Hearing Viona's words suddenly made Fernando immediately stop eating. He seemed to be thinking hard to find a logical reason, because, for Viona, it would definitely not be difficult to distinguish the smell of human blood and animal blood.

"Didn't you smell it, Babe?" Viona asked softly as she continued to cover her mouth and nose with her hands,

​​

"I don't smell anything, Honey," Fernando replied quickly as he kept thinking to find a sensible reason.

"Hey, what is this?" Teddy shrieked suddenly as he touched one of the maids' black skirt with his palm.

"Blood ..." Viona hissed softly as she looked at Teddy's red hand.

"That's ... I ..." the maid, whose skirt was being touched by Teddy earlier, couldn't finish her words as she had been silenced by another maid.

"I'm sorry, Madame. It looks like this maid is having her period and maybe she forgot to change her sanitary napkin. On behalf of all the maids here, I would like to apologize to you, Madame," said Teddy, bowing down.

Hearing Teddy's words made Viona immediately let go of her hands that were covering her mouth. She felt guilty for what she had said earlier. Viona felt bad for the maid whose skirt was stained with blood. She slowly walked over to the maid who was standing beside Teddy.

"What's your name?" Viona asked softly to the maid whose skirt was stained with blood.

"My name is Lourdes, Madame," The maid replied, looking down.

"Next time, when you're on your period and it's heavy, it's better if you don't work and just rest in the room. I'm sorry too because I had said that earlier, I didn't mean to insult you," said Viona regretfully.

"No, Madame, you are not at fault, I am being careless," Lourdes replied, staring at Viona's face with fear.

Viona touched her chin, as she looked down on the floor again. She lifted the maid's face and stared with guilt into the eyes of the young girl. Viona realized how embarrassing it was for a girl to have her menstrual blood leaked in public.

"Teddy, please make a new rule for all maids on their periods. Give them a day off for the first two days. I don't want this to happen again," Viona said softly. staring at Teddy, who was standing next to Lourdes.

"Yes, Madame. I will make sure this won't happen again. I will carry out the rule that you just said," Teddy replied, bowed down obediently.

Viona nodded slowly in response to the words of the butler at her house and then returned to focus on Lourdes, who was still looking down.

"Alright then, now go back to your room and immediately change your clothes to clean clothes, and then just rest in the room until you feel better. I know when it's heavy like that, it must feel uncomfortable, right?" Viona whispered to Lourdes.

"Yes, Madame, then if you'll excuse me," Lourdes answered, stammering.

Viona smiled thinly at Lourdes's words. After the maid left with another maid, she walked back to Fernando, who was still standing at the dining table and looked at her lovingly.

"Poor girl," Viona said silently when she arrived beside Fernando.

"My wife is good. So, let's continue our meal," Fernando replied with a smile and put his hand around her body, making her lean against his chest.

"I'm suddenly full, it's better if we just go to our room," Viona whispered softly.

"Room?? Do you want to have se..."

BAM!

"Awww ...." Fernando screamed, pretending to be in pain while clutching his chest which Viona just hit.

"You deserve that. So, stop teasing me," said Viona curtly.

"Hehe, yes, Madam, sorry. Let's go to the room then, since you said you wanted to go to the room," Fernando replied softly as he pinched Viona's chin exasperatedly.

"Okay. But ask the maid to bring some fruits and a burrito to the room," Viona whispered softly to Fernando's ear.

"Do you want a burrito?" Fernando asked softly.

Viona nodded slowly in response to Fernando's words, smiling broadly so that her row of pearly white teeth were clearly visible.

"Okay, let's go up first, I'll tell the chef to make the food you want," Fernando said. with a smile.

"Okay," Viona replied excitedly.

Fernando then released his hug on her waist and led her up to the second floor carefully through the stairs. While walking towards the second floor, Fernando lifted a thumb towards Teddy.

He was satisfied with the quick action taken by the butler who had used tomato sauce as a disguise for menstrual blood, an idea that Fernando never thought of at all.

Teddy just nodded slowly in response to Fernando's gesture. He then asked the chef, who was recruited by Fernando, to make a burrito as the mistress requested.

The two chefs immediately prepared what Teddy ordered, and soon there were four large burritos on the tray with pieces of fruit that had been arranged beautifully on the plate.

After the dish was ready, Teddy then took the tray to the room on the second floor. Viona was very happy when she saw the food that Teddy brought by eating one large burrito immediately.

Seeing her devouring it made Fernando smile. He then took Teddy out of his luxurious room, leaving Viona who was enjoying the burritos on the sofa alone.

After leaving his room, Fernando then thanked Teddy directly for what the butler had previously done in the living room.

"It's my duty, Sir, so you don't have to thank me," Teddy said softly with a smile because he felt uncomfortable.

Fernando thanked him continuously.

"But what you did was incredible, Teddy. I almost died standing up when my wife talked about the blood smell. I don't know what to say because I'm sure she isn't easy to be lied to. She is a doctor who is used to blood," Fernando replied in a low voice.

"Yes sir, I understand, that's why I had such a spontaneous idea ..."

But why are you so sure that my wife would believe that it was the smell of menstrual blood?" Fernando asked curiously.

"Because usually women will support one another when someone had an incident like that, Sir, the proof is that Madame immediately encouraged Lourdes," Teddy replied with a smile.

"You're really smart, Teddy. Oh right, one more thing, I beg of you, please emphasize again to all the maids not to discuss what happened to Amber. Although Amber had made her sad before, I'm sure my wife will be very shocked if she finds out that her sister was shot dead. I will find the right time to talk to her," Fernando said in a half-whisper.

"Yes sir, I will do what you tell me. Please don't worry, Sir. So if you'll excuse me, Sir," Teddy replied obediently as he walked away, leaving Fernando who was standing in the hallway alone.

After Teddy had gone, Fernando then went into his big room again. His smile broke when he saw Viona had finished a large burrito filled with meat and vegetables voraciously. She was even now eating her second burrito while reading a Chanel magazine containing Chanel's latest releases on clothes and bags, without noticing the arrival of Fernando, who was already standing beside her.

"May I eat the burrito?" Fernando asked half in a whisper.

"No, they're all mine," Viona replied curtly, without turning to Fernando who was behind her.

"Why can't I, Mommy?" Fernando asked, using a child's voice while moving in front of Viona.

"Because Daddy is naughty, leaving the room without asking permission from me," Viona replied quickly while moving the plate containing the burrito to the side quickly.

"I had to take care of something with Teddy, Babe. Sorry to have to leave you like that," said Fernando pitifully.

"I see," she replied quickly.

"Huum, if it's not an important and urgent matter about the new rules of the maids, I might not leave you alone in the room, Babe," Fernando squeaked quickly.

"You heard him. Your daddy was out for a while because he had an important business, not to do anything else. So you don't need to be angry anymore," she said softly speaking to her child in her womb while stroking her tummy.

Fernando was immediately petrified to see what his wife had just done.

"So it's my champ who was angry and not you, Babe?" Fernando asked, stifling his laugh.

"Yes, he's angry, not me," Viona replied briefly while eating a slice of kiwi nonchalantly.
