LEO'S POVI waited patiently for the arrival of my food, I remembered Clara's diary and continued reading. I smiled when I read that her favourite food was spaghetti, and it was the only dish she could prepare well. I thought of going to have my bath before eating, but I changed my mind because I was so engrossed in reading the diary, and I didn't want to stop. I decided to eat before bathing, then I could have a nap and wake up later in order to attend the meeting I had by 10:00pm. Someone knocked softly on my door, I could barely hear it."Come in" I said with my eyes still fixed on the diary. The maid brought in my food, she gently placed on the table before leaving. I was reading the part where she said, bullying was a criminal offense to her and that she never let anyone bully her, no matter who the person was, I couldn't stop the laughter that forced itself out of my mouth. " Ohh shit, my food" I kept the diary under my pillow and went to eat, my food had become warm,
CLARA'S POVI tuned the door knob, about to open the door, but I stopped when I heard the master last sentence. "How is it possible that he was going to kill them, why would he even do it at the first place? He was probably just pulling their legs because he was angry" I thought, not until I heard him telling his guard to take them to the torture room. Who would have thought that there was a toture room for maids in this house. I closed the door gently, resting my head on the door, I have really caused a big mess. The workers were crying, pleading for their lives, I bent down looking transfixed. How would these innocent people die because of me, I couldn't think of any way to cover up this big mess I had just caused. This was the moment when I wish I could turn back time. I opened the door slowly, in order to avoid the creaky sound being heard. I saw Renata crying, she was being dragged roughly by one of the guard. Hot tears were beginning to roll down my cheek, I tried to wipe
LEO'S POV" Sir, here is the pain reliever " I went to the fridge to take a bottle of water. I didn't like taking drug and I couldn't take one without water. I poured a large quantity of water into my mouth, before putting the pill, swallowing the water and the pill at once. My guard turned to leave "Go and get the cctv footage from the security room, I need to see who really poured the water." I said handling the bottle of water to him, he returned it back to the fridge before leaving. I laid down on my bed trying to get a nap but I wasn't able to sleep. I forced myself to sleep for few minutes, but sleep was far from me at the moment, instead I kept on turning restlessly on the bed. I took out Clara's diary which was under my pillow and I continue reading from where I stopped. I was smiling as I read it, not until I was interrupted by a light knock on my door. "Come in" I said, knowing fully well that it would be my body guard returning with the cctv footage. Although I was
CLARA'S POV" Phew, that was close Clara. Innocent people almost died because of you" I soliloquised, hitting my chest gently while I walked slowly down the stairs. The fact that I got to know that Leo was my boss, was the greatest shock of my life. It kept on bothering me until I was about to open the kitchen door, then I remembered the people who I had sent to the torture room, because of my mistake. I became worried about what they were going to think of me, they would definitely be angry with me. I turned the door knob slowly in order to check if they were in the kitchen but the kitchen was deserted Instead. I stepped into the kitchen with my left foot, followed by right then I shut the door behind me. I looked round just to be sure that no one was in the kitchen, after I was convinced that I was the only living thing in the kitchen, I walked quickly to the second door that lead to the maids quarters. I needed to have a quick bath and a change of cloth. I opened the door a
LEO'S POVThe morning sun shone through the window into my room, because the curtain was wide open. The sun was shining directly on my face, forcing me to wake up even before my alarm rang. I had set my alarm to wake me up by 7 o'clock and now I am partly awake, and the time was just past six. I tried to get up from my bed but my eyes were bleary, so I sat back on my bed for some minute, allowing the sun to shine on me. I walked to the window to close the curtain after I was fully awake, even while I walk I could feel pains all over my body. I search my desk looking for my phone, but I couldn't find it." Where could this damn phone be? " I said as I walked back to my bed to search for it, I hate it when I looked for my things. I raised my pillow and found it on top of Clara's diary. I took it and called my personal bodyguard number." Hello boss" He said with a firm voice, but I couldn't tell he was just waking up from sleep I probably woke him up. " I need some massage now " I sa
CLARA'S POV" Geez, what was that for?" I said inaudibly standing up from bed and wiping my wet face at the same time. Someone poured water on me while I was still sleeping, my bed was soaked and water was dripping from my body. I was cold as the morning breeze blew strongly entering every part of my body. " This must be Renata's hand work" I said in anger, I couldn't think of anyone else except her because, we were the only one that stays in the room. I looked at the clock, the time was twenty six minutes to four. "why would she wake me up so early in such manner" I thought, I was still drying my hair, when I saw her coming out from the bathroom, our eyes met with each other, she rolled her's before looking away. Unlike before when she would always greet me and we would talk while we prepared. " I want you downstairs before 4 o'clock, " She said, already dressed up while I was just removing my cloth, by the time I was heading to the bathroom, she was already leaving the room.
I walked closer to them slowly, standing beside a chair and waiting for their next move, Renata instructed the other maids to start leaving and they obeyed immediately. I looked at her while she was passing instructions to other maids, I wondered how she became head within a blink of eye. Few days ago we both took instructions from the chief-maid, but now she gives instructions I have to obey." You, carry that tray on the table and follow me" She said pointing at the tray, before turning to leave. I went over to the table and took the tray, I looked at the items in it, they were the ointment and other items for the massage. I walked towards the door, carrying the tray with my two hand. Renata had just opened the door and had turned back to probably check if I was coming, she closed the door even when she saw I was only about five feet away from her. I had to drop the tray on the floor before opening the door, and also did the same thing before I could close the door. I climbed
LEO'S POVAfter I instructed her to stop, she left my room immediately to God knows where, although her colleagues were still in my room finishing up and packing some things. I couldn't help but laugh inwardly about the fact that she said, she was going to school, "Does she even know what day it is?" I thought. I got up from bed and went to the bathroom to have my bath leaving the maids in my room to continue with their. I knew when they left my room, because I heard when the the door was closed. I came out from the bathroom feeling so refreshened, I was heading to my wardrobe when I saw a maid sweeping, I wondered how she got into my room and who she was as I couldn't even see her face. I was about to draw her attention when I noticed I only had my towel on, I quickly ran back into the bathroom and put on my boxers. I came out from the bathroom and question the maid, I asked her what she was doing here but she didn't give me any response, neither did she even turn to look at me
