Taming the Ruthless Alpha King

KICKED OUT OF THE MANSION

JAMIE HEARTS’s POV

I leaned against the wall and stared at the spotless lobby, which I was doing all day long due to the punishment the head maid gave me. I was soaking in sweat because of desperately cleaning and making the lobby as spotless as possible. Of course, I don’t want to repeat all these things just because I didn’t meet the head maid’s standards. As I looked around, I saw that the whole floor was clean and I felt satisfied because of what I had done.

“Finally…” I whispered while catching my breath.

For starters, this was a very tiring day for me. I stretched out my arms and back after a very tiring chore. Then, one by one, I brought back the things I used to their proper places. I hope the head maid will not be too harsh-headed on me just because I left her a bad impression, as she said earlier. After finishing the task, I tried to look for the head maid to tell her that I had already finished sweeping the floor and making it spotless, just like what she wanted me to do. But I couldn’t find her anywhere. I got confused because the whole mansion was too big for me. I still didn’t know the places inside here. I checked my watch and realized that it was already 2:30 p.m. I got shocked because of that. So I’ve been cleaning the lobby that long?

I decided to roam around the place and look for the head maid since I had to tell her about the task. But as much as I looked for her, I couldn’t find her.

While walking around the mansion, I saw the maids come running. They were panicking and were on their way somewhere. So I approached one of them.

“E-Excuse me, what’s going on?” I asked.

“Come with us! The master needs to get his lunch. So we needed help with serving his meal in the dining room,” She replied.

Innocently, I followed what she told me. Then, as we arrived in the kitchen, I was amazed by how big the kitchen was. The place was like a restaurant. There were maids waiting for the plates to be served. I also saw a chef cooking food. He’s also wearing his uniform as a chef. While observing what was going on, I just shook my head because I couldn’t believe that this place really exists in a house like this. As if I was inside a 5-star restaurant! And honestly, I didn’t know what I would do next because of the whole sight.

Suddenly, I saw the head maid ring the bell. “Everyone, get ready! The master is on his way to the dining room. We should bring his food already. Chop! Chop!” She said, alerting everyone.

Each maid brought their own tray to bring to the dining room. So, since I had no idea about what I would do, I grabbed a tray also and followed them.

As we entered the dining room, each of us carried a tray, and put the plates on the long table. Then I noticed that the room had one chair only. He’s going to eat at this very long table, alone?

All of us lined up and waited for the master to arrive. As soon as he finally entered the room, all of us looked down and just felt his presence inside the room. Then he sat down on his seat. He was about to say something when the head maid approached him.

“Master, your main course will be served right now before we leave. I’ll just call the maid who will bring it to you,” the head maid said. I heard what she was saying because I was near the seat of the master.

The master remained silent and waited for the main course. He already had a lot of food on his table and still, did he still have this main course for him? How big was his stomach, anyway, to consume everything on the plates? I also noticed that it was already 3 p.m. and he was just about to eat his lunch. Is he like this always?

“Please welcome, the main course!” The head maid introduced the food to the master. Then I saw a maid carrying a big plate with a steel cover.

She was on her way to the master's and was in the middle of walking when she suddenly slipped. Then the plate fell, which made the food scattered on the floor. The maid was also lying on the floor because she wanted to catch and save the food from falling but she failed. And because of that, the smell of the food surrounded the whole dining room.

Suddenly, I heard the maid crying. Then she tried to clean all the mess, including the pieces of the broken plate on the floor. All of us were quiet because of what happened. I couldn’t take the momentum anymore. So I went running to her and started helping her clean the mess. I noticed that her hands were shaking while cleaning.

“Don’t worry. I’ll help you,” I whispered.

Then she started shaking her head. “You shouldn’t. Please go back to the line,” She replied while crying.

“I can’t. I’m going to help you. So stop crying. It’s not your fault,” I replied.

We were in the middle of cleaning when suddenly all of us got startled because of the loud harsh tap on the table.

“You, new one. Go back to your line and stop making commotions,” The head maid whispered with gritted teeth. But I just ignored her because I desperately wanted to help the other maid.

“Go back to your line…”

I stopped what I was doing when I heard the master speak. I knew he was talking to me. So I faced him.

“Master, I was just helping…”

“Stop talking back!” He exclaimed and tapped the table angrily.

Because of that, I instantly became silent and never said another word. But I continued helping the maid.

“Please, stop doing this. The master would get mad at you even more if you did this,” she said, who looked at me worriedly.

So I stood up and went to the line where I should be. The master looked at me irritatingly and turned his eyes toward the maid who had ruined his meal.

“Stand up…” He demanded.

So the maid stood up just like he said. Right now, she was sobbing. I pity her because she would get scolded just because she slipped. But she didn’t want that to happen either. I hope the master should at least understand the situation.

“Didn’t you realize that was my favorite food? You put everything to waste!” the master exclaimed. His tone was full of anger. And the ironic thing was it was just for food.

“M-Master, please don’t fire me. I need this job.”

The maid kneeled down and looked at the master while sobbing and begging. The master looked at her with a cold reaction. “You are such an unlucky one,” the master replied. The maid was still crying at that moment. Then the master turned to the head maid.

“Fire her,” the master said.

My eyes widened because of what he said. The maid sobbed loudly because of that, but the master pushed her away and walked away.

“What?” I said while looking at him from behind.

The master stopped walking because of what I said. Then he turned to me with a look of disbelief. So I stepped forward. The head maid tried to pull my wrist back to my line. But I just ignored her and tapped her hand. Then I faced the master and looked at him straight in his eyes.

“Why do you have to fire her? You know that what happened was just an accident. Don’t you even consider giving her a second chance?” I said while looking at him.

The master looked at me and scoffed in disbelief. “Who the hell you think you are?”

I raised an eyebrow while looking at him. “Yes, I’m nobody. But even servants have hearts! We’re doing our best to please you here in order for us to earn and help our family. Then, with just one mistake and accident, you’ll throw us away like that? You are very ruthless!” I exclaimed.

He gave me a shocked expression because of what I said. Then he became silent for a while and walked closer to me. He crossed his arms and looked at me from head to toe.

“What do you want, then?” He asked while looking at me.

“Give her another chance,” I replied, and looked at him without even looking away.

The master looked at the maid who was still kneeling on the floor and turned his eyes toward me. Then he smirked after that and replied, “If I’ll give her another chance. I would fire you instead. Would you want that?” He said while raising an eyebrow.

After what he said, I suddenly got reminded of the reason why I had to pursue this chance of staying in the mansion. This was my first day and I had hopes already of finally helping my family with a high range of salary. But it looks like everything will be gone for good now. Then I turned my eyes toward the maid whom he had scolded earlier. She looked at me with teary eyes. Then I closed my eyes and sighed.

I removed my apron and put it on the table. Then I faced him. “Deal. Give her the chance. I’ll go,”

Before he could say another word, I left the place and never looked back.

DWIGHT HUDSON’s POV

Who the hell was that woman and she had the confidence to speak to me like that? I am the master of this mansion, and she showed no fear of me?

The head maid approached me after that. “Master, what do you want me to do with this maid?” She asked. I looked at her and saw the maid crying prematurely. I shook my head and sighed.

“Just give her punishment,” I replied.

“Master, you won’t fire her?” She asked.

I looked at the head maid irritatingly and replied, “Didn’t you hear what I said?”

Because of that, she bowed her head and nodded. Then I looked at the way where the other one went.

“Who was that one who dared to speak to me?” I asked.

“She’s Jamie Hearst, master,” she replied.

As soon as I heard her name, I clenched my fist. That was such a stubborn woman!

“Will we let her go?” The head maid asked.

I sighed and left the place. I have already lost my appetite.

I was walking all the way back to my room when I heard my phone ring. Then I saw Alexander’s number again. What does he want from me? I’m not in the mood for playing around this time!

“What?” I asked as soon as I answered the call.

“Ooh, looks like you’re having a bad mood right now, huh?” He replied.

“Spit it out. What is it?” I said.

“I believe you’re in the mansion. Fred told me that I wouldn’t come today. I’m on my way there,” he replied.

I sighed and closed my eyes because of the bad news. But after that, I realized something.

“Buy me food. I haven't eaten yet,” I replied. Then I hung up the call before he could say anything.

JAMIE HEART’S POV

I ran as fast as I could after what happened. Who do I think I was? He asked. Well, I am Jamie Hearst! The eldest daughter of my family. If he thinks that he could do anything like this just because he’s the owner of the mansion and he’s the so-called “Master”. Then, he’s wrong! Yes, we’re his servants. But we don’t deserve to be treated and degraded unfairly just because of a reasonable accident! I’d rather look for another job than be treated like garbage!

I changed clothes and put the uniform back in the closet where the head maid brought it. Then I wore my sling bag and decided to leave the place. I went out from the main entrance and was about to proceed to the main gate when a car parked in front of me. The door went open and I saw a man wearing sunglasses with a brown jacket and a white top.

“Hi, Miss,” he said while smiling.

I just looked at him and continued walking after that. I’m not in the mood to talk to strangers right now. I proceeded to the main gate and waved goodbye to the guards.

“Thanks for letting me stay here for a while. I loved the place. But the owner was unlovable! I hate him!” I said.

The guards looked at me with disbelief and weren’t able to say anything. Well, I don’t expect them to talk back either. I just want to let them know that their boss was such a jerk!
