I looked at my reflection in the full-length mirror in my room. The room's theme was lavender, as that was the color of the walls and the curtains—actually, everything. I wondered if my grandma had told grandma Anghelita about my favorite color, or if it was just a coincidence.
As I looked at the mirror my eyes were surrounded by dark circles, like someone had punched me. Ugh, why do I have to have these black eyes? Actually, I couldn't sleep last night, so this was the result today. It's because of my stomachs! I checked my wristwatch, and it was already 4:30 in the morning. I woke up early to start my work so I could finish it early. Grandma Anghelita never mentioned what my work was, so I would figure it out myself, even though I was scared of getting lost here. After I took a bath, I put some concealer on my black eyes and started to walk down in the massive, long hallway. I really really did remember where my room was, so I wouldn't get lost. I don't want to sleep in the living room, it would be more shameless. Since I didn't have a maid's uniform, I was wearing my regular clothes. I glanced at my wristwatch again, and it was already 5:30 a.m. "Heck, I need to prepare for Grandma Anghelita's breakfast!" But how could I find the kitchen? I forgot to ask grandma for a map of the house yesterday. I would definitely ask for it later. I tried my best to look for the kitchen, but I ended up doing nothing, just wandering around in the mansion. Ugh, I'm already tired, and it's 6:45 a.m., and I still can't find the kitchen, and I haven't even seen any maids here. I stay for a while in the living room, wiping the sweat from my forehead. Why did they plan to make this kind of huge house? If I will be given to choose if I'll make this kind of massive house, I prefer no. I don't want to torture myself. "WHAT THE HECK YOU STANDING HERE!?" I almost jumped in shock when I heard someone cursing behind me. I slowly turned to see who it was, and my mouth dropped open when I saw this handsome guy standing in front of me, wearing a business suit and with messy hair that suits him, he looks like anime on his hair. But my mouth turned into a straight line when I saw his serious stare at me like he wanted to wipe me out on his sight. Ack? why so snappish? "Who the hell are you? Are you the new maid? If you are, then who the heck hired you? and didn't they tell you not to block my way!?" he said angrily, looking like he was about to explode. "Why are you so snappish in this so early in the morning sir? Try having some coffee first, cause it can help it to calm your nerves. And yeah, I'm your new maid here, and even if I'm just a maid sir, could you at least respect me—us? We're also human beings, Mr.Mcgrumperson." I retorted, raising my eyebrow. "The heck are you talking about? tsk, nevermind I'm too tired to argue with some people like you." He said sleepless. He walked past me, bumping my shoulder on purpose, I knew he did that on purpose!. What a mean guy, Take this! I grabbed a throw pillow from the couch and threw it straight at him, hitting him on the head. He stopped and turned around, his eyes burning red. Ow shit, wrong moved. "WHAT THE HECK IS YOUR PROBLEM, MAID?!" His voice echoed through the mansion, making my heart beat fast. I froze, every instinct screaming at me to run. But instead, I just stood here unable to move. He grabbed the collar of my t-shirt, yanking me forward until our faces were inches apart. I could practically feel the heat radiating off him. His grip was like a vise. "Who the hell do you think you are, doing that to me?!" he snarled, his voice low and dangerous. Crap. He's going to kill me. He slammed me back against the wall, the impact knocking the wind out of me. My head throbbed. Was this guy for real? Such an ill-tempered jerk! "Go kill me," I taunted, plastering on a sarcastic smile despite the fear clawing at my throat. I watched his face darken, the veins in his neck bulging. He looked like he was about to explode in anger. "OH MY GOD! KAIZER, STOP IT!" Yeah!you just just got in time grandma! Grandma Anghelita’s voice shattered the tense silence, and the pressure on my collar vanished as he released me. So kaizer is his name? such a crazier. Grandma hurriedly approached me and checked to see if I was hurt. She sighed in relief when she confirmed that he hadn't hurt me. But she didn't know that I nearly died from the pressure of her grandchild's grip, his hand on my collar was so tight, it was like cutting off my air. "Kai—" Grandma Anghelita stopped when she saw Kaizer walking up the stairs, presumably to his room, with both hands in his slack pockets. Wow! Relaxing? "My apologies for what my grandchild did to you, Samantha," grandma apologized, as if she was used to her grandchild acting like that. I didn't let him out of my sight until he reached his room, which was next to mine. Wow? How incredible it is, It's just one step to be with that Mcgrumperson. "He's been like that since he graduated from college, and I'm used to it.And" grandma, paused and held my both hands,"If you can just ignore him, please do, okay?" Eh? Why is grandma acting like that? It seems like he feels sorry for him.What's the story behind her grandchild? "Grandma, if you don't mind, may I ask why he's like that?" I asked curiously. She just sighed and sat on the couch. "I don't know. All I know is that one night he came home really drunk, mumbling something we couldn't understand, and the next day, he became like that, always quick-tempered." Even though grandma didn't outwardly show that she was sad for her grandchild, I could still feel it in her voice. Ugh, I scratched my head as I remembered what I was supposed to do. First day of work, and I didn't do my job well. Ack First day, First Fail. "Grandma, I'd like to apologize as well," I paused. Lola glanced at me with a furrowed brow. "Why, Samantha?" she asked curiously. "I haven't cooked your breakfast yet." I said this shyly, I heard grandma giggle, and my shyness increased to 100%. "Come on, Sammy, who told you to cook breakfast?" she asked while laughing. 'Ugh, grandma I was sent here, so of course it automatically I will work here,' I wanted to say, but I was too shy and prefer to zip my mouth. "Is it because they sent you here, so it means you need to work?!" Now she's lil'bet serious. I nodded. "To clarify, Sammy girl, you weren't sent here to work. You were sent here because your grandma Facita wants you to have a life that you deserve, the life she wants for you." A life that I deserve to have, life she wants for me?! She stood up and put her arm around my shoulders. "Let's go, let's eat breakfast together, Stop Overthinking." She guided me toward the dining area, and I was still puzzled by what grandma Anghelita said. my own grandma sent me here for the life that I deserve? She wants, What did she mean by that?. "Don't think too much of a sammy girl. Let's eat first, and we'll have our house tour later, so in case you won't get lost." She said jokingly, Wow."What's wrong with that poker face, Miss Samantha?!" Ryuji asked when he entered the office that he also owned.I just shrugged my shoulders and faced him. Since he said that he knows Kaizer well, "Ryuji, do you know where Kaizer went last night?"He stopped and acted shocked, moving like an idiot doing slow-motion walking towards in front of my table."You're crazy, Mr. Ryuji Ledezma!" I commented. He laughed when he realized what he did and now sat in a chair."Actually, Ms... wait, what's your last name again? I didn't ask for it the whole time we've been together for a week." I rolled my eyes at how he simply made me laugh."It's Samantha Samina Samuel," I said and leaned my hand on him for a handshake."Wow, SSS?!" I just withdrew my hand and pretended to hit him, which made him laugh. "Kidding aside, Ms. Samuel, by the way, what a long, nice name," he complimented."Thank you, Mr. Ledezma, and please don't change the topic. So, where did he go last night?!" I'm eager to know abo
It was already at 9 p.m., when I got to Grandma's house. I was walking in the hallway when I almost jumped when someone suddenly spoke behind me."Enjoying your work with him, huh?" Is he teasing me? I was about to pass him when he suddenly grabbed my right arm and tightened his grip."O-Ouch, Kaizer! It hurts!" I yelled at him and tried to remove his fingers, which were gripping my arm very tightly."KAIZER, WHAT THE HECK!!" I was already tearful from the pain. I looked at his expressionless face, and it seemed like he was eager to crush my bone."KAIZER!!!!!!!" I slapped him hard, and he finally let go of my hands. I immediately looked at it, and it was very red and looked swollen, "What's your problem? Look at what you did to my arm!" I shouted at him and showed him the marks of his grip on my arm.But knowing him, he didn't care, he even smirked like a devil, as if he didn't do anything to me, "Don't flirt with Ryuji, or you'll get more than that," and he turned his back on me.Wh
I arrived at the 45th floor early, and I knew Kaizer wasn't here because his office lights were off and the door was locked."Where did he go?" I went directly to the office, and there was a guy sitting on the couch wearing a formal suit, and he was staring at me like a damn pervert."Are you already judging me in your mind?!" He spoke."Who are you, and what are you doing here?!" I asked and went straight to my desk chair and sat down, since he looks good I won't mind him and he can't easily enter here if the guard and kaizer didn't know him."Nothing, just roaming around." Nice, who is he? 'Nothing?'I didn't even bother to look at him and ask who he was but instead analyzing some papers at my table. "You two have some similarities.""Who?" I asked, is he comparing me to someone?"Nothing, btw, he wasn't here for 1 week, so let's just be together for now, so don't be grumpy."I laughed at what he said."I'm not grumpy, it's just that I don't know you,I asked your name, but you answe
I woke up because of the loud door slammed. Ack, can't he just move slowly? how inconsiderate he is, after I helped him!"YOWWW MEN!!!" Ugh, the energy, who the hell is he? I assured that he's not kaizer based on his voice, like it has a lot of energy in his life, unlike kaizer the dead ball walking."OWW SHESHHHH AKISHA?! IS THAT YOU!" Say what? akisha? is she here now? really? I was about to get up when I heards footsteps beside me, heck? should I panic? what if he does something to me?"OWW MEN! HOW?!" Ackk! I'm starting to hate his energy!."Shut up, Ryuji!" Kaizer said coldly, so he's ryuji?"Who is she, is it her?!" I didn't dare to move. I just pretended to be sleeping to get some info, since he said 'Akisha,' so maybe he knows her, yeah!."No, wait for me outside! I'll just change my clothes," then silence.I slept on the couch last night, cause he didn't want me to leave right? and since I'm generous, I stayed and slept here on the couch.And now the blanket was covering my w
"Where are you going, Samantha?" I stopped walking when I saw grandma coming out from the kitchen area. Wow, she's awake at this hour? It's 4:30 in the morning and the first mass will start at 5:00, so I got up early."I'm going to church, grandma." I answered."Good, Would you like our butler to accompany you?" I shook my head."Are you sure? You might get lost," she said with concern."Yes, I think." I raised my cellphone, which puzzled her, "I'll use GPS." She smiled playfully, like she thought something naughty."Okay,so take care of yourself, okay?" I smiled and nodded.--After mass, I glanced at my wristwatch. It was 7:30 in the morning. Since it was my day off, I'd go home to get some sleep so I could gather strength to deal with the ill-tempered person tomorrow. I need to ask God for strength and maybe some insight into Kaizer's past and why I was sent here.As I was walking towards my room, the little boy came out of his room. He was shocked when he saw me but quickly compos
I glanced at the clock as I walked into the office—8:30 AM. As I opened his poker face welcomed me. "It's almost 8:30 in the morning, and where the hell have you been?" my boss barked. Seriously, did he have to start every conversation like this? And always about the time. I slammed the food I'd bought from the restaurant onto his table, not even bothering to look at him. "Are you deaf now? And what kind of food is this?" he snapped, glaring at the plastic container as if it had personally offended him. "Why? Did you actually specify what I was supposed to buy?" I shot back, finally meeting his gaze before turning and heading to the restroom. Inside, I retouched my makeup and then suddenly burped. Ughh, I'm so full! At least I probably won't fall asleep during the meeting later, thanks to all those energy drinks. I laughed, remembering his face earlier. You deserved it, Kaizer, I will push you to your limit. I lingered in the restroom, enjoying the peace and quiet. When
