* De-villie eatery *
Henry stare awfully at the food he ordered.
" eat and stop staring at the food awfully" Mandy snapped. it's a plate of seonji haejangguk.
" I don't think I can eat this, the aroma alone is choking me" Henry groused.
" stop grumbling because you made the order and I did my job by serving you, so eat up before I loose my cool" Mandy warned.
" you don't speak to me like that, I'll pay for the meal, just take it away" Henry said standing up but Mandy pulled him back on the chair.
" what's the meaning of this?" He glared.
" you're about wasting the food and I detest it when people waste things" Mandy retorted.
" if you wanna eat it, you can go ahead, I'll still foot the bill" Henry said bringing out his card.
" do I look like a hungry bird?" Mandy asked.
" there's no use bickering with you, it's obvious you have a mental problem" Henry cussed standing up again.
" I'm going to show you what it means to be sick in the brain" Mandy ranted carrying the plate and she poured the whole food on his suit.
" Hey!!!" Henry yelled raising his hand to hit her but he stopped himself, while Mandy closed her eyes frightenedly.
* What the heck?*
* She just embarrassed Mr Tyson's Manager*
* She won't be spared* the customers in the restaurant murmured.
Mandy opened her eyes slowly and she saw Henry glaring at her.
' Oh my gosh! I just escaped being slapped' she thought blinking her eyes like a doll.
like flash the entrance door flung opened and some men on black suits rushed in, obviously they are guards.
'are they here for me?' Mandy thought fearfully and when she noticed they are are approaching her, she ran away for her dear life.
" after her" The Chief guard ordered.
" stop!" Henry commanded and the guards obeyed. He turned and stormed out of the restaurant. the guards followed.
* he spared her*
* She better thank her stars*
* I wonder where she got the guts from, pouring food on Mr Tyson's Manager* The customers baffled.
Mandy got to the changing room, breathing fast.
" Gosh! My stubbornness is going to land me in a big trouble some day" she soliloquize.
" Mandy!" Mrs Smith the owner of the restaurant barge into the room looking enraged.
" You don't barge into the changing room like that, were you no taught in your elementary school days to knock before entering rooms , What if I was unclothed?" Mandy asked childishly.
" just shut the trash! and I'd have tear you skin if you were unclothed" Mrs Smith rasped.
" now I know you don't like me" she pouted pretending to be heartbroken.
" enough of your dramas and tell me what was the meaning of the stunt you pulled out there?" Mrs Smith ranted and Mandy stared at her perplexedly
" don't give me that look and answer my question" she yelled.
" it wasn't intentional, the devil used me" Mandy defended.
" do you even know him?" Mrs Smith asked and Mandy shook her head.
" he is Henry Brown, Mr Tyson's Manager. Now you know just imagine your fate, if he comes back for revenge" Mrs Smith scoffed l
and Mandy eyes widened in shock
" I said it, my stubbornness is going to land me in a big trouble someday but II never expected it to be today" Mandy lamented.
" good for you and you better leave my restaurant right this minute, or else there would be fire on the mountain" Mrs Smith threatened.
" are you firing me, like for real?" Mandy asked and Mrs Smith glare at her before walking out of the room.
" I'm doomed, What will I tell Mom, on my first day of work, I got fired. Argh! she won't spare me" she groaned stomping her feet on the floor.
" before I go I must take my salary eventhough it's day one and if she refuse paying me, I'll set this restaurant ablaze" she grinned changing from her uniform to the clothes she came earlier with .
*The kitchen*
" what are you doing here? I remembered firing you" Mrs Smith attacked i'mmediately Mandy entered the kitchen.
" chill Mrs Smith, I've a retentive memory so I remembered you fired me" Mandy soothed.
" Then what are you doing here?" the assistant Cook interfered and Mandy glare at her.
" you better mind your business before I rip you off your teeth" Mandy threatened before facing Mrs Smith again.
" I'm here to take my salary" Mandy spilled.
" which salary?" Mrs smith and the assistant Cook asked simultaneously.
" I know this is my first day, but you have to pay me because I served two customers before that asshole" Mandy replied and Mrs Smith laughed.
" you better get out of here this minute if you don't wanna go home in a wheel chair" Mrs smith glared.
" no I won't, and if you don't pay me this minute, I will set this restaurant ablaze, take it as a joke if you like and watch as your restaurant turns to ashes" Mandy said picking a lighter from the counter and a gallon of kerosine from under the cupboard.
" Mandy!!" The assistant Cook screamed.
" Mandy wait, we can settle this amicably" Mrs Smith soothed.
" are you paying me or not?" Mandy asked.
" I'll pay you but first drop the kerosine and lighter" Mrs Smith said and Mandy dropped them.
" now pay me" she demanded stretching forth her hands.
Mrs Smith opened her purse and gave her 200won
" it's not enough but I'll manage it" Mandy shrugged keeping the money in her pocket before she left the kitchen.
On her way home, she stopped by at a candy shop.
" I want candies" she demanded.
" how many" the attendant asked.
" five for 200won right? Give me five" she replied.
After buying the candies, she continue her journey thinking of a good lie to tell her mom but no idea is coming.
" dang it! I can't go home without a well structure and packaged lie or Mom will shove my neck off my body" she murmured unwrapping the Candy.
" I'll stop by at Charlotte's working place and take a nap"
Tyson's conglomerate
Henry entered his office, neatly dressed in another suit.
He sat down on his chair and the thought of what happened in the restaurant earlier came to his mind
" that brat! I feel like squeezing her tiny soul" he mumbled and his phone buzzed ' a text message from Mr Tyson.'
* Come to my office, we have something to discuss*
* I'll be there in less than five minutes* he sent before leaving his office
Tyson's office*
Henry entered the office and he saw Mr Tyson sitting on his rocking chair.
" Good day sir!" He bowed and Mr Tyson respond with a nod.
" I need you to look for a maid who can handle my sons" Mr Tyson informed.
" are they coming to Korea?" Henry asked and Mr Tyson nod.
" they will be back on Friday that's why you need to look for a maid before then, not just a maid but a girl who can handle them" Mr Tyson said.
" okay sir" Henry bowed before leaving the office.
" is he for real now? how did he expect me to get a maid for those jerks? Most especially Rex, that cold hearted jerk, No! not Rex, let's talk of Ryan that playboy, he's going to frustrate the maid to death.
I'm not sure anyone can handle those two and as for Rick, the last time I saw him he was a good and caring dude, who knows if he has changed over time? It has been three years now since I last saw them.
Aish! I just have to start searching, Friday is in four days time" Henry groaned ruffling his hair.
Kay's boutique
" What are you doing here?"
Charlotte asked i'mmediately Mandy entered the boutique.
" I came to visit my friend, do you have a problem with that?" Mandy replied with a question.
" yes, I've a big problem with you visiting me in my work place because you're a bunch of trouble" Charlotte replied simply.
" wait! Are you indirectly calling me a nuisance?" Mandy asked.
" I said the truth not an insult" Charlotte corrected.
" truth my foot" Mandy scoffed.
" so what are you doing here When you're supposed to be at your work place?" Charlotte asked.
" I got fired" Mandy replied.
" like for real, You got fired on your first day, what's wrong with you?" Charlotte queried.
" it's not a taboo to be fired on your first day of work you Know?" Mandy rolled her eyes.
" you better stop your stubborn attitude and be serious with life" Charlotte advised.
" you're not my Mom,

" I hope you're not planning to stay here till my closing hour?" Charlotte asked changing the topic.
" your bad baby girl because I'm staying till then" Mandy winked at her and occupy the vacant chair close by.
" my boss is not around, I hope she won't be angry to see you when she comes back and please don't touch anything, sit down in peace" Charlotte warned.
" so many instructions but I Mandy Lucas, won't obey any" Mandy smirked already on her feet.
" what are you planning to do?" Charlotte asked.
" feed my eyes" Mandy replied already ransacking through the clothes section.
" Mandy please, don't ruin any dress" Charlotte pleaded but Mandy gave deaf ears.
" wow! What a pretty sexy gown" Mandy praised, trying the gown on.
" Mandy! What are you doing?" Charlotte asked almost losing it.
" just testing the gown" Mandy replied wearing it from her legs.
She was being careless and it's a tight gown not even her size.
she kept forcing it to pass through her hips but the gown torn instead and she stared at Charlotte will widened eyes
" wait! Don't tell me you've succeeded in landing me in a big trouble?" Charlotte asked rushing towards Mandy.
" It was none of my intention to tear the gown, maybe it was fated to tear today" Mandy defended and Charlotte glared at her.
" stop saying nonsense! I warned you but you never listens now see what you've done" Charlotte lamented.
" chill Baby girl, it's just a gown and I'll patch it" Mandy soothed.
" patch what? You're really running mad, anyways the gown worth 5000 wons so pay for it" Charlotte demanded.
" for your information, I'm penniless and I better start going home, see you later" Mandy waved at Charlotte before running out of the boutique.
" Mandy!!!!" Charlotte screamed.
**Later in the day**
After sleeping for a long time, Mandy woke up and checked her table clock.
" jeez! It's 7pm, I'm sure Mom's back" she said getting down from the bed, she wore her flip-flops and head to the sitting room.
When she got there, she saw her Mom 'Paulina' and her annoying younger bother 'Carl' They're eating.
" Eating without me, that's bad manners" she said sitting on a chair in the dinning
" Ghost!!! What are you doing here?" Paulina screamed staring at Mandy surprisingly.
" I'm not a ghost, I'm you sweet daughter" Mandy rolled her eyes.
" what the hell are you doing here when you're supposed to be at work?" Paulina asked.
" isn't it obvious that she has been fired" Carl said eating his food.
" shut the cramp you nasty thing!" Mandy cussed.
" were you fired?" Paulina asked.
" no...yes.. I mean Maybe" Mandy scratch her head.
" like for real you got fired! Why?" Paulina yelled and Mandy flinched.
" I'm not at fault, I bickered with a jerk, and my silly ma'am fired me" Mandy defended.
" lies, she must've done something worst than what she just said" Carl interfered and Mandy glared at him.
" The rate at which you're been fired is getting out of hand and if you don't secure a job before in week time, I promise to throw you out" Paulina threatened.
" it will be great if she starts living under the bridge" Carl added and Mandy rush to him with the aim of squeezing his mouth but he took to his heels on time.
" just wait until I get hold of you!" Mandy groaned running after him.
" Having a daughter like Mandy is damn frustrating" Paulina sighed and took a sip from her glass of water.
*******
Mandy has been ringing the doorbell of Charlotte's house for the past 10 minutes now but there's no response.
" I'm going to spoil the bell if she doesn't come out" Mandy grinned and continue pressing the button non stop making the bell sound annoying and ear splitting.
" Mandy!!!" Charlotte screamed opening the door and Mandy stopped.
" How did you know it was me?" Mandy asked.
" you're professional life tormentor, so I know for sure" Charlotte replied.
" wow! I deserve some accolades for that" Mandy smiled feeling high.
" what are you doing here?" Charlotte asked.
" I came to visit....." She didn't finish her statement before Charlotte jammed the door on her face.
It's obvious she's still angry about the boutique's incident.
" fuck you Charlotte" Mandy groaned marching the door with her legs.
" It's 8:34pm, I should be on my way home" Mandy said walking out of Charlotte's compound.
**Somewhere in the streets of Seoul**
" let go of my bag" a girl cried dragging her hand bag with a drunkard.
The drunkard picked a stick with his other hand and hit the girl's head.
" Ouch!!!" The girl howled letting go of the bag.
" what's going on here?" Mandy asked coming to the scene with her fisted knuckles
" get lost, you tiny stick" the drunkard cussed staggering away.
" you'll regret ever calling me a tinny stick when I'm done" Mandy said dragging him back and she landed a face destroying punch on his face.
" Ouch!" The man staggered.
" now tell me who you called a tiny stick?" Mandy asked.
" not you ma'am, Gosh! My face is on fire" the man cried holding his face.
" say sorry to me and return the bag or...
" I'm sorry and take your bag" the man whined throwing the bag on the floor and he staggered away.
" useless soul" Mandy muttered.
" thanks for saving me I don't know what I would have done without you" The girl thanked and Mandy scoffed.
" you fool! are you a weakling or what? You should learn how to fight for yourself, I might not be there next time" Mandy scolded before walking away.
" oh gracious God! I need to find a job before a week time or else, mom wont think twice before throwing me out and that little devilish brother of mine will mock me" Mandy lamented as she continue her journey back home.
" Rachel what are you doing here? I told you to wait for me at the studio?" Henry scold.
" I'm sorry for disobeying you" Rachel apologized still staring at Mandy's back view.
Henry traced her gaze and it landed on Mandy's back view.
" who's she?" He asked.
" an angel who just saved me from a drunkard, she is not only beautiful but intelligent and full of guts, can you believe she scolded me.
She was like ' YOU FOOL! ARE YOU A WEAKLING OR WHAT,? YOU SHOULD LEARN HOW TO FIGHT FOR YOURSELF, I MIGHT NOT BE THERE NEXT TIME' geez! I envy her guts" Rachel smiled hugging her bag.
" If you're done, let's go home" Henry said leading the way.
"you weren't even listening" Rachel groaned walking behind him.
He led her to the car and they both entered before the driver drove off.
DAYS LATER
**The Brown's mansion**
" Geez! I've tomorrow left, where will I start from? Looking for a maid for those JERKS is like going to hell to look for the devil" Henry groaned ransacking his wardrobe for a suit, he isn't seeing anyone that soothes his taste.
" big bro! The laundry man said I should give this to you" Rachel informed entering Henry's room.
" I'll wear this" Henry said taking the suit from Rachel.
" hurry up bro, I don't wanna be late, I'll be waiting downstairs" Rachel said on her way out.
After wearing the suit, Henry
stood in front of the mirror checking himself out and he remembered the incident at the restaurant, few days back. he is wearing that same suit.
" That brat" he mumbled and idea struck his mind.
" Wait! Mr Tyson's sons will be back the day after tomorrow, and I need to look for a maid that can handle them,,,,
Yes! I'm 100% sure that crazy girl can handle them.
This is great, no need for unnecessary stress, I just have to pay DeVille eatery a visit".
After dropping Rachel off at the studio Henry drove to Deville's eatery.
* Mr Tyson's manger is here*
* Maybe he came for revenge* the workers gossiped among themselves after he entered the eatery.
it's still early there's no customer, only the workers are present.
" good morning sir!" They all bowed their heads when he got close to them.
" I'm sure you all remembered the incident that took place few day ago huh?" Henry asked ignoring their greetings.
" yes we did and I swear we were not in cohort with her, so please spare us" a girl pleaded on behalf of her co-workers.
" what's going on here?" Mrs Smith asked coming to view.
" oh! good morning sir" she bowed on seeing Henry.
" are you the owner of this restaurant?" Henry asked and she hesitated before nodding her head.
" I wanna talk to you in private" Henry said and all the workers rush out of the scene.
" I want information about the girl that embarrassed me five days ago" he demanded.
" oh! Mandy Lucas, that badass" Mrs Smith muttered.
" her name is Mandy Lucas? anyways I want to know more about her" Henry said.
" she's 20 years old, her Mom Mrs Paulina sells vegetables at the local market, her younger brother Carl is 7 years old, her Dad ran away when she was still in elementary school, Mandy is a crazy girl, she's bad-mouthed and she goes around distributing troubles" Mrs Smith described and Henry chuckled.
" she has a crazy personality and you seems to know alot about her" Henry muttered.
" yeah I do because her Mom is a good friend of mine that was why I employed her in the first place, but after that incident, I fired her" Mrs Smith elaborate.
" so she no longer works here, can you give me her address?" Henry asked.
" huh?" Mrs smith asked.
" her address" Henry repeated.
*** Lucas's house ***
" I'm off to the market and you better start hunting for job, remember you have few days left" Mrs Paulina reminded and Mandy rolled her eyes.
" if you're done blabbing, you can use the door" Mandy snapped laying on the couch.
" we'll see who will use the door very soon" Paulina scoffed before walking out.
' Why is Mom acting like a witch in my life?' She thought scattering her hair.
" I'm off to school, if you like turn the house upside down" Carl said walking out.
" big headed fool" she stuck out her tongue at him
" you'll definitely know how to keep your tongue in your mouth after Mom kicks you out" Carl scoffed by the door.
" I'm hungry and I'll finish the whole food in this house" Mandy grinned jumping up from the couch and she head to the kitchen.
She stopped halfway when she heard door bell ringing.
" whoever it is should get lost or wait until my stomach is filled" she scoffed proceeding to the kitchen but the person kept ringing the doorbell.
She felt irritated and marched to the door, she opened it and boom! it's Mr Tyson's Manager.
" no!" She screamed and shut the door back i'mmediately.
She opened it slowly again peeping to see if it's truly him and for gracious sake it's him.
" Holy shit!" She breathed closing the door again.
" you don't have to be scared, I came in peace" Henry said.
" are you here alone or you came with your black suit guards?" She asked from inside.
" I came alone" Henry replied and Mandy opened the door.
She look left and right and there's no sign of guards,, he really came alone.
" you dimwit! How dare you scare me?" She asked hitting Henry's chest.
" don't do that again or else....
" just shut it, and listen you don't threaten me in my own house or I'll beat you to stupor" she threatened and Henry scoffed.
" stop bragging and let me in" Henry said.
" there's no way I'm letting you enter my house, so go back to the pit you came from" she rolled her eyes.
" since you've been fired I decided to offer you a job but it's okay I'll go with my job offer" Henry said turning to leave but Mandy quickly dragged him back.
" you just said you came with a job offer right?" She asked.
" yes I did and I can promise you the pay is huge" Henry said.
" how much?" Mandy asked nonchalantly.
" I can't give you a maximum estimation but my minimum estimation is 1.2million wons monthly" Henry estimated and Mandy's eyes dilated in shock with her mouth wide open.
" close your mouth, I'm sure you don't want flies to find their way in" he taunted and Mandy closed her mouth.
" you meant what you just said about your minimum estimation right?"Mandy asked.
" I'm not a joker, you fool" he scoffed
" what kind of job?" She asked staring at Him suspiciously.
" you'll find out tomorrow, I'll be here by 8am" Henry said and walk away.
" oh my gracious God! He just said 1.2 million wons as his minimum estimation, that's huge, by the way who gave him my address?" She thought.
" I need to go out, my head might explode if I stay here for a minute more" she said locking the door
** the studio **
Rachel just finished painting her third art work for today.
she is an artist in one of the popular atelier in Seoul.
" wow! Rachel you're a genius" her colleagues praised admiring her paintings.
" Rachel is a good painter and a fast learner, you guys should work hard to be like her" their master said from behind.
" sir, can I go for a break?" Rachel asked.
" yes for sure, you've been working since morning, you need a break" Mr Lewis permitted..
" thank you sir" she thanked and head out.
" come back on time,!" he yelled to her hearing.
" sir can we go for a break as well?" Rachel's colleagues asked.
" big no! and get your lazy asses to work" Mr Lewis declined and they frowned.
Rachel entered the cafeteria that's opposite their studio and occupied a chair on a table for two.
" a cup of coffee please" she said to the waitress who approached her.
After two minutes she was served and she took a sip from the coffee before unlocking her phone. She went straight to her gallery which is filled with photos of our number one world playboy ' Ryan Tyson' mr Tyson's second son.
Ryan is the most handsome among Tyson's sons and he's a big playboy. His love for pussies is something to write home about... all he cares for is fucking what's underneath a woman's skirt.
Rachel has been crushing on him for years despite his playboy lifestyle.
She lay her head on the table thinking of Ryan and how badly she wants him to love her back.
" Gosh! 1.2million wons minimum estimation" Mandy muttered as she occupy the vacant chair next to Rachel.
" with $1.2million I can rent a better apartment for my mom, I can enroll Carl into a better school, I can open a big store for my mom" Mandy pondering aloud and Rachel raised her head from the table.
Her eyes dilated when she saw her superwoman who saved her from that drunkard some days back
A big smile appeared on her lips.
" my heroine!" She beamed bringing Mandy from her thought.
" I never expected to see you so soon" she gushed and Mandy stare at her awkwardly.
" you don't recognize me?" Rachel asked.
" how do you expect me to recognize you, are you one of my maternal relatives or do I look like someone who's carrying the world map of faces on my head?" Mandy gruffed
' she has a badmouthing nature' Rachel thought.
" okay, I'm the girl from 5days ago" Rachel replied.
" girl from five days ago? Be specific because I met lots of girls before and after five days ago" Mandy said.
" I'm the girl you saved from that drunkard five days ago" Rachel reminded.
" yeah! I remembered saving a weakling and I've forgotten the day" Mandy grinned and Rachel frowned.
" don't call me that, I'm not a weakling" Rachel pouted.
" teasing is one of my hobbies" Mandy smirked.
" I'm Rachel Brown, can we be friends?" Rachel asked stretching forth her hands.
"yes, I'm Mandy Lucas, a real psychopath to be sincere, and I like straight forwardness" Mandy introduced accepting the hand shake.
" having a crazy friend, is the best thing ever" Rachel giggled and Mandy smiled.
" opsy! I've to go now, my break is over, see you some other time" Rachel said after checking her watch and she ran off.
" phew! 1.2Million minimum wons estimation" Mandy sighed standing on her feet and she left the cafeteria.
**Tyson's empire**
Tyson's office ∆
" good morning Sir!" Henry bowed his head.
" have you find any girl yet?" Mr Tyson went straight to the point ignoring formalities.
" Yes, I've found a girl that's fit for the job" Henry replied.
" are you sure she can handle them? Remember how troublesome that good for nothing Ryan can be, and how stone hearted Rex is?" Mr Tyson asked.
" to me, she has 100% capability of handling them, and I'll confirm it yourself by tomorrow" Henry said.
" tomorrow will tell. I forwarded some files to your system, you have to edit them before 6pm" he instructed.
" yes sir" Henry bowed before walking out .
' me as a father I'm unable to handle them, I just wonder how the so called girl will" Mr Tyson thought.
