Chapter 5 - Chapter 4: Eating breakfast

After she finished her bath, Serena stood in front of a mirror and she started getting dressed.

"Hmm?"

As she puts on her bra, Serena notices that her bra is struggling to close.

"Not again,Ahh! Guess I need to go shopping for new sizes of bras, it hasn't been that long since the last time I did."

As she murmured that, Serena looks at herself in the mirror and she thinks to herself.

'hmm? I wonder if he recognizes me after so many years or if he likes curve girls'

As she thinks that her checks get red from embarrassment.

'This is so embarrassing, what am I thinking?'

As she is lost in her embarrassment, a knock in the door from the maid, Cecilia brings her back to reality.

"My lady? Are you finished getting dressed!?"

From her surprise, Serena says in a startled tone to Cecilia.

"Whaa!? Y-yes, I'll finish in five minutes."

Hearing her startled tone, Cecilia asks Serena in a worried tone.

"Are you sure you are fine, my lady?"

"Y-yeah,I am fine, I was deep in thoughts and I was startled when you suddenly called me."

Serena explains the reason why she reacted that way to calm the worried Cecilia, but she didn't tell her the whole truth.

"Anyway, do you need me anything?"

And to make sure that the matter ends here she changes the subject.

"Ah, right! Madam demands your presence in the dining room as soon as you finish."

After she says that, Cecilia waits for Serena's answer.

"Ok, tell my mother that I'll be there in five minutes."

"I understand, I will inform Madam for your response immediately."

After she hears Serena's response Cecilia leaves immediately to inform Serena's mother.

After Cecilia leaves, Serena continues to dress up and five minutes later she's ready.

To confirm that everything is ready, Serena checks up on her appearance.

Her appearance is that of a young adult woman with a medium height, curvy body, long straight black hair and beautiful silver eyes which she inherited from her mother.

And because of today's occasion, Serena is wearing a soft light blue casual dress with a subtle small floral pattern, an outfit which enhances her beauty even more.

After she confirmed that everything is fine, Serena looks at the mirror and she says to herself as takes a deep breath.

"Ooof ok, let's do it !"

And after she says that she leaves the bathroom to go into the dining room and eat breakfast.

After getting dressed, Serena came out of the bathroom and started walking down the stairs to go eat breakfast in the dining room.

The house which Serena lives in is a two-story luxury mansion with many bedrooms, bathrooms, a dining room, and many other rooms.

Although she doesn't live here for long, Serena has already gotten used to the layout of the mansion.

As Serena walks down the hallway to the dining room, she thinks to herself.

'Ever since Dad died and she took over the company, she rarely shows up at home, not to mention she has very little time to spend with me and Sakura, I wonder what she wants?'

Having this thought, Serena arrives outside the dining room, she knocks on the door and waits for a response from the other side of the door.

"Come in."

After she receives a response, Serena opens the door and goes inside the dining room.

Inside, the dining room is filled with luxurious furniture, such as luxurious paintings, luxurious chandeliers and a luxurious table filled with breakfast and luxurious chairs surrounding it.

In one of these chairs sits a woman in her forties with a tail height, body full of curves where it should be, long brown hair and silver eyes.

When the woman sees Serena coming in she smiles and says to her.

"Good morning my little girl, how did you sleep?"

Hearing the woman's greetings, Serena smiles and says to the woman.

"Good morning mom, I slept fine, how about you?"

The woman who Serena is speaking to is her mother, Tachibana Ifigenia.

She's a genius woman in the field of company management and also a caring mother.

When her husband passed away she not only managed to keep the family business successful but also managed to keep her family together.

That it's something very difficult and both of her daughters understand that so they don't complain if the mother is not meeting them.

After she hears Serena's greeting and question, Ifigenia answers to her, in a caring tone.

"I slept well, look I am sorry I didn't manage to be here for breakfast in the past few days, but I have an important issue to deal with at the company."

"It's okay mother, I know how hard you work at the company, I am not mad, I am more worried if you are eating or sleeping enough, because when you work you forget to eat and sleep."

Hearing that Serena is not angry with her, gives Ifigenia a relief, but at the next moment when she hears her daughter's worries, she becomes sad.

"You don't need to worry, my little girl, mommy is fine, she's eating and sleeping properly."

Hearing Ifigenia's insurance, Serena smiles a little, but still has a melancholy expression.

"I know, Mom, I just can't help but worry, especially after what happened to Dad."

Μentioning her husband, Ifigenia's expression also becomes melancholic as she thinks about the past.

Ifigenia's husband and Serena's father was one of the most successful people in the world, he built a business empire on his own, from nothing and became one of the most successful tycoons in Japan and the rest of the world.

But an accident cost him his life, leaving behind a family without a father.

As she recalls the past, Ifigenia takes a deep breath to calm her emotions and tells Serena.

"Listen Serena, when your father died I promised you and Sakura that nothing would happen to me, so you don't have to worry so much, okay?"

As Ifigenia says this, Serena tears up and asks her mother.

"Can you keep this promise?"

Ifigenia, who heard Serena's question, smiles and says.

"Of course I can, you know, one thing I can't do in my life is to break my promises, so when I make a promise I keep it until the end, no matter what."

Serena, who hears Ifigenia's words, finally calms down and says to Ifigenia.

"Okay mom, I believe you, just be careful, okay?"

Ifgenia, who hears Serena's words, smiles and says with confidence and self-assurance.

"Don't worry, I'll be careful now, let's eat breakfast."

After saying this, Ifigenia takes the knife and fork and prepares to eat breakfast, Serena does the same, but in the middle of the movement, she asks Ifigenia something.

"By the way, mom, what are we having for breakfast?"

"Today's breakfast includes miso soup, tamagoyaki, orange juice for the young mistress and coffee for the madam."

The one who answers Serena's question is not Ifigenia but the mansion's head maid and Ifigenia's personal maid, Shiro.

Shiro is a woman in her 30s with average height, curvy body, medium length white hair and blue eyes.

As for her character she is serious and doesn't talk more than she should, unlike Cecilia who is more talkative and friendly, Shiro is quiet and distant.

She always wears a classic maid dress and stays behind Ifigenia like a silent guardian, ready to execute any order, during the breakfast.

After Shiro gives the presentation of today's breakfast, Serena starts eating.
