Lola sat on the sofa in the room looking at the family account balance. There was only 17,560.36 in the account. The hospital had demanded for a fee of 20,000 before she could be admitted into the hospital. The operation had to be done in less than four months time. They would need to operate or it would grow out of hand and there would be only one result. She had to find out how she could get the remaining 3,000. Her initial plan was to get a loan from a bank 155,000 once she got the job. She felt that if the bank could confirm her contract maybe she could get a salary loan. She planned to do that once she was settled
After resting on the sofa for sometime a knock was heard on the door. She quickly carried her bags and belongings to the door after rolling up her hair she had tied in a ponytail. When she opened the door she saw a lady probably one of the old servants
“I am Pat the first missus personal maid. I was told to bring you along” she said in a casual tone
“Thank you I’m Lola we can go now” Lola said
Truth being told she was nervous and expectant for things to not work out.
.....
In the first missus suite in the villa
Everything here gave a sense of a warm home from the pillow to the embroidery to the table cloth. Well this showed the first missus was a very homey person. A good sign she thought.
When she entered she saw the first missus sitting on a rocking chair which was made from top quality wood it was even exquisitely carved. Even though she had no experience with wood she could tell that it was top notch.
The housekeeper first spoke “madam this is the only person who volunteered to work in the young master’s villa”
The first missus turned her attention back to Lola and looked at her as if sizing her up
“Well you must have a lot of courage to accept this job, even I myself know that my son is hard to serve and has a bad temper. I would like to tell you that if you have any bad intentions you had better gotten rid of them. As you requested the contract is to last for 3 months. Is there any problem with this “
“No first missus” Lola replied while trying her best to clamp down on her excitement
“Well if that is the case the driver will take you to the villa it’s about 3 hours drive from here” The first missus said before dismissing her
Lola could no longer contain her happiness. She burst into laughter once she was inside the car in the passenger’s seat. The driver beside her looked at her suspiciously before asking.
“Are you alright Miss”
“Yes sure why won’t I be alright”
..You are going to work at the evil young master’s villa of course you should not be alright…
The driver was shocked he had not met anyone who was so anxious about working for the young master. Well ignorance they say is bliss.
But Lola thought differently how bad, can his temper be. Besides I only have Appear before him once in a blue moon. He won’t even usually be at home. I don’t even need to clean the house in order words I’m his personal maid. I already fished as much information about him which I could gather from the old servants. He was once in the army and had quite a high rank at the age of 20 which was very rare. He later withdrew when he was 23 years old according to the order of the old master to take up the family business. He’s presently 27. He’s rarely at home at most two times a week. How bad can it be Lola thought as the car got nearer to her destination and hope for survival.
But she forgot not to underestimate anyone if his own mother knew how difficult he was what was she going to do.
……………………………………………………………………When they arrived at the young master’s villa the driver immediately dropped Lola and her luggage off before driving off without giving Lola the chance to say goodbye.
“What’s so scary about this young master” Lola mumbled to herself his house was beautiful.
Her eyes roamed about the surroundings. She couldn’t believe they actually called this a villa to Lola this could actually pass for an estate of its own. Lola sighed inwardly the rich really knew how to spend their money. Just as Lola looked to the entrance the housekeeper came out walking to her.
“Good afternoon” Lola greeted
“Hello” the house keeper replied
“Follow me I’ll take you to your room where you will drop off your bags then I’ll take you round the villa”
“Ok sir” Lola replied not sure how to refer to him. He should be about 20 years older than her
With him taking the lead they arrived at her room on the ground floor
This is nice Lola thought at least I don’t have to climb the stairs all the time. She dropped her bag. The house keeper showed her an electronic device. He explained that it was connected to the young master’s room and study it had the function of a bell so that she would know when she was needed by the young master. He showed her around the ground floor from the kitchen to the living room, dining hall and other places. He then took her to the first floor explaining that the bedrooms there were all unused but were cleaned daily by the other servants. He again led her to the second floor pointing out the young master’s room and study. He also took her to the last floor pointing out the room at the end of the corridor explaining to her that it was a dark room used as a cell. Why would he need a cell? Lola wondered though she didn't dare voice it out loud
He told her the young master was rarely ever at home as he was always away on business trips but she had to clean his room daily. As no one knew when their master would be back. She had to make sure there was no dirt anywhere as the young master was a neat freak apart from that the other servants would clean other parts of the house. She didn’t need to cook she was only required to serve the dishes and wait behind until he was done with eating. To put it in a simpler form she only needed to be present when ever she was needed.
“That’s all for now. I’ll introduce you to the other servants” the house keeper said before pausing and added “you need to know that the young master has a bad temper so try not to get on his bad book”
Lola smiled and replied “Thank you sir I’m sure to listen to your advice”
The housekeeper called out the other maids and servants then he introduced Lola “This is Miss Lola she will be working as the personal maid of the young master”
“Hello my name is Lola I’m new here so please take care of me”
“HELLO” they all said in unison
When they left the housekeeper told her that she could move around and get used to the environment.
As she passed by the garden she noticed someone using a spray to water the plants. It was him that same guy that caught her attention earlier on she was mesmerized by his blue eyes. He wasn’t wearing a shirt and there were water droplets on his chest.
He waved at her “hi” he said while turning of the water spray.
Lola immediately snapped out of her reverie. She was so ashamed she was caught checking out a guy. Shit she almost drooled
Lola walked towards him “hey”
“Lola right my name is Omar” he said stretching out his hand for a hand shake.
“Hi Omar” Lola said while shaking hands with him.
“You do know it’s inappropriate to stare at guys the way you just did” Omar said while smirking evilly
“Then why do you go around without wearing a shirt” Lola blurted out
“Ok I’m sorry, well to tell you the truth everyone is pretty much curious about you” Omar said
“And why is that….”
“Cause the last two personal maids couldn’t bear it and had to withdraw ended up paying for breaching of the contract and that my dear is no small money”
“He he….. Nah that’s not going to happen to me”
“Let’s hope so I’m telling you because you seem nice” Omar replied
“Seem? Hey I’m totally nice” Lola replied with a smile
“That was not modest of you….. Oh I forgot you aren’t modest to begin with” Omar said jokingly reminding her of the incident just now.
“I was only joking” Lola said to defend herself while blushing furiously.
“Ok….. Um are you going to be staying at the villa or……”Omar asked while scratching his head awkwardly
“Yeah I’m going to be staying in the villa and I think I just made my first friend so what do you say friends” Lola asked while thinking so you can get nervous I’m going to make sure you blush more than I just did
“Yeah friends oh yeah forgot to tell you I’m the gardener” Omar said
“Ok I do have a soft spot for pretty boys who take care of flowers” Lola said teasingly making Omar’s face red
“Bye catch you later” Lola said whilst laughing at Omar’s face before walking away to continue her tour
Omar stood staring at her retreating back view. Smiling foolishly to his self before turning on the water spray to continue his work
**********************
Lola woke up it was Thursday just 10 days after she started working here on Sunday. It was also her day off. she still wasn't used to waking up in such a beautiful room it was totally different from any one she had seen and it was just a maid room!! She stood up from the bed and went to wash up. She had decide to go to the bank to discuss the loan. She had to finish up her job of cleaning the Young master room and private study. She intended meet Selena at home when she came back from the bank so they could get their mother admitted. But first she had to tell Omar and make him cover up for her. She had some friends among the servants but her relationship with Omar was the closest.They were usually teased by the maids who called them a couple. She stepped out and went to the garden. She already knew Omar's working schedule and knew where to find him at different times. She saw him pulling out the weeds whilst squatting. "Hi Omar" she shouted causing him to turn ar
She didn’t have time to think too much about it as she reached out and pushed the door open walking in she stood near the door .She saw a man who should be around 25 years of age he was decent looking. Was there a mistake this wasn’t the man Omar described. Maybe she entered the wrong office but the HR sign on the door said different. He was sitting behind the desk"Good day sir " Lola said unsure how to approach the matter at hand"Good day to you too have a sit I don’t bite" The man said jokingly."Thank you "Lola said before sitting down facing him"My name is Lola Damien I’m the new maid hired to work at the young master’s villa I want to apply for a loan""I’m Aaron Hudson I’m in charge of the staff welfare temporarily well you just started working isn’t it too early to apply for a loan" Aaron said while staring at her seriously his joking aura long replaced by a professional air. Who on earth comes for a loan just a week after starting a job? Well in this case a desperate pe
At the scarlet flames plaza on the 6th floor Aaron had been sitting on the chair when Daniel the young master’s P.A called him telling him that the young master was already in building and was on his way to his office. He wanted to inform him so he could prepare the documents to show his progress throughout these seven days. Aaron cursed out loud but hurriedly started to prepare it.When Aaron asked him he told him that the young master seemed to be in a rare good mood. He told him to try his best to please the young master if he wanted to stop working there. Aaron was in doubts though when was Hayden ever in a good mood.Aaron immediately collated all the necessary documents and stood while waiting for the young master to arrive. Five minutes later the door was pushed open with the young master as the lead while Daniel tailed behind. The body guards stood at the door. Aaron immediately greeted the young master. He didn’t reply only sat down on the chair. So much for a very good mo
Standing at the beginning of one of the rows, Lola could feel the beads of perspiration rolling down her face. Luckily it seemed the housekeeper had not noticed her presence. The last thing she needed was someone scolding her. After waiting for 20 minutes Lola was already having doubts of whether he young master was really back or if all this was just a drill to see how fast they could get here. Just when she was about to speak up. She saw a black maybech coming forward with another car behind it. Lola immediately guessed that the young master should be in the car in front. The car in front came to an halt at the entrance where the servant stood in rows. Lola could sense the nervousness of everyone. Their nervousness didn't help her at all.Well to state the truth she was also nervous. This was the first time she would meet her master of course she was nervous. She was even more nervous realising that even the older maids were nervous. The passenger’s seat door was flung open. Daniel
Well that was almost entirely true she felt her eyes twitch. If she knew it was such an important picture she wouldn't have touched it no matter how many guts she ate.When she lifted her head up Hayden (Young master ) was shocked he had been prepared to murder the culprit but seeing her innocent face he couldn't bring himself to do it. She probably didn't know what it meant to him. Hayden tried convincing his self but he knew he had also hurt people who were ignorant and innocent for the same reason What was wrong with him he was not normally moved by expressions was she a witch. "Forget about it but this should not repeat it self ever again""Yes young master" Lola said in a daze. She was sure this man hated her totally. She expected him to throw her out.What just happened everyone in the dining hall were shocked out of their mind even the maids who were outside the dining hall trying to see how bad the young master would treat her when he got angry. Everyone secretly had made be
Lola left and close the door only to find dumb struck Daniel standing at the door she’s snapped her fingers in front of his eyes before he snapped out of his reverie He kept on looking at Lola as if she fell out of space When they were the kitchen and Lola served their hot chocolate Daniel said “ I had a dream just now that a young master apologized to you “The edge of Lola lips twitched as she looked at him as though he were a fool.“ It was not a dream” she said even though she was equally shocked “This is crazy I should have recorded it now Aaron won’t believe me if I tell him the young master apologized to someone” Daniel ratted on When they finished the chocolate Lola went to her room while Daniel left the Villa to return tomorrow morning Lola entered her room she laid on the bed and called Audrey Lola: hello Audrey Audrey: hello my little cupcake You’re leaving on Saturday rightAndrey :yes Lola: I will miss you Audrey: I will miss you too cupcakeLola: you had bet
When Lola went in she told Daniel she would clean the young master's study and bedroom then follow him.She then took the cleaning the equipment with her to the second floor. She first cleaned the bedroom then proceeded to the study. When she dusted the books on the self she went to the desk. She made sure to avoid contact with the picture when she was done she carried the cleaning equipment back to the storage room. She locked the door then returned the key to the house keeper.She went to her room and took a bath she came out wrapped in a towel. She sat down on the bed to dry off her hair. When she was done she took out a jean trouser and cropped top. She had worn the top. Then started to wear the trouser when it reached her hips it became hard to drag upShe tried very hard to move it up but failed. Lola pulled it off then looked at herself in the mirror"~It seems what Omar said is true I'm getting fatter. Well I'll worry about that later I've got things to do right now~ but she d
"Well that's good" Daniel said seeing that she had signed the contract "I'll get someone to send the money to you right now" he said as he left the officeWell that was fast Lola thought.She sat in the office going through her instagram account. She was just laughing at a meme when two notifications came in simultaneously. The first one was a bank alert. She opened it and saw that the loan of 155,000 had just entered. She was so happy and forgot to open the second notification. Just as she was confirming the balance the door to the office opened and Daniel walked in. "They said the money has been transferred" "Yes thank you I just received the alert" Lola said"Would you like to go back to the villa now" Daniel asked"Yeah . . . Sure I'll be on my way now thanks once more" Lola said while turning around to leave "Hey wait!" Daniel said causing Lola to turn around "Do you want to put me into trouble the young master clearly told me to send you back to the villa what will I say if
