Emily got off her bed and glanced at the clock to see that it was almost time to prepare dinner.Barbara never stated that she had to prepare the meals, as that wasn’t part of what her job entailed.However, she loved the fact that Richard couldn’t stop talking about the meal she had prepared for him the last time.This spurred her to personally include cooking in the list of things she was expected to do as a maid.She smiled and sauntered towards the main house and into the kitchen, going through her mind and trying to figure out what to prepare.The refrigerator was stocked up with every single thing and for a moment, Emily couldn’t help but wonder why there were so many things there which were hardly used by them.She made up her mind to prepare spaghetti and a tomato sauce which she had just learned how to prepare. She set to work as she placed a pot of fire, with the spaghetti placed inside of it.Emily started singing as she diced the tomatoes, sausages, onions and other veget
“Wow!” Emily mouthed in amazement the moment she walked into the room.It was massive and beautiful, with flowers at different corners and a wall design that entailed wealth and class.“It doesn’t look masculine ”, she noted, taking slow steps into the room and swirling around in delight.She rushed to the bed and sank into it, giggling in excitement and wishing that she could take a nap for a while. The feel of the bed on her body brought great contentment that at an instance, she was at the verge of falling asleep.Next, she turned her eyes to the left, where she found different portraits on the table. She walked closer, with the aim of catching a glimpse of the picture of her husband.Just then, she saw a box which laid at another corner of the room. Immediately, she walked towards it to peek into what laid inside of it.She found different pictures of Barbara which made her smile calmly. “She looks calm in these photos”, Emily said with a smirk as she thought of how unbelievabl
“Oh my God!” Emily muttered continuously the moment she heard Barbara screaming from the living room.She quickly moved the box back to its position as she hastily made her way down the stairs and into the living room. Her feet trembled, and her lips were quivering in fright. She had decided to satisfy her curiosity, without a plan of what to use as an excuse or cover up.“What should I say?” She asked herself as she took slow steps into the living room.Emily sniffed in the smell of burnt spaghetti and that caused her heart to shatter into pieces.“Oh my God!” She yelped as her whole body trembled in fear.At this point, she could swear that she was going to get fired.Firstly, she was wandering around the house, and that was definitely something she wasn’t meant to do.Secondly, she had totally forgotten that she placed something on fire and now the house was almost on fire.And then, the worst of everything was that she had no explanation in place for what had happened.“Emily?” B
The atmosphere became dead silent as Emily finally raised her head to stare at Richard, who now took slow strides towards them.“Stay out of this, Richard!” Barbara warned and returned her gaze to Emily.“Your duties never included cooking. I never asked you to cook!” She screamed aloud.“I’m so sorry, ma’am”, Emily said.“You wouldn’t have done anything if you burnt this house!” She yelled out of her lungs and made to hit Emily when she felt someone’s grip on her wrist.“You would rather not hit her now, would you?” Richard said and chuckled slightly, after which he pushed her to the side.“She is still a human and an adult at that. You should never try to lay your hands on her just because you think you have the privilege”, Richard warned while Barbara stared at him unbelievably.Emily quietly raised her head, still with her heart thumping heavily and her breath shaking.She had no idea of the fact that Barbara had tried to hit her, until she saw Richard’s hands holding hers.“You k
Emily stayed frozen, shivering and unable to move an inch from where she stood.For some minutes after Barbara left, no one uttered a single word.“That was a scene, right?” Richard finally said as he lifted his head and chuckled calmly.Emily was in extreme shock that she couldn’t utter a word. She had thought that she was fired but suddenly, Barbara lost strength and couldn’t utter a word to counter what Richard had said.It got her into a state of shock that five minutes wasn’t enough to recover from.“I understand, come here”, Richard said with a smile, while Emily finally took in a deep breath and clumsily walked towards him.Richard broke into a loud and hysterical laughter when he took note of the expression on her face.Her eyes were squinted, and her lips were parted slightly as though some words laid inside of them.“Firstly, I’m so sorry and secondly, I really do not think it’s funny”, Emily said as she stood beside Richard who was laughing uncontrollably.He stopped after
“Does she leave the house always?” Emily asked while they waited for the spaghetti to come to a boil.She was glad that he didn’t get mad at her for almost setting the house on fire.“Yes”, Richard replied bluntly, an indication that he wasn’t ready to talk about Barbara or anything that concerned her.“Forgive me for asking. She owns the house and so, she can leave and return whenever she wants”, Emily added as she lifted the lid to take a peek at what was cooking.“Can we talk about something else other than Barbara?” Richard asked with a look of displeasure in his voice.“Definitely! I mean, there are siblings who are like cat and dog. But I’m certain that you both love each other despite the continuous fights. I would love you both to settle your differences and hang out more often as siblings. I mean, I don’t have a sister or a brother, and I’m certain that I miss that in my life”, Emily blabbed on but stopped when she observed that Richard didn’t utter a word.“Is everything oka
“Remember that the main reason for this banquet is to get an audience from him”, Mike said to Richard, who was staring at himself on the giant mirror while adjusting his tie.“If there’s anything, don’t hesitate to let me know as I would be waiting outside in case of emergency”, he continued and this time, Richard turned a sharp gaze to him.“You won’t take a break from talking, would you? Do I have to remind you that I would be fine?” Richard asked with a scowl, after which he returned to adjusting his tie.Just then, Emily walked into the living room to meet Richard and another man who couldn’t take his gaze off her.“Good day”, she greeted and went straight to her job of cleaning the furniture in the house.Mike stayed still as he wondered who she was and what she was doing.“The last time I came here, she wasn’t here”, Mike whispered into Richard’s ears.“Well, things change,” Richard replied, beginning to feel irritated with the way Mike talked.“Who is she?” Mike asked again in
Barbara hissed angrily when she heard the sound of her phone ringing for the hundredth time.“Who is it?” Her lover asked grumpily, pulling her close to his chest and trying to plant a kiss on her lips.“It’s Mike! It’s just so frustrating”, Barbara replied as she picked up the call and placed the phone on her ears.“What the hell do you want, Mike?” Barbara asked angrily with a huge scowl on her face.“Aren’t you coming?”“Coming for what?” She asked impatiently, almost at the verge of ending the call.“The banquet. It’s today, and you promised Richard that you would attend”, Mike said, not wanting to believe that she forgot about the event.“Ohh! I would be on my way then”, Barbara said with obvious displeasure in her voice.She already made plans for her outfit for the banquet. However, the date skipped her mind and she had totally forgotten that it was scheduled to hold by weekend.“Why not stay and forget about that rubbish?” Her lover asked as he placed quick kisses on her bare
