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
CLARA 'S POVI sat on the floor soaked with the dirty water I was using to mop Leo's room, I could even taste the soapy water in my mouth. I ran to bathroom and turned on the tap, I used my hand to cup some water putting it in my mouth and rinsed it thoroughly. I took a glance of myself on the mirror, I was looking so disorganized with my hair scattered, my cloth was soak and dirty, my eyes had turned red because I had been crying. I left the bathroom and went back to his room, I picked up the mop and the bucket. While I was going back to his bathroom to fetch another water, I noticed that the bucket had broken by the side and I couldn't use it. I threw the bucket on the floor out of anger and frustration breaking it the more. My challenge now was how to get another bucket, I would definitely be mocked at if I go downstairs in this miserable state I was in. It would give Renata the impression that her plan to frustrate me was working perfectly, the true is, it is actually work
LEO'S POVImmediately she left my room, my mind flashed back to the woman I had see her with earlier. I couldn't stay in my office so I decided to come back to my room, I was shocked in the state I met it. It was so irritating and I couldn't even step in, I heard noise coming from kitchen and it was getting louder now. I was sure I also heard Clara's voice, It seemed like Clara was begging someone or trying to explain to someone, and the person refused to listen, then I went to check what was going on. The woman was pushing Clara like she was an animal or a slave. " Oh yeah, she is a maid but it is still different from being a slave" I thought when I realized what I had just said, I kept on staring at the door waiting for Clara to come back. " Why are you eagered for her to come back Leo? The girl hates you, she even called you an annoying beast. Of course no one likes me anyways " I said aloud talking to myself as I placed my right hands on my lips massaged it softly. She was
CLARA'S POV"Sir, I think I would go to my room to freshen up " I told Leo while we were still on the staircase, heading to his room. I tried to free my hand again but he was hold my wrist tightly and I wasn't strong enough to force it out. Leo looked at me for some seconds without replying, by now I wasn't hearing ma'am Lauretta screams. " Sir do you mind letting go of my hand? " I asked him. " Why don't you freshen up in my room? "He said and was about to continue walking but I didn't move which stopped him from walking any further. In as much as I would love to have a nice shower in Leo's bathroom, I couldn't possibly do it because of fear. " Come on, let's go" Leo said again but I still refused. When he saw there was nothing he could do to persuade me to go with him, he left ny hand alone, I immediately used my second had to massage my wrist. "I thought you were going to come, I would have killed you. Why do I need to know if you want to freshen up or not ugh? You should com
While I was heading to Leo's room, Renata called me immediately she saw me passing through the kitchen. I was surprised and wondered what she wanted to say, she walked up to me and looked at me directly in the eye. '"The battle line has been drawn, let see if you would survive here" She pushed me and walked away. Surprisingly, some maids weren't laughing unlike before, probably they thought I was going to report them to Leo. I shrieked and left the kitchen, I was climbing the stairs when I saw Leo coming down. He was putting on a black shirt and pants, with a black designer boot, his shirt also had an embroidery by the pocket. He had his two hands on his in his pocket as always while his guard walked slowly behind him. "Come with me "He said immediately he got to where I was standing "Sir? I'm sorry I can't go. I don't attend burials I will just go back and wait for you " I said in reluctance to follow him as he kept on staring at me, it seemed like he was in shock and I wo
LEO'S POV"Why would she think I was going for a burial, like black wasn't a cool colour?" That was all that kept on ringing bell in my head while I was driving to Jack's house. He called me earlier that day, informing me about how his dad was attacked and was hospitalized so he had to run things in the Mafia but he didn't know how so he needed my help. I was surprised when I saw my phone ring and it was Jack calling, I remembered what he did and chucked I didn't want to pick his call because I was still mad at him. Jack kept on calling so I thought it was an emergency, he was still my friend anyways, he had always been there for me anytime I needed him. After promising him that I was going to be there soon, I ended the call sent for Clara. By the time she came I was already done preparing, already heading to my car when I saw her coming to my room. She paused when she saw me and that was when she asked me if I was going for a burial, I was shocked by what she mean but I decided
I didn't even noticed when they came back, not until their foot steps got loud. I looked up and saw Jack holding Clara on her waist while his other hand rested on her shoulder. I gave him a frowned, and he responded with a confused look on his face that was like asking me what was wrong. They finally sat down on the chair opposite me and Jack was still holding her waist, I wondered what his problem and motive was. Clara wasn't helping either, she rested her head on Jack's shoulder comfortably, not minding the fact that her boss was there. " Why do I care anyways? " I thought and rolled my eyes at them, crossing my leg fixing my eyes on my phone, but I wasn't doing anything instead I kept on taking glances at them. I could tell Clara was enjoying the slight cuddle she was getting from Jack. For a moment, I imagined how it was going to feel if I was the one actually holding her waist like the way Jack was doing, and if she rest on my shoulder like that without resisting. I smiled,
CLARA'S POVI was surprised that Jack and Leo were close friends, In school Leo acted like he didn't even know Jack and now he is in his house. Nevertheless, I was mad at Leo for how he embarrassed me in Jack's house, he even called me a thing. If I was a thing why did he bring me along with him? Why did he hug me the other day? Why did he punish ma'am Lauretta after what she did to me? I knew I met nothing to him neither did he mean anything for me anyways, but based on what Renata had told me about him, he has never treated any other maid or anyone the way he treated me. I felt so bad because he openly called me his maid and a thing, but I didn't want him to notice so I held back the tears that was struggling to flow down my cheek, but I flopped when I couldn't bare it anylonger. I cried in front of Leo and Jack, it was so embarrassing, but as usual Jack was there to console me. He took me to his kitchen and used a wipe to clean my face while he kept on patting my head. "It fin
