As Ray's personal maid, Mirabelle was grateful for the job and the clothes that he had provided for her. Growing up in poverty, she had never had the luxury of owning nice clothing or even clothes to change into. Ray had taken pity on her situation and had decided to help her out.Although she was nervous about living with him and serving him, Mirabelle was determined to do her best to make Ray happy and prove her worth.

She knew that things could have been so different if he had not offered her this opportunity, and she was determined to never take it for granted.As Ray watched Mirabelle on the phone with her mother, he couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction.

Mirabelle couldn't stop thinking about the moment with Ray. She felt a mix of emotions, but most of all, she felt confused."Why did you stop me?" Ray asked, breaking the silence between them.Mirabelle took a deep breath before answering, "I just need some time to figure out my feelings, Ray.""But I can't keep my feelings for you inside any longer. I have to tell you that I love you," Ray confessed.Mirabelle felt her heart skip a beat. Was Ray really in love with her? She didn't know how to respond."I don't know what to say, Ray. I need time to process this," she finally said.Ray nodded, understandingly, "Take all the time you need, Mirabelle. I just hope that you can see how much I care for you."As Ray walked away, Mirabelle couldn't help but feel a sense of regret. What if she was making a big mistake by not giving him a chance? She knew that she needed to sort out her feelings before making any decisions.
