Mabel woke up and feel disappointed as usual because she's tired of her life, she's tired of the way she lives with her single mom and her two older brothers in a room. She got up and went to her phone to check for the time "oops I'm late!" she shouted.

She quickly took her bath and dress up.

She went to her mom for transport fare and her mom yelled at her " don't you collect salary?" "why are you always asking me for transport fare when you have the money".

"I don't have any money on me" she yelled back and left.

The truth is she has the money, but she does not want to spend her salary on T. fare, her mom could do that, she thought.

She was already late but she wasn't scared because her is a good man, he wouldn't shout at her or get angry like other bosses would do to their employees.

She is Working as a home keeper in a very conducive area. Her boss Simon has been so good to her, and she liked him. She has been crushing on him since the first day she met him but they weren't meant for each other Simon is twenty five years old, a model and he has lived his whole life in the USA, so he is currently living in Nigeria for some time because his grandfather wanted him to.

And mabel is nineteen years who graduated from secondary school two years ago, and she is also a make up artist. She works as a home keeper because she is saving to open her own make up studio. She is a commoner and Simon is very rich and handsome, so it wouldn't work out. Even though Simon flirts with her always, she sometimes finds it offensive.

By the time she got to Simon's apartment she was already late. She rang the door bell and he opened the door, her heart flutters " there he is, my candy man!" she thought to her self.

"Good morning" she greeted without using the word "sir" because he told her not to call him "sir". "Simon is more preferable" he had said.

Even though it was hard for her she blended in as time goes on. She has been working for him for three months. Simon has been paying her a reasonable salary. Ten thousand naira per week apart from the bonuses she gets from him. Simon has been really good to her.

" you know you are late?" Simon asked

"Yes, I'm so sorry there was traffic" she lied.

Simon knew she was lying but he didn't want to pester her. "Have you had breakfast?" she asked. "nope" Simon answered.

"Lemme make you something " she said.

"No, I'm going to be late for my shoot" he said

" Yes that's true, I almost forget about it" she said

Simon stared at her "What? You forgot about my shoot"

"Nope, I said I almost forgot "she replied

Simon did not bother to answer her anymore. He went upstairs to get dressed.

And mabel sat on the couch to press her phone while She wait for him.

" Who is going to drive him now" she thought and was frustrated, Simon could ask her to drive, and she can't. He was disappointed when he first learnt she couldn't drive "am I supposed to look for a driver after paying you that huge salary?" he had asked her and she thought to herself "how much are you paying me? I'll wash, clean and cook for you and you still want me to drive you?". She wouldn't dare to say that out loud.

But there is Tunde, he would drive them.

Tunde has been driving Simon since he came back. Tunde is twenty two years old, he's working to provide for his mom who is a widow. Simon is also good to him, he's good to everyone in general.

Mabel is still waiting for Simon when Tunde walked in "good morning" he greeted her

"morning" she answered without raising her head from her phone.

"mtcheww" Tunde hissed

"What?" she asked raising her head.

"Water ni" he replied in sarcasm.

Maybel knew why he hissed and said " do you expect me to kneel down and greet you?"

"Shut your mouth! " he was already frustrated by her and mabel smiled, she enjoys provoking him.

"Where is Oga? " he f asked.

"Oga" is the word for "boss"

"He's on my..." mabel did not complete her sentence when Simon walked in.

"You are also late" Simon said.

"I'm sorry sir" Tunde apologised

Everyone uses "sir" for Simon apart from mabel, and this makes Tunde and Kingsley jealous of her because Simon is always protective of mabel despite the fact that she is an employee, Simon treats her special, and sometimes people mistake them for couple because they look cute together and Simon always act like a gentleman whenever they go for grocery shopping.

After Tunde said he was sorry, they all walked to the car.

Back in the car, Simon asked mabel. "why don't you make your hair"

"huh..?" mabel was stunned by the question and Simon stared at her.

"Nothing" she quickly replied.

Tunde on the other hand seems irritated by the question.

"why asking her about her hair? If you like her just say it" he thought.

People were already waiting for Simon at the studio. Kingsley and some of the studio manager. Kingsley is also one of simon's employees. Actually Simon has three employees that are very close to him. Kingsley, Tunde and mabel.

Kingsley is a photographer, Tunde is the driver while mabel is the( P. A.) Personal Assistant. Simon often refer her as the P.A.

They all like each other as siblings.

"Good morning sir" Kingsley and the rest of the team greeted in unison.

"Morning" he murmured.

Kingsley went over to mabel and greeted her in pidgin " how you dey?" which means "how are you".

"I'm fine" she replied squeezing her face

"What's wrong?" Kingsley asked..

"I'm hungry "she said.
