Alicia walked into the bath grumbling, she bent down to feel the temperature of the water and it was just the perfect one for diving in it. She closed the curtains making sure that nobody would peek at her, she looked around again and when she saw that it was cleared, she started pulling off her clothes.
"So dirty" she muttered as she quickly fetched water to wash it, it was only one bra and underwear that she had with her right now, the rest of her clothes were in her sack.
'Speaking of that, where did I drop it?' she asked herself referring to that sack, it wasn't only her clothes that was inside but her diary and a particular Jem that her mother had told her to keep safely and not show it to anybody no matter what.
'Maybe it's still on the floor, what if someone has taken it?' she asked herself as she spread her clothes on the line in the bathroom, 'or maybe it's with him since he was the one who saved me'
She felt relieved thinking that Asher had the sack with him. After washing her hair and her body like three times, she was finally clean. seeing that she had no underwear to wear, she looked outside to see if anyone was watching her again, the place was cleared.
she raised her hand towards the clothes and her hand started emitting a blue light which was the hottest fire, she brought it closer to the clothes and it started drying. In less than two minutes her underwear and bra was dried so she put it on and wore the blue gown given to her.
'Whats this?' she asked herself as she glared at the bow, was she a small girl to be wearing something like this. Maybe that's what the maids wore, she put the bow on her hair and straightened her brown hair.
She picked her other cloth and folded it neatly, she placed it beside the window so she would come back to fetch it. Now the master was waiting and she didn't want to enrage him, she quickly left the bath.

As she entered the mansion to meet Asher, she could feel all eyes on her like they have never seen her before, she herself knew she was a beauty enhanced with glorious curves on her body but wasn't this stare too much.
She stood at the back of Asher and coughed lightly to grab his attention.
"Come here" He said as he pointed to his front and Alicia gently walked to his front.
Asher glanced at her body and he saw that the dress was small for her, especially her front, the button would come off if there was any pressure put on it. 'Is that how sexy you are in a maid's cloth?' He asked himself as he quickly turned his head away from her because one part of his body was reacting.
"Amory!" Asher called.
"Yes sir, you called me" Amory answered with his head bowed.
" why did you bring this short one for her?"
"Sir there isn't any other cloth" He answered politely.
"Call the tailor to come here quickly to take her measurements, this gown is too small and exposive" Asher complained while not looking at her, Alicia frowned there was nothing wrong with the gown that he had to complain this much, when she was with her parents, she wore gowns tighter than this one, he wasn't even the one wearing it and he was complaining like this, what a despicable man!
"Sir you must have forgotten, tailor peng is out of the country" Amory reminded him.
"It's okay I can manage myself" Alicia said.
Asher glared at her, "Nobody told you to talk, keep that small mouth shut" He muttered under his breath as he dismissed Amory. He removed the dark scarf that was around his neck and threw it to her.
"Use that" He said.
"There is no need for this sir, the dress is okay I can manage myself" She told him but Asher would hear none of it.
"There is a need for it now put it on while am being nice" Asher retorted, Alicia bit her lower lip as she looked down at herself, she then used the scarf to wrap around her neck and properly cover her front. As she was doing all that, she sniffed the perfume of the scarf and almost fell in love with it, it was just nice. She suddenly felt like going closer to him to sniff his body and that would only enraged the man.
"So what can you do? can you cook?" Asher asked her as he crossed his legs, he reached his hand for the glass of blood that the butler had brought for him.
Actually Alicia thought that it was wine that was contained in that cup but she was wrong, she could smell blood from the cup and she wondered why he had to drink it, wasn't that gross and how does it even feel drinking someone's blood like you are gulping water.
"Yes, all the dishes" She replied.
"What else can you do properly?" He asked.
"Wash the dishes, the clothes, plant flowers-" She couldn't complete her line because Asher had cut her off.
"Did you see flowers around here?" He asked curtly.
"How would I see it, I haven't gone outside" She reminded him because ever since she got here, she didn't step outside to look around.
"That's right" Agreed Asher and with a snap of his fingers, they were outside already, Alicia felt goosebumps around her skin after looking at the exterior part of the mansion, why would anyone paint his mansion black?, there was no sign of flower or anything, it was just surrounded by bushes and there was a warning at the entrance for people not to come in.
Asher snapped his fingers again and they were inside the mansion, "You've seen it now, haven't you?" he asked but got no response from the girl.
"Let me go straight to the point, you'll be in charge of my clothes, meaning you'll wash them, iron them and fold them neatly in the closet, you'll be the main cook and also you'll wash all the dishes used" He pointed out.
"Not only that, you'll sweep all the rooms in this house, mop the floor, wash the toilets, wash the roof, I don't want to see a speck of dust anywhere, the windows should be cleaned everyday and also my room, don't go there" He said as he gulped the last blood in the cup and used his tongue to wipe it away from his lips.
'So demanding, are you trying to kill me with all these works?' she asked herself as she cursed him inwardly.
"What of the other maids, what will they do?" she asked him carefully.
"They are going on a vacation" Asher answered with a smirk leaving the girl dumbfounded, that means only her and him in this house. That's not going to happen!.
