The billionaire's maid

Chapter Three

‘That was quick…’ Isabella said getting up from the bed and putting her legs into her trusty Crocs.

“What was quick? What is going on there ‘Bella? Hello!!!”

“I'm sorry Rachel but I have to call you back I think that's the friend he said was going to help me”.

“Who said? What friend? Girl!! You're killing me!! Let me in on what's going on there. You've been there a few minutes and your life is already more exciting than mine” Rachel said in a whiny voice.

“I'm sorry. I promise to tell you everything but right now I have to go. Love you” Isabella assured her laughing a little and ending the call.

Rachel sometimes acted like a baby even though she was more worldly.

Isabella got up hastily from the bed, almost running to the door.

She missed her footing on the last step and nearly face-planted on the floor.

She caught herself on the railings and laughed a little ‘You want to give yourself a concussion on your very first day?’ Isabella dialogued with herself a habit she was trying to break.

She threw the door open and came face to face with a beautiful leggy brunette.

‘What was in the water in this town, why do these people look so beautiful?’ Isabella mused feeling a little inadequate.

Isabella was stunned when she looked at the brunette again and noticed her entire demeanor changed after giving her a thorough once-over.

Yes, they were both sizing each other up but for very different reasons.

“You must be the new maid. I'm Celina, Jake asked me to come help you” she said sneering and looking at her with unconcealed disgust.

Isabella’s eyes widened in astonishment. ‘What is her problem? I'm sure I've never seen her in my life so why is she looking at me like the scum of the earth.’ she mused in confusion

Adjusting herself to her full 5’8 height and protruding her ample chest she extended her hands for a handshake. “Yes I'm the new maid, My name is Isabella. Nice to meet you. Please come in” she replied, hoping to be the bigger person.

Celina recoiled and took a step back from her like her extended hand was a snake ready to strike.

“What?? I do not have any contact whatsoever! with the help! And you don't need to invite me to this place is like a second home to me.

I'm just here to do Jake a big favor. If you're ready let's go I have better things to do with my time” she said in a disdainful tone.

Isabella was completely stunned by this woman's attitude and behavior towards her. What did she do to her?

She looked around to make sure there weren't any hidden cameras. This felt like she was on the set of Mean Girls or something.

She chooses to ignore her and her insolence. She just got the list and the money and followed her to her car.

When she sat down in the front seat Celina grimaced and made a choking sound at the back of her throat like she wanted to throw up.

Isabella was getting furious. She wanted to yell a few choice words at Celina but then how would she get to the store, and buy the things she needed to impress her new boss? She sighed

“ Thank you for doing this and sorry for any inconvenience,” Isabella said with feigned gratitude.

Celina just clenched her teeth and continued driving but didn't say a word.

Soon they arrived at the store. It wasn't very far from the house something Isabella was grateful for ‘cos she wouldn't put it past Celina to ditch her and leave her here stranded.

“You have 20 minutes then you're on your own. The cab doesn't get here for a while if you haven't already noticed. If I were you I would use that 15 minutes wisely.”Celina said in a loud condescending voice drawing the attention of a few shoppers.

With a shaky timid voice, Isabella replied “I know you're helping me but you don't have to be so mean you know that right?” Her voice caught a little at the end.

“ Do you want to cry?” Celina asked in a mocking voice. She Chuckles “You have 18 minutes now! I would get moving if I were you”

Isabella shook her head and decided to get on with it

The store was so small and quaint much like the one in her hometown, She grinned and went about her shopping happily forgetting the unpleasant exchange just a couple of minutes ago.

Everything was so fresh and easy to find. She was done in 15 minutes with 5 minutes to spare. “Let's go. I'm done shopping” Isabella announced trying not to make eye contact.

She just hated that maid. She didn't know why but immediately she set her eyes on her She was filled with a hatred so immense she was shocked by the intensity of it. Celina groaned inwardly.

‘How could Jake take such a beautiful woman as his maid?’ The annoying part was that the girl seemed oblivious to her beauty and charms.

She felt agitated.

Discreetly, she tried to look at her again she was perusing the fruits section and smiling to herself like a fool. Arghhhh!

Celina marched out of the store angrily not even sparing Isabella a simple glance.

Isabella noticed, rolled her eyes but followed her. She didn't have much of a choice.

The drive back to the mansion was quick because Celina was driving like a maniac. Thankfully, there were hardly any cars on the road and they got back in record time.

Isabella alighted “Thank…” Too late Celina was already peeling out of the driveway like her pants were on fire. Wow just wow.

Isabella didn't have time to dwell on Celina or her obvious dislike of her instead she started on her dishes.

She looked at the time she had about 6 hours to pull this off.

She intended to blow their socks off with it. She quickly beats, marinates, and puts it in the oven to start cooking.

‘What would make this perfect is if I looked the part of a maid. I only brought jeans and a few dresses with me, those won't fly with the elite and snobbish’ she lamented sorely searching the rooms.

“Yes!!” she exclaimed triumphantly. She found a dress! A maid’s dress from the looks of it.

‘I'm going to make it work, It looks a bit small around the bust area, I'll just wear my smallest bra and hope the buttons don't take out someone's eyes. fingers crossed.’

A few minutes later she heard the sound of approaching cars ‘Yeah’ she squealed it’s show time!

She ran downstairs slowing down on the step that nearly had her rolling over earlier in the day and took her position at the bottom of the stairs.

She ran her hand nervously over the uniform, and her hair, She was about to adjust the front buttons when the front door opened.

Jacob was the first to come in she had a smile ready on her face which quickly fell when she saw the look of outrage on his face.

“What the f*ck are you wearing?”
