Chapter 2 A blooming relationship

For someone who had zero to no experience with the male gender, Makayla was shocked after finally seeing Lucas's bare chest.

It seemed to be a traumatic experience for Makayla seeing Lucas most times with no shirt on. Before even seeing him, Makayla had no idea that she could have a specific taste in men.

Lucas was a tall man, not tall and lanky, but tall with enough bulk, enough to make your mouth water. He had beautifully tanned skin and nice ridges lining his chest and abdomen, the eight-packed body drew Makayla's attention every time.

It was pure torture just seeing the perfectly molded body walking around the house in plain joggers hanging loosely on his hips.

When Makayla had started work, of course, she wasn't the only person working in the mansion that big, there were other staffs like the gardeners, security guards, and the cleaners who cleaned most things around the house, majorly all she did was cook.

One day when Makayla was cooking for the boss, it was late and this time around the boss was rolling in the sheets with a redhead. There was a pang of jealousy in Makayla's heart just knowing what was next, either way, she decided to cook for the boss, as he was mostly drained after the activity.

The redhead must have been feeling very entitled as she strutted to the kitchen wearing the shirt the boss had worn before entering the room. The woman was feeling entitled because no woman had dared to do such.

"Hey you, what are you cooking for dinner", the read head asked with hostility, Makayla turned to see who was talking, earlier when they had passed, she wasn't able to see her face clearly, but now that she saw her, she looked like a life-size doll, she couldn't deny, the redhead was pretty. Makayla thought slightly, 'she's so damn fine, I wonder if I even stand a chance.

The redhead must have thought that she was one of those other maids who could be trampled upon by their boss's pastime. " Well, I'm cooking for the boss, if they didn't tell you sooner, your sorry ass is gonna need to leave now, ohh they still gotta pay you. Don't think 'cause you lay with the boss you have special privileges!".

Makayla's statement pissed the redhead off, she breathed sharply in anger, "you bitch, you must be hallucinating, Lucas doesn't need to pay me because I'm already his girlfriend!", she said feeling entitled.

Clicking her tongue, Makayla replied," well, guess they didn't break it to you right?, well lemme tell you, your just another one, I've seen many of your kind walk through this same corridor all in one day. Also, some guards are going to drop you off!".

That seemed to piss the redhead off before she opened her mouth in an attempt to yell at Makayla, however before she could even shout at her, a cold voice which Makayla recognized as that of Lucas said, "Get your payment from Craig, put on your clothes and leave!".

That seemed to do the trick as the redhead looked at Lucas unable to believe what he said, also right in front of the maid she desperately wanted to prove wrong. Makayla chuckled slightly before she met the cold eyes of the boss for a brief moment.

She stopped laughing immediately after they maintained eye contact for a couple of minutes, that was the first time ever that Makayla had a chance to look into the boss's eyes. It was then she noticed that the boss had blue orbs, that was the first time Lucas had truly looked at her.

Lucas wasn't stunned like Makayla, he just grunted and walked to the stairs, this time heading for the master bedroom to freshen up. Some guards were there soon after to take the redhead out of the house.

She served the boss his dinner, which he ate very little out of before he headed out, this time he was going for his night jogs around the house

Over the days that followed, there seemed to be more people coming to stay at the mansion, cleaners for inside the mansion, Pearl and Craig. Makayla was glad they came to her assistance because she was frustrated just cleaning the house. The Mansion was very big, with several wings.

Just cleaning one wing was tedious as it is and she needed to do it often because you never knew when visitors would come.

Pearl had come before Craig and after the house cleaners came around, she was Lucas's younger sister and she made sure a lot of things were in order in the house, she literally acted like his housewife

Pearl had encouraged Makayla to be more free whenever she was around her, and since then Makayla and Pearl had had normal conversations, the same way sisters would, and this amazed the other Cleaners.

"It's the time of the year", Pearl had answered Makayla, " What time of the year?", Makayla asked feeling confused already. "Our father 's annual anniversary!, it's the time we all come together, even my mom, she's going to be here tomorrow, so we can celebrate dad." Pearl said catching Makayla off guard.

"It's a tough time for Lucas, because he really lived dad when he was still alive, that's why he's like this, cold and preferring his silence above everything!". The piece of information was a surprise to Makayla, she didn't even know they had a mother.

Lucas who in question had been having a hard time because it was the time of the year, he had been called by his mother several times over the last few days, the kind woman urging him to be strong , as he normally felt too emotional.

However, this year was quite different, instead of grieving time and time again, he was distracted by the maid his sister had employed to clean the mansion.

The day the red head had started a fight which she thought he was unaware of had made him realize somethings, the maid he thought was a meek person was actually a spitfire. The small time he spent standing In the shadows, he had had a good view of the beautiful maid, awestruck even to find such a beautiful lady be so plain.

***

Im so sorry but I made a very big mistake, the male lead's name is actually Thomas, so anywhere you see Lucas, I meant Thomas. It will be corrected in the next chapter.
