NEXT MORNING.

The rays of the sunlight that shone on my face gave me the feeling that it was daylight already including the chirping sound of the birds, I stretched my legs and y hands before opening my eyes slowly, the fragrance of the room can make someone sleep for two days- enjoying the scent of.

How I wish I can remain sleeping in the room, I don't have a job, though I could have loved to visit my brother Octavia's rules have bound me from visiting my brother.

After I'm sure my hands and legs are both strengthened, I opened my eyes widely smiling as I stared around the room, it bounced on me that the jerk blanket is on my body, I directed my gaze to the bed, and I met Octavia's absence on the bed.

"Where has he gone to, this early morning?" I asked myself rhetorical questions. I'm about to get down from the couch when the room door slammed open, and he came in.

He let out an evil smirk as he entered "Good morning" I muttered, with my head lowered.

"Good morning, can you explain the reason why my blanket is on your body and not mine " Octavia sounded serious?

"You gave it to me during midnight, you saw me shivering and you gave it to me, but you are nodding off in the process though," I said to him, trying with my body reaction to convince him.

"Liar," My subconscious said, which I shun her.

"Ohhhhhhhh" he hummed.

I removed the blanket and folded it, about to give it back to him, "Go and wash it, including the bed sheet on my bed and the ones I gave to you yesterday, I don't like using a washing machine to wash my bed sheet, it worn it out so I prefer, you use a hand, Also I want you to iron a shirt for me, the one I will wear today, is a little bit squeezed"He said to me in a commanding tone.

I'm a not slave or his housemaid, we are business partners and he should treat me as one.

"Don't forget, you are helping Ronnie out in discharging her duties, while she attends to your brother" He said like he was reading my mind.

"Whatever" I muttered.

"And I think it is time to go and prepare breakfast, my parents will soon come out of the room to have their breakfast" he added, I didn't bother to reply to him, I want to go and clean my face afterward I will go and cook but he stopped me from going into his bathroom.

"Please, use Ronnie's bathroom, and clean yourself before you go into the kitchen and repeat it after cooking. My mother hates dirtiest" he said confidently like I am dirty.

"And I don't think I'm dirty Mr neat," I said with an angry tone.

He smiles slightly.

"I'm not saying you are dirty,, I'm only guiding you to be clean. Wear nice clothes to breakfast, my parents will know your family standard through your dressing, and try to look at me occasionally at the dining, it will convince my parents that we are in love, " Octavia said.

"In love, my foot", I muttered inwardly.

"But " Octavia interrupted me.

"No, but, I gave you the rules to read before you signed, I don't want complains Abide with the rules and make your job easier''

Reminding me of the rules I signed always- the rules that I didn't read, I just signed that day, I hope there are no nasty things in the contract, I hope there is no sex making in the rules, I can't lose my virginity to this Jerk, I will have to search for the contract whenever he is not in. I can't possibly wait for him to tell me another rule, I'm not aware of.

Exiting the room, leaving him working on his laptop, I strode to Ronnie's room to have my bath, I was about to open Ronnie's door when I noticed a gaze in the kitchen, I tiptoe to the kitchen, trying not to create sounds, and I met Octavia mother sitting on the kitchen slab, drinking tea with hotdogs in her hands.

" How did she manage to get hotdogs in her hand this early morning, I thought Octavia said she didn't like food, why this early morning food then?" I asked myself.

Though I wanted to ignore her, to have my bath whereas come back to cook- she sighted me and waved her hands towards me.

"Good morning ma" I greeted her with my lowered head, as I come closer to her.

"Morning my darling, you must be shocked seeing me with food this early morning," she said, looking at my face intently.

"Hmmm" I hummed

"I'm right then, you didn't expect to see me with food. I'm very hungry this morning, maybe it was because I slept off without eating last night, so I ordered hotdogs online, I know where they sell hotdogs in the morning" she said while I nodded my head.

Her words are not convincing enough for me, is Octavia lying or Ronnie or his mother lying, I was told they are based in the USA while Octavia is the only one based in France, how come she knew where they are selling hot dogs.

I will find out the truth later since I Love unveiling the truth.

"Okay, ma" am", hope you enjoy the hot dogs, "I asked her.

"Yes- I would want you to call me mother, I will love it than ma" am," she said to me, which I found absurd, it has been a long I called anyone mummy and I don't plan to do it in the years come.

"Okay ma" I replied and rolled my eyebrows, I just did what she asked me not to do.

" Don't worry, I didn't ask you to start now, I want to know your mother likewise, and I will want to know about your family, your background, the country where you schooled everything about you. Though I know you came from a good home" She said smiling.

"I just believe Octavia now, when he said his mother hates the poor, I just understand what he meant. His mother is good and nice but with her recent question, I doubt if she can allow someone like me to marry his son"

"No problem ma" am, if you would excuse me, I want to take my bath, and afterward cook so that you can have your breakfast"

I left her and go into Ronnie's fancy bathroom to have my bath, I wish to call the doctor to know if my brother is awake- There is no phone to call, Octavia had collected my worn-out phone yet I didn't collect his new phone. I prefer not having a phone to allowing the jerk to control my life with his expensive material things.

Though Collecting Octavia's phone will be the best solution to the issue at hand- I went into the bathroom, I slipped into the bathtub after I switch on the tapping water, descending on my body. I love everything about the house, the house is good but the owner is a jerk.

After a few minutes of my stay inside the bathroom, I came out and change my dress, and headed to the kitchen.

My gaze landed on the aprons inside the kitchen, I wore them and switch on the gas cooker, I poured little water inside a pot and placed on the light.

In the process of the food preparation, an idea on how to get revenge on Octavia popped out my head, I rushed with the food, and I don't want him to miss the food.

A smirk was seen on my face, I felt excited knowing I would take my revenge today

After a few minutes of staying in the kitchen, I walked out after dishing the food inside the cooler, I carried the cooler and went to drop it on the dining table, and placed the serving plates beside it.

I prepared Fried Egg and plantains, everything looked good and attractive.

In anticipation, I await the look Octavia will have as I unveil my surprise to him.

I parked some of the food inside a separate plate and went outside to give the security, I want to thank him for what he did for me yesterday, if not for him I might not have been able to introduce myself as Octavia's girlfriend and his secretary would have his way.

On getting to his post, I saw him watery the flowers.

"well done," I said cheerfully.

"Thank you," he said and dropped the bucket he was using to wet the flowers and come closer to me.

"What did we have here?" he said referring to the food in my hands"

He must love food, with the way he licked his lips -sighting the food in my hands.

I stretched the food to him, which he collected joyfully, he opened the food and perceived the scent.

"You are a good cook, the aroma is enough for me to know that the food will taste sweet just like you," He said smiling.

"And you must have tasted how sweet she was, for you to know that" A voice let out at our back, both of us shared a gaze and looked in the direction the voice came from.
