Two Bath

The car they were riding in came to a stop. Then the gate automatically opened, and it proceeded to enter the luxurious premises.

Samantha was amazed by the immense size of the house. Wait, is it even appropriate to call it a house? She thought. For her, it looked more like a palace. The architecture was beautiful, and it's evident that the owner was wealthy.

She furrowed her brow. Doesn't being a slave mean being a servant... a maid? That would mean Samantha would be tasked with cleaning this huge house.

‘Damn it!’ she muttered to herself.

It might take her a whole day just to finish cleaning the first floor.

"Hey..." Once again, the man's baritone voice, tinged with annoyance, broke the silence. "Are you just going to stand there?" He looked at Samantha and then got out of the car. She quickly followed suit and joined him.

Her jaw dropped at the sight as they entered the grand double doors. Samantha had only seen something like this on television or in magazines. Above them hung a massive chandelier, there was a grand staircase in front, and the glossy tiles on the floor tempted her not to step on them for fear of dirtying them.

"Tss! Let's go. We still need to discuss the agreement," he said. They went through a door that led to a spacious living room and sat on a maroon-colored couch. She faced him. In front of her lay some papers that seemed prepared for her.

"Read it," he commanded, handing Samantha the document, and she promptly obeyed his instruction. Samantha started reading the paper.

She didn't know how to comprehend some of the words there, as they were quite profound. But Samantha never minded as long as she understood that she would become a slave.

She picked up the metal ballpoint pen and signed it. Even the pen she was holding seemed expensive. Just how wealthy is this man?

"You will follow what I order you to do, do you understand? And I will educate you further if I can trust someone like you," he said after she handed back the contract.

At that moment, a woman entered, wearing a maid outfit. She bowed before speaking.

"Young master... I will prepare your bath now."

"From now on, it won't be you who will prepare my bath, but Samantha here," he emotionlessly said to the maid, then looked at Samantha.

Only now did Samantha notice his eyes. They were deep black, and she gasped at his face. Damn! He's so handsome.

But she was surprised at how did he know that her name was Samantha? She hasn't mentioned anything to him yet.

"I will comply, young master," said the maid as if it were normal.

"Teach her what needs to be done. Show her where her room will be as well," he added.

The maid bowed and gestured for Samantha to come closer.

"Come on... I'll take you to your room," she said somewhat irritably to Samantha.

Perhaps she's annoyed. Who wouldn't be if suddenly replaced like that? Samantha would probably feel the same way if she were in her position.

Samantha followed her as she walked, showing her what she needed to do for their boss's bath.

"Okay, I'll do it as you instructed," Samantha replied.

"Be careful with the water you use. Our boss is quite particular," she said, then stopped at a room. She opened it and let Samantha in.

"You take care of that, and I'll be leaving. Boss Lexus's bedroom is in the second room. Hurry, he can be quite impatient when he's angry," she said, and Samantha simply nodded in response. And then she left.

‘So his name is Lexus.’

Samantha would arrange the room later, and according to the maid, she could wear the clothes in the closet.

And she quickly approached the closet and briefly picked out something to wear, but she only found one dress that caught her eye.

Luckily, the room was complete and had a bathroom.

Samantha immediately cleaned herself up. The marks from being tied up were still visible on her hands and feet. She was grateful that she managed to escape. Her thoughts turned to Shane and Kath. She was sure they were struggling right now. Samantha vowed to return to them and rescue them.

Samantha quickly finished bathing and grooming herself.

Then went up to the mansion's second floor. Samantha immediately searched for Boss Lexus's room as the maid had instructed earlier.

She knocked on the door.

"Come in," he said, so Samantha entered right away. She saw him reading a magazine in a chair near the bed.

"Uhm... Shall I prepare your bath, sir?" Samantha asked.

He simply pointed to the door of his bathroom. He didn't even bother to look at her. Samantha quickly entered the bathroom to prepare for his bath.

The maid said the water should be at the right temperature. Afterward, Samantha was to add rose petals. The boss also wanted a candle. Samantha did everything the woman had instructed, and finally, she added some bath bubbles.

The door suddenly opened, and it revealed Boss wrapped in a towel. Samantha’s pulse quickened at the sight of his beautiful body, as if a Greek god had fallen from the sky. It seemed like he had captured all the beauties in the world when he was born.

"Stop staring at me," he muttered, and Samantha quickly averted my gaze, cursing herself on her mind.

Samantha hurriedly finished what she was doing, intending to leave, but he spoke again.

"Stay here. You're not done yet."

Samantha stopped and looked at him, and he raised an eyebrow at her.

Then he gestured for her to turn around, so she immediately complied.

"Come here," he said.

And Samantha noticed that he was already in the bathtub. He gestured for her to massage his hair.

She did as he instructed. It was a bit awkward for her, but luckily the water was foamy. Samantha felt nervous.

He closed his eyes as she did what he asked. Samantha scrutinized his face carefully. His nose was perfectly straight, his eyebrows thick, and his face had a beautiful shape. He had a strong chin. His eyelashes were long, even longer than hers. Earlier, she noticed a hint of sadness in his beautiful eyes. Samantha wondered why. Her gaze then shifted to his lips, which had a faded pink color. She didn't realize that he had smiled.

Suddenly, her gaze traveled down to his abs. It was still early in the evening, but she saw bread—his appetizing abs. “Sam, you're so shameless! Behave yourself!’ she yelled inside herself.

"Oh! Bread!" she exclaimed in surprise. His eyes were now open, and his brows were furrowed as he looked at Samantha.

"Tsk! You can leave now," he ordered, so Samantha quickly exited his room.

‘Damn it, why were you looking there, Sam? Your eyes are so mischievous.’

He might think that she desired him. ‘What an idiot, self!’

Samantha was about to go back to her room when she overheard a conversation.

"Oh, I won't be able to see Sir when he's in a towel, especially with those abs," Samantha heard one voice say, so she decided to listen.

"Is that girl pretty?" another voice inquired.

"She's pretty, but I'm still prettier, you know. Will I let myself be overshadowed?" another one replied. It was one of the maids from earlier.

"I wonder where Sir Lexus found her," the first voice asked again.

"I don't know, but I think Sir Lexus will just play around with her. Just like his other women." Samantha abruptly left upon hearing their conversation, and they burst into laughter.

‘Ugh! What are they talking about?’ Samantha knew that she was just a slave, and that's all. Besides, she was not easily fooled by someone like him. And what were they saying about her being counted among his women? That will never happen.
