Cheryl POV
I open my eyes
I groan and sat up,I observe the room
Shit! I sleep in Asher's bedroom
I look beside me,he was still fast asleep
As I tried to leave the bed he woke up
"Good morning " he said
I just nod, stood up and left his room
I entered my room bath and got dressed
I heard a knock on my door,I open it
"Come down for breakfast" Cecilia said
"I would l like to have it in my bedroom"
She raise a brow "everyone in this house must eat at the dinning table"
"Excuse me"
"You can't refuse to eat either"
"How dare you tell me what to do , you're just a maid"
She smiled" I've been in this house longer than you will ever know and between me and you "she chuckle" you're the least important , go to the dinning the Master of the house will be there so don't delay!"she said and was about to walk out
I held her by the shoulder, turn her to face me and slapped her
She held her cheek
"I'm the least important?" I scoff
What audacity!
"I am one of the young mistresses in this house and I will get the respect I deserve, next time it won't end with just a slap ,be warned"
She bit her lips, it was clear she was angry but it will teach her to know her place
"Now go , I'll be down in a minute!" I said dismissing her
She left
**
I went down , everyone was at the dinning both the men and women, the table was long and filled with different dishes at the end was Master Williams , he was looking older than I imagine him to be
I sat on the empty sit close to Asher , I observe no one was eating and the atmosphere was tense
"Why didn't you come down with your husband Mrs Asher" Master Williams questioned emphasizing on the Mrs Asher
"Because she refuse to take care of him" Asher's mom said"my poor child " she shed tears
"Why wouldn't she? she is forced to marry an idiot and just found out she is going to babysit him her whole life" a handsome guy who sat close to me and Asher snorted
He had a resemblance with Asher
"Dylan! Are you supporting her against your mother"
"No! I just think it's time for us to realize he is going to be an idiot for the rest of his miserable life and start telling the public about it"
"I agree with Dylan "" a woman said
Asher's mom scoff "of course you will agree Elizabeth , you never liked my son from the beginning"
"But it's no lie that he isn't that same Asher any more ,he is now a complete idiot" a young woman my age said
As they keep giving they're opinion, I notice Asher clenching his fist in anger
Of course who won't be angry after hearing them call you an idiot multiple times and by your family
I frown, I felt pity for him
I really don't want to interfere but I just couldn't let him be called an idiot , I'm the only one allowed to call him that!
"Stop calling him an idiot!"
Every eyes were on me
"I understand you want to stand up for your husband But he is an idiot" a guy said
I scoff "he isn't an idiot idiot, he is just different, he might not be as smart as all of you but he isn't an idiot , he's sharp , and he can be smart if taught,he feels things like any other person so from now on stop calling him an idiot"
"And why would will stop just because you said so" Dylan smirk
"You think he's smart?" Master Williams asked
Everyone stopped talking
"Yes!" I answered confidently
"I'm having a billion dollars business contract , he will take care of it, everything about the contract will be given to him, if he is able to make them sign the contract no one in this house will call him an idiot again but if he fails to do it...." Master Williams look at me
I feel shivers
I swallowed
"You will pay for the money I lose" as he finish he began eating
Everyone started digging into their food
Shit! I've put myself into another mess, why does Asher always make things difficult for me!
And why do I keep getting involve with him!
How do I get a billion dollars, I've stopped getting money from my Dad
Why didn't I keep my mouth shut!
I doubt Asher's smart
Damn it
Why did I say he's smart?
I would have let them continue to call him an idiot!
I cried in my heart
I started digging into my food, I could feel the stares at all direction
And the one I notice more was Asher's
But that isn't my problem right now, I have a billion dollars to get or can I be able to teach Asher to get the contract signed
Will he be able to do it?!
