A Night with Mr Arrogant (Episode 7)


EPISODE 7


“I’m telling you, Jane is not efficient enough. Alex won that contract because of her carelessness!” Jackson said angrily.
He step out of his car and head towards the entrance door of my mansion.

Bright open the door and enter, Jackson followed behind and close the door with a loud bang.

“Jackson, you have to calm down” Bright said.

Jackson turned to him with anger filled eyes and he shut his mouth instantly.

“Calm down? I sent her over to Alex undercover with so much effort, and this is how she performs!” he said through gritt teeth.

” But Jackson, you know Alex is a hard nut to crack. This is just the beginning of her mission, let’s give her some time”

Jackson close his eyes and open them, his eyes were darkened in anger and hatred.
” Tell her I’ll let one mistake slide, next time if something like this happens, I’ll make her life a living hell. Alex Ray is going down!” he said and head upstairs to his room.

“Where are you going? Aren’t you gonna eat dinner?” Bright asked gesturing to the dinning table. I see food on the table already.

“I’ll be back in a few, I wanna freshen up” Jackson said and continue his journey to his room.

He speed past Mirabel on the stairs, her face bow towards the ground.
He couldn't see her face clearly and he don’t even wish to. I guess she’s the housekeeper Bright hired.

Heading downstairs, Mirabel heard his boss talking on top of his voice.
So Jackson Mark is really cold-hearted as everyone say he is, I can’t believe I was feeling regretful for agreeing to do this.
How can he plan to take someone down? How many people is he going to damage their lives? I murmured to myself.

He walks up the stairs, and I bow my head afraid of looking him in the eyes, I remember Bright specifically told me never to look Jackson in the eyes.

He slows down a little when he gets to where I was, but he didn’t stop, he continues to his room.

I quickly walk towards Bright.

“Hey, Mirabel! I see you’ve cook dinner already!”

“Yeah. Do you live here too?” I asked.

“I wish. I only acommpany Bright home, to make sure he gets home fine” he answered and begin to walk towards the dinning table. I follow closely behind.

“So what did you make?”

“Rice and vegetables salad, and some cornbread” I said.

” Wow! Jackson's favorite! I know you two will get along” he said.

Me and that life destroyer get along? Ha. In his dreams. I’ll make sure I expose his secret to the whole world.
It’s a pity someone as good as Bright is friends with that monster.
Bright makes himself comfortable in a chair. Just then Jackson comes in and sits at the head of the table.

I bow my head immediately.

“Mirabel, please serve the food!” Bright said.

“Yes, sir!” I said.

He grunts.
“Don’t start with the sir thing again, my name is Bright” he said.

” Yes, Bright”

” That’s more like it” Bright said.

I serve the food into their plates and stand aside while they begin to eat.
Bright puts a spoonful in his mouth and close his eyes, he moan at the sweetness of the food.
“Mirabel, you put your foot on this one. It’s delicious!” Bright praised me.

I couldn’t help the giggle that left my mouth.
Just when I feeling good and proud of my kitchen skills, Jackson spits out the food he puts in his mouth.
He quickly reach for his glass of water and take large gulps. He put the glass down on the table and stand up.

My CRUSH (Episode 6)


EPISODE 6

I took a seat beside Desmond;
” Hey ” I greeted
” Hi, so how is it going? ” he asked with a smirk on his lips.
” Going well, you? ”
” Great ” he replied.
” Am glad ” I said and winked.
” I see you are trying hard, but trust me it’s not going to work on me ” he smirk again.
” I'm not going to force you sweetheart,  I said and smiled.
” Then what? ”
” Nothing ” I replied.
” You are crazy ” he said and laughed.
” Guys, use a room ” Daniel shouted
” We are not making out ” I said and rolled my eyes
” I think you are about to ” Thompson said;
” What? ” That was when I found out how close our faces are to each other. I couldn’t help but to blush.
I remove a strand of hair form my face and smiled.
” You are falling Sweetheart ” He whispered.
” Shut up, I'm not ” I replied;
” Okay, if you say so ” He replied and took a piece of his pancake. I stare at him as he chew. His lips are so damn pink.
” Stop dreaming sweetheart, I won’t kiss you, he said and I snapped out of my thought.
” I never asked you to ” I replied;
” You were starring at my lips like you want to cut it off, Desmond said and I bite my bottom lips
” You are such an idiot, I said and drank my milk.
” We are six here ” Jack said.
” So? ” I asked.
” Too bad, you guys only see yourselves ” He said.
” Is there something going on between you two? ” Daniel asked.
” What? Of course not ” Desmond answered.
” But...”
” Shut up Jack” Desmond snapped and walk away.
Jack raised an eyebrow at me while I focus on my food.

*Desmond, I will get you no matter what, I murmured to myself.*

*********************************


(Desmond and Julie walking in the garden)

Wow, I love this place, Julie said happily at the view of the ice cream shop.
" You love it because of the ice cream, He said even though he wasn’t looking at me.
" You might be right, I said and laughed
What flavor do you want? the shopman asked..
"Vanilla chocolate, I replied almost immediately.
"How about your boyfriend? shopman asked and I blushed.
" he’s not...
"Okay.. the shopman said and left
" Why can’t you just tell him the truth, Desmond said;
" That you will soon be? I replied.
" In your dream... He said and I smiled.
Here you go, the ice cream man said,  handing over the ice cream to us.
"Thank you...
"But I never asked for ice-cream, he blurted.
Gosh, how can I stand this brat.
Just try it.. I said.
" No, you can have everything, he replied and walked forward.
" I ran after him, and put the ice cream in his mouth.

A Night with Mr Arrogant (Episode 6)


EPISODE 6

“Here’s your card, sir” the cashier lady said to him.
He takes back his card and carries our basket. I didn’t bother to stop him from carrying mine, cause honestly, it’s kinda heavy.

“So, are you taking a cab?” He asks the minute we step outside.

“Cab? What’s wrong with all of you guys living in LA? You guys depend on cab, a lot” I said.

“So that means you’re walking?”

” Yeah. It’s just a stone throw” I said.

“Ok, I’ll acommpany you”.

Wait, what? No, I just start working there today, I can’t just show it to anyone, I murmured to myself.
“You don’t have to, I can walk there on my own” I told him.

“I insist. I need to make sure you arrive safe and sound”.

” But I… ”

” No buts” he interupts me.

No, I have to say something. I can’t let him go with me.

“Vic, I was just joking about the cab thing. I’m taking a cab” I said.

He smile approvingly.
” Good girl. Now let’s get you in a cab”
He stops a cab and gestures for me to enter. I reluctantly enter, he gives my basket back to me.

“Call me when you get home” he said.

“Ok, I’ll” I replied.

I wave at him and tell the cab driver to drive. I watch Vic wave me good bye, until the cab is out of sight.

Within the twinkling of an eye, the cab stop. I step out and pay the driver, leaving the change as a tip.
When the security sees me with the basket, he rushes to me and help me carry it inside.

“Thank you… Paul” I said reading his name from his badge.

“It’s no problem at all” he said and goes out.

I put all the stuff in places where they belong. I look at the time, it’s 4:43pm. I remember I’m supposed to make dinner before 6pm.
I put my hair in a messy bun and gets down to business. I decide to prepare Rice and vegetable salad, and some cornbread.

By the time I’m done, it’s already 5:50pm. I quickly dish the food and set them on the dinning table.
Then I hurry to my room to take a shower, I can’t smell like cheese when I meet with the almighty Jackson Mark, right.
After taking my bath, I change into some clean clothes, a white shorts and big orange t-shirt.
Just then my phone starts ringing, I picked it up, it’s Lizzy calling.

“Hello, Lizzy”

“Hey… Mirabel. Are you at his house now? How is he treating you?” She asks.

I roll my eyes at her questions.
” I just resume work today, remember? And besides, I haven’t seen him yet. His friend brief me on what to do this morning, but I’m hoping to see him this evening” I answered.

” Good. Thank you once again for doing this. So have you seen any guy yet, I know the guys there are super hot” she said.

She’s right though, that stranger from last night is super hot! Wait, why am I thinking about him!. But I can say Vic is hot, even Bright is hot too.

“Yeah, you can say that”

“You should thank me for sending you over there, at least now you can get your virgin ass a boyfriend!” She said.

I tense when she mentioned the word ‘ virgin,’ she thinks I’m still one, and I’ll leave it that way for now.
Cause I honestly don’t know how to tell her that I gave my virginity to a total stranger, that I might never meet ever.

“Mirabel, are you still with me?” She asks.

“Yeah”

“Please don’t blow your cover, my career is depending on you” she said.

Just then I hear the front door open and close with a loud bang.
” Lizzy, I got to go now. I guess my new boss is home, I better go attend to him”.

” Alright, no problem. Good luck” she said.

I hang up and head downstairs. I guess is time to see the fearless Jackson Mark.

My CRUSH (episode 5)


EPISODE 5

Desmond walked up to me and stood in front of me.
” What do you want? ” I asked without looking up.
” Do you really like me that much? ” Desmond asked;
” It’s even worst because you never noticed ” I replied.
” So why didn’t you tell me? ” he asked
” I thought you will reject me ” I replied him.
” So should I do it now? ” Desmond asked and I looked at him.
” Will you? ” I asked him;
” I don’t know ” He said and struggle my shoulder.
” Why? I asked him;
” I don’t like you ” Desmond confessed;
” Should we make a bet?  I asked;
” What bet? Desmond replied;
” If I make you fall in love with me, then I will become your girlfriend, I told him.
” And if not? ” Desmond asked with interest;
” I will go back to the time before I met you guys ” I replied and he nodded.
”Cool, am in, Desmond winked and got into his car and drove off.

****************************

(Julie interacting with Ella)

” Are you kidding me? What if he doesn’t fall in love with you? ” Ella asked with a concern look.
” Don’t worry about me Ella, I’ve always waited for this moment all my life ” I said and smirk.
” I trust you, but.....
” No but, I'm doing this. I snapped;
” Okay, at your feet bess ” she said and I smiled.
” The first thing on my schedule plan is sitting together at lunch ” I said and smiled.
” So, we are sitting with them during lunch? ” Ella asked in surprise
” Yeah ” I winked
” Go girl!! ” she screamed out so loud that students all turned toward us.
” Cool down, I said as we got to the class.

I saw Desmond entered the classroom with his friends, I smiled at him and he returned the smile. I know exactly what’s going on in his mind.
Don’t worry boyfriend, I'm ready for this.
” Julie!! Attention!!! ” The teacher yelled
” Sorry!! ” I yelled back.

**********************
Finally it’s lunch period, I walk out with Ella who seem nervous all over.

” Calm down Ella, it’s just lunch. And besides you are not gentle remember? So why the sudden change? Wait, don’t tell me you have a crush on one of the boys.” I said suspiciously
” What? Of course not ” she replied immediately.
" Hmm, okay let’s go, I grab her hand and we walked toward them.
” Hey Julie sit with us, Jackson said;
” Good thing they ask us first ” I whispers to Ella.
” Are you sure? ” I asked feeling reluctant.
” Of course ” Thompson said.

I took a seat beside Desmond;
” Hey ” I greeted
” Hi, so how is it going? ” he asked with a smirk on his lips.
” Going well, you? ”
” Great ” he replied.
” Am glad ” I said and winked.
” I see you are trying hard, but trust me it’s not going to work on me ” he smirk again.

A Night with Mr Arrogant (episode 5)


EPISODE 5

I take in a deep breath after reading through the dos and don’ts. I raise my head and sees Bright looking at me curiously.
“Aren’t you going to ask any questions?” He asks.
I shake my head.
“Nope. I’m fine with all of them, after all, with you as my boss I have nothing to worry about”
He laughs.
” Well, I’m sorry to disappoint you. I’m not .

It took me three whole hours to finish arranging my room and unpack my luggage.
I fall on my bed and rolling with a wide smile on my face, breathing in the freshness of the room and I sigh in contentment.
Just then my stomach growls, reminding me that I need food like right now.
I hurry downstairs to the kitchen to make something to eat. I open cabinets one after the other, but didn’t find any food stuffs.
Does this Jackson never cook?. I decide to settle for some fruits instead, and maybe go to the grocery store later.
But I’m disappointed at what I saw, the fridge is totally empty.

Who is this Jackson guy? Doesn’t he know that food is life? Hmm, well I’m here now.
And since I don’t joke with food, I’ll stuck this place with lots of food.
I should head to the grocery store right now.
I hurried back to my room upstairs and grab my purse. Then I head out.
I made it to the gate when I realized, I don’t know the way to the store from here.
Luckily the security guard is patrolling, I called for him and signal him to come over.

“Do you need anything, Miss?”

“Mirabel, my name is Mirabel. Please call me that, this whole ‘Miss’ thing is too formal” I said.

He laughs a little bit.
“Ok, Mirabel how you need my help?” He asked.

“Please I need your help with direction, I need to go to the grocery store” I said.

“Oh, it’s not hard to find. One is just down the road, let’s say five poles from here. A cab can take you there”

I scoff. A cab? Really? People just waste money unnecessarily.
“I’ll walk, see you later!” I said.

“Mirabel, you….”

I wave him off with a small smile and walk away.

It didn’t take that long before I arrive at the store. Now it’s time to get down to business, I pick a basket and begin to fill it with food stuffs.
I pick out some pasta, rice sachets, all purpose flour, tin skin tomatoes, milk, venegar, chilli powder, cheese, chicken and some stock fish, cabbage and potatoes.
I turn around as if I’m forgetting something.
Then I lock gaze with it, my favorite recipe of all, Honey! And it’s the only one remaining, I reach out to get it.
But someone beats me to it, my eyes follow the hand to its owner.
And I’m met with a sexy smile from a handsome guy, I think we should be of the same age or he’ll can be older than me.

“That’s mine” I said.

“Well, hello to you too” he said and wink at me.

I furrow my brows and glare at him. I don’t joke with honey and this guy just took the last one here, he’s so going to suffer from my fist.

I drop my basket and gets ready to snatch it from him. He seems to notice my stance, so he chuckled.

“Calm down, tigress! I reached for it first, but I’m a gentleman and since you want this so badly I’ll give it to you wholeheartedly” he said and hand the honey to me.

An instant smile spreads all over my face. I put it in my basket.

“Thank you, sir” I said.

He laughs.
“Sir? Oh, please. My name is Victor, but you can call me Vic” he said.

“Alright, Vic. Thanks”

I carry my basket and head to the cashier. I hear Victor's footsteps behind me, I guess he’s following me.

“Emm.. I didn’t catch your name” he said.

“That’s because I didn’t tell you” I said. And smirk slyly.

“Oh, I can give you a name of my choice then” he said.

I stop walking and turn to him, looking at him curiously. He studies my face for a moment, and breaks into a smile.

“You have blue eyes, I’ll call you Crystal” he said.
“Crystal?”

” Yeah, you’ve got shinny blue eyes, so Crystal!”
I nod.

“That’s not a bad name. I like it!” I said.

He grins widely. We made it to the cashier, l bring out my purse and take out my credit card.
I hand over to the cashier, but Victor holds my hand and give his own credit card to the cashier. I look at him in confusion.

“I’ll pay” he said.

I remove my hand from his hold, and shake my head.
“No, thanks. I have money to cover it” I said.
“Please let me pay, you can pay me back in some other way”
“What other way? I don’t even know you, I only know your name”, I said.
“How about we get some coffee and get to know each other?” He suggests.
“No, I’m kinda busy today. Today’s my first day at work, I can’t get in trouble with my boss” I told him.
“I’m not talking about today, maybe tomorrow or next, or whenever you are free?”
“How will you know when I’m free. I can just leave and this can be the last you see me” I said.
He thinks about it for a while, then brings out his cell phone.
“Here. Put your number on it” he said.
I cross my arms across my chest.
” I don’t give my number to strangers”
“We’re past strangers, Crystal. We’re almost friends already, though I consider you my friend as it is now” he said.
Hmm. I can use his company sometimes when I’m bored at the mansion.
And he can be my very first friend here in LA, I need someone to give me a tour too.

I take the phone from him and type my number in. He dialed the number and my phone starts to ring.
“That’s my number, save it” he said.
“Here’s your card, sir” the cashier lady said to him.
He takes back his card and carries our basket. I didn’t bother to stop him from carrying mine, cause honestly, it’s kinda heavy.

A Night with Mr Arrogant (Episode four)


EPISODE FOUR

After that embarrassing moment at the road, I finally made it to the mansion where I will work as a housekeeper.
I saw a bell button at the gate and pressed the button , then wait for a while.

A security guard comes out and walk towards me.

“How may I help you, Miss?” He asks me.

“I have an interview with Mr Mark this morning” she said.

He opens the gate and she enter the compound.
And, sweet baby Jesus, the compound is darn big.
The mansion itself is big enough to house hundreds of people. A small fountain stands in the middle of the compound.

“This way, Miss” the security guard said.

She follow the guard towards the entrance of the mansion. We reach the door and he opens it.

“After you” he said.

I step into the mansion and I’m welcomed by a cool breeze and a nice fragrance.
I close my eyes and take a deep breath, tasting the freshness of the house.
I open my eyes and come face to face with a blonde hair guy, he has a smile on his lips.

“Are you alright, Miss?” He asks.

My cheeks warm up and I feel blush creeping up my face. I know I’m poor, but I don’t have to show it everywhere I go, right?.
I turn around to see if the guard is still behind me, but he’s not. I turn back to this blonde hair guy and put on a fake smile.

“I’m fine, sir” I reply.

He nods.
“Call me Bright. You are Miss Mirabel Johnson, I presume?” He asks.

” Yes, sir” he glares at me. “I mean Bright” I quickly correct myself.

“Good. So, come in” he ushers me to a sofa and gestures for me to sit down.
I sit down.

“So…. You already got the job. I just have to put you through all the things you need to know. I wrote them down on this paper that I’m gonna give to you, please study them to avoid any mistakes in the future” he said.

He hands me a sheet of paper. I glance through it quickly.

Rules:-
1: Always wake up by 5am to cook breakfast.
2: Never look into your bosses eyes.
3: Always replace your bosses bedsheets and blankets every morning after he wakes up.
4: Make sure dinner is ready before 6pm.
5: Never go to bed before your boss.
6: On raining days, always remember to turn on the house heaters.
7: Always remember to persuade your boss into taking his medicine every night.

I take in a deep breath after reading through the dos and don’ts. I raise my head and sees Bright looking at me curiously.
