Chapter 15

Emily couldn’t ascertain why it was difficult for people to make use of honest means in their endeavors.

It pierced her heart to see how flirty the ladies were, simply because they wanted to win Richard’s heart.

“For me…”, Deborah started as she kissed her teeth, obviously feeling proud and concluding that she was the best from all.

“I would ensure that everything is tidied up, without a bit of stain or dissatisfaction. I’m willing to do everything you ask of me as your maid that I am”, she said with a wide smile.

“You aren’t even the chosen person yet!” Emily groaned inwardly as she sighed in exasperation.

She was beginning to lose interest in the job because deep down her heart, she presumed that she was nothing to be compared with the other ladies.

“And you? Emily?” Richard asked as he turned his gaze to her, wondering why she never raised her head for a minute.

“Emily?” Richard called out again, making Emily shiver in fright.

“Well, I, I…”, Emily stuttered as she gulped down hard, running out of words to utter.

She heard slight giggles coming from the other ladies, and she couldn’t help but wonder why the interview was conducted in such manner.

“Can you raise your head while talking to me?” Richard asked sternly as Emily slowly lifted her head.

Her eyes popped out in shock when she realized that the man she was talking was the person who caused her to lose her job at the restaurant.

Richard also couldn’t believe his eyes. He blinked severally, with his jaws dropped in surprise.

Her head had been lowered to the floor all through and irrespective of the fact that he suspected her to be the one, he just proved it now.

Emily’s heart raced as she peered into his eyes, trying so hard to prevent her knees from feeling wobbly.

“Go on, Emily, answer the question”, Richard said as he sat up and quickly wore a stern gaze.

“All I can say is that I would work with humility, knowing that it is the core trait every human should possess”, Emily replied calmly as other ladies giggled in mockery.

They were probably thinking that she was so dumb to give an answer that was so swift and straight to the point.

Richard got intrigued by her response as he stared at her keenly. Her reply was very much different from that of the other ladies.

“Humility”, Richard mumbled as he gazed at Emily, who had returned her gaze back to the ground.

“I love the sound of that”, he went further as other ladies rolled their eyes at Emily.

Emily cared less about that. She was still in shock as she tried so hard to keep her calm.

“It’s him”, she muttered inwardly as her body shook fervently.

She had developed a certain interest for him at the restaurant, but was unlucky to discover who he really was because she got fired.

And now, here he was standing before her as the billionaire in need of a maid.

She made to chuckle, but was certain that it would draw the attention of everyone present.

“I would send a message to whosoever got the job. Meanwhile, the both of you who fought earlier may not actually stand a chance”, Richard said as Emily’s heart dropped.
