Ang kusina ni Lucas ay parang eksena sa isang high-end interior design magazine, lahat gawa sa makintab na stainless steel, at ang mga appliances ay mukhang digital na baka mas matalino pa sa akin. Pero sa kabila ng karangyaan nito, halatang bihira itong magamit para sa totoong pagluluto. Kulang sa amoy ng bawang, walang bahid ng mantika, at walang buhay. Ngayong araw, babaguhin ko ’yon.

“First rule of the kitchen, Assistant Lucas,” sabi ko sabay turo sa sink. “Maghugas ng kamay. At pagkatapos,

  • Working as a Maid for the Billionaire   Chapter 268

    Anya took my laundry this morning but it was already quarter past eleven and I still haven't gotten my clothes back. My flight to Singapore for the meeting was scheduled for four in the morning, and the car to take me to the airport would arrive at precisely three. Everything else in my leather luggage was packed aside from my suits. I checked my watch again. Nakatulog ba sya? I think I forgot to tell her to bring my clothes right after it dried. Pero hindi ba’t dapat naman talaga niyang i-lagay sa kwarto ko ang mga tuyong damit ko? I pinched the bridge of my nose and sighed. Calling Manang Ruchel at this hour felt unnecessary and overly harsh, especially if the clothes were simply sitting downstairs waiting to be fetched. Deciding to handle the matter myself, I stepped out of my room and walked down the maid quarters. I stopped outside the door I knew was assigned to Anya and knocked lightly with my knuckles. But there was no answer. I knocked again, slightly firmer this time. "A

  • Working as a Maid for the Billionaire   Chapter 267

    Years have passed and I didn't had the chance to see her again. A lot of things has changed and I could hardly remember her name. I was driving on my way home, when a sudden shadow blurred in front of my car, my heart practically stopped afraid that I might kill someone. I slammed my foot on the brakes, turning the steering wheel hard making the wheels make a squeak sound. My heart hammered against my ribs. Time seemed to freeze as I watched a woman collapse onto the hard pavement, her eyes shut tight and her shoulders trembling in sheer terror. I threw the driver's side door open and stepped out, a mix of adrenaline and frustration surging through my veins. “Bakit hindi ka tumitingin sa dinadaanan mo?!” I shouted. My voice came out deeper and harsher than intended. But beneath the anger was a wave of pure relief that my car hadn't actually struck her. I hurried over and grabbed her arm to help her up. When she lifted her face, I froze. Her eyes were glossy with unshed tears,

  • Working as a Maid for the Billionaire   Chapter 266

    Mr. Ramos looked at me confusingly. Mukhang nanibago dahil sa pagpapakita ko ng interes kay Anya, "She officially dropped out early this week, Lucas. Her paperwork was finalized last Monday." Dropped out? My brows furrowed. Nag-drop out siya? How come? She worked herself to the bone every single day just to keep up with the curriculum. I had seen her sitting in the library until closing hours, surrounded by thick reference books, stubbornly memorizing terms she clearly struggled to understand. Someone who fought that hard doesn't just pack up and drop out overnight. "Why?" the word slipped past my lips before I could stop it. I quickly caught myself, adjusting my posture and adding a slight touch of cold curiosity. "I mean... the semester is almost halfway through. It seems sudden." Mr. Ramos sighed again, waving a dismissive hand in the air as he zipped his briefcase shut. "Well, to put it simply, she just couldn't keep up with the standard here. Henry isn't an easy school, Luca

  • Working as a Maid for the Billionaire   Chapter 265

    A full week passed after that day, and true to her timid nature, Anya didn’t make a single move to approach me. Bakit ba siya nahihiya? She mustered up the courage to gave me the cake but now she can't even get close to me. Every single morning, I walked through the main gates expecting her to suddenly pop up from behind staring at me. Every afternoon in the library, I sat in my usual spot near the back row, keeping my eyes fixed on my tablet screen while waiting for that familiar, slight shift in the air that meant someone was peeking at me from behind the history section. But there was nothing. She kept her distance too well. Whenever our eyes accidentally crossed paths in the hallway, her face would still flush but instead of lingering, she would duck her head, clutch her worn-out Minnie Mouse backpack tightly against her chest, and scurry off in the opposite direction like a frightened rabbit. She was taking her unspoken rule of staying out of my social sight far too seriously.

    I looked down at the brown paper bag, then back at her face. She was biting her lower lip, staring at my chest, she couldn't clearly look me in the eye. "I don't need a thank you," I said coolly. Mas gusto ko pang ipang-kain niya na lang ito kaysa ibigay sa akin. Not that I'm not grateful but she should prioritize herself over someone else. "A-alam ko!" she blurted out quickly. "Ay, ah hindi ako galit ha. Ano lang, nataranta lang ganun. Anyway, ang ibig kong sabihin ay ano…alam kong baka wala lang sa'yo to pero syempre gusto kong magbigay pasasalamat sa ginawa mo noon dahil niligtas mo ako.” I stared at her for a long moment, letting the silence stretch out between us just to see how long she could hold out before breaking. She stood her ground, her small frame trembling slightly, but her stubborn hands remained outstretched, refusing to pull the offer back. A small, genuine sense of amused smile pulled at the corner of my mouth. I reached out, taking the crumpled paper bag from

    I didn't look back, but as I rounded the corner of the building, the absolute silence behind me felt different. I kept my hands shoved deep into my pockets, adjusting the collar of my uniform as the afternoon breeze carried away the last traces of that irritating scene. In my mind, that was the end of it. I had cleared out three annoying pests, retrieved a ridiculous Minnie Mouse backpack, handed over a handkerchief I didn’t care about losing, and tossed in a cheap pack of fruit candies to buy myself an exit without having to stress myself on how to comfort her. Hindi ko alam kung paano. Hindi rin naman kami close para mag-effort ako na patahanin siya. I did what I did because I despised bullies who used their family titles as leverage, not because I was looking to play the hero for the new scholarship kid. I expected things to go back to normal by the next morning. Except, normal things didn't happened. It started the very next day during second period. Mr. Reyes was discussing E

  • Working as a Maid for the Billionaire   Chapter 61

    Dahan-dahan akong umupo sa gilid ng kama, at fear of height yata ang naramdaman ko noong makita ko ang layo ng sahig mula sa kutson. Parang kailangan ko pa ng elevator para lang makababa nang ligtas. Ang mga tuhod ko, kung may sarili lang silang boses, malamang ay nagmumura na sa akin ngayon dahil

    Halos mag-split ako sa tuwa habang tinatahak ang daan patungong labanderya. Pagdating ko doon, nadatnan ko ang tatlong iba pang maid na abala sa pagtitiklop at pag-aayos ng mga telang puting-puti.“Uy, ang bagong salta!” bati ng isang morenang babae na may name tag na ‘Gina’. “Si Sir Lucas ba ang

    Hindi ko maitago ang saya ko habang naglalakad pauwi. Halos liparin ko ang daan patungo sa aming bahay. Pagpasok ko palang, bumungad na agad si Nanay na naghihiwa ng kangkong habang si Lola naman ay nakasandal sa aming upuang kawayan.“Nay! Lola! May trabaho na ako!” malakas kong sigaw na halos ika
