Chapter 11: 30-Day Personal Maid Contract

Anna's POV

When Isaac wrapped his arms around me, I thought I'd be up all night. But he just rested his hand on my waist and didn't try anything else. It made me feel both jittery and oddly comforted.

"Ouch!" The next morning, I tried to get up and ended up bumping my head into Isaac's chin.

He frowned but still reached out to rub my head.

I quickly stopped him because my hair was already a mess, and any more ruffling would make it worse.

Isaac seemed to think I didn't like his gesture and headed downstairs.

After freshening up, I was about to put on my clothes when I noticed a brand new black dress hanging by the mirror, perfectly my size.

I slipped it on over a white shirt, giving off that classic school uniform vibe. It made me look sweet and elegant, with a perfect fit that slimmed my waist and elongated my legs.

With just a bun, I looked like a whole new person in the mirror.

When I went downstairs, I saw Isaac at the dining table. He stared at me for a few seconds, then quickly looked away.

"I'm sorry," I said, walking towards him.

Isaac ignored me. After a few minutes, he finally looked at me and said, "Do you remember who hugged me all night, calling out Danial's name?"

I was stunned for a moment. I must have dreamt of Danial last night.

At first, I dreamt that time had stopped before Danial's birthday, and none of those awful things had happened.

Then, I dreamt that his face became hideous. I followed him into a cage with no way out, scratching and biting him, wishing he'd just die.

I awkwardly looked up at Isaac. "Really? I didn't do anything more, did I?"

Isaac's expression changed. "Anna, do you still want to do something else with him in your dreams?"

Just as I was about to explain, Nick came over with a tray.

"Isaac, you don't get a girl's thoughts. A first love is always unforgettable, right, Anna?" Nick teased.

Isaac's face grew even darker. He put down his fork and went to the study with the butler waiting outside.

Then it was just Nick and me. I awkwardly looked at the floor and said, "I'm going to school now, Mr. Nick Allen. And please, don't mention Danial in front of Isaac."

Nick stared at me for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled. His mischievous grin always made him seem charming to everyone."Anna, ever since you said Danial wanted you to give yourself to him, I've had someone keep an eye on him," Nick said, tapping the table lightly with two fingers. "I was the one who told Isaac the news yesterday."

I was stunned by Nick's words and said, "Really? Thank you so much, Mr. Nick Allen."

Nick reached out and pinched my chin. "My men also helped Isaac's men clean up the scene and destroy any evidence that could harm Isaac. How do you plan to thank me?"

I looked at Nick in shock. "Thank you for saving me a second time, Mr. Nick Allen. You must have known what kind of person Danial was, right?"

I remembered that time at the bar when Nick defended Danial. No wonder he called me foolish when I thanked him on Danial's behalf.

There were so many girls with blonde or similar hair colors in the cheerleading squads. Danial was definitely cheating that day.

"Yeah, I knew, Anna," Nick replied. "Do you think I'm like them?"

"No, I don't think that," I quickly said.

To me, Nick was a bit better than them.

Nick continued, "Then why did you bring up the last time I helped you? Do you think I helped you that day just to take you out and have sex?"

"It's really not that; I'm sorry," I answered, clenching my hands as my breath quickened with nervousness, though I did have that thought for a moment.

Nick leaned back in his chair and shook his head helplessly. "I didn't want to have sex with you. I swear on my luck, I never did and never will, and I certainly won't fall in love with you. That day, I just needed a substitute. You and the girl in my room looked a bit like someone else."

I was stunned for a moment, then immediately relaxed. "That's good. I hope you can be with the person you like soon."

I didn't expect someone like Nick, a playboy, to have someone he longed for in his heart. No wonder he handcuffed me to the table that day, making me watch him have sex with that girl. He really was a madman.

Suddenly, I felt like I hadn't completely wronged him.

Nick pressed his forehead, looking even more troubled. "Of course that's impossible; no one can demand that I change myself. Although she grew up with me, her only request was that I put on a facade in front of her. Behind the scenes, I could be however I wanted."

Hearing such explosive news, I couldn't help but be surprised. "So you don't even want to pretend to be decent in front of her? No wonder she doesn't want to get back together."

Nick frowned even more. "I didn't ask her to get back together. She came to me twice, but I refused. But Anna, didn't anyone ever teach you social skills?"

I realized I had said something too harsh, so I carefully replied, "I was raised by my grandmother alone, and she wasn't good at these things either. She only taught me how to farm crops and vegetables, insisting that this way, I would never go hungry."

Nick suddenly laughed. "How can you be so silly? You're the complete opposite of her."

"I'm not silly," I retorted softly, afraid he would get angry.

Nick stood up and looked down at me. "A silly girl like you probably can't think of a good way to thank me. In that case, be my personal maid for thirty days."

I took a step back and asked cautiously, "Personal maid? You don't want me to cosplay as the person you like and have sex with you?"

I suddenly remembered that Nick once pretended to be Isaac and gave me a cat ear headband, saying that playing different maid roles was popular among many people. After putting it on , I nearly ended up having intercourse with Isaac.

The next second, Nick suddenly pressed me onto the table, pinning my upper body down.
