His Obsession

Chapter 5

New room

Why were the other staff in the staff quarters, and I would be in the guest room?

It was what I wanted to ask him but I couldn't.

I just answered "okay sir" and headed out.

I went to the kitchen and found Mia cleaning.

Then I told her what Mr Elyon had said and she was as surprised as I was.

"Mr.Elyon instructed that we should prepare a guest room downstairs."

"Argh! I thought we wouldn't be having guests for a long time again."

Mia groaned!

"Actually, it's for me," I let out.

She looked at me in awe.

"Mr Elyon is having you sleep in a guest room?

Mia asked, dropping the mop.

I nodded.

Just as we were discussing, Mr Riggs walked in.

"Mia, what's the hold up?" He demanded.

"Nothing," she replied quickly and took my hand in hers, leading me out of the kitchen.

We walked straight ahead past the living room,dining room, a room with a huge pool table and colorful curtains, and another room that was all white.

We arrived at four doors.

"Pick one", she said softly.

I chose the last one.

We entered and started dusting and tidying up.

We made the bed and changed the pillow cases. She left then returned with a broom,mop, a bucket of water, and cleaning products. We cleaned the floors and reachable spots. When we had completed everything, I helped her carry the supplies back to the storage room.

"Do you know that the last time he let a maid sleep in here was because he was screwing her ..?"

"What are you talking about?" Was she crazy? I was a virgin in every way. I'd never even had a hug from a guy.

"Mr Elyon never lets the help sleep in the mansion, unless he's screwing her"

"I'm not screwing him, Mia.

I don't know why he's allowing me to sleep here."

"And you didn't ask?

"No I didn't!

I don't wanna loose my job even before starting you know"

I don't know why she was behaving that way!

It was only my first day here.

I was a virgin to the moon and back..

I have never even kissed a guy not to talk of screwing him!

"Thanks for the help," I said, but she just turned on her heels and left.

I picked up the remote to the air conditioner and pressed the red button. It's always the red button.

I was enjoying the cool air before a knock came at the door. I opened it and Mr Riggs walked in, looking charming as ever. He wore a black joggers with a round neck top that accentuated his broad chest and muscular arms..

I was so lost in admiring him that I didn't even hear him talk.

Elora! Elora!

Are you deaf?

His deep and loud voice broke me out of my reverie.

Has Mia told you what to do? You must do everything in time ..no slacking.

Also, write down your previous address.

He handed me a note pad and a pen

I wrote it down and handed it back to him.

He left.

After he left, was when I remembered that I had a roommate.

Shit!

I reached out for my phone and dialed Tina's number.

Tina, pick up!

Well she didn't pick

I guess she must be asleep.

I sat down to take in the beauty of this room.

It was bigger than my shared apartment.

I had a big bed, toilet, a Walk-in closet, dressing table all to myself.

It all seemed too good to be true.

Everything appeared to be new except me!

Shit!

I need to have my bath and change

The sound of cutlery falling graced my ears immediately I set my foot in the kitchen.

I met a middle aged woman cooking like her life depended on it, she was in such a hurry which baffled me...

I wondered, what's going on??

Just when I was about to greet the woman, Mia walked in "Agnes you have less than 10 minutes! Elora, you're here?

This is Agnes, The Chef

Agnes this is Elora Grandma's assistant"

Is the Food ready?

Mr Riggs walked in, he was just out of the shower. Damp hair with drops of water on his face and lips.

How would those lips taste if I were to kiss them?

Oh s**t!

Erotic thoughts, Elora he would never kiss you!

I subtly reminded myself.

Yes sir

The food is ready, said Agnes!

Good, take it to my room

My fiance is here!

Wait!!!

What ?

Fiancee???

He's engaged

No,he can't be…

I subtly argued in my head!

Okay sir,Agnes said.

There was a board in the kitchen that acted like a time keeper. It told what time we could finish work. You didn't dare leave or finish until it said so. After a bit of time the board read: "Dismissed". At the signal, Mia dashed out toward the servants' quarters and I walked back to the guest room, still hurt.

Why am I feeling like this? What's going on with me? I chastised.

I gathered myself as I fell into one of the softest beds I had ever had in my life, yet the feeling was so uncomfortable.
