Vanessa watched the wolves eat the last flesh.
" you love it don't you " mumbling I move backward and lean on the wall exhaling, I just vomited the little breakfast I ate this morning and now am hungry as hell, so hungry, who would have thought I will use five hours to feed some stupid wild animals that given a chance can kill me and eat me too.
" hey," that blond maid I met earlier wave her hands.
" if you're done with your work, lunch is being served in the servants dining hall "
" I will be right there " moving I quickly make up my mind that after I eat I will quickly clean the master's room, I don't think he will come any time soon.
" am Vanessa ".
" call me rose " she held my hand and pull me to the hall, many servants already eating and they look so hungry.
" Why does he have so many maids?" Asking her, I sat down after we pick our share of food.
" isn't five maids enough, it will save money and some other things too ".
" that's true Vanessa but if he was only having five maids, you won't be here right now so....we should be grateful, he doesn't think like that ".
" you're right " nodding I stare at the meal, even servants here eat such good food? Boiled rice and chicken with wine, shoving a spoonful of it I moan.
" This is good "
" I know right " rose chuckled " lady morin knows her way around the kitchen, she is best at what she does ".
" I never knew morin works, I thought she just supervise everything "
" nobody really knows what she does here, sometimes she cooks, cleans, washes the master's clothes even take care of his pets "
" that's weird "
" Everybody here calls her a weird old lady "
" I don't think that's nice though" I shake my head.
" Maybe she just feels like stretching her body, you can't just sit around all the time...I found lady morin sweet and amazing to be with ".
Rose shrug " everybody has their different thought" nodding silence fall in the hall and all you can hear is the sound of our spoon then moans of delight
" how do you find the master? my dear Vanessa. Rose ask looking eagerly to hear whatever the answer should be.
" I don't get"
" handsome, ugly, hot, Scarry and manly " she smiled, which one?
" Scarry " I mumble " I sincerely don't want to be around him, he freaks me out " leaning close I whisper; " he feeds his pets human flesh ".
Rose chuckle " everybody knows that but that still doesn't make him look less appealing, handsome, and breathtaking...personally I love guys with blue eyes but the master is rocking those dark eyes. For once I can say it's amazing ".
" I will take it you like him?"
She smiled then nod " everybody like him around here"
" I see " eating the last piece of chicken the sound of the master carriage alert me. I haven't arranged his room, standing to my feet I rush out of the servants dining hall to the main mansion then the stairs, Running to the fifth floor which took me to his room, I swiftly open the door then step in locking the door which will buy me time to clean this room.
Moving to the bed I quickly arrange the blanket, opened the closet, and putting a new set of blankets but then I didn't take a broom with me so how will I sweep this damn room!
Thinking for a second, his footsteps approaching alert me so instead of sweeping I unlock the door slowly and run into the bathroom shutting the door, why did I eat lunch when am not done with work!
Another scolding is coming up
" Vanessa" his voice was calm, he said he hate repeating his self so the moment I heard my name from his lips I rush out of the bathroom, and thanks to the heat am sweating which made it look like I was working.
" master?" Breathing I swallow trying to think of an excuse.
" the floor is dirty, am feeling some dirt under my feet " Alexander step closer, placing his hand under my chin and making me look at him.
" explain and don't lie, I hate lies "
" after feeding the pets I was hungry so I forgot about cleaning your room then joining them for lunch and when I heard the sound of your car I run up here but I was only able to dress the bed....sorry ". Biting my lower lip I keep staring into that eyes of his, it feels like he is studying me.
" hmm" he move his hand to my neck, touching the necklace he gave me earlier " so you didn't clean the bathroom then "
"No"
" Go downstairs and bring the materials you need to clean the room "
" You won't punish me??"
" What have I told you about speaking when I didn't permit you to " he frowned and bite my lower lip for the second time.
" Do you want me to punish you?" Shaking my head a smile forms in the corner of his lips " silly girl, go on".
No one needs to tell me twice before I hurry back to the ground floor then the equipment room, take the bucket, broom, and other necessary things needed and within a few minutes am back in the room only to find the master unbuttoning his shirt.
He wasn't staring at me, his gaze fixed at the window, he seem to be talking to someone, although the person wasn't present.
"Abilities" I murmured.
" those bastards dare to touch what's mine and what were you doing huh, sitting around drinking coffee?" He sounds pissed and I know it's wrong to listen so I move into the bathroom and start my work.
Since it wasn't that dirty I was done in three minutes, it will really do me a big favor if he wasn't here while am cleaning, exhaling I step out of the bathroom, and this time our gaze met, he didn't avert his but I avert mine.
Am scared I might do something wrong and then get fired for it, why won't he just go to the living room.
" find them and eliminate them, their wives, children, even their relatives should be done with " he takes off this shirt then throw it away " what nonsense " swallowing I pick up the broom and start sweeping, Alexander isn't just an ordinary man, he kills people, he can kill me if angered.
" hurry up Vanessa, I need my room for myself!" His growl scared the hell out of my body, my body literally shake and whenever that happens, tears start to fall, looking at Alexander, he notices it and becomes confused.
" Why are you crying?"
" Am sorry, it happens whenever am scared, it won't happen again" cleaning my tears it just won't stop because am still scared, he walked closer to me then use his hands to clean the tears and surprising it stop and that was the moment I notice his bare chest, broad shoulder and...is that eight abs, he has freaking eight abs.
Looking up at him I found him looking serious in making me stop crying and am sure my face is a bright shade of red from embarrassment.
" it stopped humans and their silly tears " he mumble then look down at me, lifting my chin up to look at him.
" don't ever cry again"
" how am I supposed to do that when the emotions just happen without informing me and you keep scaring the fuck out of me Mr perfect!" I cursed inwardly.
I was supposed to say that but since I love my job I just nod and then he moves to the balcony, leaving me alone in his bedroom, with mixed emotions, Confusion, and fear...
