Chapter 2 - His Glance..

Jen

I heard someone walking towards us calling 

"hey, young lady I was waiting for you". It was none other than Ms Aggie. I introduced myself so she dont have to call me young lady. " Hi Ms Aggie sorry for keeping you wait and I was looking for you but I accidentally bumped to him. Well, Im Jenice and you can call me Jen". She handed me the schedule that she prepared and said " Nice meeting you Jen. Hello Marion could you please excuse us?", said Ms Aggie while she wrapped her arm around my shoulder and directing me to the left side. "Jen please go through your schedule carefully and make no mistake as you're going to work for Mrs Robinson's daughter Ms Merlinda. She's in her office having some important meeting now and I will take you to her tomorrow morning. Let me break down the tasks that you had to do everyday. You'll need to organise her closet, check her gym equipment, stock up her health drinks and snacks, pack up her make up tools and her clothes as listed in other paper since she preferred to bring some of the makeup tools and clothes with her while travelling. Once you have done all the task,you may report it to Ms Merlinda's personal assistant". " I thought I will be helping Mrs Steel in the kitchen" I said while looking at the papers. "Its Mrs Robinson's decision to let you work for Ms Merlinda. Do you have any objection to it" said Miss Aggie while folding her hand across her chest. I just realized that I said things that I'm not supposed to say when someone offering me an opportunity to work. I put wide smile on my face and said " Definitely not! I mean I just love to do all these things and I really appreciate your help". Ms Aggie smiled at me and told me that Mrs Robinson want me to have some free time to focus on my studies as well since I will only get one and half days off each week. Mrs Robinson seems to be a good person but I'm not take advantage of her kindness. Finally, Ms Aggie showed me my room and it was spacious with a window. A single bed was placed beside the window and a small closet provided to hang my clothes in.  It was good than I expected. Mrs Steel came in after sometimes and she told me that she will see me tomorrow. After she left the room, I went to the window and take a look. The view was directed to the garden and it was surrounded by beautiful flowers. As I was looking at the flowers, I felt someone is watching me and my eyes automatically move to the other side. It was Marion. He was looking at me while having conversation with the other man standing infront of him. My heart began to beat fast as my eyes met his. His stare made all the butterflies fly in my stomach. I turn away from the window as I was placing my hands on my chest and I felt my heartbeat. It was so fast and I can't breath as I used to. This feeling is too mew to me and it felt so good. I turn back again but he wasn't there. So I move myself to the attached bathroom to take shower. I take off my clothes and turned on the shower. As the water flow from my head to my skin,  I closed my eyes and Marion's face appeared. I felt some kind of excitement arise I see his face but my mama's words reminded me that I should not date anyone while I'm still in University. I brush up the water from my face and buried all the feelings inside of me. After awhile I wrapped myself in a towel and changed into a decent clothes. My long black hair was still wet and mama advised me not to use hairdryer since it's heat will damage my hair. So I used my towel to dry my hair and left it free. Suddenly I heard a knock from my room door and I rushed to open the door while yelling "I'm coming". It was Ms Aggie she asked me to take my meals in the pantry which was prepared for the workers. I followed Ms Aggie to the pantry while put my head down to avoid seeing Marion again. While I was passing the dining room, I can sense that someone is watching me but I keep looking down and follow Ms Aggie's footsteps. Once I enter the pantry room my heart started to beat fast and I heard someone excitedly said "Wow you're hair is too long". She has short blonde hair and she was cute."Hey Repunzel, I'm Bella and I'm kitchen helper.I heard so many things about you from

Mrs Steel". I didn't expect to hear this but it made me miss Mrs Steel even more and I can't wait to see her around. " Hey, I'm Jenice and call me Jen just Jen" I chuckled.
