Jade’s pov:
Knocking on Paulina’s door, I held my breath. My muscles were taught with anticipation. Just as I began to wonder if this was a good move, she opened her door before I could backtrack.
Her eyes, rather dull, brightened up at the sight of me.
“Hello, mistress,” she let out softly, a smile stretching her lips.
“Jade is fine, you know?” I retorted with a smile of my own.
“I could never,” she shook her head negatively, and I had to repress a sigh.
Now wasn’t the time for that conversation.
“Can I come in?” I asked a little bit awkwardly after a beat.
“Sure,” she blushed to the roots of her hair. “Where are my manners?” She face-palmed.
Anna soon approached us and offered me a big smile, “Hello, mistress.”
“Please, not you too,” I giggled nervously.
Before long
