Chapter 10 Life of a maid

At the Taylor's residence

The following morning,Zara was up so early discharging her duties so diligently,she cleaned everywhere that it was sparkling clean,

She was so busy with cleaning the hall that she didn't notice that ma'am Susan was standing behind her, she was impressed by how she discharges her duties

You work with so much diligent my dear,am impressed ma'am Susan said

Oh good morning ma, how are you doing??she said

Am fine my dear, sorry I didn't mean to startled you,she said

Thank you so much ma,it's my job to make everything sparkling clean and neat,

It's fine my dear, but please I have one question to ask you, hope you don't mind me asking,

No ma'am, please go ahead you can ask me anything,Zara said politely,

It's nothing serious I was just wondering, why did you take up this job, you are such a beautiful young lady,

why will you choose to be a house keeper, don't you have dreams, you would like to fulfill,

Well I do have dreams and aspirations that I want to achieve but at the moment I have to do this job, because am in desperate need of money for my brother's hospital bills,

He is diagnosed with leukemia and the treatment for it is very expensive,that's the only reason why I took on this job, his life is very important to me, because he is the only family I have left,Zara said

Oh my dear,am so sorry for everything you are going through, you are such a brave young lady

Who is willing to do everything for her brother,am so proud of you dear,if you need any assistance on anything please don't hesitate to call me ma'am Susan said

Am so grateful to you ma,thank you for welcoming me with open hands,I really appreciate

It's okay my dear,you don't have to say thank you, please go and call Edward for breakfast,

She said, making her to start panicking

Me!!! Ma'am please I can't go to his room, please ma do not send me to him, she said feeling so scared

You don't have to be scared Edward is not a bad person, don't be scared just go to his room,

Okay ma'am she said and left quietly

Zara knocked softly on the door,her heart raced so much, she was filled with fear after a while he responded and asking her to enter

Slowly entering the luxurious master's bedroom her eyes scanned the room, she was stunned by the artwork on the walls,a lavish four poster bed,she was lost in thought when he suddenly barked at her so rudely,

Snapping her out of her thoughts,she trembled at the sound of his voice,

What are you doing here, why are in my room are you here to work or to steal from me he snapped at her,

No!! am,so sorry master,she said trembling with fear,I was sent by your mother to call you for breakfast she said bowing her head,

Ok you can leave now tell her that I will there shortly,he said

Yes master,she replied running off immediately,

At the breakfast table

The dinning table was a true masterpiece crafted from rare, exotic woods,it's surface was adorned with intricate in lays of silver,

The table's sleek, polished finish reflected the soft glow of crystal chandelier above,

The chair's upholstered in plush velvet, complemented the table's refined aesthetic,

Fine china, crafted by luxury brands adorned the table, paired with sterling silver flat ware and crystal glassware,

Susan was already sitted at the luxurious dining table waiting for her son,Come son let's eat,she said

Good morning mother, how are you doing mom, hope you slept well he asked

Yes son,am fine son,I slept like a baby, come on let's eat,

Mmmmm this is so good mom, you are such a good cook he said,

No my dear, I was not the one that made this food, it was made by Zara our new house keeper,she is such a good cook,she said

Alright mom am already full,I have to go,I have a lot of work to do mom,I will see you later he said leaving the dinning table.

On his way to his study,his phone rang he pulled it out, glancing at screen,he hesitated before picking it up

Am so sorry babe, please forgive me I realized that I made a mistake last night, I didn't mean to be so rude to Maria, I was just saying what came to my mind, without realizing it,please forgive me babe Lisa said at the other end of the phone, pretending to be sobbing over the phone.

It's fine, you don't have to say sorry, just don't don't let what happened last night repeat it's self,you really embarrassed me you know that I hate apologizing and because of you I had to apologize to Oscar and in public he said angrily

Am so sorry babe and I promise babe,it won't happen again,I promise that I will be a lot nicer to people, please forgive me Lisa said, pretending to be crying

Feeling irritated by what Lisa was saying he cut in rudely,it's fine, and stop with your emotional drama,he said rudely and one more thing Lisa, I have lots of work to do he said I will call you later,he said disconnecting the call immediately,

Did he believe everything you said, Raymond who was sitting beside Lisa said,

I think he did, he had to believe every word I said, giving that I was pretending to cry over the phone, but he replied me so rudely as usual,he is the most arrogant people I have known she said

It's fine babe you don't have to be so worked up, and one more thing just try to be a little nice and compassionate when you are with him,that would remove every doubt from his mind,

and soon enough we will accomplish our mission,we will relocate from here and go so far away from here, don't give up now he said to her,

With you here with me, I will never lose hope babe,Lisa said giving him a French kiss on the lips,
