Chapter 4 - Hiding faces!

Sleeping in my room, I was deep in my dream.

Smiling in my sleep as if I have no worries. Suddenly I heard a knock on my door waking me up from my beautiful sleep!

I slowly walked towards my door, and stood there holding the door's knob, "who is it?" I asked with a soft tone Instead of a normal answer, I got to hear the sarcasm

"the one who wasted your food!" Kevin Taylor was standing outside, but just as he used sarcasm in his words, I used sarcasm in my actions, so I didn't open the door for him!

I may be his maid now, but that doesn't mean he can show me tantrums, even Laura never did this to me, Laura is my favorite servant lady.

I was standing inside the door, and he was standing outside, The Door was the only barrier between us, but still, we could hear each other voices. So I asked him again "What do you want?" After my question, there was only silence as if even he didn't know the answer, but then he replied after a minute. He spoke in his deep voice "You're not going to open the door?" He seemed desperate to see my face, not to lie I was too!

Because this was my second day at his house, and we still haven't crossed paths with each other. Talking through the notes was our only interaction, and now when he is standing at my door, I wasn't opening it for my anger issues or you can say I was afraid that he might as well know my father like Peter's Dad!

I told him he can talk to me like this, opening the door is out of the question as I am a lady, and it's mannerless to open a door for a man in the middle of the night!

He laughed, but that laugh was again sarcastic as if he found my words funny and meaningless. "Okay! Miss. Lady, I read your note, and as a maid, you shouldn't be angry with your boss, I didn't fire you for your burnt food, but that doesn't mean you will get away every time!" Rude again!

what does he think of himself, maids have the right to be angry like others, I said with anger in my tongue!

The silence was again filled in the air, maybe because he was already gone,

I slightly opened the door to peek through it, the coast was clear, so I came out of my room for a short moment, just when I was looking on the left side of the corridor, I felt a strong presence on my right. I was about to turn my face, but then a slight force pushed me near the wall. That force was Kevin, he didn't leave, it was a trap!

Standing behind me, he locked my hands gently, his grip on my hands was soft which gave me a hint that he wasn't trying to hurt me, he just wanted some answers for me, My back was facing him whereas my face was to the wall.

"Let's not look at each other as you wanted Miss Lady!" He made fun of my words, and it was more frustrating that he was standing behind me because I wasn't okay with him seeing my back especially when I was only wearing the innerwears!

Dad always mentioned, never let a guy get close to you.

It's not like I wasn't able to push him, it's more like I was hiding my face!

My small body was frozen against his masculine chest!

"When will you leave?" Hearing this, he brought his face closer to my ear and said

" I don't like it when people show their anger on me or try to control me, you're getting on my nerves, miss Lady!" His voice was demanding, and his actions were speaking of his cruel nature. Seeing this side of him made me freeze there as if I was short on words!

"I want to fire you, but I guess you got lucky. My special guests are coming tomorrow night, and I hope you will prepare everything accordingly because this is the only reason I am letting you go today!" Saying this, he loosened his grip on my hands and left.

As he was walking toward his room, I was able to hear the sound of his boots going distant, distant, and distant

But for some reason I was still there facing the wall, finding it hard to turn my face!

This was our first encounter in person, and we still didn't see each other's faces, also this was the first time when a guy was standing this close to me!

I never had a boyfriend neither I had any male friends, the only male

I have ever known is my "Dad" who restricted every other male figure to enter my life!

As I came back to my senses and calmed myself down, I realized this was nothing, and the next problem will be tomorrow night!

All my life I have admired parties from a distance that my father used to have, but never in my life I have prepared one!

There was no way out of this, either I should tell him the truth or just quit my job!

But if I quit here, I'll be homeless and probably can go to prison as well because that was the deal I signed with Peter, who cared a little too much about his best friend.

I ran from home because I do not wish to get married out of business,

I want to fall in love, and have my fairy tale but coming out to the real world hit me hard on my face. The real world is scarier, and it's hard to survive especially when all you need is "money".

Though I was born rich, I always craved a simple life, and that is why I vowed to not give up, I will try my best towards my dream life.

A happy married life with a prince charming.

So I decided to prepare for Mr. Grumpy's party!

And I was determined to make him remember this party for the rest of his life!
