He needs me... my heart race even though I know what he mean by that. "Yeah, you need me... a maid."After I finished applying the gauze pad to his forehead, I returned the used items to the first aid kit. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see Rozzean, who was looking straight ahead with folded arms. I suddenly felt guilty about what I had done. I'm sure if Rozzean had fans club, they would come after me for what I did.I mean, I injured his handsome face.I sighed again. I didn't know how many sighs I had taken today. I glanced at Rozzean; I wanted to ask him again about staying here if he was sure, but I felt shy.I sighed once more. My hands couldn't stay still. My fingers toyed with the edge of my uniform."If you have something to say, just say it, don't keep looking and sighing. I can't read your mind, Tali."My mouth hung open at his words. I was embarrassed! After what I did, I really thought he'd fire me. I even said an emotional goodbye to Manang earlier, and she assured
"Tali, some seafood was delivered earlier, a gift from a board member to Sir. Would you like to cook that? It's fresh," Manang suggested.I went to the fridge right away and saw the seafood Manang mentioned: shrimp, crabs, squid, and mussels. Hopefully, Sir isn't allergic to any of these."Sure, Manang!"I took out the seafood and cleaned them. When Manang offered to help, I declined and suggested she sit and watch instead. I wanted to make up for what I did to Rozzean by cooking well, so he wouldn't be embarrassed in front of his guest.I also grabbed a chicken from the fridge. I was going to make spicy chicken barbecue, and the last dish would be sisig. I checked the time; it seemed like I would manage to prepare these dishes as I had more than one cooking station. I would do some multitasking. I am used to this since we are a big family at home and my brothers are heavy eaters."You're really good at cooking, Tali. Where did you learn?" Manang asked.I glanced briefly at Manang and
I sat in front of Manang after I finished what I was doing. We were just waiting for what Sir would say about where to prepare the food. He's still upstairs. Maybe he's preparing? I looked at the clock and saw that there were only ten minutes left before one o'clock. Who is his visitor? I wanted it to be a woman but then there's a strange feeling inside of me opposing what I want.I glanced at the seafood, particularly at the mussels. Suddenly, I got carried away, remembering what Rozzean said earlier and how he licked his lips. I am not a dirty minded person, but his gesture was like he is seducing me. dThat ass. I knew what he meant by that. I'm already 29 years old and yes even his d/ck was the first one I saw in my lifemeans I am innocent but that doesn't mean I cannot understand his smile. I haven't even had a boyfriend yet, and those "firsts" in relationships haven't happened to me, but I know those kinds of lines also."I'm eating mussels, Tali."The question is, what's his f
I swallow hard. I had been so focused on arranging the flowers that I forgot Rozzean might know about different flower arrangements. And, as a maid, these arrangements weren't as basic as he thought. Thaliana, you forgot you're not wealthy, and you didn't even finish a college degree!"W-What, sir?"Pretending not to understand what he said."That's a tussie-mussie. Suitable for my room. I like it."My nervouseness disappeared because of what I heard from Rozzean. H-He's right. The other flower arrangement that I did is a tussie-mussie. And wow. I was a little surprised that he knows the name.But did he say that he likes it?"H-Huh? What is that, sir?" I asked.He got up and took the tussie-mussie. My heart started beating fast. It felt unusual. His knowledge about flowers and how he carefully picked them earlier made me feel warm inside."Take one to the gazebo and the other to the living room. I'll bring this one to my room," Rozzean said.I observed him as he walked away. It surpri
The moment I heard that, I raised to looked back at him.What?! Damn, he's Rozzean's friend?! h-he is the guest?I take back what I said earlier! that maybe Rozzean is a good guy because hell, Maki is a playboy, and they are friends! Their intentions might be connected! womanizer! playboy! "What's wrong, Thaliana? and what is this?" he asked.I massaged my temple. "You are the guest Rozzean was waiting and not a woman?" There was no disappointment in me, but I felt even more relieved. What's really going on?"I am! but, explain to me first. What are you doing here in my friend's house, huh? did Uncle George knows about this? the last time I heard from them, you were in Palawan, Grand said that you are engaged and you wanted a vacation first and they--" when he processed everything his eyes widened at me."Holysht, Thaliana. You lied to your parents you--hmmpp!" I immediately went to his side and covered his mouth. This is a mess, if Dad found out, he will get mad at me."Fcking shu
So... a model, huh? Rozzean quickly glanced at me before answering my cousin. "Maki, I didn't drive that girl home, Colver did. I can't stand her. I don't like her smell," Rozzean replied.My cousin laughed again at what my boss said. Then, Maki looked at me for a moment before taking a bite. Fck this ass. But to be honest, I suddenly felt relieved when I heard my boss's response.O-Okay... this is weird.Earlier when I heard what Maki said, I was surprised. I felt annoyed upon learning that Rozzean drove a girl home, and she's a model.And now, I felt even better when Rozzean said he didn't drive her and that he didn't like her smell.I don't like this feeling..."Wow, that's delicious!" Maki exclaimed.Doesn't he know my cooking? He used to eat at our place often, and I'm always the one who cooks the food. I remembered he was a chubby high school kid back then."Who cooked this? Do you have a chef at your house, Rozz?"Rozzean shook his head, "She cooked it," pointing me."Really
Maki had already left, but I remained motionless in my spot. I couldn't help but replay his words in my mind. I often heard Maki saying silly things, but this was the first time he spoke with such seriousness."Ahhh, what now? Should I leave? But it's only been a week..."But I couldn't ignore what Maki had told me and be stubborn about my decision. He was right. Once Rozzean found out about my plan and that Thaliana his fiancee and Tali, his maid was the same person, he would surely get angry with me.What I did was nad, it was deceitful. I entered his home as Tali, lied a lot about myself to carry out my desperate plan to prevent my father's wishes. I can't even picture Rozzean's face being mad at me. "I don't know now..."Part of me was awakened by Maki's words, but the other also didn't want to leave. I didn't know if it was because I wanted to find a reason to tarnish Rozzean's image in my father's eyes or if it was for another reason.I let out a deep sigh. I looked at the tabl
Immediately, Manang followed the order. I, on the other hand, was unsure about the feelings I was experiencing. I felt like Rozzean was avoiding me, but why? is he mad at me? When I checked the time, it was already five o'clock, and I hadn't noticed the hours passing due to deep th. I trailed behind Manang into the kitchen."Manang, should I prepare our dinner? There's still plenty of food left from what I cooked earlier."I gazed at Manang with a puzzled expression, wondering why I felt like I had done something wrong because of the way Rozzean had looked at me. "No need, dear. I already asked Sir about it, and he said we shouldn't bother."I nodded in agreement. When Manang set down the three beers on the table, I thought about offering to take them to Rozzean's room myself. Trying, I need to see if he really is avoiding me of it's just my imagination."Manang, may I bring those to Sir's room?" I asked with a hopeful smile.But before Manang could respond, we heard our master's vo
