"what do you want" he asked grumpily

"ump sir, dinner is ready"the maid said from outside Adriel's room

"And so?? he asked again

"you should come outside for dinner sir" she replied humbly and calmly

"what" Adriel half yelled opening the door to face the maid properly,

"did you just command me??? adriel asked with raised brows

"N.....no s.....sir i dare not" the maid replied stuttering and shivering in fright ,

"But I feel you just commanded me'" adriel replied with his head tilted to the left

" No sir I didn't " the maid tried justifying herself but Adriel was so bent on frustrating her.
