Chapter 1 An Unexpected Encounter

CHAPTER 1:

Reginald "Reg" Thompson, CEO of Thompson Industries, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of his high-rise office, gazing out at the breathtaking city skyline. The sun was setting, casting a warm orange glow over the towering skyscrapers and bustling streets below. Reg's mind, however, was preoccupied with the upcoming merger that would make his company a global leader.

As he stood there, lost in thought, his assistant, Mrs. Jenkins, knocked on the door. "Reg, your new maid, Maria, has arrived. She'll be taking care of your penthouse apartment from now on."

Reg turned to face Mrs. Jenkins, his eyes narrowing slightly. "I don't remember asking for a new maid," he said, his deep voice firm but controlled.

Mrs. Jenkins smiled warmly. "You've been busy, Reg. I took the liberty of hiring someone new. Maria comes highly recommended. She's experienced, efficient, and discreet."

Reg raised an eyebrow, intrigued despite himself. "I see," he said, his gaze drifting back to the window. "Send her in."

Mrs. Jenkins nodded and escorted Maria into the office. Reg's eyes flickered to the young woman, taking in her petite frame, dark hair, and expressive brown eyes. Maria curtsied slightly, her eyes cast downward. "Hello, Mr. Thompson. I'm honored to be working for you."

Reg's gaze lingered on Maria's face, and for a moment, he felt a spark of curiosity. Who was this young woman, and what was her story? He pushed the feeling aside, focusing on the task at hand. "Welcome, Maria. I expect you to maintain the highest standards of cleanliness and discretion. You'll be working independently, as I value my privacy."

Maria nodded, her eyes still cast downward. "Yes, sir. I understand."
