Chapter 4 Later that day

Later that day when she had familiarized with the new environment, she was seated under a shade deep in thoughts. Of how Clara and Rubby felt on discovering her disappearance. Did they look for her? What did the culprit who wanted her do? Did he just let it slip like that or?

Back to where she had found a refuge, she felt no fear nor any discomfort, the environment only brought in a feeling of warmth and safety. It made her wonder if this person whom she just ran into is an angel sent by her parents to take care of her...

Everyone there was treating her with kindnesses all throughout a few hours that she'd been in the mansion.

Actually since her dad died she'd never felt this Seren.

The guy had left her under the care of his house manager shortly after they arrived and said to be leaving for an important meeting.

One of the maids came to her and asked her to come and have her lunch at the dining area where the dishes were already served.

Being a lady that has always been the one to prepare and serve others, she felt as if it was not her her but her rebirth in someone's body.

" Okay, I'll be there shortly." She replied politely to the maid with a wide smile and the lady smiled back.

She'd never seen any lady that visited the master being so friendly since. Others even forced them to do other things to them like massage and all those bossy stuffs, but this one was different and most probably special to the boss.

With the way he behaved with her and on top of, he was the one who came with her himself, in his car! The boss that never allows a woman near him, today brought a lady home in his passenger seat!

It was a sight to see, regardless of the lady being a low class by the way he dressed, casually. She must be someone special to him. That's how they thought the moment they learnt of her arrival. But boss being him, he told them nothing apart from, "I'll be back, my guest should be attended to properly"

When Purity got to the table, she was mesmerized to learn that she was the only one served. She kept her eyes glued on the table that was served for ten but no one was present to eat all that food.

She slowly sat and started digging in with what she could be able to take in.

It had been a while since she ate such delicacy, there were grilled fish, chapati you can name them all.

When the maid that called her to eat passed by the room, she called her and asked her to join her but she politely refused saying she's already taken hers so she should enjoy.

" Never mind, am the one that invited you to join me why not it's not as if the food would fight!"

" Thank you ma'am but I can't, "

"Okay, if you say so"

The maid then excused herself and left to run her errands.

"She's quite amazing, very tolarating I hope master gets married to her unlike the classy Sasha that comes here and scold us intentionally to show us how bossy she is" another maid that saw how her colleague interacted with the Miss whispered in her eyes when they got out.

" Yeah, she has a very good heart. And very humble."

The maids kept chatting for sometime before they continued with their chores.

When Purity was full she got up to take the dishes from the dinning table, being a person who had never seen an easy day at home, her hands became itchy from not doing anything all those hours.

" No ma'am, that's my work do not stress yourself out. Let me show you to your room. Their you can take a birth and relax Abit." The same maid came over to stop her from taking the dishes to be done.

' what will I do if boss comes to find his guest doing the chores? ' she was sweating profusely. ' had I not arrived on time, am finished!' she cried inwardly but what Purity said shoked her.

" I did not come for a vacation here dear and by the way just call me Purity, and you? What should I call you?"

" But ma..."

" Purity. Am purity to you. Remember am not your boss so feel free with me. I do not want to cause any tension in here okay?"

The maid eased a little but still refused to fall for temptation. " Am Maryanne but ma.. I mean Purity, you shouldn't do this. It's not necessary for you to help I can manage this plus I have a colleague, we do.." she tried to explain that she wasn't supposed to do anything but Purity firmly took the dishes to the dishwasher and started washing, while trying to engage a conversation with Maryanne to make her feel free.

" Tell me more about you. " She started busying herself

They kept on chatting while doing the dishes and it was soon done

" See, I at least did something today. Sitting and doing nothing all day makes me sick. But now I feel whole again. Whenever you need my aid feel free to call. By the way when will your boss be back? Does he usually take lunch this late?"

" In most cases he doesn't take lunch at home. He rarely have homemade lunch and his coming back no one knows. Let me show you to your room. He instructed me to prepare it for you and also he said you won't leave till he comes" Maryanne spoke to purity and led her upstairs silently.

That part of not leaving left her thinkiyagain. ' I have forgotten all that happened today that I felt am in my own home wahala!' she mocked herself. ' as if I have anywhere to go, I wanna see if he can give me a job even as one of his servants. Am gonna work hard and earn something do that I can go and reclaim my home!' she thought and as they reached the door to her room Maryanne left her to go back and complete other chores.
