Chapter Three:The underground.

Sunlight streaked into the small room. I opened my eyes. I couldn't feel my right leg anymore ,worst of all I was having a splitting headache.

My door opened, I sat up.

“Get ready for your first assignment”, a woman in her 50s spoke .She wore a maids uniform. Her face was wrinkled and she held an angry look ,not at me but from years of working in the underground I guess.

“ I.. I.. um.. uh..”,I tried to find my words but I couldn't say anything. It was like my memory was blocked.

“ You stink. Get ready to bathe”,she said. I struggled up even though I felt sick all over my body.

I limped down the corridor, with her in front directing me. We soon reached a room that looked like a bathroom.

“I'll ask someone to bring your uniform to the room. In the meantime bath, there is pomade and everything you need”

“ Thank you”, I said honestly.

“ If you knew what was on your way ,you wouldn't thank me”, she said, closing the door behind her, not gentle and not loud either.

A new set of sponge,brush, underwears and cream for the skin and hair too lay on the counter. This place was not so bad as a matter of fact I don't feel so scared anymore. There's only a shower but it's not like I want a tub in it,duh.

From what I heard,I was going to be working pretty hard. And I was not prepared for it,yet.

I am still trying to process everything that went on in my life in less than 48-72 hours. I miss my aunt already. She must have been so worried. Then I remembered my bag,my phone was in my bag. But I didn't see it anywhere. Thanks to the kidnapping.

Thinking about everything,a new wave of tears threatened to fall. I was gonna ask for a phone and call home!

When I got out of the shower , a dress was neatly folded and placed on the counter. I hurriedly applied the pomade on my skin, combing my pink hair that I inherited from my mother into a neat bun. The cloth was an oversized long dress,reaching down the knees. It was brownish in color. Not what the woman earlier wore,but what can I do?

The style of the dress, lacked fashion sense.

I walked outside, looking around. The place looked simple,just cement used for plastering the walls,stretching into a long corridor. A one or two bulbs fixed in the ceiling. I was wandering around for a bit. I didn't know where to go.

“Hey,new girl”, shouted a female voice. I turned around to see a girl in similar clothing as to what I wore. She didn't look happy. As a matter of fact,she looked scary.

“Where the hell do you think you're going?”,she asked angrily.

“ I didn't see anyone ,so I decided to look around a bit”, I defended myself, fiddling with the hem of my new dress. I didn't know if it was new or not. But I only get to wear a new cloth apart from the ones I had whether second hand or brand new.

“Yeah, right”,she rolled her eyes at me. “Follow me, we're asked to get the whole garden swept and the trees trimmed. But since you decided to make things difficult for me, I might as well get you do all the work”

The underground had a garden?

“Uhm… I..I …”,what the f**k is wrong with me. I've now lost my voice ?

“What ?! b***h”,she shouted.

“I wanted to ask a question, I … d-dont really know a lot about this place. Is it the underground?”, I asked.

“Are you dumb or are you just irritating?”,she questioned. “This is not the underground. It's upstairs”, I could feel the sarcasm in her voice.

“I don't understand”, I said.

“This is the f*****g underground”,she said as if I was the unbelievably irritating person in Earth.

“Oh, why does it have…h-have a garden?”,I asked. She didn't reply.

But then,she suddenly snapped, ”Why don't you ask the f*****g owners!”

She was just seconds away from slapping me but her hands stopped in mid air,as a commanding voice boomed.

For a moment ,I was filled with fear.

I turned around, for a moment I couldn't breath,this man was tall, muscular,handsome.Sharp jawlines and everything was just so manly and authoritative .

I swear I saw stars. “Stop fooling around and get to work”

I finally came into my senses. “Yes,sir!”

“Oh, not you. Her”,he pointed at the mean woman moments ago who now looked scared.

“Are you Rhea Smith?”,he asked.

“Yes!”,not only was he so breathtakingly handsome. He was my savior and my knight in shining armor.

“Follow me”,I walked meekly behind him.

We reached a room that looked like an office. A man was sitting there. More handsome,very dangerous, his presence made me weak.His body was lean muscular,but he was a big guy ,his jawline already looked so f*****g seductively. I craved its touch.

“Hmm..hmm”,he cleared his voice, snapping me out of my pathetic trance . “Take a sit”

His voice was so damn commanding.

To be continued!!

You know I love you,right?Muah❤️💋
