"Good morning young master, " The maids coming out of the room, and going to their duty post greeted David as they sighted him coming out of Daphne's room, with their knees on the ground.
The two maids were going on to the kitchen, they halted as they sighted David, coming out of Daphne's room, they looked at David suspiciously and wondered, why he is coming out of Daphne's room.
He didn't bother to acknowledge their greetings, he looked at them, with his burning eyes full of rage and anger.
He scoffed and walked towards his room.
"What is wrong with your young boss?, has someone stolen his underlings," One of the maids, Tessy as a name said jokingly to her partner.
The other maid smiled slightly, "I didn't hear you," she satire, and hurriedly she walked away from her friends.
"Wait for me," Tessy ran after the other maid.
*********
David arrived in his room, he slumped on the bed angrily, trying to remember his last night's activities, everything in his head seemed blurry, it was not clear, and he couldn't get a picture of what led him into a maid's room.
He would have preferred other maids, than him laying with Daphne. He hates her gut the most among the maids, he hated the way his parents gave her special treatment over the other maids, they cared for her as if she was their daughter, especially his father. He would have suspected his fathering the girl if he didn't trust his father. Knowing this makes him crazy sometimes.
Angrily he stretched his hands towards the sofa, he picked up his phone, and suddenly an image flashed through his head, he remembered he was handed a drink last night, at the birthday party of one of his friends.
Instantly, he dialed the number of his girlfriend, Flora.
"Tring, Tring, Tring,'' The phone buzzed, but Flora didn't pick up at the first dial.
"Pick up" David gritted his teeth, and ran his hands on his hair, roughing its hair, as he wait impatiently for the second dialing to be picked
"Good morning Love Bug," Flora hyped David over the phone as she picked up, this is the nickname she called him, Flora is the only female friend, David had a close relationship with, and it resulted in a romantic relationship.
"Same here Smarty, how was your night?..., Please did you remember when I come home last night?" David asked Flora over the phone.
There was a brief minute of silence, before Flora busted into laughter, lightening the awkward ambiance.
"Are you still sleeping?" Flora asked jokingly over the phone.
"No, I'm not Flora," Calling her by name made Flora realize how ous David was. He called her by name whenever he was been serious.
"What is wrong?" Flora asked in a gentle voice, trying to know why he was asking the questions.
"Nothing, I just don't remember coming home by myself last night, although I remembered leaving the club," David lied, he didn't remember any of it.
Flora smiles slightly before she speaks any further words, " I'm right then. You're drunk last night, I wanted to bring you home, but you refused and drove yourself home," Flora chimed in.
"O...ka...y," David stuttered
"Did you remember the name of the alcohol drink I took last night, I'm curious about it Smarty" He added
"I didn't remember the name, but it wasn't your usual alcoholic drink. Is something wrong?" Flora asked.
For a while, David wished to open up to his woman, but he can't bring himself to say it. cause Flora might break up with him if she learner he is with another woman.
Flora has wanted them both to have sex for a long time now, but he kept telling her to be patient with him, cause he didn't want to have sexual intercourse until they are engaged.
How will she feel, if she finds out, he went to lay with another woman, not even a woman, but an ordinary maid, when she has been keeping herself for him?
The thought alone was killing David silently, and guilt struck his chest.
"No, I'm fine. Let's talk later, " He uttered hurriedly and hung up.
Angrily he threw back the phone on the bed, his heart thumped with anxiety and nervousness, he wondered what happened to him last night.
Did someone penetrate his memory lane?
He asked himself the cause of the supernatural novels he has been reading for a while now- Mermaids have the power to erase people's memory.
"No, it can't, " he mumbled under his breath.
Laying on the bed, he thought of a better way to bury last night's incident, he didn't want to be in the same house with her.
He can't trust the maid, maybe she did it intentionally just to dupe him.
He contemplated much on the thought and he arrived at a junction.
Firing Daphne of her Job was the best way to conceal it, moreover, they have other maids working for them, and losing one is not bad.
To him though...
After the conclusion in his mind, he got to his bare feet, he felt a bit easy now cause he has been feeling uneasy since he woke up and met himself in the maid's room.
Walking to the parlor, he met his mother drinking her early morning coffee, she stretched her legs on the sofa, watching the early morning news.
"Mom, I want Daphne's sack," He yelled angrily, without bothering to greet his mother.
"Is that your good morning?" His mother said, sparing him no gaze.
"Good morning mom," He said and bowed slightly to his mother.
"I guess you have something important to say to me, but I would only consider hearing it if you greet your mother politely," His mother said.
And she continued slurping her hot early morning coffee with a smile chuckled on her lips.
"Mom, this is twenty-first-century, I'm an adult, must I prostate every morning to greet you," David said, in a tiring tone.
"I know son, still the modern age doesn't mean children should be mannerless," His mother teased him.
David gasped, and remain mute for a while.
"Mom, did you mean your only child is mannerless?" David asked, his eyes burning with irritation against his mother's words.
"I didn't say it, but if you think you are, then you are, you know yourself then I do, " His mother said with a smile plastered over her face, she knows David hate hearing those words.
"And I said I'm not manner less mom," He replied.
"Prove it," Before she could finish announcing the word, David's chest landed on the ground, prostrating to his mother.
"Good morning mom," He said with gritted teeth, it was a difficult decision for him, he was a man full of ego.
"That is my good son, full of manners," His mother hyped him in a teasing tone, she dropped her legs from the sofa, and he lifted his son from the ground and hugged him tightly- Patting his back as they hugged.
"I love you, son," She whispered to his ears.
David seized the moment, he disengaged from the hug and looked into his mom's eyes, with an unexplainable expression on his face.
"I know you love me, mom, that is why I'm convinced, you will do my bid. You want my happiness! right, mom!" David said, trying to blackmail his mother to accept his proposal.
"Yes," His mother sputtered.
"Mom, I want Daphne's sack, she is choking your only son in his own house," He said expressionless, his face holding no motion.
His gaze was fixed on his mother's face, expecting her response.
