Grumpy Boss

Grumpy Boss

"This is your new maid, Diamond Christensen and she will be taking care of you from now on". An old-man introduced the new maid to his only grandson.

He made a serious gaze to his maid and looked at her from head to toe. As he was criticizing it well.

"Don't you have any one else? She's that damn ugly". Said of the fine looking man after observing his new maid and insulted her appearance.

"I have nothing to hire for you. Just accept her besides you will treat her badly as if you really care with the looks of your maid. And she was the youngest maid of all those I hired. Be thankful for that". Replied of his grand father to him.

"But I don't need a maid Cross. I'm already eighteen and I'm independent now. I need my freedom at this age". He grabbed the arms of his grand father and explained his side.

Eighteen? We were in the same age line because I will be turning eighteen this coming month. So I thought, we can be in good terms and we can share common likes but it was not the case because he was not supposed to do that because his my boss and I was just his personal maid. Nothing more, nothing less.

"I only have you as my grand son so I don't want some thing bad will happen to you. I will feel at ease if you have a maid that will only focus and will take care of you. I'm getting older Hans so just be obedient. Okay?" Mr. Robinson made a sympathetic look to his grandson that symbolized an acceptance of his decision.

"All right Cross. As you wished". As he replied to his grand father with regrets written in his face.

Mr. Robinson touched him in his face and seriously looked in his brownish eyes.

"That's my boy". After saying that to him. He made his exit in the door and went back to his room to have some rest.

I was left alone with my boss and he was staring at me fiercely. I just bowed down my head and not got straight to look in his eyes because I was afraid that I might be eaten by a tiger in a wild jungle.

"Are you satisfied that you got to insist to be my maid? Then, you will experience hell in living here. I assure you with that". He threatened with a strong conviction in his voice and walked away outside in his room.

Again, I was sober up and processed what he said to me. Hell? Was there really like that? I thought it was just a vague concept because no one in this world had ever seen that?

My boss had a serious disease regarding with his attitude. He was this grumpy and snobbish. That's what I had observed based on how he treated his grandfather and how he treated me.

I went outside in his room and looked for the head maid in this mansion. I asked her what were the things I needed to do and the sequence of my work as a personal maid of that grumpy man. I needed to do my best in taking care of him so that I can prove myself that I was suited for the job.

This was my first day of work hence I met my boss with those insults and with those grumpy attitude of him. I needed to widen my patience so that I will not easily be kicked out in my job. I needed it badly, so badly that I'm excited to meet him but it turned out to be that scenario that I was not imagining. Maybe this was a kind of reality that I was not expecting.

I combed my hair using my hand and started to kill some fats and burn calories for my job.

It was the start of school for my boss, as a freshman student in the city's university. Most students who attended New Heights University came from sufficient families and some of them were rich. And my boss, was considered to be one because he was the only grandson of Cross Robinson, the richest family in the whole city.

He woke up with all of his greyish hair that messed up, with his eyes were half open and with his slow pace moving. After a few minutes, he stood up in his bed, he took a shower and prepared himself for his first day of school as a freshmen university student.

He wore a blue shirt with a black and white hoody jacket that was unbuttoned with a black skinny pants and a black flat shoes. It was very stylish to look at him because he was really a rich guy and the only grandson of the family of Robinson. He had his brown knap sack bag at the back of him and I felt jealous because he was ready for school.

He sat down in a long brownish maple dining table with the breakfast I served. He stared the food I had prepared and made a serious look towards me.

"What do you think is this?" He asked me with the looks of a tiger. Again, that was the second time when he looked at me with those eyes of him.

"I-It's sausage, scrambled eggs and rice Sir. You're breakfast". I stuttered because I felt nervous and he was staring me like that.

"Are you really doing your job? Where's my cheese in this breakfast?" And he was angry about the fact that I didn't prepared any cheese in his breakfast.

"I'm sorry Sir. I will prepare another breakfast for you with cheese".

"Never mind. I lose my appetite seing your ugliness and foolishness". He said harshly and stood up in his chair.

I was left standing and didn't know how to react after what he said to me. I knew I was at fault but he could be more considerate because I was only a newly hired here. He could just said that he could waited for his breakfast with cheese that he wanted but he said those harsh words and insulted what I look. Of course I am a maid, so for him I am ugly because I am a maid. What a harsh guy he was? I was ugly and fool for him. Let's see, I will proved that I deserved this job.

I went to the kitchen and asked again the head maid of what were the things that my boss wanted to eat during his breakfast, lunch and dinner. Also, I asked about were his favorites and his dislikes. I will try my best to correct my mistake this day but tomorrow I will do everything to impress him and will prove to him that I am not an ugly and a fool-maid.

I saw his back leaving the doors of the mansion and he went to school without eating anything just only because of that cheese.

And I realized that this grumpy boss of mine loved to eat foods with cheese.

After my grumpy boss left the mansion, I entered his room with cleaning tools. Seeing his big room flashed to me that the size of his room was like the size of our house. It was a sky blue with grey in the ceiling. It was interior in a man's taste and he had this california king bed. It was very huge and smooth. A prince could live here because of the priveleges he had in life.

I started to clean his room and I had noticed that there were no pictures of his parents in a shelf I was wiping with dust. I only saw him together with his grand father and I began to form questions out of curiosity in my head. What happened to his parents? Where's his mom? Also his dad?

And I took a deep sigh and realized that he was being like that because he was no parents that took care of him. He was missing the love of his mother and his father. He was raised alone by Mr. Robinson, his grand father and that love was not enough for him. He had developed that attitude because of the absence of his parents as he grew up.

Me, being unprivelege in life but I was made and raised with love of my parents. Even we were poor and my parents had an unstable job still I was proud that I had a complete family that looked for me when I was not feeling well and cheered for me in my downfall and failures.

I felt pity because even how rich you are in the world without the love that formed you will felt still empty and incomplete. That was why, I will try to understand him better than anyone else in this mansion. I will widen my patience and keep supporting him so that he can feel that some one was in his side that he can talk and express his feelings.

I was taught by these values of my parents because even if you were poor as long you had a precious and beautiful heart. It mattered the most in the world.

That child in the picture was full of smiles in his face and he was very happy. But this guy who was my boss right now. I rarely seeing him smiling and he was always frowning and looking me with his daggered-eyes.

I really should know my job as his personal maid in this mansion. I wanted to support him, I wanted to take care of him and I wanted to bring back that smile in his face that was long gone.

I wanted to see that smile the way that child used to smile in that picture. I wanted to see that, so badly. And as his maid, I will do every thing that I can do in order to serve him with all my heart.

And as I began to live in this mansion, I got to know about my boss, about his life and about how he suffered without the love of his parents.

That's definitely, I was feeling.
