Chapter two

But she reasoned that that was not the time nor the place to asked such a question, “i want to carry her" shantel said already stretching forth her hand to lift up the little bundle of joy, jihye just nodded, as Shantel picked her up feeling the warmth of the new born baby. “have you thought of a name yet?" Shantel asked, “hee father loved poems especially the one with 14 lines that rhymes, so I would name her sonnet".......

Sonnet grew up to a tough and difficult life, it wasn't always rose petals and blossoms but they were happy and that is all that matters, to her anyways.

Her mom didn't have the money to send her to college, so after graduating from highschool with the help of her godmother Sheila, who helped in bringing her up, she decided to find work anywhere that she could to assist her mom, since Sheila no longer lives with them, Sheila now stayed in her fiance's house and the date for their wedding was soon to be fixed.

Jihye roamed the streets looking for any wanted adds, and she finally found one, it said it needed a barista to work the counter, during the day, she walked in looked around but want too unfamiliar with the place since she had been here a couple of times before, to grab a cup of cappuccino.

She walked up to someone cleaning the counter, it was an afternoon so there wasn't any line to the counter as there usually used to be in the mornings. “hi" she greeted the lady, “hello what can I get you, this fine afternoon?" The lady said, “well I was wondering if I could by any chance speak with the lesson in charge of hiring here, for you see I need a job, and I saw a sign outside saying you guys needs a barista"

She looked at me unsure of what to reply me, “jeremy! I thought I told you to remove that darned board outside!" A middle aged man said, as he approached where I stood, “sorry sleeping beauty but this fair beauty was just hired this morning", he said as I noticed that he was staring at my body disgustingly.

That alone completely killed my drive for working here, I just nodded and left the store. Still trudging along slowly under the slightly hit sun, the flowers were starting to change colour, it seems autumn was near, the air had also started to get colder, as I saw on lead pull out from the tree that it was atached to, it wiggled and danced to the rhythm of a slight wind current and landed at a neighborhood that uo till now I didn't know was there.

I walked around the neighborhood taking in everything as I walked by, there were a lot of big buildings in this area, a limo passed by me and drove into the front gate of one of the most beautiful buildings that I have ever seen, I could hear yelling as the gate was opened, a maid was being sent packing; “and after you leave thisvhouse I don't want to see you near this gate anymore understood?"

A middle aged man walked came out the back of the limo looking all elegantly dressed in his black suit and tie his shoes was well polished that it reflected the sunlight, to a lot of people they would see his dressing attractive but to me I just found it depressing, the all black garb in a black limo made it look like he was just returning from a funeral.

“honey this is the third maid that you've fired this month already, and now you need another one" the man who appeared to be her, husband said as the car he came down from pulled into the compound disappearing out of sight, leaving just the two of them standing outside the gate.

“yes I do need a new maid, but I'll keep firing them if they can't conform to the standards of this house", she said with a slight commanding tone, I knew that this was my opportunity, and I wasn't going to miss it, I summoned all the courage that I had within me and walked up to them before they went inside, the gate.

“good afternoon everyone, I hear you are in need of a maid, I'd like to fill in that position" I said timidly, I felt little cimlated to them, it made me feel weak, but what was I to do I needed this job, “you were eaves dropping on a private conversation" she said with slight anger brewing in her voice, I had already ruined my chances of getting the job i just felt sad, “im sorry ma'am but it just happened that by chance I happened to overhear your conversation, it may seem like eaves dropping even though you weren't exactly lowering your voice I'd call that fate".

I said as she just looked at me like she was evaluating me, “you are gutsy ilike that come in here tomorrow and let's see what you can do, if you are fit for the job. As she said those words I gave a wholesome smile, never in my wildest dreams did I expect what happened the next day to happen.

My mom had given me a long sermon, in the name of blessing me and preparing me for my new job, I left the house with a heart felt hug and headed to the Braileys mansion, and as soon as I get there the first thing that Mrs Brailey said to me was “you are late" I was baffled because we never agrees upon a specific time period to arrive here.

I still glances at my watch slightly and saw that the time was 7:15 am I started wondering the time that she wanted me to get here, she pulled out a broom and some other cleaning materials, “the fire place needs some good scrubbing, come in don't dawlde" she said as they both got to the hearth, “make sure that all all of this isn't here when I get back" she just said simply and I nodded.

She took steady strides and left the room, I was all alone cleaning, I noticed that tere were other maids in the building but they were stationed in all other parts of the house, a red head fair lady walked up to me as I was alone doing the cleaning, “you must be the new maid I'm charlie what's your name?" She said with a friendly voice.

I didn't see any harm in replying “im sonnet" I said trying to smole casually, but before she could say anything more we heard the crashing down of plates, “mrs Brailey is going to rain down hell fire on the person that broke her fancy glasses, i didn't wanna get nagged by Mrs Brailey so then and there I made a resolve to not get in her bad side.

I was covered with cinders and ash as I lifted some of the woods there to sweep off the excessive ash form the fireplace, when I heard footsteps of someone walking down the stairs, they were a slow and gently strides so I knew that it was a man, so I just assumed that it was her husband.

But I noticed that Charlie's had gotten giddy with excitement making me wonder who the intruder was. I finally lifted up my head, to behold a sight that I didn't think I was going to see today. A talk man walking down thw stairs, calmly and steadily with one arm in his pocket, and the other was sliding through his phone screen.

I wondered who he was but I didn't wanna ask, “that is the only reason that made working here bearable" charlie said staring at the figure of the guy as he was still walking bye, “ that's Ashton Braileys, mrs Braileys only child, and hair to the entire wealth of the Braileys"

She said with a really wry smile, he was good looking no doubt but still, I didn't see what made him so special. I continued doing my work.

Ashton Baileys pov

I just came down from my room after having a shower, I had nothing at the moment to do so I decided to take a walk around the house, I walked down the stairs and I saw a beauty that I have never seen before, I liked to draw as my hobby, I had a bit of what they were could say writer's block but not for writing, but drawing, I had nothing to draw, well that was until I saw her.

I walked towards my vantage point in our compound it was the roof of a security house situated not to far from the main house, what I loved about it was that I could see every single part of the house without being seen, I watched her cleaning the house while smiling, it was something that I had never seen before who enjoys cleaning, I thought within me.

I got out my sketch book and my pencil and started drawing her, I was looking at every detail in her face, she was really beautiful, and appealing to look at, after I had made a line on the piece of paper, outlining her face, I focused my gaze back on her and to my surprise she was staring keenly at me....
