Unexpected love

Ethan’s new maid

It was 6 am, Lily didn't usually work on weekends but she had to do it to earn more, Lily was so stressed, she earned little from her bread business which wasn't always enough for her, Lily always thought of having another job so that the bread business could just be a side hustle but nothing came to her mind, she didn't finish school so people didn't hire her as they taught she was an illiterate, but Lily was a quite impressive girl.

Since no one decided to hire Lily, she decided to go look for a job as a maid for wealthy people, “that's what Mary those and she's doing far better than me”, Lily thought, she kept on contemplating till she finally decided to look for a job that very weekend.

She took her bath and wore a simple blue dress with flower designs at the base of the dress, the dress was so simple that she could not afford high-quality wear, the dress was knee length and complemented her fair skin, it slightly brought out her curves, the blue dress brought out her eyes, she packed her blonde hair upwards while some strands fell towards her ears, she looked so simple but pretty, she had a well-defined jawline and a symmetrical face, Lily was a beautiful lady both inside and out, but because she’s a bread Hawker people didn't find her attractive, she never had time for her self, her hair was always messed up and cloths she put on had stains of dough or flour on them, her skin had slight scares making her look rugged. After she was done dressing, she left in search of a job, it was 7 a.m. already.

The first house she went into didn't hire her because she didn't catch their fancy, they needed educated servants.

She went to a few others who insulted and called her dirty because of the scars on her skin, Lily got tired and decided to take a break, she bought food from the road, and after eating she continued to search, she didn't want to give up as she never saw it as an option, she had already gotten tired after walking from one house to another.

Just as she wanted to call it a day, there was a nice house across the street, the building was tall and the compound had up to four cars inside. She walked towards the house and decided to try her luck… as she stepped into the house she knocked at the door, and a beautiful lady came to answer, “Gooday, how may I help you ?” the lady said, “Hello, please am looking for a job, as a maid, am good at chores”, Lily responded, the Lady used her eyes to study Lily and then asked her to come in and take a sit, the Lady went upstairs to bring the chief maid, the chief maid started asking questions and Lily gave answers to them, it went well for her so far.

Suddenly someone came into the living room, “Get me a cup of water” he said, Lily looked to see who it was, she was shocked when she saw the man from the other day she wanted to sell bread to (Ethan ). “What is he doing here!, is this his house, oh my God what am I going to do now”, she thought, a maid got water for him and as he was gulping the water, he looked in the direction Lily was and didn't take it off, Lily was scared that he wouldn't give her the job after the incident that happened between them.

Ethan thought she looked familiar, he walked up to them and asked the chief maid who she was, “ she came looking for a job Sir “ she replied with her head slightly facing downwards, “Have we met before? you look familiar “ Ethan said, Lily was relieved that he didn't remember. “No sir, I don't think we have met before “ she replied nervously, Ethan then nodded his head and turned to climb the stairs to his room, Lily sighed relieved, and turned to the chief maid to continue, “Waaaaittttt” Ethan said as he climbed down the stairs in a hurry, “you are the same girl that threw bread on me the other day!!” he yelled everyone came out to see what the commotion was from..” what's going on now” Marian murmured to herself as she rolled her eyes.

Lily stood up immediately looking downwards,” am sorry if I made you feel discomfort that day sir,” Lily said as she turned her face to look at Ethan, Ethan looked at her as well and was mesmerized, she had such beautiful eyes that made him feel a kind of way, whatever the feeling has he liked it but tried not to loose focus, “sir am sorry, I didn't know to send her leaving now” the chief maid begged, Ethan always wanted to teach her a lesson because of the embarrassment she caused him, he saw it as an opportunity to teach her a lesson,” No, it's fine, she's hired, but as my maid, she won't serve another person in this house apart from me, hopes am clear?” he said looking at Mariam and her family, “But sir, you already have your maid,” the chief maid said,” put her in the kitchen, resume work tomorrow, “ he said to Lily and left for his room.

Lily still shocked at what was happening thanked the chief maid and hurriedly left the building. “The amount of disrespect he has,” Sandra, Mariam's daughter said and went back to her room, Mariam thought of ways to eliminate Ethan, even his presence made her feel bothered, she wanted her son to take over no matter what, she saw it as her mission to do so.

As early as 5:30 a.m., Lily woke and got dressed, she packed in some leftover bread so she could have while on her new job, and then she took a taxi to Ethan's house, when she got there cleaners were outside sweeping and tiding the compound, she greeted then and went ahead to hit the doorbell, the chief maid opened the door,” you are late!” she yelled in a low voice,” Really?, oh my, am sorry I was stuck in traf… “Before Lily could finish her sentence the chief maid interrupted, “Look Lily, sir doesn’t care to know why you are late, you should be here on time to wake him up, prepare his bath, make breakfast for him, and do as he tells you to, his really grumpy so don’t disrespect or look him in the eye when he's talking to you .. you are a common maid so it’s not allowed, you be in the house even when he goes to work, when he back from work, or anywhere at all, you are to welcome him and take his bags .. you stay in the house Until he dismisses you for the day if you can't keep up with coming early then you'll have to move in with the other maids, tho sir’s maid gets her own room, so I you don't want that come as early as 5:30 latest, I hope you understand Lily?”, the chief maid said as she gave Lily a tore around the house the house, Lily hesitated,” If I stay here always from morning till daybreak, I won't have time to bake, oh my, that means I'd have to give up baking,” Lily thought to herself.

Lily had to choose between baking and her new job, there would be more income in her new job so what's the point of choosing baking over it, I might as well have to move in to avoid being late unless Sir will sack me and It could save money for me as well, she thought, “ chief maid, when can I move in if I eventually wanted to?” she asked, “You should move in tomorrow, it's better, well you should better get to work, “the chief maid said as she left.

Lily dropped her things in the maiden’s room and went up to meet her boss, she walked to the door slowly, she was nervous maybe because it was likely her first day she thought, she hesitated till she gathered courage and knocked, she didn't get any response so she continued knocking at the door, “who is it!”, Ethan yelled which made Lily’s heart jump as she walked into the room,” Good morning Sir “ Lily said trying to sound confident, then looked up at Ethan, and her eyes widened when she noticed that Ethan was naked, he only had a sheet covering one of legs and p***s, his p***s stood upright, she freaked out but tried her best to hold it together and looked downwards. Maids Ethan had before Lily all witnessed him naked not once nor twice and they dared not talk about it to anyone, Ethan saw it was her and sighed, “Well get to work! “, Lily was nervous but tried her best to pull herself together.

Lily went into his bathroom to prepare his bath, as the chief maid said he preferred his bath hot, Lily was done and then walked into the room “Sir am done preparing your bath” Lily announced then Ethan stood up from the bed and this time nothing was left on his body, Lily saw him fully naked and immediately shut her eyes, Ethan noticed her behavior and walked up to her, “ Are you scared? haven't you seen a naked man before? , well you better get used to it, the maids I had before loved it and the ones who didn't were sluttered so you better get used to it “ Ethan said with a smirk on his face and went into the bathroom.
