The maid held her cheeks in shock; From the surprise and the effects of the slap on her face.
“How dare you filthy thing, how dare you spill dirt on my shirt. You filthy thing, do you know how much this clothe costs?!” Becky called rasped as she stood up her eyes filled with rage.
“I am so sorry ma'am, I didn't mean to do that “ The main bemoaned.
“You know what? You are fired. Get the hell out of here” Becky said standing up angrily.
“Steve, send this nicoompoop out of this house NOW!” Becky ordered and Steve cleared his throat.
“She didn't mean to, Becky, stop making a fuss” Steve said standing up and leaving the dining table. He seems embarrassed.
“Steve? Becky called after Steve but he ignored him. She went after him.
Tasha was left at the table with the crying maid. She helped her to her feet. The other maids were at the kitchen entrance peeping at what is going on.
“It's okay” Tasha said as she wiped her tears. Becky came in.
“And what are you doing Tasha?” Becky thundered angrily. Tasha feels so irritated and she scoffed. Who does Becky thinks she is.
“What do you mean” she asked.
“Why are you pacifying someone who just commited a grievous crime, how dare you sympathize with her?” Becky screamed. She looks so irritated.
“I think she did it out of mistake, she did not mean it” Tasha said trying to control herself. Becky can really piss someone off.
“How dare you talk to me like that?” Becky thundered again.
Tasha was now sure that Becky was mad. She walked out of the room.
“And where are you going?” Becky screamed but she ignored her and banged the door of her room.
What a psychopath!!
Tasha did not go out again that day but she asked one of the maid to bring in some food for her through the room telephone.
It was Clara that brought the food.
“How is that maid who clashed with Becky” Tasha asked as Clara placed the food on the bed.
“She has been sent away. Ma'am Becky actually sent her away” Clara said.
Tasha shook her head.
“Who the hell is that girl, who does she thinks she is?” Tasha found herself yelling.
“I heard from the gardener that she is Mr Steve's childhood friend but they are not Lovers. They just seem to share a strong bond” Clara said and Tasha nodded.
“I have to go now” Clara said and left the room. Tasha had told her to stop bowing for her.
Tasha digged into her food. Mr Steve has a female childhood friend? Why did Brenda now mention him not having any female friend or allergic to women?
She stayed in her room after her meal. She called the maids to come back the used plate. She doesn't want to encounter Becky in any way.
#Next morning
Tasha woke up very early and got dressed. It is Monday and work commences today.
She took her bag and glanced at her wrist watch. Seven o clock. Perfect. She won't have to encounter any of the bosses of the house. She can at least have breakfast in peace today.
A knock came on the door.
She opened the door. A maid was there.
“Mr Steve asked me to call you. He said you are going to the office early today. He is waiting. I already have your food packed ma'am” the maid said and Tasha frowned.
“Seriously?”
“He is waiting at the car ma'am” the maid said and left.
Tasha dragged her legs to the living room. She saw a big lunch box. She carried it.
She got outside and the car was ready to move.
“She entered through the middle door. There he was and beside him was Tasha. Why does this girl always have to show herself and where is she even going?
“Good morning sir” she greeted.
He mumbled a reply.
“Good morning ma'am” she gestures to Becky who just scoffed. She acted unconcerned. Just them the driver started the car and the car started moving.
