A maid to the ruthless billionaire

Chapter Five

I still can't believe what the mother said in reply, I mean, twelve months which is equivalent to a year, mother was still happy with it.

"Okay son, I would definitely wait till then. Thanks for assuring me son." Mother said joyfully.

He hung up and dropped the phone.

Waow, what a tenderhearted mother, a year for the preparation of marriage and she accepted it just like that. Not even a year for having grand kids, and she just accepted it that way, what if after that year, he decided to wait five years before having kids. Well who knows whatever their convenant might be.

"Is the food ready?"I asked one of the chef.

"Yes. I will get back to you in two minutes." He said as he made a leave for the kitchen to get the food.

I waited for that two minutes as he said and he was back already. He handover the food to me and I left for his office. I was actually glad I was going to talk to him again, even if it would lead to insult, at least, it does somethings in my body system.

As I was going, not knowing water spilled on the floor while one of the staff had gone to take mopping stick to clear it, I stepped on the water and I slipped, I wouldn't have if we were allowed to wear some kind of shoes that fitted tiles but he rejected that it wouldn't be attractive if we wore such, so he instructed us to always wear all these slippery shoes, always attractive though, I mean, it is very beautiful, so we had no choice than to wear such, although, ever since I started the job, it had had no bad effect on anyone, why me this time around?

I slipped and hit my head, on hearing this, the whole place was more than quite, my boss was shocked as well, he quickly came out, he wouldn't have cared but at least it is in his company, he came out shocked to see me, I was embarrassed.

"What the hell! Why can't you just for once be perfect, all you could do is just to abolish things in this company, where the hell is this coming from?."He said angrily. "And as from today, she shouldn't serve me anymore, I mean, one who is not competent should not be around me.."He added.

Why?! This time around my boss is about acting nice to me and suddenly this is happening, he spoke well to me earlier and this silly water f****d everything up. I do not even know if they way he reacted earlier was just a coincidence, probably his mood was too good. How would I just understand this?

Of course I abolish things, sometimes, at the end of the month, I might not collect a dime as I would have used it in replacement for the things I abolish.

"Uh..uh..I.. am so sorry. I didn't mean to."I said stammering.

"You should have meant to do it, I i***t!" He said,"hey, you, get me another meal."He added as he left for his office.

That was another staff he pointed at and sent him message. I would have done many things to make things right back but he would not even give any face. I stood up and went down to the restroom to get myself cleaned, just gracefully, two uniforms were distributed to us on the first day of our resumption. I cleaned myself and wore another uniform. I felt embarrassed as I got out from the restroom. As I was passing by, all eyes were just on me.

I was done cleaning for the day, and after cleaning, I was to pass message round the hotel, but now that I offended Nathan already, no much work for me today. I guess I was supposed to be happy, right? But no, at least talking to him makes me feel special, even with the insult. I was even glad that I found favor in his sight today but it all went blank again.

I just went to my post, to settle down and started thinking of what and what next to do.

I lived in the hotel because I was homeless, no home, no family, nothing nothing, just me and myself. If I was calculative, that year was my fourth year being in that hotel, living there. ' I wish u could get favor in his sight once again, at least,' I said to myself. But how would this even be possible, he never liked me for once. The fact that he acted nice earlier, to me, I do not think it was intentional though because it never happened. First time.

Well, I know you would be thinking if I wasn't collecting salary, of course, I was but I save a lot, that's probably why I haven't been taking good care of myself.

One of the messengers was sent to Nathan, I was supposed to be sent, but the program changed.

"Okay, so, tell Michelle to come."On hearing this, the messenger was surprised, although this time was close to the evening while the incident happened in the morning.

"Alright." She then got out from his office, coming down straight to me where I was. "Michelle, you were asked to come." This moment, it was obvious she was jealous. Dies this mean that they were happy with the incident earlier today? The really do loved it the way he was always mad at me? The jealousy was written all over her face. Whatever, if they do, and if they do not, it doesn't change anything.

Wait, did I just hear her call my name? If I were with someone else, I would have thought she meant the discussion with the other person, but this wasn't. I was the only one sitting. "Okay." I do not know what word to qualify me because I was shocked, surprised, amazed, scared, happy. Of course I was shocked because, I never knew that he would want to see me in months time and I was scared because of his insult everytime, and happy because I wanted to speak with him again.

I sluggishly stood up because right now, I do not know what I was going to face, whether it was good or reversed is the case. I left for his office. On getting there, he was on a call and I wouldn't want to interrupt so it wouldn't add salt to the injury. I stood for a while, waiting for him to drop his phone so I could come in. I waited for so long, if I could guess the time interval, it was more than twenty minutes. After some minutes, I was at this point tired of standing, then I made decision of opening the door, at least, he could even tell if I was to come back or wait again, or just tell me to sit.

Then I opened the door..

I couldn't still believe what my eyes saw, as I entered, he ended the call with the person including, 'let me call you back'

He dropped this phone, "are you just coming now? It's been past thirty minutes I sent for you."

"I was at the door though, but I discovered you were making call, so I decided not to interrupt."

"And now? Haven't you? I mean.. did you not just interrupt?"

"Uhhh..."

"Me that sent for you knows the reason I did. When you came in now, I dropped the phone. Why? This was because I did sent for you."

"I'm sorry, such won't repeat itself."

Wait, did I just talk boldly with Nathan? Amazing! Isn't it? Ever since I knew him, I would always stammer while talking to him. He was to harsh, no free movement with him. So, this is me now, speaking to my boss like this. Although I almost stammered but at least it was different from every other discussion.

He then sat me down and talked to me alot, advised me about how I could live my life.

This took more than an hour. Although the words were the ones I needed most. Words of encouragement. It really did alot even at that moment. It geared me up, it repaired the damaged soul in me. This was the second time I felt I was in another realm.

"Do you have a fiance?"

This time, I do not know if I were to lie or just tell the truth.

"No."

"Oh okay, waow. But why?"

"You know I have been in this hotel for years now and I live here, I haven't been going out even to at least hang out. My off days, I spend it in the hotel premises. So, I think that was what might be delaying it."

"So you mean, none of the customers asked you out."

"They did, but were all married men."

"Oh okay. Well, if I heard you right, you don't hang out?"

"Yes."

"Do you mind if we go on a date tonight? As it is your off tonight."

This sounded like a combination of twenty types of bell rung at the same time. At this point, I couldn't get myself anymore. Was I the one hearing this or I was just imagining. Was this really coming from Nathan? What would I tell everyone if they see us together. If Ellah sees me, she might even plan to kill me, what about Sandra? That one that even loves him with everything. And what if someone tells his mom? Not even with rich ladies but a maid.

"Yes."

"Why?"
