Arthur stood inside the bright dining room of his luxury mansion overlooking the high city hills.
He held a fresh glass of orange juice in his hand while preparing for a busy morning.
The sunlight filtered through the large white windows and reflected off the polished marble floor.
Arthur was a wealthy businessman who owned a thriving real estate trust fund and several corporate buildings.
He loved his peaceful morning routine because it gave him time to think clearly before long meetings.
His young fiancée Victoria was staying with him while they planned their big upcoming winter wedding.
Victoria always claimed that she loved him deeply and wanted to care for his large estate.
A quiet maid named Elena was sweeping the hallway nearby with a subtle and careful motion.
Elena had worked for the family for three years and knew every corner of the house.
She was always hardworking, honest, respectful, and attentive to every minor detail around the estate.
As Arthur lifted the cold glass toward his lips, Elena suddenly stopped her sweeping in the hallway.
She dropped her broom on the floor and rushed into the dining room with urgent steps.
Elena: Stop! Do not drink that glass, sir!
Elena reached out her hand quickly and knocked the glass directly out of his steady grip.
The glass hit the edge of the marble counter and shattered into small pieces instantly.
Bright orange juice splashed across the clean floor and soaked into the white counter surface below.
Arthur: What are you doing, Elena?
Arthur stepped back in disbelief and looked down at the ruined glass on the floor.
He had never seen the quiet young maid act so wild or desperate before this moment.
Elena: Forgive me, sir, but you were in serious danger!
Before Arthur could ask another question, sharp footstep sounds echoed loudly from the grand hallway.
Victoria walked into the room wearing an elegant green dress with a cold look on her face.
Victoria: What is the meaning of this loud noise in the morning?
She stared at the shattered glass on the counter and narrowed her eyes in heavy anger.
Victoria: Did this reckless maid just ruin your breakfast and spill juice on the floor?
Arthur: She knocked the glass away from my hand before I could take a drink.
Victoria: She should be fired immediately for disrespecting you in your own house!
Victoria stepped forward and yelled loudly at the young maid who stood near the counter.
Elena did not back away or lower her head despite the harsh shouting from the woman.
She held her small purse tightly and prepared to speak the truth without any fear.
