The Billionaire's Maid

Chapter 4: Mr. Leicester who?

I arrived at the house at exactly 11:40 and as what I have expected they are all worried about me. Mama is sitting on her bed, Charlie is reading his book but the moment he saw me he just stared at me while Dennis on the other hand is fuming with anger. “Jelena,you told us that you will just go to the city to find a job but why did you came home late? I'm really sure that there is no company that still open at this time. "Daniel asked and I understand why he's angry because he is just concerned about her younger sister. “Honey,did you already had your dinner? maybe you're hungry already." Mama asked with the soft voice. As if on cue I slowly showed them the take outs from the fast food that Mr. Leicester gave me. “Jelena that looks so yummy!" Charlie exclaimed happily and ran towards me to get the bags of foods in my hands. “my dear where did you get all those food? "Mama asked confusingly. I hate lying and part of me wants to tell them the truth but if they know that I got into an accident earlier they will never allow me to go to the City to find a job again. I have no choice but to lie. “um... Ma, that's from my friend Amanda. We saw each other accidentally in the City earlier and she decided to treat me with some fast foods." I said. Dennis looks unconvinced but he had no choice but to buy my alibi or else mom will be stressed if we're going to argue. “I will just set the table Mama so that we can have our dinner now cause it seems like Charlie is really hungry already" I laughed nervously and they agreed.

After dinner, I went to my room and because my body is so tired, I lied on the bed immediately and then some thoughts turned me back to my senses abruptly. My mind is full of questions. Did I really got hit by the car? but I don't have bruises or body pains, Oh I remember that guy earlier who almost killed me. Did he just ran away? and who is Mr. Leicester? I don't really know. My mind is so chaotic now and I can't even find an answer to my questions. Whoever Mr. Leicester is, I'm really thankful to him because he's so helpful and generous.

“Son,I have prepared a dinner for you. I'm pretty sure that you're tired in the office that's why I initiated to cook immediately. "mom said while urging me to go to the kitchen. Today has been a very exhausting day for me and actually I didn't spent my whole day in the office. Earlier, I almost hit a girl by the car and then she suddenly collapsed that's why I decided to bring him to the hospital immediately. The doctor said that she collapsed because of high level of stress and hunger. The thing about her is that she pretty much looks familiar but I couldn't figure out where I met her.

"Marco, how's the business going?" dad cut the train of thoughts that's been running inside my head. “Dad,it's doing well. The new investors signed the deal already and it's taken cared of. "I responded and the whole dining room is back to being silent again. Actually, I rarely go home because I have my own penthouse but because mom texted me earlier,I went here. “son did you know that I got my hair done earlier in a new salon that Ashley's mom owns? I really love it." Mom said hoping to lighten the atmosphere. “yeah mom you look beautiful." I responded while giving her a sincere smile. “Thats the only thing you know. You only know how to go to the salon almost everyday and you spend money for shopping, you're good at it Precilia. "dad said with a sarcasm on his voice. How dare him to insult mom in front of us. He always do this and it's making my blood boil. “dad,it's mom's rights because she's your wife, it will be inappropriate if you spend your money on your mistresses." I responded and it made him more angry. Mom looks worried already too just like my sister. “so you piece of sh*t has a nerve to talk back to your father now huh? "he shouted angrily while putting down his fork and dinner knife. “How dare you talk back to me like that Marco? if it's not because of me, you are nothing! absolutely nothing you id**t! "he continued. “and how dare you too for disrespecting my mom in front of us? ”I said while putting down my glass. “get out of here! I don't want to see your face ever!" dad shouted.“stop you two please, I'm begging you don't argue here in front of the food. "mom said while crying. Whenever she cries my heart breaks into pieces and I hate seeing her in that vulnerable situation. If only she didn't married a total scumb*g she shouldn't be suffering right now. I know that dad never loved her and he's just staying in this family because of business and to avoid a scandal that will tarnish his good image as a well-known business man and a “good father" well, they just don't know who he really is. “Marco!get out of my house now! " again, dad shouted at me and mom is trying to stop him. “You don't have to shove me away dad because I'm leaving. Have a great night dad and mom, thanks for the dinner it's delicious." I replied and walked my way out of the dining room. I can still hear mom's voice and she kept on pleading for me not to go but living here isn't healthy for all of us either.
