Chapter 10

"What... Maid? What do you take me for" She threw back the white and blue uniform back to him with a frown on her face?
"Don't worry... I'll double your pay from the usual salary..." The boss replied while throwing the clothes back to her.
"Double...Do you think the maid is so simple that you'll just buy me off with your stinky money... I'm not doing... end of conversation" She frowned at him with his eyes already swollen.
"Don't worry, I'll triple your salary" The boss replied again as he walked towards the window and flipped it sideways.
"Damn... Do you think I'm joking when I said I'm not doing... You can't buy me off with your money... I don't need it .." She yelled at him and put a frown on her boss's face.
"Fine... let's just call it a day and pretend we never had this conversation" he concluded and was about to leave the sitting room.
Ohh.... this is a temptation... Three times better than my salary, I have to do this... I need money for clothes, a house to live in and food... I have no other option.
"Wait .. Fine... I'll do it but one deal" She walks slowly close to me and hits her little finger on my forehead.
"You'll have to keep your word and that is triple the bills" She smiled at me and walked backward...
"Fine.." He replied with his strong face surrounding me.
"When do I have to start?" She asked while staring at me.
"Now of course... why do I have to throw you your uniform" He scolded her as if she knew she was starting.
"What... No... it can't be today... I have to tell my colleague... I mean the one in my office" She grumbled while walking around the sitting room.
"You don't have to worry about that...I'll take care of it..." He replied while walking away from the sitting room but he stopped on the way.
"Please prepare breakfast for me," He said to her with her mouth open
"What... Wait a minute... you said I should be your maid which means I had to clean the house chores and not cook for you... How does your breakfast have to do with me" She yelled and he smiled at me.
"Is doing the house chores not part of being in the kitchen? I'm hungry... prepare me something to eat before going to work as soon as possible..." He replied and left the sitting room
"Ummmmmm" She grumbles and walks into her room.
She changed and went to the kitchen before her boss interrupted her again.
"What are you trying to do? Cook for me with your Stinky hair open... Com. on.. go and cover that dirt you put in your hair" He scolded me and my heart broke into pieces that I almost shed tears.
I walk slowly as I tie my hair with cotton close by... This, my boss, is strange... Sometimes he's nice and sometimes... he's cold... Anyway... I should start again and pretend I'm only a maid.
"Good Morning boss" She vowed her head while her boss stared at her in confusion.
'Yeah... I did it...Sorry, we did it...He's confused now ' The devil in her whispered and she turned and back and looked at her boss but it seems the boss isn't affected at all.
She looked around the kitchen but didn't see anything to prepare, just noodles and some ripe fruit on the table...
She looks at her clock and the time is already gone but it doesn't matter to her since he's the boss of the company.
She prepared the bowl of noodles and was happy she did something useful in her life.
She served it at the dining table and called her boss to come down.
"Sir...Your breakfast is ready" She smiled at him while talking.
"Thanks" He stood up and walked to the dining table...
Jennifer was busy standing behind him and watching him open his food.
"What this," He asked as he saw the food.
"Your breakfast" I replied, staring at him.
"You can't be serious that this is my breakfast" He replied again while staring at me.
"It....your... breakfast" I stammered while replying... it was like I had just done something wrong.
"Don't worry...I'm going to work ... you can eat your food" He replied and stood up from the chair while heading to work
"Damn... why does my stomach have to make this noise now?" He commented while holding his stomach.
"Boss... you and I know that you are hungry so why don't you get your ass here and sit down" She pushed him making him sit down back on the chair...
"Take ..." She uses the fork and tried to feed her boss with it while he was staring at her
"I know it's delicious... eat more... you'll like it" Her seductive voice makes her boss so quiet because she places her left hand toward her boss's nipple while feeding him.
Suddenly, someone walks into the house...
"What is happening here?" The boss's mum walks in and sees how the young girl feeds her son.
"Don't be with mum... I'm going to work now..." The boss replied after pushing her away from her body.
"Who's she and what is she doing here?" Her mum asked again, still confused about what was going on.
"She's my maid and I just employed her... No need to worry about her...I'm heading to work" He tried to leave the sitting room but his mum stopped him.
"Wait for me in the car" She whispered to him while staring at Jennifer.
"My son... I know you man enough for yourself but that child there... How come do you know her" His mum talks slowly in the car while Jennifer was busy staring at them from the window hoping she would hear something.
"She's the girl I told you about... I mean the girl on the market... she started working with me recently but with her story... I think the company isn't safe for her so I employed her here" He replied while holding his mum across her shoulder and smiling at the same time.
"oh... your love... Chuckle...Yeah... No wonder she's treating you like a pet" His mum laughed at him as soon as she heard the word.
"Mum! I thought we had talked about this... I don't like her and besides... she isn't my type of person and I won't even dream of having her" He grumbled while staring at his mum but his mum kept smiling at him.
"My dear... Don't you see the way both of you are playing love over there" His mum laughed again and this continued to anger the boss... He almost left the vehicle but his mum stopped him from doing that.
"She is my maid and nothing else... I don't have feelings for her and I won't have feelings for her even in my next life...Get it, mum... Stop stressing me about this low-class girl thing... I don't like it" He shouted but his mum kept on smiling.
"My dear, you are not getting younger every day. instead, you are getting older... Look at your life... it's time you start making decisions on your own... I can't be there to lead you to the part... How old do you think you are and besides I'm old to have a grandson or a granddaughter or do you think you are too young to have a child... I'm not saying you should start having feelings for that girl you called your maid or whoever she's to you but I'm saying you should start following your heart...There is a lot of weight on your shoulders and you must learn how to act fast. instead, you may end up growing old without achieving anything" His mum advised him as she placed her hand on his shoulder... Her advice almost made her cry and it seems she needs a grandson but her child doesn't want to give her.
"Mum... You don't have to show me this face... but don't worry I'll sort things out nicely and I promised to make you proud" He brought out a white handkerchief and wiped the tears off his mum's face before leaving for work.
His mum stayed in the car for more than fifteen minutes to make sure her voice was clear enough to talk so that no one would notice she was crying.

"Seriously, Jennifer isn't coming to work today... All this has to stop.. Look at the way I'm pressed here, no one to help me... today of all day... I'm tired... Why does this work seem more stressful to me or am I the only one suffering like this? What should I do, how do I contact her... only God knows where she slept today since the gateman said he didn't sleep at his house... If she comes now and I asked her, she will start showing that her useless face" Jeffrey grumbles at the same typing in his system... he looks stressed and hasn't been able to take a walk since no one is there to help him.
"Who should I call now? Secretary? or the CEO?". He grumbled again and stood up from the office...
'I can't kill myself because of this work, I'm going to take a break and same time ask people if they seem my colleague' I whisper to myself while locking my office door...
I head straight to the secretary's office but she's not in her seat... At first, I thought she might be in the restaurant but I went there and she's not around either...
Since there is no more hope... I heard back to the CEO's office and asked for a replacement since Jennifer is not coming today... and unserious.
"Good afternoon sir... My name is Jeffrey and I'm also a staff here... I don't know if your people have told you about me but I have a partner who we share an office with... Lately, she's acting weird and today is a big day for me... I've only had the chance to come out now and also ask about the whereabouts of my colleague, Jennifer. Since I haven't seen her today...Why don't you try and employ a new staff for me to work with and if she comes back, that means...Hmmm," He paused and tried to crack his head but nothing came out of it...
"I know who you are but your colleague Jennifer is not coming here again... She's at my place now and I think she's resting" The boss replied, staring at Jeffrey.
"Sir... Resting? There is work today... why do you have to cage her in your house... it's unfair... I can't even take a breath in my office and now I finally get to know she's at your place, why don't you bring her to work today" He shouted at the CEO...
"Because she's my maid now" The CEO shouted back at him and Jeffrey remained silent.
"I'm sorry for raising my voice on you sir but glad I know where my colleague is... Please if you can talk to her today... Tell her I said hi... Thanks" Jeffrey lowered his voice and left the office with pity.
"Yeah... You should leave" The boss replied and nodded his head.
"Stupid set of people... He just came to my office and started raising his voice on me? Who you think he's... A low-classmate that I picked from the ground... He's stupid... I'll get him out of my company... I promised myself that" The boss grumbled while Jeffrey left.
"Take a deep breath... Yeah.... you are doing well" The boss relaxed down with his technique. His grandfather taught him anything he's angry about.
' I wonder what Jennifer is doing now and I hope my mum hasn't told her anything about me...Please, Jennifer, do well today... I don't want to shout for you when I get home ' His inner voice whispered to him.
As he was thinking about Jennifer, his phone rang.
"Hello, please who's this?" He looks at his phone and sees that this number hasn't called him once in his life.
"Hello, boss... it's me, Jennifer... I hope you are coming home early today... I missed you" She ended up calling immediately.
"Woah...." The boss was frozen and didn't know what to say.
