I didn’t got the chance to talk with Carx after that scene happened. And even during meals, he was absolutely quite and focused with his food. I couldn’t avoid my gaze to him since the day he offered me to wear his own designed dress. I just wonder why he suddenly got interested with fashion. Which in the first place, he is not obviously that typical kind of person who wears a lot of luxurious. Or probably, he have his own outfits namely branded by his own techniques and implications. It’s very amazing. If I could just have the chance to converse with him again, I’d like to have a peek inside his room.
After a minute, I’ve washed their plates and waited for them to leave their seats to have us maids eat our dinner. While I was preparing the table, I couldn’t stop glancing through Magna. She just opened a can of sardines and put it on the bowl. We’re not allowed to take their dishes as our dishes as well, so we sometimes forced to eat preservative food quality product.“Are you close with, sir Carx?” I asked while I get for our spoons. “I just find you comfortable with inserting midst private conversation especially him. I just find it something like that.”She laughed to my question and grin. “It is nothing. I tend to interrupt with things that I didn’t like. He’s a kind of younger brother for me. So, he don’t bother to tolerate my opinions.” The way she’s telling it to me. I could feel how she must be respected no matter what. Like she have everything under her control, even it seems not showing a trace of fairness. “I’ve been living here since I was fifteen. And I really was attractive to him. But, he started bringing a girl named Mia. He told me that he likes her. He just a kind of person who likes to linger around with new girls around their house.” She explained that makes me to get clarify with something I’m uncertain of. He’s just a happy-go-lucky type of person. And he means no meaningful intention.“He even offered me to wear a dress he just sewed years ago. It’s expensive and yes, I stunned the stage by showing off myself with the dress he design by himself.” Magna was chewing her food while storytelling about an experience with Carx. “I could thought we’re close since he bothered me a lot. But the moment after he was recognized when I wear the dress. He insulted me a lot than being grateful after I confessed my adoration to him.” She froze for a moment while remembering the past. She sound bitter after continuing, “He’s got things to say. Indubitably, never been bothered of you’ll feel. He choose pretty girls. Rich and hard-to-get.”“You’re scaring me, don’t you?” I asked while sarcastically laughing. “Well, we don’t care about his life. He have it. And let him suck what he got.” That’s all what I got inside my head. He’ll definitely going to hate me if he’ll hear me backstabbing his jerky character. Well, enough with his bad side. I really am interested about his relationship with Mia. “About Mia. Was she rich?”Magna shook as response looked at me while saying, “She’s what I’m referring to. My co-worker before. We studied the same schools. But now, I decided to end my college years.” She sound hopeless and sad. “I’ve got no enough brains to use. I went to scarcity as well, and my parents are debtors. I can’t able to solve it that easy. When I always rely on is my desired degree. I can’t do my annual finance budget.” She laughed while musing a thought, thinking how could she be more unfortunate. And I really feel the same thing as she were.“Where’s Mia now? Is she doing fine?” I asked. She finished all the food and emptied her plate after looking at me.“She’ll be graduating her Senior High school year. I visit her sometime and she’s doing fine,” she said then started to wash her used plates and focused doing it. I could probably got a chance to meet her then if I’m going to agree for his offer?It’ s going late in the evening but I can’t still feel asleep when I really eager to meet Carx. I tried to reach him out on his Wazup and waited him to answer the phone. I didn’t even got a chance to make a call for my parents. And I am getting guilty the way I started to forget about them. They’re probably trying to have a call with Camila. And I’ll be brought up and kicked out if they’ll know I’m not working to with Camila. I’ll just have a call for them tomorrow.I decided to give up and put my phone to the bedside table. The ringtone suddenly buzzing, thus, I peek on it after assuming that I might be setting an alarm. I was surprised to see that it was his number there. I quickly swiped down the button to answer his call. “Hello, good evening.” I greeted and bit my lower lip in awkwardness. This will be a first time to make a move to him. “Can I take the order you have asked me yesterday?” I opened up and added a weird tone of he-he after.He yawned from his line before answering, “Okay. Are you sure?” He asked. I just have my reason now of why I wanted to go to their graduation. First of all, I wanted to see Mia’s face. Secondly, see if everything will happened the same as Magna experienced years ago. And lastly, to figure out if he was having a change of himself or really have the manner like he ever did to his previous maids before.“I am. Do I sound hesitant?” I asked while trying not get a smile to my face. “I also have to talk with your parents as well. I’d like to change a contract as housekeeper,” I said after I was slowly covering myself under the bed sheets. “Are they willing to change agreement?” I asked, trying to get a clue form him. But instead, there’s a long silence to his landline. I asked if he was there.He cough before saying, “I’ll see you tomorrow night after dinner. Just knock on my door after you finish your job,” he said then hanged it up. I didn’t get used with his bipolar-like personality. But I understand of sometimes that he act so immature and rude. That is him.After I have prepared meals and saw that our boss are having a trip except for Carx, pulling their luggage and putting them to the back seat of the car. Mrs. Venisa went inside after she put her bag to the front seat. I also helped them carrying their baggage with some businesses’ assets. Venisa was less someone I could interact in this house. Since she always got herself to the phone, always responding consecutive calls. She head back inside and peek in the kitchen and smiled. “You cooked my favorite dish, hun.” She complimented Magna’s cooking, where she fried a bacon and also a saucy chicken breast. I saw how Magna was flattered from her reactions. “Pack these to a meal box, Magna. I’ll bring them in my trip.” She ordered and took a last bite on a chicken she haven’t finished yet.“Good morning, mom.” I suddenly looked to Carx who also glance through my direction after giving his mother a peck to both of her cheeks. “Can’t you have breakfast with me?” Carx asked. He became used with this kind of circumstances. Since, his parents are undeniably that busy person.“No. We just really need to go. We have to go there as early before nine in the morning. Or else we’ll be late for the meeting,” she said and grabbed the strap of clothed bag where Magna putted the sealed dishes in meal box. They left after five minutes without even saying any goodbyes. His father didn’t bother to have some taste for meals, but emptied a cup of tea while reading newspaper.Carx was left alone and got not choice but to seat alone in the table. Magna prepared the meals for him and poured a lemon juice to the glass after. I tried to ask him about something. And maybe, I could only got the chance to speak up if Magna’s not here. I pretend to wipe the counter and sink area in the kitchen. Magna sometimes left and get back again. I could sometimes see Carx intently looking at me and attempt to say a word. But, we can’t. We’re obviously scared that Magna might drew an issue about us.“You’re stuck,” said Magna when she realized I’ve been wiping the too much and didn’t dare to switch to another area. I startle with her opinion and saw how Carx also tend to eavesdrop with us. “We’ve got to finish our task in front yard. Why do you seem bothered?” She asked while trying to touch by the back of her hands. I avoid and wry.“I’m fine—” I’ve got my chance to confront Carx already when he had put his plates by himself. “Carx, I mean, sir. I’d like to ask for your permission if you can let me have my day off. I actually aim to visit someone,” I explained and rushed washing his plates already. “Well, if you don’t mind?”“We still have a lot to clean up, Ms. Annette?” Magna inserted but Carx agree and allow me to have an hour to visit..“Be sure it is not your boyfriend,” he whispered to my ears that causes all my system to get tingle from his scorching breath.Fortunately, I could have myself a chance to meet Camila at this moment. I was even conscious of what I am wearing when Carx was following me with his judging eyes. I’ve got goosebumps when he was whispering to me that way. It makes my whole body to shiver in surprise. I don’t really expect any sort of attention from him, especially for treating me like as if we’re friends in a very long time. I sighed as I pulled the door open and step out of their black gate. The weather was sunny and was not cozy for me to hike without an umbrella. I really wear leggings and a tight shirt on me. “Mind walking with you?” I heard the guy’s voice and sound of his shoes approaching to me. He scented so nice and addictive. I glance at him and was surprised to see it was Feliz, their neighbor. Their house was just meters away from Carx, he seems very kind and I find him charrming because of his looks. I can’t deny the way he was smiling at me while showing his white teeth makes me feel so down that momen
I quickly hooked my arms to her and strides swift paces to get ourselves out in the campus already. I was surprised to see to the other corner that Carx was there waiting for something to the main gate. We’ve stepped out to the other gate that only vehicles and other private transportations are allow to enter. But I pulled Camila forcefully to make our way out successfully and take the shortcuts where there’s available fast food chain to the other side of the street. “What’s with the rush, Anne?” She asked while she tried guessing how I able to manage leaving the place so instant within a minute. “I get it. You’re afraid of the bills. Come on, the fast food chain there was cheaper than there,”she said and brought her phone screen in front of my face and showed me the image of what Gomes’ fastfood chain looked like. It was a mere house, not getting expensive vibe but only the lights are. The rest were only made of plywoods, not even painted and the interior designs are quite simple a
“What’s the matter with you, sir?” I formally asked while he was gripping my wrist tightly and pulling me towards his car. As I looked back, I saw Feliz and Rue looking on us with confusion. I don’t get it why he suddenly came out of nowhere and instantly dragging me to him. He’s not someone I have to deal with, but the way he reacted, he seems confident I must take more focus to him. “Get off me!” I screamed not that loud but enough to let him hear my protests. I’ve never seen Carx being like this. All I know is that he was kind of calm, judger, and harsh. I wonder he suddenly switch himself becoming a wild beast right now? “You should’ve in work. My father’s in the house and he’s looking for you—”“What? I thought they’re leaving?” I quickly jump in his car as he opened the passenger seat. I feel nervous the way he said that. I could still remember the day his father scolded me, and probably going to do the same after seeing me going out again and do nothing. “I’ve given you e
“What are you talking about?” He laughed as he grabbed my hand and shamelessly pulled me to insert on the line. “Neither I do. Don’t be too malicious about me.” He added and grinned after seeing my face widen as he grabbed my wrist and looked at the cashier to buy ticket. The ticket will be our entry to photobooth to get the coupon after. I thought coupons are only for those people who usually have their time entering an expensive shops. And, I just wonder why this filthy rich guy in front of me willing to take the coupon if he have money and cars by himself?He was still grabbing my wrist until we reached the room where we saw the both real couple giggling and kissing each others lips and cheeks. And, I frightened the moment I imagined doing that to him. Is he serious? My heart’s starting to pound so hard and wonder what else should I do to escape this delusion? “Why do you prefer taking me here if you know any place more cheaper than getting coupons?” I sound irritated and fr
I don’t know what to certainly react to her attitude. She’s being confident, and the way she’s telling me that she have known Carx for a long time makes me boil my blood at the most peak degree celsius. I grinned and secretly rolled my eyes in irritation. “What do you mean?” I asked, even I know for sure what she was trying to refer. But I have to make an excuse through her suspicious. “Well, I know Carx never been in any serious relationship. And yes, I think of it for sure that he’s isn’t into you,” she said and looked intently to my eyes while she wry her lips as she nod her head. “You aren’t his girlfriend, right? Hopefully, this coming graduation. He’s coming alone, not to make more controversies in his life like the last time.”I smirked and looked away when she’s making an eye contact to me. I know what she was thinking. She tried to make me disappointed of myself coming here with him, getting along with his plans, and faking myself as his partner with that couple-thing. “
My body was full of chills and I could feel how I’m getting cold sweats in my back and having a hot seat. I closed my eyes tightly and pressed my lips as I squeezed both of my hands on my lap. We’re put up in silence and barely glance with each other, this makes me feel the awkward between us when he can’t even make a straight look on the road after he have glance through the rearview mirror and saw me staring at it too. He bit his lower lip and scratch his chin and leaned his head on the back rest while trying to move on about what happened. I feel my phone vibrated in my pocket and pulled it out. I peek on the caller ID and it was an unknown number. I swiped up the call, means to decline it. “Who was that?” He asked and make a quick glance to me and licked his lower lip. “Nothing. It’s probably a wrong call,” I reasoned out and placed the phone on his dashboard. I saw him make a flash grin on his lips and rose his right brow as he started to settle the car on the garage. We arri
An expressions I can’t deny the fact that she transform into someone I didn’t expect since I have leave this house fot my own personal reasons amidst working hours. I admit disrespecting her rules, and I want to orove her of something that I am not like that in any ways. I just have to clear things out while it’s early.I faked a cough and took two steps backward and head through the sink, but Magna follow me with her glares and gently grabbed my right arm as I almost reach the counter area. She stand herself while head held up high. “Miss Annette can’t let to be your guard everywhere you go, sir Carx. For she’s staying in this house and ought to finish her obligations before letting her do the things she have to privately settle without breaking daily schedule,” she said while showing him with a thin smile on her lips, her eyes are still fixed to him who just secretly showing no interest with what she was saying. “Well, Miss Magna. You don’t have to teach me with anything else.
I still ended up following what Feliz wanted to do. I could sense how Carx was humiliated the way he shut his mouth and hissed after noticing my hands trailed down to Feliz' wrist and pulled him away there that makes Carx absolutely speechless. I even saw how Magna frowned when she was slightly pushed by Carx on her left shoulder. I deeply sighed and started to take step out of the door through the gate while still managing to grip on Feliz’s hand amidst being clueless of what’s damn happening. “Is that always happen?” He asked and looked inside my eyes, probing for assurance if I was doing fine or something. I could feel my eyes about to burst out tears and my sight’s getting blurry than earlier. If I turn into silent one, I automatically was expected to cry due feeling this extreme anger that I have to keep inside me. “Are you alright? We should not keep going. Carx never been like that before. What makes him change to a beast just for going out with me?” I made an assurance sm
