Landon smirked staring at Kimberly as she stormed back towards him in anger.
"You think I would stoop so low to be your maid? Do I look like a maid to you?" Kim roared in anger."No, you don't. But it looks like you don't have a choice, considering your credentials and..." He started looking at her from head to toe."There Is always a choice! And none of it involves being your maid!" She smacked rushing back to the door when she remembered her cash was still with him.She stopped biting her lower lips in regret before turning to look at him again."My money." She said stretching forth her hand and walking to his table."Is that how to talk to someone that saved your an*s from trekking all the way home?" Landon asked standing up and walking to her with the USD 25 In his hands."Haven't you done enough! Why are you frustrating me!" Kim yelled and before she knew it tears rolled down her face and Landon arched his brows."Woah. Didn't see that coming." He said with a smirk and Kim looked away feeling so ashamed of herself."Give me the money, and let me go." She muttered with her palm stretched towards him.Landon getting irritated about the whole thing already, dipped his hand in his pocket and pulled out some money, added it to the USD 25, and placed it on her palm."There you go. Get yourself dinner with it. I think I am generous enough." He said and walked back to his seat with a grin.Kim looked at her palm and saw there was more than her money there. She looked up at Landon and saw he was enjoying himself.She picked up her own USD 25 and threw the rest back at him, making it scatter all over the tiled floor."I am not begging for your filthy money a*shole!" She smacked finally storming out of the office leaving Landon dumbstruck."Did she just return that huge amount of money she certainly needs because of her ego?" Landon asked himself unbelievably.Kimberly walked out of the company fuming in anger, everyone that passed by her noticed this and they couldn't help but murmur things to themselves.A side of Kimberly wanted that money because she needed it. But the order side, which is Kimberly Johnson's real side would never take sh*t from anyone.The last thing she wanted was for her to owe that b**ch. She preferred to go to bed without food than make Landon feel she needed his help.She got to the Garage before she knew it, and took a cab going into Golden City. Right there in the cab, she pulled out her phone and began to check out her messages. She needed something to get her mind off the bad day she had.She got just two messages, it wasn't that surprising though. She wasn't the social type. The first was from her 'way too busy to visit' friend, and the other from her mother.She decided to check the one from her friend first. She opened it and saw she was just asking about her and that was all."I am not so good Danielle, can you please call me? I am yet to recharge my line, and I don't think I would be doing that soon." She replied saying out the words as she typed them.She went ahead to check her mum's own and read to herself."Kimberly you need to send some money to the house, your father is in the hospital and he needs a kidney transplant. I have sent all I have on his bills, and there is still a lot more to pay. We need money to save your father's life!" She read inwardly and tears rolled down her eyes, some teardrops dropping on the screen of her phone."Oh God, why is my life so miserable? Where do I get money for father's bills." She mumbled drawing the attention of the driver."Ma'am, are you ok?" He asked looking at her through the mirror of his car."Yeah. I am fine." She replied in haste cleaning her eyes, but the tears won't just stop dropping.She threw her phone in her bag in frustration, not knowing what to do. All she could think of was if she didn't return that money, she would have sent it to mother. And she couldn't even think of going back to him, that would be a slap on her face and she would never let that happen."Sir, can I use your cellphone for some minutes please?" She asked the driver who nodded drawing out his phone from his pockets."Thanks," Kim said. She dialed her mother's number on his phone and put a call across to her."Hey, Mom. I got your text." She said as soon as her mother picked up."Hey, do you have the money now? I am in the hospital presently." She replied staring into the ward through the door, looking at her helpless husband."Not yet mother. I went out to search for a job today, but unfortunately, I couldn't get one. I am so sorry, but I have nothing on me right now." Kim replied and her mother got frustrated."Why are you doing this to us! Why do you want to be useless to us and yourself? Kim you are not making us happy! You are making us regret all we have done for you, to make you a better person Kimberly." Her mother said out of pain and anger and Kimberly burst into more tears, covering her mouth with her palm and shutting her eyes as she wept."I am sorry Mom." She replied weeping seriously."Be sorry for yourself, for been useless to yourself. You know your grades can't secure a job for you, yet you still waste time carrying it all around!" Mrs. Johnson said and Kimberly got exactly where she was going."Mother, I am not getting married to Alexander. I don't love him." Kim said."You don't have to love him! We need his money! And you can help us for once in your life if you say yes to him! Think about it, and don't call if you want to be helpful." She smacked and cut off the call.Kimberly was so down and cried like it was her last. "Ma'am, please take it easy okay?" The driver said and she nodded stretching his phone to him."Thank you so much," Kim said and he nodded."Instead of crying, I would advise you do something to solve your problems. Crying isn't the best thing to do now." He said and Kim raised her head to look at him."Thank you." She said and he nodded.After some minutes of silent sobbing for Kimberly, the car stopped and she looked up."We are here." The driver said to Kim and she smiled faintly."Thank you." She said dipping her hand in her bag to give him his money but then he stopped her."It's fine Ma'am. I would be a monster to accept that from you after hearing all that." He said and this made Kimberly cry even more."Thank you so much. I never thought I would eat tonight." She said happily and sad at the same time."Get yourself something to eat. You can't think with an empty stomach." He said and she nodded smiling."Thank you so much." She said highlighting and he nodded. As soon as she was out, she waved him goodbye and he waved her too before finally driving off.The smile on her face faded as she stood in front of her house and stared at it."Back to where I started." She thought walking into the house.Landon took a warm shower feeling so tired after his stressful but amazing day. He fell on his bed with his shorts on staring at the ceiling.A smile crept on his face as soon as he remembered the whole drama of the day. His day has never is so fun.He loved the way he frustrated Kimberly, though he had never had anyone's time the way he had Kimberly's.He sprang to his feet filled with the desire to know about her. He walked to his table where his PC laid.He switched it on and went online in search of about her. Luckily for him, he caught a glimpse of her names so he used the search engine."Kimberly Johnson." He typed and it brought out almost everything about her. Her Facebook handle also came on the screen.He clicked on her Facebook account and it brought out her profile. The school she graduated from, and her location. Her pictures and her phone number.He clicked on her profile photo and smiled as soon as he got a clearer look at her face. She had
THE NEXT DAYLandon got up from his king-sized bed, stretching out as he wore his floppy slippers.It was a Saturday. Saturdays are always awesome for Landon. He goes ice skating, swimming, depending on his mood.But this time around, this Saturday won't be an awesome one. He would have to sit down for the House help interview."Gosh! I hate today." He mumbled scattering his hair with his palm in frustration.He checked his wall clock and saw it was almost 7 am."Woah. I woke up quite late." He thought walking to his table and sitting.He reached for his PC and switched it on. While he was still yawning and rubbing his eyes, the PC came on.After booting, the first thing he did was check out the site where the aspiring maids were to fill their forms.He clicked on the number of participants and he saw more than two thousand participants."Wow." He exclaimed.As of yesterday evening, he saw One tho
Kimberly woke up due to the loud ring of her rusty alarm clock. She sprang up as she was a little frightened."This b**ch wouldn't be the end of me." She whimpered hitting the alarm clock hardly on the head.It stopped ringing, and she yanked off the duvet from her lower body, climbing down the bed.She yawned widely and stretched out still feeling lazy."I still feel drowsy." She grumbled rubbing her eyes with her two hands.She searched for her phone in the drawer next to her bed, and then she saw it. She switched it on and found out it was a Saturday.Saturdays are always not too pleasant for Kimberly because she would have to stay indoors throughout the day. It would be a boring day.But she didn't have a choice, she has no money to take herself out and equally, she has no man in her life presently to take her out.She switched on her wifi and her messages began to pop in. Though they were few and that is because she isn't the social typ
Kimberly walked into the huge mansion looking like a novice. Her feet wobbled as she saw the large number of people waiting in the compound."How will I win against these people?" She thought examining the kind of people present.Some had cooperated wears on, some short gown and skirt, probably to seduce Landon Hernandez. Some dressed like nerds, with serious looks and recommended glasses.She walked to the back trying not to pull too much attention to herself, though some of them were beginning to stare at her already.She sighted Ruby as she walked out of the building, and noticed was staring at her."I should not have worn this gown." She whispered to herself looking away.Ruby who was still boiling in anger because of what Landon did, had no choice but to call in Kimberly Johnson as ordered by Landon."Kimberly Johnson!" She called and Kimberly's eyes widened.The others looked around trying to get who Kimberly Johnson is, and why she wasn't called with a
Ruby led Kimberly to the store where the maids were kept.She grabbed the uniform and threw it to Kimberly who grabbed it at right time.Kim placed the uniform on her body and saw it was kinda short. It was few inches above her knees."Isn't this too short?" She asked Ruby who was still boiling in anger."You can tell the boss to give you his robe Instead," Ruby responded making Kim giggled."I can see you are still very angry," Kim mumbled looking around the store and ignoring Ruby."Once you are done wearing it, come out here to sign the contract," Ruby said to her and walked out of the store cursing under her breath.Kimberly began to get rid of her gown and wore the uniform Ruby gave to her.The uniform was a little tight at the hip and very uncomfortable for Kim."How do I even work in this?" She questioned herself. She picked up her gown and rolled it in her hands walking out of the store.She couldn't walk very fast because the unifor
"Ruby I thought I asked you to do the necessary things," Landon said looking at Ruby."I would show her to the kitchen, Sir. I wanted her to sign the contract first before going further." Ruby responded and Landon sighed."Sign the papers," Landon said and Kim walked back to where they were.She took the pamphlet and didn't bother to read the instructions or whatever was written in it.She got to the place she was to sign and she picked up the pen and signed on it.She did the same thing till she got to the end of the pamphlet."Can you please show me the Kitchen now?" Kim asked looking at Ruby.Ruby said no words but began to walk. Kim looked at Landon and saw he wasn't even looking at her.She stood up and began to follow behind Ruby.Landon raised his head as soon as Kimberly stood up and he stared at her backside."Why is she so beautiful? But just so annoying?" He thought as he glared at her.Kim felt Landon's eyes on her backside an
Kimberly grabbed the pamphlet, sat on the couch, and began to read starting from the beginning. She realized that he had lots of allergies.He is allergic to crabs, too much chilly pepper, sugar, and too much milk, very cold food, and many more"How will he even enjoy himself when he is allergic to almost everything? And he has the money. I wish I had this huge money without allergies." She thought looking around the house again.She kept reading when she heard someone walk behind her. She quickly looked back and she saw it was Landon. This time, he looks calm and better than earlier."Why are you sitting down here?" He asked with his hands in his side pockets."Because I have nowhere to sit. How are you feeling?" She asked still sitting."That is none of your business, get up and go up to your room," Landon said and Kimberly's eyes widened."I have a room! I have a room in this mansion?" She asked aloud in astonishment before she could caution herse
Kimberly followed behind Landon with different kinds of thoughts rushing through her mind."What if he tries to have sex with me in the room? Is this how he treats his maids? No wonder he had no one before me." She concluded.Landon knew Kimberly was awkwardly silent, so he left her to whatever must be going through her mind.He opened the door to his room and walked in, leaving the door open so Kimberly could walk in.Kimberly prayed silently standing at the door and looking at Landon suspiciously."Is that where you would do the cleaning?" Landon asked glaring at her from inside the room and her eyes widened."Oh, it's about cleaning." She said walking into the room in haste, perhaps her mind must have wandered a little far."So what am I to clean?" She asked and Landon walked up to the door and locked it making Kim look at him in confusion."You don't have to lock the door. It's just cleaning right." She muttered fearfully."This
