Maid For The Arrogant Billionaire

CHAPTER4

LUKE

I was determined that nothing was going to spoil my day or irritate me further this week, not until I saw the new housekeeper my father had been raving about.

“Good morning, Ms. Graham! You're here bright and early, please have a seat,” his voice broke me out of my thoughts.

He looked so enamored with her and impressed with the fact that she was punctual and knowing my dad he had zero tolerance for lateness.

“Luke, this is Ms. Graham. She’ll be stepping in as the new housekeeper while Madam Joyce is on extended leave. I’ve observed her work over time, and I’m confident she’ll excel”.

“Yes Ms.Graham, I remember her vividly”. I thought.

I looked at her with a piercing gaze trying to make her uncomfortable and was satisfied when I saw her hands trembling as she stop frozen,knowing she was doing everything not to look up at me

“ it’s a pleasure to meet you Ms.Graham”, I said smoothly. “My father can be a tough man to impress, but it seems you have already secured a place in his good graces I slyly implied”.

I made sure my voice dripped with a hint of mischief. My mind raced back to the kiss we shared in the stall the day before. How could I forget?

I had encountered numerous women, yet none had left that kind of imprint on me as she had even if it lasted for seconds. For a split second I thought of exposing her secret to my father so that he would end her employment on the spot but no. I was more excited about torturing her and making sure she suffered for what she did that night.

I extended my hand for a handshake, watching with a hint of amusement as her fingers trembled in response. I found so much joy in the power I had over her. She was visibly shaken and I knew her heart was racing out of fear.

She looked like she was going to disappear in a split second or worse turn down the job, I could not let her do that, she had to suffer for making things complicated with Mia and rushing off when I asked her to wait

How dare she.

“You seem oddly familiar, do I know you from somewhere”? I asked, still trying to make her uneasy.

“No sir, I'm sure I would remember you if I've met you before”. She said pretending.

Wow, I thought, she's a very good liar. Just wow

“Luke I'm sure you must have met her in that diner across town, she used to work there,” my dad said as he gestured for her to sit down

A deep gaze fixed on her. Most women I've encountered always met my eyes but Cara avoided it like a plague. Given that she had slapped me just days ago, I was so puzzled by her reaction.

“So, Ms. Graham, you’ll be taking on the role of housekeeper in this section of the estate. I’m seldom home due to work, but my father insisted on finding someone reliable to help out,” I explained, my tone casual yet firm.

She nodded mutely and continued staring for some seconds before she managed to say. “Yes sir,”.

“I’ll be heading to the office soon with Luke,” Mr. Kingston stated, his voice cutting through the haze of her thoughts. “Silas, the butler you met earlier, will present you with a contract to sign detailing the terms of your employment.

“And remember, you have my contact information. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you need anything”.

“Okay thank you very much sir”, she said with the smallest voice.

My mind buzzed with a lot of questions, I wondered what kind of rapport Cara has with my father to be granted that kind of access. I knew my father well and not everybody had that access to him.

I guess I'll have to find out on my own later.

We left the sitting area and walked down to the car.

“What do you think about your new housekeeper “?. My father asked me throwing me off balance.

“Hmm”. I said with a very confused expression.

“She’ll be working for you in your wing of the house seeing as Mrs Liz won’t be coming back anytime soon so what do you think?”

I tried to answer the question in the most diplomatic way possible to avoid suspicion.

“She’s seems very respectful and quite punctual, she has started off on a very good foot so I’m sure she’ll do her work diligently”.

She had better, I thought to myself .

“Well that’s nice,I’m glad you think highly of her. Don’t even think to start anything with her , she’s a very respectable girl whom I’m fond of”.

“Hmph I almost grunted out loud, start something with her? as if”.

“If you've noticed she's not usually my type”, I said.

“ I'm heading out first to the office, I think you should go and made clear her job description in addition to whatever Silas would do, maybe a mini tour of the house”.

I walked back to the house and entered through another door at the back, walking silently to the terrace.

I watched as the butler was showing her around the ground floor, sitting area and kitchen. She lookes so dazed and impresses with what she was seeing.

She's pretty no doubt, but not my type and even her beauty will not save her from what I've planned out for her. For destroying my chance with Mia, I'm going to make her pay.

I looked down again and caught her smiling at the butler, such innocent smile.

“Ha, I guess its time to get that smile off your face Miss escort” I said to myself.

I made my way downstairs using the staircase that was not visible to visitors. My phone rang and I picked it up shortly distracted and not looking while entering the house, within seconds I collided with something or should I say someone.

I looked down with a very mischievous smile.

“Welcome to my house Ms.Graham, I'm sure you'll enjoy your stay here”.
