(I was about to step out when Thelma stopped me)
"Being a maid must suck, but you should know your place" Thelma said, she continued when she didn't get any reaction from me. "People like you should know where you belong, and if you want to continue to work here, you'd better watch your back." She said and turned towards the bags on the bed and waved her hand dismissing me.
I walked out quietly, trying hard to restrain myself from punching her in the face. Not like I could do that even if I had the chance.
I walked to the kitchen and saw Janet reading, she was so into the book, that she didn't notice when I sneaked behind her and whispered into her ears. She jumped out of her seat with shock written all over her face, her book flying out of her hands.
"What was that for?" She asked looking very annoyed.
"Nothing, I just wanted to scare you. And it worked." I replied laughing at her reaction."So how d
Cindy's POVMum was getting a lot better as the days went by and that was great. Brian has also been all over me since the day he asked me to be his girlfriend. It was so sweet of him honestly but it was also very overwhelming since it was my first relationship. Mum didn't know about Brian and I, she would explode if she finds out. But anyways everything has been going great...Brian's POV "Get me the documents!! This isn't supposed to be happening." I shouted at my secretary.I have been expecting some goods from overseas and they were supposed to be arriving anytime this week but from the look of things, it just seems to have disappeared into thin air. I just don't get it, I think there is someone behind this...someone who wants me to look like a failure in father's eyes... I'm very sure of that.
"Oh God! What have I done?"I quickly picked my clothes and put them on immediately rushing out of the room. I was still in shock at what had just taken place and I really don't know what came over me... I mean I don't know if I was ready, I probably should have given this some more thought but the thing was, he honestly didn't force me too. I needed to think about this and I was so not in the mood right now for anything else.I snuck into the room I shared with my mum and quietly got into bed. I hoped tomorrow was going to be a better day...I woke up feeling sore...you know where. I walked into the kitchen and saw both my mum and Janet preparing breakfast. I guess my mum was now feeling better since she was all over the place preparing for the Smiths."Good morning" I greeted everyone.""Good morning dear, hope you're good." My mum responded."Yes mum I'm doing great." I smiled, grateful for the fact that she didn't notice that
Cindy's POV"It's been 10 days... 10 days since the last time I saw Brian, and my life has being miserable since. I came back from the mall with Janet expecting to see him, since it was the weekend but he wasn't around.The worst thing was, I didn't know who to ask since all the people who might know Brian's whereabouts were people I couldn't directly speak to.I tried gathering enough confidence to ask Lisa but I kept thinking about everything that could go wrong if I asked her. I mean, no one knew we were a thing and Lisa and Thelma were best friends so my guess is she hates me too. She hasn't directly been rude to me but she plain out ignores my very existence so I wasn't taking any chances.Today was Monday and the house was functioning as usual. All the maids were doing their jobs and Janet and I had been asked to clean the rooms of all the occupants in t
🍒Brian's POVBusiness was going smoothly even though my life was in a mess right now but that was besides the point. I haven’t heard from Cindy in a long while and it was taking a toll on me. Honestly what kind of a boyfriend was I? I never bothered to ask her for her number, since we practically lived in the same house. I didn't even know if she had a phone, God I was really the worst. I’m wondering what she thinks of me now. Did she hate me? Had she met someone new? All these questions were racing in my mind. I heard a knock on my hotel room door and walked towards the door to find out who it was.Cindy's POV My morning sickness was getting worse and I was having a hard time hiding it from my mum. Life went back to the boring old days before I met Brian. The only differe
Cindy’s POV“You’re fired!”“You’re fired!”The sentence kept resonating in my head.I didn’t know what I was going to do with myself.I didn’t know if my mum was fired too, and I hope to God that she wasn't.We have worked here for so long, that I didn’t know what to do with my life, should I leave. I hadn't saved enough for university, and I wouldn’t even have a place to lay my head.I was currently in Janet’s room crying my eyes out.My mum won’t speak to me and that made it even worse.I was now regretting my actions, what was I thinking, what in the world encouraged me to date someone like Brian?Life didn't work like that.This wasn’t a fairytale, where the poor girl ends up with the rich charming prince. My crazy mind made me b
Cindy's POVMy hotel room was very luxurious, and what more could you expect from a five star hotel actually?The room was spacious and well decorated but my tired mind barely paid any attention to my surroundings. All I could think about was lying down on the inviting, cozy looking king-sized bed with comfy sheets.I hopped onto the bed forgetting my problems for a while and then drifted to sleep almost immediately.The next morning came by quickly, the knock on my door woke me up. I groggily jumped out of bed and stumbled towards the door. I opened the door and was met with a warm smile from a uniformed man who had a tray full of food. "Good morning ma'am, room service. I ushered the man in and he set the food on the little table across the room. I thanked him and he walked out.I went to the wash
Cindy's POVLiving in Mr. Mike’s house was amazing. Everyone was friendly and Grace was very understanding when I told her about my pregnancy. She was over the moon when she realised that there was going to be another addition to the house. I basically have to beg the lovely woman to work ever since she got to know about my situation.One month later…I was now four months through my pregnancy and I’m starting to show. It's still not that obvious though, and it's almost inconspicuous when I wear baggy clothes.To be honest, Dr. Mike has been nothing but a Godsend. The kind man has always been there for me making sure I never missed any doctors appointment, and doing everything he could to ensure my and the baby's comfort. I was truly blessed. We had become so close that he gets very pissed when I call him Dr. Mike but he knows that it has become a habit now that I'm trying real h
Chapter 15Brian's POV(Six months later)I took off my suit and loosened my tie immediately after I got to the hotel room.I’d being living here for five months and it still looked cold and plain like no one resided there.My one month business trip had turned to three weeks in New York and five months in London and counting.The business deals with Elon Musk's company had been successful and our stocks in the international market were yielding impressive results. I was ready to go back home when something unexpected happened.My dad had called to inform me that word had gotten to him that one of our branches in the UK was near bankrupt. Needless to say, it needed my urgent attention. Merchandise were disappearing and no one had any idea how it was happening.I flew to London and immediately called for a private in
