AISLINN'S POV:
There I stood as at 5:50 am. Facing a very big mansion making me wonder how one person could live here alone. Shaking off the thought, I made my way in. The gate automatically opened but I wasn't still in. weird.
It was like a second gate and a subsection of the mansion. Clicking a blue button, a voice came few seconds later. "Yes? Who are you and what do you want". Came an unfamiliar grumpy male voice.
"Uhh... I'm Aislinn Caddel and the-" I was cut short by his words
"New assistant?"
" Well, yeah I was about to-"
"Scan your ID card to the screen by your left" Doing as he said, I scanned my ID on the screen and the gates automatically opened again but this time, to the real thing.
From outside I was barely granted the full view but the size was obvious. Beautiful was an understatement. The compound was wide, the flowers were properly trimmed and taken care off growing to it's beauty. Everywhere was neat with no trace of dirt, cars of different automotive brands were parked and I could only imagine how the inside would be
Walking to the entrance door, I pressed a button and I heard a loud bell ring from inside. The massive door opened few seconds later. "Hello dear, I believe you're Miss Aislinn Caddel?" A woman who seemed to be in her late 50's said.
"Yes ma'am, good morning. I'm Aislinn the new-"
"Ohhh that's fine come in you're few minutes late on your first day" at that point, I knew that cutting people's words short was definitely a thing here.
" I'm so sorry but I wasn't quite given heads up on the protocol on getting access into his Majesty's mansion" I walked in accessing the house while taking off my jacket. A small laugh came from my back which made me turn in search of humour.
"Indeed. Sorry about the hassle I guess it was Lilian's fault. Now go to the kitchen and prepare his coffee. He takes it at exactly 6:40am so you have about thirty five minutes to get it done. You read the file about your duties yes? " nodding I straightened my skirt paying attention.
"So yes, the kitchen is down the corridor, the first door by your right and his room is on the 2nd floor. Well, technically that's the only room there". She finished off lightly shoving me towards the kitchen.
.

"please don't run, run. This streets won't love you like I do. I can't love, love. But maybe with you I can try to" I happily sang and swayed my hips while walking down Mr Anthony's room.
"Mr. Anthony?" the countless knock and silence prompted me to open the door. "Sir, I'm here with your coffee" the room was dark themed as I expected but still beautiful. Everything about him screamed Power and Authority.
Gently settling his coffee on his dressing table, I walked into the first door after knocking there too. "Mr Anthony?" only to be met with a walk-in closet. Shutting the door I bumped into something hard but soft, hot but cold and definitely wet.
A hand wrapped around my waist preventing me from falling. Staring back at my honey brown eyes were a pair of alluring grey ones with my hands on his chest. I felt my skin prickle at the little contact. All too familiar
Letting go of my waist, he stepped back and folded his arms. I really wish at that point I could read his mind and thoughts to know if it's only me that felt that but his features gave nothing away.
"Umm- i- sorry s-sir I came in search of you to give you your coffee" I broke the silence walking towards the coffee.
"You're 10 minutes late Aislinn" he said tightening his towel around his waist.
"I know sir but I was trying to figure my way around in the kitchen and down here". I tried explaining but he simply turned his back to me and walked into another door giving me a nice view of his broad shoulders and tatted back Damn!
Standing there, contemplating what to do next cause the coffee was getting cold and he's to leave for the office in the next one hour.
"You're still here?" walking to me making slow strides he came so close that our nose was the only hindrance. Getting so shy I broke the eye contact and fiddled with the thread from my worn out shirt while biting my lips.
His presence wasn't budging and I looked back up seeing him glance at my lips for a nano second, he averted his gaze to the table and Picked up his wrist watch, abruptly turned, headed back to the door he came from then stopped "LEAVE MY ROOM!"
The sudden explosion scared me and I hit the coffee making it pour and shatter into pieces. Bending down, I tried picking the pieces " JUST GET OUT OF MY ROOM"
Running out my lips quivered as I felt like crying "You're so clumsy Aislinn, so clumsy!" "but don't blame yourself it was a mistake and he is very rude, grumpy and cocky man" I tried making myself feel less ashamed.

"Aislinn dear, take this too Mr. Anthony, he is at the dinning table. I have some other things to do. I'll give you a tour and more details later " Nodding my head in agreement I picked up the food and walked to the dinning table dreading to see him after our last encounter.
Sat in all his glory was him. Talking on the phone or rather scolding someone on the phone. Serving him his food, I left headed back to the kitchen to get something to eat.
"Where's Kate?" confusion clouded my features " where is the woman that ushered you in?" realization then hit me " She has somethings to do so she's currently not available"
"You're my assistant and not my maid let this not happen again" such a confusing man, he literally stated this in the contract and now he's complaining?
"Assistance in my personal life not act as a maid". He added as if reading my thoughts starring deep into my brown orbs. Giving a tight smile, I left to feed the monster in my tummy.
.
.
".....life ain't done, if you leave then how would I find you. You know I'm still searching, i'm tryna find you, I'm tryna find you. I know it ain't working". I continued my song as I swayed my hips using the spoon as microphone.
The sound of the fridge opening made me instantly halt my steps and turn back. There he was, gulping a bottle of water and maintaining eye contact with me. Watching his Adams apple bulb as he drank the water. Who knows how long he stood there watching me. This is a lot in one day .
I inwardly slapped myself for acting so silly.
" We're leaving in five minutes". He finished off leaving me alone to my thoughts in the kitchen.
I wonder what's going on in his mind right now
