Just the same old routine but this time it's different. I look more excited than before and why...?
I just aced my make up test. Everything looked normal and I was more than happy to share the good new with Mama Grey
"Don't you want to go shopping with me?'... Gloria complained. It's the second time leaving her hanging. I've got work to do
"Sorry Gloria... I have a clean up job with Mama Grey! I'll make it up to you later!"
I knew she didn't like that.
It feels we're slipping away yet so close. Things looks different now and I don't think I can be who I used to be. I have to be responsible for myself if I ever want to to stand up
"Now that's a good score!"... Mama Grey praised. For some reason I like it when she praises me. Weird but looks perfect to me
The other girls didn't like that fact that I'll be joining Mama Grey to clean. It's actually Mama Grey other expensive side hustle, instant pay and handful of cash. And that excites me
"You look beautiful in that uniform!"..a compliment from one of the customers somewhat made me smile
I look like those royal maids from anime I've seen before.
Off we go.
It was far from the city but every passing view was beautiful and I hadn't seen them before.
The crew was full of older women like Mama Grey and few youngstars like me and of two nasty looking lady
Cleaning isn't a forced job,if you're to big for it just go!
Talk about a huge palace, that's what the mansion looks like
Mama Grey told me a rich billionaire owns the place. Though we don't know who exactly since we don't ask questions about our clients.
Cleaning was sweet.
Workers refreshments...! I don't mind being a maid here forever
"Stop wishing for something like that just because of few snacks!"...She caught me. I only smiled away the mischief.
The huge store room was looking right at me. It looked dusty and I should probably clean it
"Don't think about going in!"...A older lady pulled me out
"Why...? I didn't mean anything!" Getting pulled like that...not my style
"I know you don't but if the master gets you... it'll be hell on eden!"
I did realize they'll have s secret room where we can't touch... however
"Hurry Vanessa! The master is here!"
All worker fall in straight vertical line...
The rigid expression on their faces made me realize one thing...
They didn't know he'll be coming today! Good luck or bad luck? I'll decide that once he leaves
Sharp steps I can barely count. With the sound of those shoe heels I believe it should be expensive.
In full gaze, I was beyond smitten. It would be wrong to call him handsome. Tall, beautiful face with cold expression,his expensive suit and broad shoulders
I gulped down my saliva and sudden admiration.
I can't seem to imagine how full his shoulder would be with the suit on
Damn!
What's wrong with me
"Get them their pay and have them leave at once!"...Now that's how I should fall in love. Love at first harsh word. Quite toxic but nice!
A envelope was handed down to us... just few steps away and I can get my pay...
"Who are you...? I haven't seen you before!"...
The lady handing us the pay suddenly said...! What's it to you lady.
"I just joined the cleaning crew of recently ma'am. I'm Vanessa Cantilon. Pleasure to be of service!"...
That's a shocker...even to myself
She was more than satisfied with my introduction. Those books are really paying off.
The subtle silence is what I don't quite understand...
Then... I finally know why
I didn't dare to look...if looks can kill I'll be six feet under with no extra inches.
He walked to me...the lady giving him space
"Vanessa uhn...?" The way he say my name made it feel beautiful and also made it sound like a sin
"Have we met?"...his sharp brown eyes tried to slice my heart into bits
"Certainly not sir...!" I didn't know his name so I'll have to pass. Slowing gazing on him too closely his eyes...
So familiar... but how?
Holding my chin up, I felt more than electrocution shock. Let's say deadly vibration
He smirks... leaving me to guess who he thinks I was.
But I still got my pay!
Mama Grey kept on patting my head and I knew she was worried. She made it her decision not to bring me to clean at the mansion.
And I agree.
"The daughter of the house is back!"...
Lans sarcastic remarks made me realize I came home pretty late
"I'm sorry sir...ma... I worked late at the restaurant. It won't happen again!"..
They were already eating...
"It's fine. Just call up if you're going to stay out late!"...Mr Smith brushed it off and I sure had my fill of a good dinner
"I heard you're working at a restaurant!"...now it's Bruce
"Yes brother Bruce." At least one person should know where I work just in case I get kidnapped again!
I told him where the restaurant is and a lot about Mama Grey and how nice she had been to me since the incident.
"You seem to be very fond of her?"...His eyes on me was more warm than it used to be.
"Yes...! She's like family!"...
I didn't know I said that word...
"That's good!"
Nothing else to talk about, it's time to talk to my bed...
"Wait...!" He stopped me...what now
"I'll be going to a party on Friday. Why don't you come with me to unwind? Cooked up at home and going to work can be exhausting don't you think?"
His words didn't leave me any choice to refuse.
His eyes didn't either.
"Alright brother Bruce!"...And that made him smile
"We'll go shopping tomorrow then!"
His back turned...and I could swore he has a lean full back!
What!!!!
I need to sleep now!
