THE NEXT DAY
Landon got up from his king-sized bed, stretching out as he wore his floppy slippers.It was a Saturday. Saturdays are always awesome for Landon. He goes ice skating, swimming, depending on his mood.But this time around, this Saturday won't be an awesome one. He would have to sit down for the House help interview."Gosh! I hate today." He mumbled scattering his hair with his palm in frustration.He checked his wall clock and saw it was almost 7 am."Woah. I woke up quite late." He thought walking to his table and sitting. He reached for his PC and switched it on. While he was still yawning and rubbing his eyes, the PC came on.After booting, the first thing he did was check out the site where the aspiring maids were to fill their forms.He clicked on the number of participants and he saw more than two thousand participants."Wow." He exclaimed. As of yesterday evening, he saw One thousand Five hundred participants, which means more than five hundred joined overnight."How do I even interview these people?" He thought sighing. He switched off his PC and walked to the bathroom.He picked up his toothbrush, added some toothpaste, and began to brush his teeth.His P.A should be on his way. So he should be prepared before she comes. After brushing, he took his bath rapidly, washing his hair alongside. He came out of the bathroom with his towel around his waist and his hair dripping wet.Suddenly he heard a knock on his door and he sighed."She Is here." He thought walking to the door and unlocking it."Come in." He said walking to his mirror as his Personal Assistant Ruby walked in.Immediately her gaze landed on Landon's super hot body, she was dumbstruck. In her entire life, this would be the best body she has set her eyes upon.Seeing him shirtless sent Sparks up to her brain and she wanted to exclaim but then cautioned herself."Are you okay?" Landon asked as soon as he noticed she wasn't speaking and all she did was stare at him."Ah... Yeah...I am good. Sorry for that." She said and Landon nodded looking away coldly.Landon had known right from the time that Ruby had always had a crush on him, but he never saw her more than just a personal assistant.He promised himself that once she starts to make some moves he wasn't cool with that he was going to fire her immediately.But ever since then, she had never done anything to piss him off. She was still the best of the PA he ever had."Sir the interview would commence at 8 am, and I gave randomly picked those that are capable of the job." She said as he grabbed his shirt. "We would talk in the living room." He stated and she nodded walking out of his room.He loves doing things in his room most times when he doesn't feel like stepping out of bed, she comes to meet him right there. But today is different, the way she stared at him made him change his mind completely."I don't like what I don't like."He stepped out after buttoning his shirt and wearing his shorts. He got to the living room and saw she was busy on the laptop."What were the criteria for picking them?" I asked sitting and putting my leg over the other."Their address. We need someone closer to this place. Someone in this city." She stated and he nodded."Is that all?" He asked and she carried the laptop to where he was seated.She placed it on her thighs so he could get a clearer view of the people she picked.He stared at the screen and just then got closer to her a little. Ruby inhaled his cologne and she shut her eyes.He smelled so good.Landon looked at her and saw her eyes were shut."Are you alright?" He asked and she quickly opened her eyes."Yes sir. I am sorry, but the light was affecting my eyes." She said and Landon nodded reluctantly before looking away.The dumbest person on Earth would know she was lying at that very moment."So how many people did you reject their offers?" He asked."Almost one thousand five hundred sirs." She said and he nodded."And almost all of them are from far places?" He asked and she nodded."As far as Golden City sir." She said and he looked at her immediately."Golden City? How many people from Golden City?" He asked eagerly."Maybe ten. Why sir?" Ruby asked."Give me the laptop." He said carrying the laptop from her thighs and placing it on his.He clicked on the search engine and typed out her full name; Kimberly Johnson.It loaded for some seconds and when the results came out, it was the person he was hoping it would be."Yes!" He said laughing and Ruby looked at him in shock.Landon hardly laughs, and when he does that means he is very happy. I mean very happy.She stared at the screen to see who this lady was, and when she saw her picture, she asked herself just one question."Who is this lady to him?" Landon laughed so hard, and when he remembered he was in front of Ruby, he made the laugh fade away putting on a fake serious look."I have found the person I want. She would be given the job, but we can still hold the Interview. Send her a message now." He said and Ruby nodded.He dropped the laptop on the table, stood up, and walked back to his room with a large smile on his face."She finally let go of her Ego! This would be so much fun!" His Brain yelled making him laugh again.This time silently, so Ruby won't hear him.Kimberly woke up due to the loud ring of her rusty alarm clock. She sprang up as she was a little frightened."This b**ch wouldn't be the end of me." She whimpered hitting the alarm clock hardly on the head.It stopped ringing, and she yanked off the duvet from her lower body, climbing down the bed.She yawned widely and stretched out still feeling lazy."I still feel drowsy." She grumbled rubbing her eyes with her two hands.She searched for her phone in the drawer next to her bed, and then she saw it. She switched it on and found out it was a Saturday.Saturdays are always not too pleasant for Kimberly because she would have to stay indoors throughout the day. It would be a boring day.But she didn't have a choice, she has no money to take herself out and equally, she has no man in her life presently to take her out.She switched on her wifi and her messages began to pop in. Though they were few and that is because she isn't the social typ
Kimberly walked into the huge mansion looking like a novice. Her feet wobbled as she saw the large number of people waiting in the compound."How will I win against these people?" She thought examining the kind of people present.Some had cooperated wears on, some short gown and skirt, probably to seduce Landon Hernandez. Some dressed like nerds, with serious looks and recommended glasses.She walked to the back trying not to pull too much attention to herself, though some of them were beginning to stare at her already.She sighted Ruby as she walked out of the building, and noticed was staring at her."I should not have worn this gown." She whispered to herself looking away.Ruby who was still boiling in anger because of what Landon did, had no choice but to call in Kimberly Johnson as ordered by Landon."Kimberly Johnson!" She called and Kimberly's eyes widened.The others looked around trying to get who Kimberly Johnson is, and why she wasn't called with a
Ruby led Kimberly to the store where the maids were kept.She grabbed the uniform and threw it to Kimberly who grabbed it at right time.Kim placed the uniform on her body and saw it was kinda short. It was few inches above her knees."Isn't this too short?" She asked Ruby who was still boiling in anger."You can tell the boss to give you his robe Instead," Ruby responded making Kim giggled."I can see you are still very angry," Kim mumbled looking around the store and ignoring Ruby."Once you are done wearing it, come out here to sign the contract," Ruby said to her and walked out of the store cursing under her breath.Kimberly began to get rid of her gown and wore the uniform Ruby gave to her.The uniform was a little tight at the hip and very uncomfortable for Kim."How do I even work in this?" She questioned herself. She picked up her gown and rolled it in her hands walking out of the store.She couldn't walk very fast because the unifor
"Ruby I thought I asked you to do the necessary things," Landon said looking at Ruby."I would show her to the kitchen, Sir. I wanted her to sign the contract first before going further." Ruby responded and Landon sighed."Sign the papers," Landon said and Kim walked back to where they were.She took the pamphlet and didn't bother to read the instructions or whatever was written in it.She got to the place she was to sign and she picked up the pen and signed on it.She did the same thing till she got to the end of the pamphlet."Can you please show me the Kitchen now?" Kim asked looking at Ruby.Ruby said no words but began to walk. Kim looked at Landon and saw he wasn't even looking at her.She stood up and began to follow behind Ruby.Landon raised his head as soon as Kimberly stood up and he stared at her backside."Why is she so beautiful? But just so annoying?" He thought as he glared at her.Kim felt Landon's eyes on her backside an
Kimberly grabbed the pamphlet, sat on the couch, and began to read starting from the beginning. She realized that he had lots of allergies.He is allergic to crabs, too much chilly pepper, sugar, and too much milk, very cold food, and many more"How will he even enjoy himself when he is allergic to almost everything? And he has the money. I wish I had this huge money without allergies." She thought looking around the house again.She kept reading when she heard someone walk behind her. She quickly looked back and she saw it was Landon. This time, he looks calm and better than earlier."Why are you sitting down here?" He asked with his hands in his side pockets."Because I have nowhere to sit. How are you feeling?" She asked still sitting."That is none of your business, get up and go up to your room," Landon said and Kimberly's eyes widened."I have a room! I have a room in this mansion?" She asked aloud in astonishment before she could caution herse
Kimberly followed behind Landon with different kinds of thoughts rushing through her mind."What if he tries to have sex with me in the room? Is this how he treats his maids? No wonder he had no one before me." She concluded.Landon knew Kimberly was awkwardly silent, so he left her to whatever must be going through her mind.He opened the door to his room and walked in, leaving the door open so Kimberly could walk in.Kimberly prayed silently standing at the door and looking at Landon suspiciously."Is that where you would do the cleaning?" Landon asked glaring at her from inside the room and her eyes widened."Oh, it's about cleaning." She said walking into the room in haste, perhaps her mind must have wandered a little far."So what am I to clean?" She asked and Landon walked up to the door and locked it making Kim look at him in confusion."You don't have to lock the door. It's just cleaning right." She muttered fearfully."This
Alexandra sat on the chair in front of the ward Kimberly's father was. He was down because he knew he would never win over Kimberly's heart no matter what he did.Kimberly's mother named Rachel noticed this and also felt bad for him. He has been nothing but a blessing to their family. Why isn’t Kim seeing he is the one meant for her.“Alex,” Rachel called and Alex looked at her.“Yes.” He responded trying to smile.“I know you feel sad Alex. You don’t have to pretend you are okay.” She said and Alex sighed.“I understand Kimberly ma'am. She doesn’t love me, and love can’t be forced.” He declared and Rachel shook her head.“Love can’t be forced but can be grown. If she gives you a chance, she would love you as time goes on.” She said and Alex smiled.“I don’t think she is even ready to give me a chance.” He said.“She has to. You have been so generous to us In this family. You deserved to be happy.” Rachel said reaching for her phone.
Kimberly walked to the kitchen, having no idea what breakfast Landon will love. She remembered what she read in the pamphlet and agreed to do something very simple and light for him.“Pancakes!” Her brain alerted, and she smiled widely as she stood in front of the fridge.She knew the Pancakes would have less sugar and milk since he happened to be allergic to them.Landon picked up his laptop from his room and moved to the Living room to do some little work before breakfast.He went to the website where all his companies and businesses were listed. He began to read up the reviews he had on each of the companies and businesses.He was impressed with what he saw until he got to one of his Fashion designing Companies in Kansas City called ‘Blue Room Company'.He saw Reviews like…“They are so disappointing and they aren’t good at most of the things they do.”This got Landon upset, and he picked up his phone to make a phone call to R
