Katrina's phone alarm rang and she woke up. Checking the time and seeing that it was almost seven in the morning, she came down from her bed. She needs to prepare her boss breakfast.
Walking into the bathroom, she started brushing her teeth. Few minutes later, when she was coming out of the bathroom, she tied her night robe well and hurried downstairs.
She went into the kitchen and switched on the kitchen lights. She has to make coffee first, her boss likes drinking coffee first thing in the morning.
Just as the coffee was ready, he came into the kitchen.
"Good morning Sir " Kat greeted.
"Morning, " he replied in a cold tone.
"Well, I'm not surprised. I'm used to it already. He's back to his normal self."Katrina said inwardly.
"Give me a cup of coffee, " he said.
"Okay sir " she replied and did as she was told. She didn't add milk as he doesn't like it with milk.
He drank it and kept the cup in the kitchen sink.
"I'm leaving for the office by 9. The food should be ready before then " he said.
"Okay Sir " Kat replied and he left.
She began cooking. She brought out her flour and other baking ingredients. She was planning on baking her favorite biscuits and chocolate cookies.
She started mixing the flour, sugar, butter and all and stirred all together. Soon, the mixture for the biscuits and cookies were ready. She started cutting out different shapes for the biscuits.
She put both the biscuits and chocolate cookies in the oven. She remembered baking with her mother and singing along with her.
Katrina waited for some time before opening the oven, the biscuits were golden brown and the cookies were baked already. She brought them out and placed them on a plate.
Rinsing her Boss favorite plate, she played some cookies and biscuits on his plate and took it to the dining table.
She came back to the kitchen, took a glass cup and poured milk into it and took it to the dinning table too.
Breakfast was ready!!
Katrina went upstairs to tell her boss his breakfast was ready. She knocked on the door and he came to open it.
"Your breakfast is ready, Sir, " she said.
"What did you prepare? " he asked.
"Chocolates, cookies, biscuits and milk, " she replied.
"Okay. I'm coming down soon " he said.
"Okay Sir, " Kat replied.
Katrina peeped through his door and saw Molly curled up on his bed, she had forgotten that Molly came here last night.
-----------------
Eric called Katrina and she went downstairs to answer him. She was in her room. She went down and noticed he was through with eating, his plates were empty. He was also fully dressed for work.
"Molly said she wants to have breakfast in bed. Any moment from now, you should take some cookies and milk to her " he said.
"But Sir, do I really have to serve her in bed??.. I work for you not her " Kat said protesting. She won't allow herself be treated like a slave to that thing upstairs.
"Molly is my fiancee and you must treat her with respect, not only her, but every one of my women. " he said.
"Okay Sir, " Kat replied grudgingly.
"Good " he said then stood up from his chair taking his briefcase with him.
"Tell her I left already " he said and she nodded.
He walked past, opened the door and went out of the house.
"He didn't even commend me for my cookies. Tch.."Katrina said after he left.
She packed the plates to the kitchen and rinsed another plate, dishing out some cookies and biscuits, pouring milk into a glass cup and putting them all on a tray, she took it to Molly.
When Kat got there, Molly was sitting on the bed with her phone in her hands. Katrina greeted her, then dropped the tray on the bed. Without waiting for her to say a word,she quickly left the room.
Katrina served breakfast for herself too.
The cookies were still remaining, so she decided to take some to Alvin. She had totally forgotten about him.
She carried a tray containing a glass of milk and cookies to Alvin.
He was happy to see her.
He collected the tray from her and sat down on a bench. Katrina sat beside him and they discussed as he ate.
"Nice cookies, " he said.
"Thank you, " she replied.
"You really can cook, " he said.
She smiled at him.
"You are really lucky that the boss didn't say anything after checking the clothes, " he said.
"That was because there's nothing for him to complain about. I washed it clean " she said proudly and he laughed.
"You are hardworking, beautiful and smart, " he said.
"Don't flatter me," Kat replied. She was blushing already.
"I'm serious. Why did you come to work as a live-in maid? " he asked.
"Ummm... It's personal " she replied and he gave her a weird look.
"Plus I need the money, Boss pays well " she quickly added to avoid any suspicion.
"Ooh I see, " he replied, nodding.
"Yeah. I think you're through " I said.
"Yeah "he replied.
"Okay, let me take the plates back to the kitchen and wash them, " she said and he nodded.
"Thank you," he said.
"You're welcome " Kat replied and took the plates back to the kitchen.
She saw Molly standing at the doorway of the kitchen, she was fully dressed. She was about to leave.
Good for her!!
"Nice cookies, " Molly said to Katrina.
"Thank you, " Kat replied.
"But don't think you can win Eric over with your cooking and all" Molly said.
"Excuse you.. What do you mean? " Kat asked.
"You know what I mean. Eric is mine alone and you should stay clear. You're clearly not his type but who knows you might seduce him to fall for you " she said.
"I don't have to seduce him, he clearly is going to fall for me" Kat retorted back and smiled at Molly's facial expression.
Molly gave her a hard look.
"You're joking. How about you work for me? " she said.
"Huh? "
"I want you to monitor all his movements and the women he's meeting and give me feedback, " she said and Katrina laughed.
"I'm sorry but I can't do that, I came here to work as a maid not as a monitoring spirit. Give your job to someone else " Kat replied.
"Fine, suit yourself. I'm leaving " she said.
"Bye," Kat replied.
Molly cat walked past Katrina, opened the door and left. Katrina shook her head wondering how someone as beautiful as Molly could be so stupid. She went into the kitchen to do the dishes.
"Just wait and see Molly, I'm here for games and I'll definitely take your man away from you" Katrina swore to herself.

One month later---------------------------- Katrina had gotten used to staying in Eric's house. She has checked everywhere in the house and her favorite place in the house was the beautiful garden and the swimming pool. She spent most of her time there either reading a novel in the garden or sitting by the pool dipping her legs into it. She was not a good swimmer but she could try.If she wasn't at the garden or by the poolside, she was always with Alvin. The both of them became very close as time went by. Her relationship with Eric, her boss, was still bad but he was starting to become less harsh to her. Katrina sat with Alvin at his duty post chatting. He rarely leaves his post so Katrina was always the one going to meet him."So tell me do you have someone you like? " She said, starting a conversation."I once had. I don't have someone I like now " Alvin replied."What happened to the girl you liked? " She asked."She jilted me. She left for a rich guy. I had to leave the c
"Katrina " Eric called again. She's bleeding. She had a cut on the left side of her face. It almost touched her eye, thank God it didn't touch her eye. Eric checked to see what must have caused it and saw the broken chandelier. "Damn my carelessness.. I should have taken care of this already " he said to himself. But why's she unconscious?? She must have stumbled and fell. He checked her head and his hand touched a bump on the head. Sighing, he carried her up gently. Gosh, she waa slender but she has a lot of weight. He managed to carry her to her room and lay her on the bed. Her clothes were soaked with sweat, thank God she was putting on a singlet, he undressed her leaving only the singlet on her. Then he went to his room to bring his first aid box, a bowl of water and a towel. He cleaned the cut with the spirit and cotton wool before putting a plaster on it. After soaking the towel in the bowl of warm water, he started cleaning off the sweat on her forehead and body. -----
Eric sat on his office chair in his office writing on a book. His thoughts wandered to what happened yesterday and he stopped writing. He didn't know when he started laughing remembering the way Katrina pushed him when she woke up. Gosh!!, she's really funny. She had called him an arrogant pig. He was surprised he didn't react to it, he was supposed to be angry but he had found it funny. He shook his head and took his pen to continue writing when his phone rang. It was his mom calling. Why was she calling when she knew he was always busy at this time? He answered the call. "Hello darling," his mom said at the other end. "Hello mom, how are you doing?" He asked. " I'm fine baby, I know you're busy right now. I just wanted to let you know I'm at your house right now" His mom said, going straight to the point. " But you didn't tell me you were coming. I would have stayed home" Eric argued. "Don't worry, I'm going to wait till you get back. I'm having dinner with you tonight."
Eric had returned back after he took his mom home safely. It was almost eleven pm but he doesn't feel like sleeping. So he decided to go to the pool, he loves staying there whenever He's chanced to. On getting to the pool, he saw Katrina sitting on the floor besides the pool.She comes here too?? She looked lost in thought, she's looking more pretty tonight. He walked towards her but she didn't notice till he sat down and dipped his legs into the pool. Katrina turned to look at Eric and made to stand up but he held her back. Eric held her unconsciously and when he saw Katrina staring at his hands, he let go of her abruptly. "You can stay " he said. "Ummm... Okay" Katrina replied and sat back. "So what were you thinking of?? " Eric asked. "You didn't notice my presence." "Nothing, I was just looking at the beauty of the moon " she replied. "You watch the moon at night? " He asked. "Not always, but I watch it when I can't sleep up in my room" she replied. "Oh, I see. I love w
"My God, " Katrina screamed. Eric's body temperature was high. Could it be the rain?? She started to panic. Then she remembered what her mom usually does when her body temperature is high. "You need to relax Katrina, " she said to herself. Just then Eric's phone rang. The caller was Melinda. Who was she??One of his numerous ladies?? Katrina ignored the call. On second thought, she decided to pick the call. "Hello, " she said. "Sorry, can I speak to Mr Eric? " The caller asked. "Ummm... Who are you? " Katrina asked. "I am his secretary. He has an appointment by nine: thirty with Mr Dennis and he's yet to come " the caller replied. "Ooh.. He can't make it, he's sick" Katrina replied. "Since when?? " The lady asked. "Last night, " Katrina replied. "Damn. That means I have to cancel the appointment, ``she said. "Please do, " Katrina replied. "Extend my greetings to him. I hope he gets well soon " the lady said. "Thanks" Katrina replied and ended the call. Eric was sti
Katrina got carried away with her dancing that she didn't realize Eric was watching her. She got startled when she heard his voice and she stopped dancing immediately. "No don't stop. I love it" he said. "Uhmm... I'm sorry Sir, I got carried away " she apologized. "No it's fine. I enjoyed watching you dance " he replied. "Really? " Kat asked. "Yeah... Teach me how to dance " he said teasingly. "What?? " Katrina asked surprised. "I'm serious " he said laughing at her facial expression. "I'm not a good teacher " she replied laughing. "Hmmm" "Yes Sir " she replied. "So tell me, what else do you know how to do?? I know for a fact that you can cook, clean, dance, bake. Are there more?? " he asked, folding his arms on his chest. "Well, I can wash, I love sewing, I can knit. I think that's all" Kat replied. "Wow, your future husband is really going to be lucky. His wife would know how to do lots of things " he said. "Thank you. At least my husband won't have to waste his money
Katrina saw him bend his head to kiss her. At first she was too surprised to do anything. His lips was almost on hers when she regained her senses. She pushed him away. Eric didn't know when he drew Katrina back. Their faces almost met, she was looking pretty and her lips were too tempting. Without thinking, he bent his head to kiss her and wasn't expecting the push. Okayy, first time a woman was rejecting his kiss! He got pissed and threw his hair back in anger, holding his forehead to calm himself down. "I'm sorry about that. I didn't know what I was doing, if not I wouldn't have tried to kiss someone like you. You're clearly not my type " He said angrily. "Huh? " Katrina asked. She was surprised by his outburst. "I think you over stepped boundaries. You're coming close to me. From now on, I'm going back to the way things were before. You will talk to me formally from now on and a new rule is added." Eric added. "A new rule? " Katrina repeated. "Yes, you won't talk to me unl
Katrina walked to her room in anger.Gosh, she was really angry right now. She felt like punching someone. Eric's so arrogant. She was thinking he's a changed person but she was clearly mistaken. Then she remembered the happy moments and tears dropped out of her eyes. She started sobbing."He's just too cruel!!!" She screamed."Okay Katrina, no more tears for that arrogant pig " she said to herself.But wait, why was she crying?? Katrina stood up and walked over to the dressing mirror. She stared at herself in the mirror still wondering why she cried."Just admit it, you miss him" her inner voice said."No way" Katrina corrected immediately. She dried her face and went downstairs.Eric was no longer there. The used plates was still on the dinning table. She packed the plates to the kitchen and washed them, then she went up to her room to take her bathe after washing the plates. After taking her bathe, she wore her night robe.She wasn't feeling sleepy and she felt like going to t
