CHAPTER SIX

CHAPTER SIX

"What?" Alexander asked, he was really caught off guard. This girl…he thought, and placed two fingers under his chin, his eyes fixed on her.

"You heard me, I'd like to be your maid. Your personal one." Luna was saying things she didn't want to say, but she was loving it.

She is confident, Alexander likes that. He darkened his eyes, trying to read her expressions. She wasn't joking, he could tell.

"You wouldn't last a day." Alexander said, pride evident in his voice. He was sure that this little girl wouldn't last a day with him. Nobody has.

"It's a challenge then."

She walked out of the room, satisfied with herself.

"Ouch.." Luna exclaimed as she rubbed her forehead where it had come in contact with a really hard surface.

"Holy fuck." She cursed again, now feeling the searing pinch across her forehead.

"Fucks aren't holy.." Without looking up, she knew a charming smile would be plastered on the speaker's face. "They're either dirty or sinful."

"You shouldn't wait right at the door! Look at you trying to rip my forehead with your abnormally hard chest!" Luna seethed, still not completely recovered from the hit.

This time, she glared at Christian. His brows were high up and his signature smile decorated his handsome features.

"Okay-"

No way could Christian accept defeat so easily and simply within the few hours she had known him-

"But, I promise another part of me could be as hard and can rip not just your forehead in half." He smirked.

Of course he wouldn't keep it holy.

"Shut up!"

Christian pretended to zip his mouth and throw the keys away. But, almost immediately he spoke again.

"What was it you were discussing with the boss?"

They were now walking out of the mansion.

"Being a maid."

Christian paused, disbelief written all over his face. "Are you kidding! You're supposed to avoid him, not do that! Miles is gonna be hysterical, you've no idea how worried you made him."

"I know, I know. But, I can't just stay doing nothing or I'm gonna pick everyone's pocket and get thrown out."

Christian threw his head back and laughed heartily. They had only emerged, when a small and petite woman of about the same age as Luna, approached them.

"Hello, I'm Susan. You must be Luna, the boss told me to lead you to the quarters. I see you're our new maid."

Susan smiled warmly, offering her equally small palm to which Luna took.

"This way please.."

"Take care. Make sure you stay alive and see your brother." Christian advised, as he jogged away, leaving her to follow Susan in the direction she left.

It was odd how her life was taking turns in just the span of two days. It was crazy, but she liked it…so much.

"This is the kitchen..."

It was large and filled to the brim with everything a kitchen required.

"We have a lot of maids who serve the cafeteria, but only a few get to serve the boss, Gold here does."

Two women were dicing some onions, one raised her hands and waved without sparing her a look.

"Ignore them.." Susan whispered. "The other is Crystal. They're fraternal twins."

"The boss takes his coffee first before breakfast. For a try, serve him this." Susan brought out a steaming cup of coffee on a portable tray.

"Dark coffee with no milk or sugar is his preference. Now take this to him.."

"What? Now-w?" Luna stuttered with wide eyes.

Susan shrugged. "Yes."

Luna squeezed her face into a frown. Soo, she found herself in the room she had only left minutes ago.

It was clean now, with no blood or dead body unlike minutes ago. But, Alexander was still there looking out of the window. That was bad enough.

"Here."

She dropped the coffee on the only available table in the room. "Your morning coffee."

Oh, it wasn't hard!

Alexander turned, he took long firm strides, pushing Luna's shoulder until her back almost hit the wall, but she stopped.

What was happening? She breathed from the heat that suddenly emanated from his body.

He leaned closer such that he was whispering. "You can't be my maid."

"Why not?" Luna definitely raised her chin.

"Are you willing to serve me more than just my meal?" He whispered, allowing his lips to touch her ear.

"Are you?"

Luna tried backing away from Alexander, but with every step that she took back, he took double. Her heart started beating fast, faster than normal and she didn't know how she felt about that.

"I do not appreciate being ignored. You either answer me immediately..." He moved closer to her and gripped her waist as hard as he could, placing his mouth behind her ears again.

"Or you end up like the man you saw in the room minutes ago," he completed, his hot breath brushing against her skin, which had gone cold from fear.

He backed away from her with his eyes dancing with mischief, he really enjoyed seeing her like that; scared, legs shaking and definitely rethinking the decision she made. Alexander walked back to his seat and slowly took the coffee. He placed it against his lips, his eyes only fixed on one thing - person, Luna.

Alexander didn't know what she was thinking, but he badly wanted to know. So, he peeled his eyes away from her and focused on the coffee. The moment the liquid left the cup and went straight into his mouth, he spitted it out, alerting Luna. She dashed forward and placed her hand on his back, asking him if he was okay.

That question needed to be answered by her because she literally just walked into the lion's den, nobody ever dares to touch Alexander that way, nobody!

But, there Luna was, rubbing his back, still asking him if he was okay.

"Oh, you!" Alexander stood up immediately and gripped Naya's neck, making her stagger backwards. For a second, she lost her balance, but with Alex's hand on her neck, she didn't fall down. "What the fuck is this?" He asked, pointing to the almost empty cup of coffee.

Luna stared at him like he had gone crazy for a second before muttering, "coffee. Your morning coffee," under her breath. A loud chuckle boomed across the room from Alexander's mouth. The naivety of the girl seemed so amusing to him.

"I don't want it. It's bad." Alexander whispered and Luna's eyes settled on the coffee cup again. She was confused, so confused. "I-" she tried speaking to tell Alex that she didn't even prepare it, but his deadly stares made her swallow the words as soon as they formed in her head.

"I said I don't want it! Make another one. You want to be my maid, show me you're really worthy to be my...maid."
