. Marco just watched this with an expressionless face, he wondered what was happening at this moment.
