Chapter 2

She gets to her destination and approaches a high rise building. A security guard asks her who she’s looking for “i’m looking for a Mr Paul?” and the security guard gives her an incredulous look so she steps away to dial the number that called her earlier.

“Hello, i am here at the client’s house but security won’t let me in” she says “okay, i’ll talk to them” he says and hangs up. The security guard goes to answer the telephone in his office by the gate and after a while he walks out to open the gate for Ria.

Ria looks up as she tries to count how many storeys the high rise building is and she nearly bumps into a wall. She’s in awe at the magnificent high rise building. “If it is this beautiful on the outside. How will it look on the inside?” she asks herself.

Her phone starts ringing and she sees it’s Mr Paul calling her “Hello” she answers “walk into the reception i’m right there” he says “okay” she says as she makes her way to the reception of the building “are you wearing a pink flower patterned dress?” he asks her “yes i am” she says as she looks at her dress again to make sure she’s right. She stops when she sees a tall, broad chested and very handsome looking man.

“You must be Mr Paul” she says “yes i am” he says as he offers her a handshake which she takes. “Follow me” he says as he walks her to the elevator “i must warn you about the job you’re about to start” he says breaking the silence in the elevator and Ria is alert “your client isn’t like any other client and he’s not like other people too.” he says “how?” Ria asks Mr Paul “he’s let’s say not really your normal guy out there” he says which still didn’t make any sense to Ria “i’ll advise you are patient, and understanding with him” Mr Paul says. Ria’s heart skips she wonders what kind of patient she’ll be working with. “Okay” she says with a smile “okay”Mr Paul says.

He leads her to a door and uses a card and then the door opens “get out!!!” she hears a very deep voice yell and she nearly squeaks in fear and doesn’t know when she goes to hide behind Mr Paul “Liam, you really should calm down” Paul says as he walks into the living room with a scared Ria tailing behind him. Ria wonders who the beast is that has such a deep and scary voice only for her to see an extremely handsome young guy who’s maybe a few years older than her and her breath catches in her throat as she stares at the young man sitting on a sofa with his hand in a cast and his legs hanging.

“People around here just can’t do their work, bunch of incompetent fools!” he yells again. Mr Paul sighs as he looks at Liam. “what?” Liam asks “i’m not wrong” he says with gritted teeth. “You need to take it easy with your domestic workers and people in general” Paul advises Liam “yeah, so that they can take it for granted and over run me? Hell no!” he says, still not noticing a pale looking Ria. Paul shakes his head at Liam.

Liam finally notices Ria “who’s this?” he asks her as he takes in her appearance from head to toe and Ria just stares at him unblinking. Liam turns to look at Paul “what’s this?” he asks, referring to Ria and then turns back to her “look, are you dumb, deaf or simply stupid?” he asks her, visibly irritated.
