Chapter 13

Ah! Zoren? That annoying friend of Dwayne who lives in one of the presidential suites? I don't work for him.. He made me his slave here. My job at the front desk was already fine, but he made me his personal maid!

Lumina:

Maybe he liked your work so you got promoted right away. haha

I gasped for air. And how come that it is promoted? After all, this is not a promotion. Well, the pay went up but I became a maid!

Me :

I'm not happy, Mina.

Why is this girl still texting? Is she not at work?

Lumina :

Dwayne said that you don't come home anymore?

I sighed again. I think Mr. Buenaventura is being nosy!

Lumina :

How do I get home? He said he needs me for 24 hours!

Lumina :

Maybe he likes you.

I laughed immediately after I read Lumina's reply. Zoren did admit it last night. But I'm sure he's just giving me a good time. It's impossible for him to like me.

And what if he likes me? That's normal. I'm so beautiful. I'm not rich, but I'm still beautiful.

What I'm talking about is that it's impossible for Zoren to like me because he's a womanizer. It's definitely not his heart that's beating in him but something else.

Me :

As if!

I waited a few minutes for a reply from Lumina but none came.

I closed my eyes again but the door opened. I woke up immediately.

"Ah... I'm sorry I overslept. B-but I'm done with everything that I need to do."

"It's okay. I also finished in the office early so I went home early," he said and then lay on the sofa. I stood up suddenly.

"Are you hungry? I'll prepar— I mean I'll get you some food on the kitchen. Wait, just a moment."

I was about to leave and turned around when he touched my wrist.

"Have you thought about what I have offered to you?"

"Huh? Which one?"

"Ten dates, Mel."

I slowly released my hand from his grip as I shook my head.

"I'm sorry but I need a job. I need money, that's why I'm here."

"So you don't wanna date me?"

"I'm really sorry." I tried to smile. "I'll just get you some food."

I didn't wait for his answer and left immediately. I didn't stay long in the kitchen either and I immediately returned to Zoren's suite carrying his food.

When I entered, he was not in the living room and I could hear the sound of the shower so I was sure he was taking a shower. I just put his food on the table and then I waited for him there.

After a while, he came out and I was very surprised to see that he was just covering the lower part of his body with a towel. A few beads of water were still dripping from her hair down her cheek. Something else drips from his chest down to his abs.

"W-what's the- Why are you naked?" I asked, confused after a few minutes of staring at his body.

Shocking! My eyes are very treacherous. I was betrayed and it really made me want Zoren's body.

"I'm really like this here. You should get used to it. More so and my hanging out here will be more frequent."

He came to me and took a slice of pizza and bit it while staring at me. I swallowed. Why so? Why does it suddenly get hot?

I looked away and immediately fanned myself.

"Are you hot?" he asked and came even closer to me. His full attention was on me again.

I looked around and immediately looked for something to slip through so I could get away from him. My god! I need space! It's like the suite is suddenly crowded.

"The air conditioner is strong. Do you want me to—"

"Juice!" I said loudly and raised my index finger. "Right! I'll get you some juice."

I immediately went to the fridge and got some juice. I poured it into the glass but because I didn't seem to be in the right frame of mind, I only took a sip of what I poured instead of giving it to Zoren.

"You looked tense. What's wrong, Melissa?"

"You!" I shouted as I dropped the glass on the counter top.

His eyes immediately widened. "Why? What is wrong with me? I am not doing anything."

"Don't you have any clothes on? Why do you have to face me naked?"

"I am not naked, Mel. I'm wearing a towel."

I closed my eyes because of annoyance. Ghad! I wanna curse him! If he wasn't my boss, I probably would have insulted him a long time ago. Is he dumbfounded or what?

I opened my eyes again when I heard his soft laugh.

"What's funny?" I asked, irritated.

"You know... You are the only maid I know who is braver than the master."

"Because you're not taking me seriously, too. I feel like I'm not a maid here. I don't really have much work. You won't even allow me to wash your underwear! Zoren, I want to earn money and I'm thankful to you because My salary has increased. But the way you treat me now, I realized that I don't deserve my salary."

"I didn't really hire you to be my maid, Melissa. I already told you that I liked you and that's the reason why you're here. I wanna be with you. I want to court you. That is why I am asking you now to give me a chance to date you. Just ten dates, Mel."

"I don't want to. That's not my priority. I don't like you," I said directly.

He was stunned and didn't immediately answer me. I bit my lip and looked away from him. I think I overdid it there. If he really likes me, I must have hurt him.

"S-sorry..."

"Do you really want me to treat you like a real maid? Is that what you really want?"

I swallowed. I looked at him and slowly nodded. That's what I want. Those who do not have special treatment. There is no other relationship than that of master and servant.

He stared at me for a few minutes before finally nodding.

"Fine, then."
