Chapter 8 ✨

•••^•••^•••^•••

I hesitated for seconds before walking into the compound.

Twas as quiet as usual so I just walked straight to the door.

I made to ring the doorbell but the door opened itself.

Not something new.

I rolled my luggage in and there he sat, legs crossed and head tilted one side.

I ignored the smile Neil threw at me cause I didn’t wanna get into trouble.

“Tsk! You didn’t have to bring your bag along since the only thing you’d be wearing is a maid uniform ” he blurted out.

Seriously? There’s also a uniform? Like I don’t get to choose what to wear? Damn!

“sorry ” I forced out.

“Neil will bring you the rules of this house and the maid rules ”

Blah blah blah…

“Are you listening?! ” he snapped at me and I flinched.

Gosh! What was he saying?

He snapped his fingers at Neil and he came forward.

He took my luggage and esc-rted me outta his (McKenzie) sight.

“where are you taking me? ” I asked Neil.

“to your room “he replied and my heart skipped.

Please let it not be that shabby room.

My heart kept pounding hærd in my chest as we went the same direction as the shabby room.

“here’s your room ” he stopped in front of a door and I heaved a sigh of relief.

Thank God! At least it’s not that shabby room.

He opened the door and we walked in.

My mouth dropped open and Neil just chuckled and helped me closed my mouth.

“This is a maid room fr? ” I asked Neil, rummaging round the bed room.

If this is a maid’s room then I don’t might work here for the rest of my life.

I mean this is like our wh0le house.

Just kidding! But fr, it’s so big like a full house.

Beautiful white decorations, grey bed sheet and blanket.

Grey walls and rug, a table with a mirror.

“yes it is ” Neil replied and I just kept admiring everywhere.

“This is just a maid’s room you’ve seen and you acting like this, wait till you see the main rooms and the Master’s bedroom, you gon land in coma ” he teased and I chuckled.

“Thanks ” I told him, for helping me with my bag and for being nice to me, I guess.

“Sure! Call on me if you need anything ” he told me and I just smiled and nodded at him.

He flashed me a cute smile, revealing a dimple on his left cheek before walking out.

I locked the door after he left and just came back to admiring my room.

I plumped down on the bed and it bounced me back up.

Oh wow! So soft compared to mine.

This is luxury!

I laid on my back on the bed and just enjoyed the moment.

…………………………………………………………….

Knocks! Knocks came on the door and it took some secs for me to get myself.

I’d fallen asleep on the soft bed and I don’t even know for how long they’ve been knocking.

I unlocked the door and slowly opened it, taking a peek at who was knocking.

I heaved a sigh of relief when I saw twas Neil.

I let him in and he just stared at me.

“what ” I asked.

“I’ve been knocking for God knows how long and I’m just so surprised you aren’t ready yet ” he snarled at me.

OK this is new. He’s been so cool like since I’ve seen him and now he just went all mad?

So the boss gets to yell and say shit to me and so do the guards?

I should’ve known he was just pretending! They’re all the same!

“Uh…get ready for what ” I said in a low tone.

He looked at me, his eyes soft now prolly feeling guilty for the way he talked to me.

Another act coming up!

“I’m sorry ” he apologized.

“uhm it’s OK ” I told him.

Ain’t buying this! He just revealed his true colors mins ago and now he wants to pretend.

“you sure ” he asked and I rolled my eyes.

“just tell me what you’re here for and what should I have been ready for? ” I asked sternly then sighed.

“you’re mad ” he said and that just made things more complicated for me.

“you should’ve been already dressed in your uniform and I came here to inform you that the master wants you to prepare his lunch ” he blurted out.

OK bummer! Didn’t expect I’d just start immediately.

And bummer again cause I don’t know how to cook.

Wait? What’s the work of a maid again?

Clean the house, go on errands and cook! I’m not qualified for the last one but I thought 2/3 was a good mark.

“OK thanks but where is the uniform ” I asked and he chuckled.

“they’re in your closet, you need contacts or something? ” he asked sarcastically and I just glared and went over to the closet.

“How would I’ve known when I haven’t checked out the closet yet? ” I fired back at him.

“seriously? Then what have you been doing? ” he asked.

I opened the closet and brought out the uniform.

Twas a black gown with a white clothe like apron in front of it that will fit just above my knees.

“Sleeping ” I replied to Neil.

He laughed out and that only made me upset more.

“lemme guess, you didn’t check out the shower and bathtub and the wh0le bathroom out ” he teased and laughed.

I glared at him and went into my bathroom to change.

I slammed the bathroom door so hærd Neil must have flinched.

I changed into the uniform and it fit quite well.

I took the chance to look around my bathroom and I would’ve daydreamed here but I want no trouble.

There was a shower and a bathtub, a very classy mirror with white light which made everywhere shiny.

“You fell asleep in there or should I come carry you out princess ” Neil said from the bedroom.

“so funny! ” I yelled from the bathroom.

I walked to the door and jerked it open causing Neil to fall forward.

“Damn! You didn’t have to be so aggressive with the door ” he pouted, getting up.

“let’s go ” I said and made to walk out but he dragged me back.

“what the hell!!”

“Allie ” he called softly and that kinda make me cool for a while.

“I know you’re upset wimme cause I kinda snapped at ya but trust me, I didn’t want to. I just got upset cause master asked me to bring you but I spent minutes knocking on your door and I knew you’d get punished if master had found out you were taking so much time to open the door or come out so I just kinda freaked, I’m sorry ” he explained and I just… I don’t know.

He was upset cause he knew I’d get punished and he didn’t want that so he just freaked out at me.

He was just worried about me and I’m here, being stupid as always.

“I.. I don’t know what to say ” I said, almost in a whisper and bowed my head.

He held my chin up and smiled at me.

“you don’t have to” he said softly.

“come let’s go, I’ll cover up for you ” he said and I smiled.

We walked out and getting closer to the sitting room, my heart started racing.

Standing in the presence of him makes me so nervous and scared.

“what took you so long ?” he asked calmly.

Calmness comes before the storm.

My heart raced faster as we stood in front of him.

“It was my fault master, I received a call from my mom so it delayed the errand I was sent ” Neil said with his head bowed.

“you know very well that I welcome no excuses and no delay in my job ” he seethed.

With the stern look on his face and how he spoke, my heart almost dropped.

“make him serve his punishment ” he told another guard and he took Neil away.

Buh.. Twas my fault.

At the mention of punishment, tears rolled down my cheek cause I’ve had lil experience of how mean he can be and at the thought of what they’d do to Neil.

He’s gon suffer for my mistake and that’s so not right.

“Need I remind you that you’re a maid and should do your work and not just stand there like some statue? ” he snapped at me.

I bowed and rushed to the kitchen.

I had no idea where the kitchen was but I knew that white door after the dinning room had to be the kitchen.

I tried suppressing my tears but it wouldn’t just stop falling.

Once again, I’ve messed up and gotten Neil into trouble.

Why am I like this? I just hope Neil doesn’t hate me after this.

I heard footsteps coming towards the kitchen so I quickly wiped my tears.

Another of the body guard came in and stood just beside the door.

“Master said you have only 10 mins to prepare his lunch ” he delivered his message and walked out.

10 mins? Just 10 mins?

I have no idea how long it takes to prepare food cause I’m no cook but 10 mins seem too short.

I better start now!

I checked the kitchen for all the food stuffs and ingredients and there were a lot.

A lot that I don’t even know what they’re used to prepare.

I’m just gon make him macaroni and cheese since that seem simple and he’s demanding for a 10 min lunch anyway.

I don’t even have my phone wimme to search how to prepare mac and cheese.

Guess I first have to cook the cheese then add the macaroni then seasonings.

After making the cheese in a pot, I set it on the gas and turned it on.

I let it boil for like 2 mins before switching off the gas and dropping the pot.

Should I per-boil the macaroni first or what?

I’ll just add it in the cheese cause per-boiling it will take a lot of time.

I turned to take a pack of macaroni and accidentally pressed my palm on the hot gas causing me to jump and scre-m in pain.

OMG! mommy! cooking is so hærd.

It hurts so bad and brought tears to my eyes but I had to cook this.

I placed the pot of cheese on the gas after turning it on and added a pack of macaroni.

I added salt, Maggi, oil and I didn’t know what else to add so I just left it to cook.

He said I should be done by 10 mins so I’m gon let the food boil for for 6 mins making 8 mins used then I’ll use 2 mins to dish them.

3 mins now so I checked the food.

Uh.. I think I added too much water so Imma just filter out some water.

I filtered out some water then left it to boil again.

Another 3 more mins and the food was ready!

I don’t know much about cooking but I sure know wealthy people like to see more than one food on their table.

Anyway, I tried my best.

I dished the food and took it to the dinning table.

I went back to the kitchen and got things like plate, cutlery, glass, water and every other thing needed on a dinning table.

He saw me setting the table but still sat down.

He’s prolly waiting for me to come bow to him and tell him lunch is ready.

Tch! I went over to him and told him the food was ready.

“Right on time ” he said and got up.

He took his seat and his expression changed when he saw only one type of food on the table.

His eyes flared up as he stared at me so I just looked down.

I had already started to shake in fear.

“Why only this ?” he asked in that thick husky voice of his.

“I.. Uhm.. You…seemed so hungry so I had to make something quick ” I stuttered.

“hmmm, interesting” he said .

I gently served him, being careful not to make a mistake.

After serving him, I filled the first glass with water then the other one with pineapple juice.

I made to leave but he yelled.

“Don’t you dare!” He yelled and I stopped on my track.

“You’re my maid as well as my slave so you should stand there, watch me eat and when I’m done, you clear the table” He stated clearly and I bowed in response.

As he took his fork and dug it in,side the food I served him, my heart raced.

He took the little quantity of food his fork could grab, put it in,side his mouth only to spit it out.

He reached for the glass of water and gulped it down before staring at me furiously.

His eyes were kinda red , and his hand was folded up in a fist .

I’m dead again!
