The days when I was a maid in another world

On January 22, there was only one day left before the agreed date.

Sterling pulled me along and said, "Come on, I'll take you to a place."

I was still guessing where he was going to take me, but he dragged me to the basement.This basement is not where the maids' dormitory and the kitchen are located, but the opposite side of the maid's dormitory.Every time I passed that corridor before, I would guess what was behind the wall, and now, I finally know.

The door on the other side is hidden under the stairs, and I never found out that there is another door here.

Sterling took out his key and opened the door and let me in, then he turned on the lights and turned to lock the door.Only then did I discover that the space under the stairs was just a transit point, and there was a door inside.

After the other door was opened, Sterling made a gesture of invitation and said, "Go in."

"You advanced."

To be honest, I was very afraid that he would shut me in and then turn around and leave. In this kind of place, no one would notice if he shouted.

He couldn't help but shook his head and smiled, and then walked in first.I followed behind, and when the lights inside were turned on, I was instantly stunned by the sight in front of me!

Who would have thought that half of the basement floor of the bedroom was used as a storage room?

Looking at the countless boxes, my voice was trembling: "What's in the box?"

The square box slot and the arched box cover, this kind of box is very similar to the treasure box often seen in the game. Is there wood?Could it be that there are really treasures inside?

He smiled and replied, "You can open it and have a look."

Before he finished speaking, my body spontaneously walked to the nearest box, and then raised my hand to open the box lid.

The golden light dazzled my eyes!My God, it's full of gold coins!

I turned back to look at him blankly, and my throat was a little tight when I spoke again: "There are so many boxes, maybe they are all filled with gold coins..."

"Mostly," he walked to the other side and opened the top cover of a box, "those with a flat top like this are filled with wine."

I looked at the bottles of red wine in the box and thought, these wines are also very expensive!

"Sterling, you are worthy of being a lord, and your net worth is rich enough." I have to admit that selling our entire Tang Corporation is no match for his net worth alone.

"That's why the king and other lords don't like me." Sterling shrugged and said helplessly, but his eyes sparkled, "I basically monopolize the trade with the East, so these Money really doesn’t count for anything.”

When I was young, my grandfather taught me two things: First, money can never be earned, so people can’t just live for money.Two, you can't earn money by yourself, otherwise you will make more and more enemies.

It's no wonder that Sterling will be plotted by other lords. He has earned all the money. Can others not be jealous?If he continues like this, he's afraid something will happen.

"What are you thinking about?"

Sterling tapped me on the shoulder, interrupting my thoughts.

I thought about it, but still didn't express what I just thought.He is so smart, I think he will not be ignorant of this truth, facing so many hostile people, I don't see how anxious he is, maybe he has already arranged it, I'd better not show off my poor IQ .

"Well," I noticed another thing, "why are there gold coins and no silver coins?"

You know, in this world, the current standard currency is still silver coins, and the standard currency generally has unlimited legal repayment capacity and can be minted freely, so according to common sense, he should hoard a large amount of silver coins and silver products.

"Silver coins are not easy to store, especially in the basement." He explained casually.

He is also right that silver is too prone to vulcanization or oxidation reactions, and is soft and easy to wear and tear.

If the history of this world has the same development as my world, then Sterling's descendants may be rich because of this gold.At that time, silver will withdraw from the stage of circulation, and only gold will still affect the value of the currencies of various countries, and the price will always be high.

Seeing that I was silent again, he lightly held my shoulder, leaned close to my ear and said, "How is it?"

"What?" I looked back at him puzzled.

"Are these gold coins attractive to you?" As he said, he hugged me into his arms, adding a hint of temptation in his tone, "Keep it, half of your wealth is here."

I:"……"

It is indeed very attractive!

"If half of the wealth you will get back is not enough, then it's all at your disposal." He added another bargaining chip.

I took a deep breath, looked at him seriously and said, "Are you willing?"

"Willing." He replied without hesitation.

"I'm so important, let you trade your entire net worth?" My heart beats inexplicably faster.

"Well, I think it's worth it."

"Sterling," I sighed softly, and stretched out my arms to hug him, "You really please me..."

It is said that women love money, but it is the nature of all human beings to love money.When a person says that he is willing to use all of his huge wealth in exchange for you to be by his side, there must be very few people who will not be moved, especially those who have feelings as the basis.

"So, would you like to stay?" he asked softly, kissing my cheek.

"...I'm sorry." I still refused cruelly.

The original world has everything for me, and if I stay here, I am afraid that I can only become an ordinary person who is attached to him and is ridiculed as a "male favorite".

"Is it really not possible..." He sighed deeply, his tone seemed to be full of helplessness, "Tomorrow, you are leaving."

"Yeah." I nodded, and suddenly my eye sockets became moist, "After I leave, you can just pretend that this is all a dream, and then forget about me."

"No," he gently pushed me away, looked at me and said seriously, "I will always remember you."

After a moment of silence, I hugged his neck and kissed his lips.

Until this moment, all my resentment towards him evaporated.Before leaving, the only thing I can give him is this moment of tenderness...

***

January 23, after lunch.

Sterling gave me my clothes back and when I was dressed he took me to the attic.

When I was standing in front of the biggest mirror, I couldn't help turning to him and asking, "Don't tell me this mirror is holy."

Damn, this mirror is not only too big, it's also a mercury mirror!Can anyone tell me how this kind of thing is passed down from my ancestors?

He smiled, and then explained: "You're right, this can't be a holy object, but according to the old rules, the lords would bring their wives to this mirror to make a wish."

His words made me instantly embarrassed.Accidentally, I exercised the rights of the lord's wife.

"The sacred object is in this room, so it doesn't matter where you stand."

I didn't continue to ask what the holy object was, after all, it was the top secret of his family, and as long as I could borrow it once, I would be satisfied.

"Say your wish." He sighed almost inaudibly.

I looked at the man standing behind me in the mirror. He was tall and handsome, with a straight military uniform, and his eyes were looking at me with tenderness and nostalgia.

When I thought that I would never be able to see him again after this walk, I felt a little sad and regretful in my heart.

After hesitating for a moment, I turned around and hugged him, kissed him hard, and said frankly: "Sterling, you are the only man I have ever liked in my life."

Even if I slept with a man, I couldn't tolerate another man touching me, and Sterling must have been the only one who did.

"Me too." He hugged me tightly, his voice hoarse instantly.

After embracing for a while, I gently pushed him away, and then resolutely turned back to face the huge mirror again.

"I'm going to start."

If I procrastinate any longer, I'm likely to stay because of soft-heartedness.

"it is good."

I took a deep breath, then looked into the mirror avoiding his eyes, and said clearly and slowly: "Please let me go back to where I came from."

Inside the house, there was a moment of silence.I became nervous inexplicably, and I was a little scared and looking forward to the upcoming miracle, and at the same time, I was a little sad about leaving Sterling.

However, after a while, I was still standing there, and everything around me remained the same.

does not work?

I couldn't help but look back at Sterling and ask him what happened with my eyes.

He seemed to be staring at me until I turned back to focus on my eyes again.After staring at me silently for a while, he suddenly said, "Don, I think I should say something to you again."

"What?" I don't want him to say I can't go back.

"I love you."

I froze for a moment.Looking at his deep eyes and serious expression, I knew he meant what he said.

But even if he really loves me, I have to go...

I pursed my lips and looked at him motionless, wondering how to beg him to let me go.

"So," he said slowly, "I will grant your wish."

Before I had time to be surprised, I felt that the foreground was suddenly blurred, and then the world was spinning for a while.After I regained consciousness, I found that I was lying on the floor, and looking around, I was no longer in the attic of Sterling's house, but in the attic of my own home.

After getting up in a daze, I reconfirmed that I was standing in the attic of my home, and there was still the box I opened on the mahogany table beside it. Inside the box was the meteorite I was looking for.

Stirling...

Just thinking of the name makes my head ache a little.

Could he and everything with him be just a dream?

At this time, I heard the sound of music from downstairs, which was the song I played "before I left", and the sound of the music was mixed with the laughter of several people.

I've been in Sterling's world for a year and a half...so, is it all just a dream?Was it a weird dream I had after I fainted for no reason?

"Where did that kid Tang Ze go?" The voice of his friend Lao Jiang came from the corridor outside the door.

"They said they went upstairs to pick up things, but who knows why they haven't come down yet." It was Lao Dai who answered the question.

"Could it be... go back to the room and fool around with some girl?" Old Jiang's voice suddenly became lewd.

"Impossible? Isn't he chasing Zhuo Xiaoya? Zhuo Xiaoya is still sitting downstairs, how dare he run upstairs and fool around with others?"

"This is exciting, hehe..."

I:"……"

These two bastards, can't you tell me to order?See how I teach them a lesson!

I immediately headed for the door.
