My Strict Housemaid (EP 18)

 (Episode 18)

They had parting hugs and kisses, and they went to their car while Lucy followed behind Elvis still giving him those scary smile.

Elvis drove home unable to shake off the feeling he was having.

Lucy rushed inside and left the food basket for him to carry. He sighed tiredly and left the basket in the car.

He entered the living room and found about ten different ladies sitting on the couch.

Lucy was standing beside one of them with a very stern look.

I knew it! All her smiles were pretentious, Elvis murmured.

He ignored them and made to go his room but Lucy's voice stopped him in his tracks.

“Your mother said you need a wife so I brought these girl for you to choose from or you need more girls?” she queried and he looked at her.

“Your mother said you need a wife so I brought these girl for you to choose from or you need more girls?” she queried and he looked at her.

He looked furious, seems she struck a nerve.

“Report to her that I Elvis Jonathan would never accept anything from her definitely neither of these sluts. Tell her I said she’s has no say over my life and if she keeps these up, she’s going to cease being my mother” he fired at her and went to the kitchen angrily.

Lucy decided not to argue with him so she faced the ladies instead “Okay girls, our guy isn’t interested. If he eventually picks any, I’ll let you know” she saw them off and made to go to her room when she noticed the floor. She don’t know where he got the dirts from within a short period of time and there was a lot of them on the floor going from the kitchen to the hallway and to other bedrooms.

He emerged from one of the rooms, still very angry. “If you had better things to do or a house to clean, you wouldn’t follow her orders” he said and threw a roll of trash bags at me before going out.

His mother was the one that sent me a text last time, begging me to get her son a girlfriend, Lucy said within herself.

A Night with Mr Arrogant (EP 38)

Episode 38

Right from my childhood everything that I had were taken from me, so I made a vow to myself that I will never let that happen ever again, Jackson said in a very low tune.

So he won’t give any guy chance to take Mirabel.

“I…. I…” I’m short of words.

I don’t know why I feel guilty every time I do something that Jackson doesn’t approve of.

It’s always like I owe him explanations, why?.

He turn to Paul and takes the box from him.

“Paul, you can go” he said.

Paul runs out as if his pants is on fire.

Jackson walks towards me, he stops right in front of me, our chest touching.

He leans down and whisper in my ear.

“I’ll let this slide, but I don’t want to see you hanging out with other men” he said.

Is that it? Is he not gonna yell at me?

He stands straight and look at me waiting for my reply.

I nod my head stiffly.

“And also, no more revealing clothes. I want you to burn all your clothes”

” Why?” I blunt out.

” Because I don’t like them” he said.

“Then what am I gonna wear?”

“Don’t worry I’ll fill your wardrobe” he said.

He hands the box to me.

” So about what I asked you this morning, are you going with me?” He asks.

Lizzy's words replay in my mind. I have to get close to him and win his trust, before I can know what his secrets are.

“Yes, I will.. I said.

He smiles.

“Good. I swear you’re not gonna regret this”

Well I hope so.

“Go and get changed into the dress in the box” he said.

My eyes grows wide.

“You bought me a new dress?”

He nod. He hands me a small bag, I open it and saw silver shoes.

“Thanks. Then I’ll go get changed now” I said and head upstairs.

I don’t think I’ll have time to bath, I just wash my face and change into the dress straight away.

I sit on my dresser and apply a little red lipstick on my lips. I make my eyebrows a little darker and apply mascara on my eyelashes.

That’s all I know how to do.

I wore the silver pump. Then I look at myself up in the mirror.

I look wow! I could hardly recognize m

My Strict Housemaid (episode 17)

Episode 17

“Lucy, do you know Elvis loves drawing?” Pat asked.

Her eyes perked up “Really?”

Elvis gave Pat a cold look and dug into his food angrily.

“So he can draw very well?” Lucy asked.

“He’s super good at it” Pat said.

“Wow”

“Lucy, I know Elvis has been giving you trouble lately but can you please bear with him for our sakes? He can be such a pin in the ass at times”.

“OMG Jane!” Lucy faked surprise “How do you know?”

“See Pat? I told you he’ll trouble her” Jane turned to her husband.

Pat shared a glance with Elvis who opened his mouth to object.

Lucy shot him a look that shut him up instantly but he mumbled something under his breath about the injustice of life.

“If the situation is intense, call me” jane punched her numbers in Lucy's phone.

She nodded understandingly and gave Elvis a mischievous look which he returned with a glare.

If he’s looking at me this way, she wonder what he’ll do when he sees what she have prepared for him at home.

We were having the pinic quietly until Pat and Jane opened their mouth to ruin everything. First Pat told her I can draw, that’s too personal for her to know, Elvis silently said to himself.

He was eating his food angrily and glanced up when he heard Jane saying those things to Lucy.

What’s Jane saying? It’s Lucy that’s giving me trouble not the other way round, he murmured.

“Sir, do you want more?” Lucy asked with smiles in attempt to give him another plate of food.

“No” he replied quickly and looked at her suspiciously, what’s she up to this time? She has never smiled at me, why’s she smiling now?

“Awwwn… she’s so cute” Jane cooed to her husband.

Jane found himself scared of her suspicious smile, he think it’s better if she frowns instead.

“Um guys…. I think it’s going to rain let’s head home” he looked at the clouds which was darkening the sky.

They had parting hugs and kisses, and they went to their car while Lucy followed behind Elvis still giving him those scary smile.

Episode 37

” Let’s not rush into anything for now, buddy” I said.

“No problem, I can wait” he said.

I turn to him, he winks at me.

I shake my head.

“Anyway, I have lots of work to do, I’ll call you later” I said.

I can’t let him know I’m having dinner with Jackson, right?.

“Okay. I’ll wait to hear your voice later” he said..

I open the door and step out, I wave him good bye until his car is out of sight.

I hurried inside the compound and head towards the main door. I can quickly get ready before Jackson gets back from the office.

I step into the living room and head upstairs, but a voice stops me.

“Did you have fun?” Mirabel?.

I turn around slowly, like how it’s done in the movies. Lol.

I saw Jackson standing with his hands tucked in his pockets, he’s glaring daggers at me, well my bare shoulder to be precise.

Paul is standing next to him, shaking in fear.

Paul is holding a small box in his hands. Hmm. I wonder what’s inside the box.

I laugh nervously.

“Jackson, you’re home early” I said.

He narrows his eyes.

“Where are you coming from?” He asked.

Uh-oh. I’m not sure he’s gonna let this go.

” Where are you coming from?” he asked again.

I hesitate, and bites my lips. 

His eyes flick to my lips and lingers there for a minute, he should be the one biting those lips

He shake the thought from his head.

“I went out to have lunch” I said.

His eyes move to my bare shoulders, her tan skin glittering.

Then he realized that other guys must have been staring at her like he's doing right now.

“You went out dressed like this?” he asked through gritt teeth.

Right from my childhood everything that I had were taken from me, so I made a vow to myself that I will never let that happen ever again, Jackson said in a very low tune.

So he won’t give any guy chance to take Mirabel.

“I…. I…” I’m short of words.

I don’t know why I feel guilty every time I do something that Jackson doesn’t approve of. I always feel like I owe him an explanation.

My Strict housemaid (episode 16)

Episode 16

She shook her head and immediately did away with her old phone after transferring all the useful files to the new one and continued chewing on her pizza.

Another message popped in, "Your driver will be with you tomorrow after Elvis leaves for work and please package a food for two tomorrow, Donald wouldn’t share with me -Pat"

He got me a driver too.

Her old phone beeped, alerting her of a new message. She skimmed through the contents and switched the phone off.

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

It's Weekend:

Lucy dropped the food basket on the grass and laid a big cloth. They are having a picnic and as a maid, her presence is needed.

Elvis sat on the cloth, she noticed he has been avoiding her, maybe he doesn’t want her to make a request again, she stood behind him.

“Can you please sit down? Having you as a maid is enough, I don’t need you act as s guard too” Elvis said to her.

“No” she replied and stood straighter, imitating a soldier’s stand.

She eventually spotted Pat, his wife, and children. His wife is what she defined as the perfect definition of beauty. She has the body of a model, eyes and hair of an angel and smile that brightens day. She started to feel self conscious and wondered if the short floral she wore was okay enough.

“Hello” Pat's wife came over to hug and kissed her cheeks. Lucy like her instantly.

“I’m Lucy” she introduced to herself.

“I’m Jane and these are my children” she nodded at a five year boy and three year old girl.

“Hi guys” Lucy waved at the children.

“Let’s sit” she gestured to the big cloth on the floor.

“Sure and let’s have a woman to woman talk” Jane cast a worry glance at Elvis who was looking at our entire exchange silently.

We formed a circle on the cloth while Jane dished out the food. Her children went out to play with other kids.

“Lucy, do you know Elvis loves drawing?” Pat asked.

Her eyes perked up “Really?”

Elvis gave Pat a cold look and dug into his food angrily.

“So he can draw very well?” Lucy asked.

Episode 36

Then we start to eat. I close my eyes to savour the taste of this hot pot, it’s sooo good.

Within the twinkling of an eye, we’ve finish everything in the bowl.

Victor open the wine and pours it into our glasses. I take a sip from my glass, and put it back on the table.

“I’m so full, Victor. You might have to carry me out” I said.

“Oh, I’d love that” he replies.

We both laugh.

“So, who is Mirabel?” He asked.

I take a deep breath.

“Well, I’m just me. I used to stay in Texas with my best friend, Lizzy. And you’re so going to love her, she’s the best best friend ever. Anyway, I moved here to work and save some money for some necessity” I said.

You know, I can’t possibly tell him that I’m here to uncover Jackson Mark’s secret.

“Hmm, that’s nice. How about you come work for me?” He asks.

“Nah. I’m good with my current job” I said.

We laughed.

” Victor, it’s your turn. Who are you” I asked.

He clears his throat.

“Well, I’m Victor Sunny. I’m the CEO of Sunny and sons. I’m 28, and I live on my own. And most importantly, I am looking for true love” he look in my eyes. “But maybe I’ve found it already” he said.

I smirk at him tryna flirt with me.

” Nice” I said.

Then it was silent for a moment, before I broke the silence.

“I wanna tour this city. Can you be my tour guide?” I asked.

“At your service” he said.

He stands up and offers me his hand. He places some money on the table and we head out.

We left the restaurant and Tyler starts to drive around LA.

We visited the sunset Boulevard, we also visited Griffith observatory and Griffith Park, the Getty center and Santa Monica pier and beach.

After getting enough touring for one day, I decide it’s time to head home.

I check the time on my phone, it’s 6:31pm. I didn’t know I have spent this so much time, you know what they say, time fly by when you’re having fun.

Right now, we’re outside Jackson’s mansion gate.

“Victor, I have a lot of fun today. Thanks for taking me out”

Episode 15

“Didn’t I ask you not to eat the food yesterday?” he shouted at Pat.

“I-I thought you wouldn’t eat it and I don’t want the food to waste” Pat looked at anywhere but avoided his gaze.

Elvis slumped down on his chair, moving it around as he pondered on if he should give in to his maid's demands or not. Well he don’t have a choice, do he?

“I need phone” he said to Pat.

“Don’t you have one?” Pat replied.

“Well did I say it’s for me?” he fires at Pat.

“You have a girlfriend?” His face brightened.

“No, it’s for Lucy"

“Ohhh…” Pat looked at him, waiting for him to explain further.

“Yeah and employ a driver for her too. Apparently she needs a driver to go to the grocery store” he said to Pat.

“I love her guts” Pat said in admiration.

“I hate her guts. She’s like a pest I can’t get rid off as much as I want to, she’s always blackmailing me! I don’t even know the adjective to qualify her?” Elvis said in anger.

“She’s strict?” Pat suggested.

“No no, that’s not it” he replied.

“Harsh?” Pat asked again.

“No, she’s not harsh. She just…..”

“Do you mean bossy?” Pat wriggled his eyebrows.

“Yeah” Elvis snapped his fingers “perfect. She’s a bossy maid”

“I like the sound of that. Can I eat your lunch?” Pat asked.

“No” Elvis snapped at him and you had better get to ordering the phone and getting a driver if you don’t want her here”.

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

Lucy heard a knock on the door and went towards it with a frown. Did Elvis forget something??

She opened the door and found a delivery man standing at the entrance.

“Are you Bossy maid?” He asked.

“Bossy maid? She questioned to be sure she heard the right thing.

“Yeah that’s what’s written here”.

“Oh okay, I guess”, she said.

“This is for you” he gave her a package and made her sign before he left.

She shifted the large box of pizza sitting on the table and unwrapped the package.

It was a phone with girly designs. She switched on the phone and a message popped on the screen.
