Chapter 2

Maid At Your Service

"Enty," Yorktown said. "Someday, you may take over the business."

"What makes you say that?" Enterprise asked.

Both of them were in the living room in front of the fireplace.

"I'm the head of the company, but I know I cannot stay there forever," Yorktown said. "Despite my….condition…I should keep pushing forward until it ends."

"You know you can't do that," Enterprise frowned. "The doctor told you how much time you have left and-"

"Listen," Yorktown looked up at her younger sister, taking her hand in hers. "When the time comes…please…don't be like me. I have abandoned basically my life by being obsessed with this dream of making a business. My family were the only ones who put up with it and all of you still loved me."

"Yorktown-nee-sama…" Enterprise breathed.

"Promise me…you'll live a life that has meaning," Yorktown said. "Don't throw it all away and leave the ones closest to you. I regret my decision and I don't want you to make the same mistake. So please…"

"I….promise…" Enterprise replied quietly. Part of her felt as if she wanted to live the life the way she wanted. Another part of her told her to listen to her older sister. How could she cope with how Yorktown is doing right now?

**Reality**

Enterprise is woken up by the curtains opening and the morning sun shining upon her. She squints for a moment before her vision clears to see an unfamiliar person adjusting the drapes. She is dressed in a rather revealing maid outfit that has her large breasts half-exposed. The young lady turns around and smiles at the silver haired beauty.

"A very good morning, Lady Enterprise~" the maid says. "I'm the newly hired head maid of this mansion. My name is Belfast." She does a curtsy. "A pleasure to meet you."

"I'm sorry, but…I don't recall hiring you," Enterprise says.

"Do not worry," Belfast says. "Lady Illustrious asked me to travel here and assist you on anything you have trouble with."

"I'm good, thanks," Enterprise gets up from her bed and heads to the bathroom.

"Would you like me to make you breakfast?" Belfast calls, but the only response she gets is the door closing. Not even a word. The head-maid frowns and then lets out a soft sigh. "I guess not."

She decides to do some other work while Enterprise is at it. She orders her other maids to get the kitchen organized and prepare food if Enterprise is unable to cook for herself. It's the least she can do since she is the newly hired maid. She can dedicate herself to it even if Enterprise doesn't want her to. St. Louis and Illustrious are counting on her to help Enterprise open up. They all work together to set up the table, prepare the food and then greet the parents who come just in time for a meal.

"So you are the hired maid everyone's talking about~" the Dad says. "Pleased to meet you! I'm Enterprise's father, Kotaro~"

"And I'm Hasumi, her mother~" the mom says with a smile.

"We hope you treat our darling daughters well, especially Enterprise," The dad says.

"We're worried about Enterprise quite a lot," Hasumi says. "So if you can, please take good care of her. She needs all the help she can get."

"I'll do whatever I can Master Kotaro, Lady Hasumi," Belfast bows. "Leave it all to me."

"Oh, thank you! Thank you!" Hasumi gives Belfast a big hug with the dad chuckling. "You have no idea how much this means to us! Oh! Can we call you "Bel" from now on~? You're part of the family now, so it's only fair~"

"Now, now, Hasumi," the husband says. "Don't get too ahead of yourself~"

"No, no," Belfast says with a smile. "I don't mind being given a nickname. It feels…nice~"

Just then, they hear some high heels clacking on the shiny floor. They turn around to see Enterprise entering the kitchen. She is dressed so professionally. A black office lady outfit that consists of a black blazer with a white buttoned shirt under it, short black pencil skirt, black pantyhose and black high heels on her feet. Belfast steps forward to greet her.

"You're just in time, Lady Enterprise," she curtsies. "Would you like a bite to ea-"

"No thanks," Enterprise walks past the new head maid. "I already have money to buy a little something from the convenience store."

"But, Enterprise, dear," Hasumi says. "This maid has cooked up a wonderful breakfast for you. You can't let it go to waste."

"Hornet can have it," Enterprise makes her way toward the front door. "I cannot be late. Everyone is counting on me." With that, she leaves the house.

The mother and father stare at the door worriedly. Belfast now realizes why the previous head maid quit.

"I'm terribly sorry, Bel, my dear," Hasumi bows. "Enty's been acting like this since dear Yorktown passed away."

"I heard," Belfast says. "But…I'm not like the previous head maid. This time, I will keep pushing forward until I at least hit a mark. Lady Enterprise needs to see the world."

Kotaro and Hasumi take each other's hands and jump for joy together. "Praise the new head maid~!"

**Eagle Union Corporation**

As usual, Enterprise has been working non-stop. Aside from the business meetings she has held before and after lunch, she has been working in her head office for a very long time. Sure, some workers have come to seek help from her, but other than that, her eyes are all on her work. No rest, whatsoever.

But as another hour passes by, for some reason, this new head maid has popped in her mind. This maid named Belfast. There are some questions that filled her mind as she is working. Why did she get hired by Illustrious? What can she gain from by working for her at the mansion? Surely, there is absolutely nothing she needs help with. She can take care of herself just fine. She has her own food, clothing, a bath…pretty much everything.

"Belfast…" she whispers to herself. She stops typing on her computer for a second. She finds herself glancing over at the picture frame of Yorktown…and then the pearl necklace she was given before the elder sis passed away. "What could you possibly want?"

She goes back to work right away.

**Back at the Mansion**

While taking a bit of a break, she hears the doorbell ring. She approaches the front door to answer it.

"Yes?" the head maid asks and she is greeted by Illustrious at the front door. "Oh, Lady Illustrious."

"Good afternoon," the white clad woman says. "How was your day?"

"It's going well, thanks," Belfast replies. "How about you?"

"Same here," Illustrious looks down and Unicorn peeks out from behind the taller woman.

"And hello to you, Unicorn-san~" Belfast smiles.

"H-hello," the smaller girl says as she clutches her plushy.

"May we come in?" Illustrious asks.

"Sure thing," Belfast opens the door more. "Come on in."

"Thanks," Illustrious bows.

She and Unicorn enter the mansion and kick off their shoes. The three women make their way to the living room. Illustrious and Unicorn wait for Belfast to make some tea and snacks. Unicorn looks around for a moment when she notices some picture frames on top of the fireplace. She stands up to take a look at some of them. Most of the pictures are of Enterprise and her family, including her deceased sister. She stares in awe at Yorktown.

"She's so pretty…" the purplenette says.

"She is, isn't she?" Illustrious approaches her little sister. "She's watching us from Heaven as we speak."

"Yeah…" Unicorn clutches her plushy. She's been told about Yorktown a few times, yet she didn't see what she looked like just yet.

Belfast arrives with the tea and snacks. "Your tea is ready." She pours some in small cups and hands it to Illustrious and Unicorn, who just sat down.

"Thank you very much," Illustrious takes a sip.

"Th-thank you," Unicorn says. She takes a bite of a donut and hums at the taste before drinking her tea.

Belfast sits down as well. "So…do you need something? Why did you come here?"

Illustrious puts down her tea and looks at the head maid. "I want to know how Enterprise is doing."

"She's…" Belfast looks to the side. "She's very cold to me. But not only me, but to the rest of the people."

"As expected of her," Illustrious sighs. "You are just starting out. So it makes sense for you to witness this kind of behavior from her."

"Sometimes I wonder," Belfast says. "Can I really do this? Was it right for me to take this job?"

"My answer…is yes," Illustrious says. "As your dear friend from college, I know you are able to talk people into facing reality. You've helped a few people during our college days. I believe you will do the same for Enterprise."

"But a person who's been like this for 2 years?" Belfast says. "I can understand it's her way of coping, but something like this has gone too far."

"Now you understand where she's coming from," Illustrious says.

"Well…what should I do, Lady Illustrious?" Belfast asks. "You should know even I need help at times."

"Of course I do," Illustrious gently takes the head maid's hands in hers. "There is one thing you can try to do. Be assertive. Don't take her cold attitude personally. See how she can change from there. If it doesn't work, then try a different approach. I believe you can change her no matter what."

"I'll try," Belfast says with a smile. "I am like that with most people I worked with back in college."

"And they got excellent grades because of you," Illustrious returns the beautiful smile. "I wish you the best of luck, Belfast."

"Thank you," the head maid says.

Unicorn just smiles and lets out a soft giggle.

**Later**

Late that night, Enterprise arrives at the mansion, exhausted from work. She just wants to go to bed and sleep it off until the morning. However, she is greeted by the head maid, who is standing by the door.

"Welcome back, Lady Enterprise," Belfast bows. "Your dinner is in the fridge, so if you want to-"

"No thanks," Enterprise says. "I already ate. Maybe later."

"But…Miss," Belfast looks up worriedly at the woman. "You should at least have something to freshen you up."

"I said I already ate," Enterprise keeps on walking. "I want to go to bed. Work was stressful today. I need to sleep it off."

"Would you at least let me prepare you a bath?" Belfast asks.

Enterprise sighs and turns toward the head maid. "Look, I can take care of myself. I don't need any of you to interfere with my life."

"But that's what maids are for, though," Belfast frowns. "You don't have to work so hard alone." She gestures toward herself. "I'm here because someone is desperate. I'm here because I care about you. If there's anything you need help on, please, I'd be more than happy to assist you."

Enterprise pauses as she looks at the head maid. She's very desperate, she thinks. I don't think I have seen anybody this determined before. Either that or I wasn't paying attention. Still…she won't let this go until I say something.

"Fine," the head of the corporation says. "You may prepare the bath. But that is all, okay? I don't need you to work on anything else for me."

"It's my duty as a maid to help you with whatever you need," Belfast curtsies. "Trust me, I don't mind one single bit. I enjoy the housework, so please. Let me assist you. Do you want me to wash your back, at least?"

Enterprise sighs again. This maid is really something, isn't she? "Alright. You can come in the bath with me."

Belfast smiles and nods. "Very well. Let me prepare the bath and I'll let you know when it's ready. In the meantime, do get organized~"

"Sure," Enterprise says and turns around to head to her bedroom.

Belfast follows.

**Later**

About 10 minutes later, the bath is ready and Enterprise and the maid are completely naked. As promised, Enterprise sits down on the stool and Belfast gets the sponge nice and sudsy. She washes her back nice and thoroughly. Enterprise could've sworn she can feel her maid's enormous breasts press against her.

"Um…hey, aren't you too close?" Enterprise asks.

"I'm terribly sorry, Miss," Belfast says. "But your skin…it's so soft and smooth. I am surprised you took care of it after all these years."

"Well…thanks," Enterprise says, looking off to the side.

"Almost done, Miss," Belfast says. "Just a little bit here and a little there. And…finished." She holds up the hose. "Now to rinse you off."

Enterprise nods. Belfast gently rinses her body, getting all the suds off. The maid traces her hand on Enterprise's back for a moment, seeing that shiny skin from the light above them. She gives a nod of satisfaction and gestures toward the bath.

"Your bath, Miss," she says.

"Thanks," Enterprise stands up and climbs in the tub to warm herself up.

Belfast washes herself in the meantime. Enterprise looks over at the head maid. Her breasts are huge. How they are jiggling about as she washes herself. Not only that, but…her beautiful body as a whole. It's strange but…Enterprise is mesmerized by Belfast's beautiful appearance.

Belfast takes notice of Enterprise looking at her and chuckles. "Is there something about me that looks satisfying~?"

"N-no!" Enterprise turns away, blushing. "You're just imagining things!"

"Suit yourself, Miss~" Belfast continues washing herself.

**Later**

"I've prepared the bed," Belfast says after Enterprise gets dressed in her night gown. "Is there anything else I can do for you?"

"No," Enterprise says. "You head on to bed. You've done enough for tonight."

"As you wish, Lady Enterprise," Belfast bows and allows the office lady to climb in bed. "I'm turning off the lights."

"Sure. Goodnight," Enterprise pulls in the covers and turns around.

Belfast turns off the lights and takes a few more seconds of looking at Enterprise with a worried look. She then closes the door.

She leans against the door with a sigh. At least I helped her with a few things, she thinks. But she's still as cold as ever. Now I understand why the previous head maid quit. But…I won't let history repeat itself. I will help Lady Enterprise as much as I can. No matter what it takes.
