WHITE CLOVER

 If love was a crime I am guilty for falling for my boss who is engaged to another, i thought was wasn't the type to fall for someone like him but ever since I started working in Hanson's estate as a maid I found myself falling for this man.

As I sat on his bed I grabbed his pillow and sniffled it, a smile settling on my lips as the his scent clouded my nose.

"What are you doing in here" 

I was immediately frightened, I thew away the pillow and stood up to face my boss, Calhoun Hanson.

I saw the amusement on his face as he stood at the door. 

"Mr Hanson, I was only cleaning your room as directed by the butler" I said, lowing my head to avoid his gaze.

"Only cleaning? " He raised a brow at me as I glanced at him.

"Yes Mr Hanson" I nodded.

Unexpectedly he started striding to me.

When his footsteps halted in front of me, my breath hitched and my heart raced. 

I didn't dare raise my head, just when I took a step back he took a step forward.

I gulped as I noticed his menacing stare on me.

"Is stifling my pillows part of your job?" He quizzed as he slouched at me.

Taking a deep breath I bowed, saying " my apologies Mr Hanson that was inappropriate I wouldn't do it again,"

"Don't worry you won't be doing it again, you're fired" He firmly spoke, skirting around me.

Fired? How? 

If he fires me now I'll not get that college sponsorship my step father promised me and my life will be more miserable at home.

My life will only get worse from here if I return home...and I don't want to be forced into a marriage with that retard old man.

"Mr Hanson... might you pardon me this time I promise you I won't do it again" I pleaded.

Also the thought of not being close to him was giving me chills.

" I'm getting sick of seeing your face sweetheart" He responded indifferently as he took off his dress jacket.

Those words struck a chord within me, he reminded once more that I wasn't the prettiest in the room...

My face had quite a lot of ugly freckles let's not even talk about my mouse shaped ears I had to always cover with my bob hair.

On the other hand my step sister was a beauty queen, her natural face looked like make up itself, her type of beauty turned heads.

〝Sir please can you reconsider I swear I'll not show my face before you anymore, I'll keep my distance"

"Are you trying to put words into my mouth?" He stared at me.

"Mr Hanson if you fire me my family will not welcome me back home" I found myself explaining while I lowered my gaze to the floor.

Honestly speaking, since I started working here, this is the very first time we were speaking eye to eye.

"Look at me" He ordered.

Gazing back I him I saw him with an unfazed expression.

"..." 

"Do I look like I have fucks to give about your messed up life?" He sneered in a throaty tone rendering me speechless.

After a moment I sighed.

"My stepfather promised to sponsor me in college if I served you well for a year without getting fired, Sir please you can not fire me now, I'm begging you" I folded my hands together as I begged, relentlessly.

"Look over there" He pointed at a secluded corner.

"Since you're one of the maids who personal cleans this room I'm sure you would have noticed that micro CCTV" he added, flatly.

My jaw instantly dropped in shock as I stared at a tiny red flickering light coming from that particular corner.

How come I never noticed it, more important how long has it been there!

If it has been there long before i even arrived does that he's aware of everything I always do in his room.

I looked at him wordlessly as shame and embarrassment slowly engulfed me.

Suddenly I felt my throat go dry, my legs weak, before I knew it I fell to my knees, coughing.

A few moments later he stood before me, staring at me coldly.

"Get out" He said, roughly.

No I will not be getting fired, I can't afford to get fire now! 

It's only been three months... not only will my stepfather cancel the promise he'll just marry me off to an old man.

I grabbed ahold of his leg, tightly.

"Please Mr Hanson I promise you if you pardon me this time I'll do as you say henceforth" I declared, still clutching to his left leg.

"Anything?" He reiterated in a low voice to which I nodded vigorously, letting go of his leg.

"Yes, I swear it" I rose to my feet still nodding to convince him.

"Go shut the door and we can talk" he instructed indifferently as he went to seat on the couch.

I promptly did as told without a second thought and came to stand before him with my eyes lowered, respectively.

"Come here" He said.

The second I delayed he clasped my wrist and dragged me into his lab.

My eyes widened in surprise at the sudden move he made.

I wanted to pulled away immediately my head hit his chest but he encircled his arm around my small waist, pulling me closer as he tilted his head to meet my eyes.

My heartbeat became irregular with every passing second, I turned away from his alluring gaze, the longer i look the more lost I become.

No I don't want to fall any more then I have, he shouldn't be tempting me like this...

My heart skipped a beat as he grabbed my chin roughly and jerked my face up so I could meet his eyes which gave me the chills just by looking into it.

The moment he inched closer, his lip brushed against mine slightly, making me gulp as my eyes flustered.

"We shouldn't be doing this Mr Hanson"
