Get Out Of My Sight

"I'm looking at her necklace," Alex replied.

Loveth stood up in anger and put her hand on the necklace and dragged it. Her dragged detached necklace and the pendant was in her hand.

"If it is the necklace you are looking at, then I will better remove the necklace from her neck."

Alex became angry. He stood up and left the dining table. Elisa could not challenge the surprising action of her mistress. She stood helplessly as she looked at Loveth holding the pendant of her necklace.

"Please give me the pendant. It was given to me by my mum. Please," she cried out.

"If this is what you want to use to seduce my fiance, then you have failed. He has nothing to do with you. You brat." She spoke to her face.

"I never wanted to do what you are thinking of, please give me my pendant." Elisa stretched her right hand towards Loveth.

"Get out of my sight, now," Loveth shouted. "What are you going to do? Fight me? Get your flirting hands away from my sight. Rubbish. See what you caused. Your cheap seduction has let my darling walk away from the dining table."

"Please, I'm just a maid, trying to raise money for my sick mom. Why will I do that?" Elisa cried out for help again.

Loveth's action and Elisa's sorrowful voice provoked Alex who was already close to the entrance door and he turned back. He could not without the embracement and intimidation Elisa was passing through and he walked back.

"What do you think you are doing? This is too much Loveth." He went closer to Loveth and held her left hand and quickly took his engagement ring from her hand.

"I can't tolerate this kind of behavior from you. Fortunately, we are not married."

Loveth was shocked. She had never expected this to happen or imagined that Alex would take off his engagement ring.

"What's this? Can't I look at anything of my choice?" Alex asked in annoyance.

"Please Alex," she begged. "It's not what you are thinking. Please." She turned and quickly gave Elisa the pendant and faced Alex again.

"I'm so sorry, please. Alex. I love you so much, that's why I'm very jealous. It wasn't my fault, please," her authoritative voice left her and she tried to clinged to Alex as he was making his way closer to Elisa.

"Leave my way. Don't border me." He raised his face towards Elisa.

"Elisa, come, let's go to my chamber. I will help you fix the necklace."

Elisa couldn't believe her eyes. At first, she was afraid to go with Alex.

"I said come with me, let me fix your necklace." He said and Loveth turned and looked at Elisa as she slowly took her step and walked closer to Alex.

"Where is the necklace and the pendant?" He asked.

Elisa handed over the pendant and the necklace to him.

"Follow me," he walked in the direction of the lift. Elisa followed her and the entire place was quiet.

"You will regret this with this stupid maid," she thought as she looked at them walking away.

Alex and Elisa entered the lift and the lift passed the floor of his bedroom and went upward and stopped at the fifth floor. Alex held her hand and they walked out of the lift. Alex led her and they entered one of the rooms. Alex placed the necklace on the table and he brought out a box. In the box, there were many instruments. First, he arranged the necklace and plugged the instrument to the electric current. When the tip of the instrument became very hot, he used it to join the necklace together.

Elisa was looking at him and his heart was still beating.

"What will happen after he has gone to work?" She thought and she could picture the face of Loveth.

"I guess you valued this necklace," Alex said as he raised the necklace to her eyes. Those words shocked Elisa.

"What are you thinking?" Alex asked as he knew her mind was far afar. She smiled sheepishly, trying to gain herself.

"I was thinking about this necklace and the circumstances why she gave it to me. It has a special connection between me and my mum. Whenever I look at it or feel it on my neck, it tells me how close and dear my mom is to me despite being miles away."

Alex stood up and and took a step closer and said,

"Loveth has no authority to drag your necklace from your neck."

"But Sir, I'm just a maid." She interrupted. "I have nothing against her." She looked at the floor again.

"A maid is a human being. A maid has feelings and today is the day I have been waiting for."

"How Sir?"

"I have been waiting for this day since the second time I set my eyes on you. There is a secret place in my life. Which is my secret art gallery." As he walked closer to Elisa, Elisa looked tense and walked backward.

"Don't be afraid. This place I have promised myself I will only show it to the love of my life."

"Me?" She touched her chest. "The love of your life? No, no. I'm a maid Sir."

"I want you to close your eyes and give me your hand."

When she heard the closing of eyes, her mind flashed to how Douglas took her away that evening. The flash back was so clear that she saw Douglas blindfolding her eyes.

"No… no. I can't do this Sir. I'm afraid."

"Afraid of what?"

"Sir, I'm afraid of everything."

Alex walked away and she was in the middle of the room.

"You have sold my heart with your beauty and attitude and someone like you should not be a maid. Trust me, what happened some minutes ago will never happen again. I promise you. Come with me and close your eyes. The only person that I fall in love with, will be the first to see this place. Don't be afraid. I will never hurt you. I promise!"
