Diamond quickly reached for one of the rooms nearby.
She leaned against the door, her breathing ragged.
The voices suddenly stopped at the front of the room she was in before it continued down the hall until it could not be heard.
She breathed a sigh of relief when she couldn't hear the voices anymore.
She finally looked around, she was in a frantic state that she didn't notice the extravagant room she was in.
Her eyes widened as she took sight of the room. It wasn't like anything she had seen before.
It was an extremely Large room with an extravagant interior design that seemed to tell alot about the owners high taste.
The room's color scheme was predominantly gold and white, accented with black.
Diamond's eyes widened as she took in the enormous bed that could contain five people and then the large reading table stacked with books which told her that the owner of the room must love reading.
She looked up at the large P.O.P which had a beautiful chandelier hanging from it's center. It's design was not one to see anywhere, she looked down at the nicely polished tiles.
Everything complemented each other, Diamond wondered who the owner of the room could be.
She may not have known the owner of the room but she knew the person had a high taste for beautiful and rich things.
She quickly waved off her train of thoughts as reality now dawned on her.
She listened for any sounds around to ensure that it was safe to go out and when she couldn't hear any sound, she quickly snuck out of the room.
Not like she was guilty of anything but anyone who would see her coming out of the room will quickly assume and accuse her of theft considering that she was just a server and she wasn't meant to be there and the last thing she wanted to cause was a scene.
Diamond tried recalling where she had came from and swiftly navigated herself down the path when she suddenly she stopped upon hearing a voice and hid behind a huge flower
Vase.
She recognized the voice as it was the woman who had shown her the kitchen and who she now knew as the owner of the house.
She seemed to be talking to someone over the phone.
Diamond pressed her back against the wall as the woman paced back and forth.
"Hello son", she said and then paused. "What do you mean you won't be able to attend the party?, every one is present and asking of you, and you won't want to disappoint your junior brother".
The woman went silent and began to speak again.
"I understand but you have to make out time, she paused and then spoke again, alright then, we will be waiting, good bye son".
Diamond felt bad for eavesdropping on the woman's conversation but it was not like she could block her ears.
She waited for the woman to leave before finding her way out.
She could now relax as she found herself amongst the crowd and then went down the stairs to the extremely Large parlor filled with people and quickly made her way to the kitchen.
"Where have you been?".
Diamond quickly swiveled to the sound of the voice.
"I uh"....
She was suddenly caught off by the the lady.
"There's no time to waste, we have work to be done, the food needs to be served now".
Diamond followed the lady to where the food was being dished and kept for them to serve.
She could see other girls already getting there trays filled up and heading out.
Diamond quickly got her tray filled up and headed out of the kitchen and up the staircase.
She would stop now and then and some times even wait for the guest to make there choice of food before she would continue her journey.
She finally collapsed on one of the fancy kitchen chairs after she had gone up the stairs three times and twice again to carry the empty dishes.
She breathed a sigh of frustration when she found out that she would still have to go up the stairs to serve the cake.
She watched the kitchen staffs as they brought in the cake and cut it into reasonable amounts.
Diamond decided that she would only go up the stairs twice as she was going to fill her tray in other to achieve that.
She quickly filled her tray and ventured out to go serve and by the second time she had served every one.
She smiled to herself as she approached the kitchen door.
She was surprised to meet the kitchen empty.
She stealthily moved towards the confectionaries table.
She had been dying to have a taste of those pastries so she reached for one and stuffed it into her out.
Her eyes widened at the taste
"Wow", she gasp.
Since they had served every one and it was still very much, she snuck some into her bag. She quickly took sight of some packed foods, grabbing two packs she stuffed it into her bag also.
She didn't consider herself a thief, and justified her actions as a deserved reward.
She adjusted herself before going to seat on one of the fancy kitchen chairs when she heard beeping sounds coming from her phone.
She adjusted herself on one side before carefully reaching for her phone in her back pocket.
Her hands swiftly flunged to her mouth as she took sight of the alert.
The woman who was the owner of the house and she now knew as Mrs Martinez had sent her four hundred dollars.
That was a lot, she thought.
The woman was really generous or maybe she knew about how hard she had worked.
Anyways, Diamond thought she deserved it as she had worked tirelessly.
She glanced over her phone as the other girls walked in.
She observed carefully as they were now sneaking pastries into there bags.
She smiled to herself as she realized that she wasn't the only one at this game.
Soon the party was over and Diamond went in search of Mrs Martinez.
After much thinking, she thought it would be right to thank her for her generosity.
She finally found Mrs Martinez bidding a guest good bye.
She waited patiently until she was done and briefly walked towards her.
"May I have a word with you ma'am".
"Yh sure" Mrs Martinez said and they briefly walked to corner.
"I would like to thank you ma'am for increasing the payment".
"Oh it was nothing, this party wouldn't be a success if it weren't for your hard work and I must commend the fact that you work hard".
"Thank you ma'am", I really appreciate.
"And thank you, by the way, did you have something to eat?".
"Uh yes ma'am, Diamond said, adjusting her bag filled with food. I'll take my leave now".
"Ok then", Mrs Martinez said and gave her a brief pat on the hand before leaving.
She's such a nice woman, Diamond thought to herself as she made her way out of the mansion.
