Clara's pov
We stopped there once again not going any further because he had a meeting to attend, the next following days were filled with much cleaning.
“We're going to have guests here, it's been a while so we have to make sure that the entire place is spotless!” the headmaid said, before leaving me in the banquet hall.
I propped both hands on my waist surveying the work before me and a heavy side traveled past my lips.
The hall was massive, stretched out like a miniature ball room, I was already sweating thinking of how exhausting it would be to clean this entire place but eventually I reached for the mop stick with fresh determination planted in my heart.
I had to build up a new life for myself.
If I can prove to Alpha Killian how hardworking I am maybe he'll even give me a raise and soon enough I'll be able to get a better job and before I know it they'll look like all those years I wasted on Josh never even happened.
A smile wrapped around my face and I began to mop switching the mop stick over the floor whistling a little tune to myself as time passed by, I eventually got bored and even whistling didn't distract me from the knowledge that it was taking forever. I wiped off the sweats from my head with a handkerchief from the pocket of my maid outfit when I heard footsteps behind me my entire body became stiff and then relaxed as a familiar voice followed the footsteps.
“Clara…” his deep voice caressed my name, “I came to check how far you've gone,” he said and I turned around holding the mop stick above the ground as small droplets fell.
He was dressed in a casual shirt and pants about three of the first buttons were not in use, every part of him screamed perfection like he just rolled out of bed and picked out the first thing he saw yet, he still managed to look like a model.
“It's going well I should be done in about half an hour or so…” I said as I returned back to mopping again, I thought he would leave afterwards but I could still sense his presence behind me I stopped once more and gave him my attention.
“Is there something wrong? Alpha Killian you've been standing there for a while. Is it that you don't like the way I am cleaning the banquet hall?
I asked this question rather flippantly but inwardly I was so worried that he would actually say that he didn't like the way I was cleaning up and tell me to redo it if he did I might just pass out and faint from that request alone. Even though I was panicking, I made sure that my expression was neutral and unreadable or at least it didn't reveal what I was thinking in the inside of my mind.
“Don't worry you're doing a good job it's just that I've gone through the list of chores that needs to be done any preparation for the banquet and from the looks of things I don't think both you and the head maid will be able to do it before the deadline,” he was right about that the mansion was huge and it's not like we were cleaning every part of it but just places that the guest were most likely to frolic in.
As the most important figure in Twilight City it was only expected that his guest will be the creme de La creme of society and the deserved nothing less than the best.
All of that, the fact that they were going to show up probably dressed to the nines because it had been a long time since alpha Killian threw a party of any kind.
“I'll try to be a bit faster I'm so sorry Alpha Killian,” I said to him with an apologetic bow.
It was crazy how things would be between the two of us by the time he was done satisfying some of his needs and mine, both of us were just going to go back to our normal routine as employer and employee without discussing how complicated our relationship has become overnight.
“There's no need to apologize to me I know that this is a lot of work I think I'll find a way to lessen it for both you and the head maid. after all the last thing I would want is for both of you to burn out from stress,”
I paused momentarily I never knew that he had such a caring side to him, that I took him as a cold aloof monster but I just didn't assume that he had so much concern for his servants in his heart and for a moment it's warmed me up before I noticed that he was staring and looked away.
“All right alpha Killian if that's all I'll get back to moping,”
I was about to do just that before I felt the warmth of his chest pressed against my back.
“But what if it's not?” He said and his hands were on my waist.
“Alpha Killian…we're…”
“Don't worry I'll be fast about it…”
“But what if the head maid comes and-”
“Nothing is going to happen she went shopping and she won't be back for another 3 hours…” he gathered up the hem of my dress confidently and I gulped.
“But what if something happens and she comes in earlier than that? If she sees the two of us then–”
“It seems you are forgetting something…” he said as he moved my cotton underwear back in front with his fingers as they were the only things protecting me from his raw touch.
His other hand found my b**b
“I'm the boss here,”
