Chapter 25 - THIS TIME IS A MAID?

Irene, who was now standing in the mini office in the villa, looked at the face she knew very well.  Her face was now full of a thousand and one questions.  But, when she thinks about what happen yesterday clearly, she just swallows that many questions.  As she knows, it's not worth to ask, when that man's intention is clear as crystal.

"No wonder..."  She said as she let out her breath.  Doesn't know how to apply her emotion now.

Looking at Irene that just stood like a statue and not greeting him yet, Victor decides to break the silence between them.

"What a coincidence Miss Irene.  I don't know you apply for the job in my house this time."  Victor said, sound like reading a script.  Also, failing to cover his, truly happy face when his eyes clash with her.  Clearly that is not his usual behavior.

"Are you sure this is merely coincidence?  You're bad with acting after all...  Mr. Victor."  Irene finally said her doubts.  She even can swear to God that this is definitely a setup, and will not get struck by the lightning because of her swear.

"What do you mean Miss Irene?"  Victor keeps this all formal.  At least for now.

"This is clearly fated that brings us together.  Don't you think so?  My employee handles out so many posters and you, out of millions of people out there, happen to notice one.  That's clearly a miracle."  Victor tries to avoid Irene detection.

But it's too late. Irene is not that stupid to know these things.  She got a sharp gifted sense after all.  Though, Irene blame herself, who not realizing that yesterday.  She's probably too tired to even realize anyway.

"Notice one..."  Irene sighed heavily. Definitely not one, but more than that.  In fact, many more posters that attached to the front door of her rented house have not been removed yet.

By now, she is feeling a little bit annoyed when she realizes that her life is being played by the man, but, she is still trying to accept the reality.  She really didn't want to work under this man again.  As she already have experience and suffer enough before, she should have had enough of that.

But, even though she thought many times, also ready to walk away from there, one of her positive thoughts started to come.  She already stands here.  Wasting her time, energy and taxi fare get there.  She really didn't like to do something that meaningless.  If this job can help her to manage her life, why not?  She is not in the position to choose anyway.

"So, this time you want me to be your maid?"  Irene asks.  Too directly.  She already knows, with this man, straightforward is the key for her to be on his good side.  Playing with words its not his style at all and never have a good ending.

"Why not?  Also, the salary that I offer is good enough.  That must be one of the reason why you come here in the first place.  Am I right?"

"It's damn good actually, making me thrown into trouble."  Irene curses in her breath, slow voice, only for her to know.  Not the man heard that for sure.  Weirdly, she is not offended by his words, as she already know it is the truth.

"So, what is my scope of work?  Do I need to clean this entire huge villa and every corner of the area?  I definitely can't do that alone."  She told the truth.

It's not like she is giving up, but that is out of her limit.  And she is not ashamed to admit it.  If the man insists that she need to do all that, forget about the ten thousand dollars per week, it's definitely not worth it.  She also believes that, if she really did it, she could get sick and bedridden before she gets to see her first paycheck.

"I'm not that cruel.  You will be assigned to a special task.  While, I already have other maids that work only half day to clean this big house."  Victor said while his hand busily searching things at his work table.

'Are this man workaholic?  Why on earth he has an office inside his house?  Or I'm too poor to know that all of the rich have the office in their house.  What a boring life.'  Irene talk this and that inside her mind while waiting.

"Here, the contract."  Finally, he handled her the document that he tries to find before.  To say that Irene wasn't traumatize when she saw such a paper would be a lie.  She still remembers clearly 'the slave contract' that she blindly agree before.  This time, she will make sure such an event will not happen ever again.

Irene read aloud what was written there about her assignment.

"Special maid recruit. Job scope: Clean Mr. Victor bedroom, office room, a library which is restricted to the any other person except the special maid and Mr. Victor itself."  Irene looked at Victor who was still smiling looking at her.

'Who on earth write these things and address their own self like that?  Creepy. '  Irene still condemns the man in her heart.  Then she continues,

"Ahem...  Also help in whatever Mr. Victor asks such as arrange a paperwork, compile the file, and be by his side if there's some event outside, what is this?  Sound like a job for a secretary now."  Irene kept asking questions without any full stop on her reading.  She is now clearly not satisfied.  She seems to know where this will lead.

"I promise this time is not like the last time.  If not you can beat me as you wish."  He said it without blinking.  Hundred per cent in serious mode.

Irene sighed and then looked back at the paper that still in her hand.

"You said your other maid work half time, so why am I working for 10 hours?  You know I just doing this as part time job right?"

"Its flexible.  If you can come in the morning, then you work in the morning.  But if you can come in the afternoon, then do your job in the afternoon.  There's no pressure this time.  I just want to see you all okay in front of my eyes.  All the time, if that's even possible."  Victor now admits.  Why did he do all this?

He becomes crazy every single minute, when she just ignores his existence or should he said it clearly...  his messages and calls.  So, he knows that he needs to work harder.  To win her heart.  All of that. 

Irene watched the man with a deep look.  She can feel the man's sincerity which she's not going to lie, the longer she deny the more it's piercing in her heart.  Allowing the man to enter the sacred place.  But, she is still not opening the lock.  As she knows herself very well.  She is not ready.  But, she also knows that she cannot push the man to get out of her life . From the very beginning, she just knows.

"So, when do I start?"
