CHAPTER EIGHT
The Door to the mansion opened automatically as we approached , I still followed Miss Janet in.
I was so stunned as I met the beauty of the inside.
God! This is where the real Golden structure was. The house was so big and too Flashy. I dropped my mouth staring completely at everywhere.
Why would just one person live in such a big mansion?
Come to think of it, was I the only one going to work in this Luxurious and large space?
What would happen if I mistakenly broke something?
I would never be able to pay it even if I received 10 months of my salary.
" Let me show you your room, you will have to start work immediately so I will show you around. You won't be cleaning the whole mansion just some significant places , the dishes according to the CEO's Diet menu Timetable and then the laundry.
You can ask questions if you have any", Miss Janet said.
I tried to relaxed
" I understand everything you said now. You can show me my Room and the places I will be working in", I Voiced.
"Ok, perfect then",.
My Room was mind blowing.
For a moment I thought she had led me mistakenly into one of the CEO's rooms or something.
I rubbed my eyes and I was super surprised.
I can't pay for this room ,hope she's aware.
What if my salary gets deducted for sleeping in here? .
I was suddenly scared.
" This is your room , Miss Abigail", she said, throwing her hand in the air.
" You can' t be serious, miss Janet . Please Give me some other room, I can't manage this room. I mean I don't want to be forced to pay for any damages I may cause. I can't stay here please", I whispered.
" There is no other room you would be staying in other than this",.
" You don't understand me , Miss Janet.
This place is just too gigantic and luxurious, I prefer to stay in just a little space. I don't want to stay here please, a quarter or room is OK for me", I said boldly.
" You mean you would rather prefer to stay in just a space or a trash room than this? There is no such space here, all rooms in this house are built this way except the CEO's room which has an exceptional decorum.
And that is why you have been hired to clean and maintain this place. If you don't want to stay in here just you might as well go and stay outside maybe in the garage or anywhere . I see you don't like your room", she voiced sarcastically .
" Drop your things and follow me , I have to show you around and go. I still have things to do in the office",.
I sighed and stared at the room again.
Staying in such a big room will only put me in more fear, I mean this was exactly the size of our old house and all the beauty of the room was giving me nothing but shock.
How would I clean this huge house, I would surely die working here and no one would be able to know or find me.
Fear gripped me and I swallowed with a lobe in my throat .
I dropped the bag and closed the room running after Miss Janet. Trust me, I can easily get lost in this place.
Miss Janet showed me the kitchen, the Ceo's Room which was shut, she showed me the sitting room and the verandas ,the beautiful back view having the Blue swimming pool and the green gardens.
Am so flabbergasted right now.
I was to water the gardens and clean it up.
Clean and change the swimming water.
Cook assorted dishes, clean the rooms and everywhere I was given access to.
" There is security all over the Mansion , so you are to behave and only go into where you are assigned. Good luck", She said and the cat walked away.
Miss Janet walked to the front View for her car. I watched her for a while until she entered her car, pressing the remote, the gate opened and she drove out.
I sighed and followed the door slowly walking into the mansion stealing a glance of all beauty again..
I was so sure I would get a back ache working in this place.
I trolled around the house , entering the kitchen and it was totally still intact like it had never been used .
I opened the fridge and there was no food stuff at all, I walked into the Food Store next room and I saw a variety of groceries.
They must have shipped knowing I was arriving today.
I put on the Apron and went through the diet menu. I traced it to his Monday Dinner since it was almost Evening. Fish crab, Raclette Kappacasein and pan cheese with cornichon.
Miss Janet said he loved to have his dinner immediately when he came home from work.
I read the cooking recipe and I was good to go.
Talking about a good cook, I knew I was one. My mother had enrolled in cooking class in high school. That was where I discovered my cooking ,baking and design talents. I was so cool and good that I received a lot of appraisal. I got awards many times in competitions and right now, I totally forgot all my talents . Circumstances had made it so and it pained me.
I spent a few hours cooking and decorating the dishes, then I set them in the CEO's Inner Dining, a very long golden Dining table that has his seat far away from the other seats. So strange I thought.
I cleaned up the kitchen unaware that the CEO was home already.
I turned to walk back to my room and that was when it dawned on me that I didn't know the way to my room anyway.
I mean everywhere looked the same and I was so confused.
I took a walk down a passage but I felt it was the wrong way, I turned and took the other passage ending up in the Back view at the swimming pool with its pretty Blue reflection and beautiful lights lighting up the Dark night .
I was very disappointed and felt tired.
I walked down again and stopped at a Room finally convincing myself about it.
I put my hand on its handle, opening the door with dull eyes and looking very tired with my hair falling down to my shoulders.
I looked up and my eyes crashed with the eyes of the CEO.
My heart stopped beating .
I was totally taken off .
I lost myself too.
Am staring at the Man that was going to Hit me on the 11th of November.
I would never forget that day but here I was buried in his eyes.
I stared, startled , remaining still and gazed like a fool at him bringing my eyes down to the bare fair tattooed chest and the muscular arms as he held a phone in his ears tying just a beautiful white towel.
I have just landed in big trouble , I was definitely about that .
I had to say something very fast but my mouth couldn't even talk, I was so lost in his deep black eyes.
I have just gone crazy, I cried in my heart as I imagined a penalty.
I heard thunder words that shocked my bones sending a Great thong of fear that made me blink and shake, I suddenly felt the ground could open up and take me.
"Get lost! ", he fired.
" I..I ..Am Sorry..", I shuttered, not able to finish up as he shot his eyes that felt like bullets, I banged the door in fear and ran out.
I ended up in the kitchen again as I held my chest trying to regain my breath.
I sighed as my heart beat very fast.
What kind of man is he?
Not like I asked him not to close his Door.
So Rude!
So Harsh!
I wonder why I am surprised, he was the Devil that almost got me killed so it was clear he wasn't human at all.
He just showed me he wasn't and I hear my heart praying and wish to get done working here soon.
What kind of hell have I gotten myself in , all in the name of a Job.
What would happen if I die here ?, I mean he can possibly have me killed if he finds out that , am the Girl he almost hit and thst i could tell on him.
I was so afraid , confused and a tear dropped down my eyes.
I was still running through my thoughts when I heard a sound from his inner Dining.
He clapped his hands and I guess he was trying to call me.
I walked out slowly and I stood at the end of his long table distancing completely from him.
Not just distancing because that was the instruction Miss Janet stated I was to abuse but also because I wouldn't want to go anywhere near him.
He buried his eyes in his food then he lifted his head.
God!, he was so handsome I was even scared to confess.
" Why are you not with your Ipad, you are meant to hold it at all times , that's how we communicate with each other ", he asked.
I was a bit confused
" Ipad?", I asked.
" An Ipad is placed in your room along with the house map ,that way, you shouldn't get lost ", he said .
" Oh , I haven't gone into my room. I was trying to find it and I mistakenly entered yours….", I was saying slowly but he cut me in.
" Dump the trash ! , you shouldn't be talking for too long", he fired.
I swallowed and rolled my eyes. Jeez!
The Nerve of me, I feared for myself .
He stormed his eyes at me.
" Take a walk down the passage, turn right ,the sixth Door is your Room. Don't ever leave your map and ipad behind again, I hate to waste my words on Dummies . I prefer to text ",he said.
Shame creeped in to me, he just called me a Dummies. This is too Rude, what kind of man is he?
Who were his parents forgetting to raise him well? I hate to think I am here in his presence.
I turned to walk to my room without replying to him.
"About your penalties ..", he said
I stopped and turned quietly, I thought and wished he already forgot.
" You are working on the weekend ",he said.
