Chapter 2 I look up to see who had saved me and behold it was Mr Ethan Connor! I gasped,who was I expecting i thought to my self?,he is the only one who lives here aside the house keeper..It is not enough that you came late on your second day working here,you also were so clumsy to ruin my dress with your stench! I heard him thundered, this sudden jolt, shattered the glassy surface of my thoughts and snapped me back to reality. I am so sorry sir i said bowing my head, i have my breakfast by Eight he said,i rushed to the kitchen unsure of what to prepare as i had not had time to go through the instruction emailed to me,i served him scrambled eggs and sausages and started cleaning,hoping to be done early enough so i can make good use of the rest of the day and apply as a bar attendant during the night. He tasted a spoon and his face lit up in amusement,you cook well he complimented with a bright look making me wonder if he wasn't the same man who just yelled at me for tripping, “people can be strange"i murmured, did you say something? I heard him asked and i shook my head telling him ‘no'.it was three in the afternoon and i received an email approving my application to work as a bar attendant,i let out a whoop of excitement,atleast today is turning out to be better than yesterday,i said to myself, giving my self some sense of hope. I came back before Sarah and some minutes later,she was back, hugging me from behind while i was cooking,she took her shower and joined me in cooking. I fixed my eyes on my own reflection in the mirror,my white blouse was crisp and tailored, hugging my torso tightly, showcasing my ample bust. The buttons strained slightly,as if threatening to burst open at any moment. The black mini skirt hugged my thighs, showcasing my toned straight legs,my blonde hair fell down my back in loose waves. You are a goddess babe! Sarah screamed, you're going to attract customers at the bar,hurry up let us head over to work. I held a white towel polishing a mug,the sounds of the bar swirled around me,the clicks of glasses,the hum of conversations, and the frequent burst of laughter,the smell of beer and faint tang od peanuts filled the air. I hate the bar, it is too noisy, it is not my kind of place to be,if not for the need of money, there is no way i will be found in the bar,i whispered to my friend, we are poor and in need,poor people do not have a choice, Sarah whispered back and we both burst out a loud laughter. Sarah,hand me the beer beside you,i called out to but she seemed to be lost, looking at something in the distance. Her mouth hung open,her lips parted in a silent gasp. Her gaze was transfixed as if she had just seen a ghost. Sarah! I yelled,bringing her back to reality,is it not too early to fall in love? It's our first day working here,i said teasing her. Is that not your boss? She yelled back at me. I froze, you mean Ethan Connor? I asked her, not expecting a response because i could also see him. Ethan's pov I walked majestically into the bar, adjusting my suit and ran my hand through my hair, making it lay sleekly to my back. Handling the company without an assistant has been so much on me,but i can not risk having an assistant,i have been betrayed on several occasions and have lost trust in people. I walked straight to the bartender. As i approached,i noticed the bartender and was shocked to realize she was my maid in front of me,i was dumbfounded,she looks different,how is that i have never noticed how beautiful she is. Her hair was always packed up in a ponytail and wrapped round, forming the shape of a bun,her clothes too, she never wore an outfit that revealed her curves. Her piercing green eyes and her blonde hair in loose wave, catching my attention. Our gaze met, and i felt a sudden jolt. I struggled to find my voice and swallowed hard, finally pulling myself together,i ordered, “whiskey,on the rocks, please " I took a sip, the whiskey burned my throat,but my attention remained fixed on her,i ordered more and more whiskey to clear the thought of her out of my mind. Never should i be caught falling and going crazy ovdr a common maid,my compon maid,i said to myself, boosting my confidence and nursing my pride.i kept ordering for more whiskey until i was drunk ... Emily Gray's pov Our gaze met and i wondered why he was kept stealing glances at me, i waved the thought. I kept serving him as he kept requesting for more, i was puzzled and try to think of what must have made him so sad that he decided to drown himself with alcohol, he had everything anyone would ever wished for,the perfect model like girlfriend, a parent who had worked hard for him and handed the company over to him before they died,i kept the thoughts to myself because i dare not ask him the reason he was trying to get drunk with his own money,i should mind my business and focus on the reason I'm here,if i shown such concern and stopped every other customer from drinking themselves to stupor, then I'm about to close down the bar,i said to myself. As the night wore on,the bar grew more crowded. I expertly juggled multiple orders and conversations with my friend. A particular man approached me,he was tall,burly figure with a loud laugh and a sloppy grin. He had been nursing a whiskey on the rocks for hours, and he had had too many. As i poured a drink for another customer,the drunk man stumbled towards me,his eyes fixed on me with a leering gaze.“ Hey love," he slurred,his voice dripping with lust.“How about you pour me another drinklust.“How to the drunk man,but it seemed to have fallen on deaf ears as he pulled my hands , pulling me closer to him. But before things could escalate further,a figure emerged from the crowd A tall, broad shouldered man with piercing green eyes and a strong jawline stepped forward,his gaze fixed instantly on the drunk man.“ step away from my woman,i think you have had enough for tonight" he said,his voice firm but calm...
