MISS Caroline and her family left the mansion at the end of the week, and I relaxed a little since there wouldn’t be a possibility of me catching Nica and Miss Caroline’s husband fornicating in the bushes again. I am already having a hard time getting that scene off my mind. I don’t know what would happen if I saw it again.
I used to tell Mindy not to treat Nica so harshly, but now that I have discovered what she has been doing, I am not that sympathetic to her anymore. I began to empathize with Miss Caroline, though, and hope that she realizes what a jerk her husband is.
I resumed working in the kitchen until the head maid came and asked to talk to Juanita and me. Apparently, one of the maids who is assigned to cleaning the mansion went on maternity leave. She asked Juanita if she could borrow me to do some cleaning if it’s okay. Juanita said that she didn’t mind if it was okay with me.
I replied with “Yeah, of course, it’s okay.” Sometimes, cleaning is less tedious than kitchen work. When we’re in the kitchen, we’re continuously moving. I don’t mind the work either way, but cleaning duty would be lighter work compared to kitchen duty.
Juanita returned to work while the head maid talked me through my assignment. I was shocked when I learned that one of the rooms I have to clean is the young master’s room. She must have noticed my reluctance, so she said, “Don’t worry. The young master is usually not in his room at this time. He leaves the house early and usually comes home late at night. I’m not even sure if he even gets some sleep anymore.”
I was relieved at what the head maid said. At least I won’t have to worry about running into the young master, and I can clean his room comfortably.
The head maid was still briefing me when Nica suddenly emerged and asked to speak to the head maid. She looked at Nica and said, “Yeah, what is it?”
Nica sniggered as she looked at me before looking at the head maid. In the sweetest voice, she said, “I heard that Liza went on maternity leave already. I was wondering if I could take over cleaning Zac’s bedroom?”
The head maid raised her brows before saying, “No need. I have assigned Sarah to take over that.”
Nica frowned as she heard this. She must have known that it’s useless to insist, so she just said “Okay,” and left. Once she was gone, the head maid resumed her briefing.
I resumed my work by cleaning the areas I was assigned. I saved the young master’s room for last and slowly made my way inside. Thinking that he was not in his room, I started tidying things up by making his bed.
I was told that bed sheets are changed every other day, and the young master’s sheets just got changed yesterday, so I didn’t have to change them today. Afterward, I tidied up his side table and ran a rug through every surface.
When I was done with the room, I headed to the bathroom. The door was closed, and when I opened it, I froze as I saw the young master buck naked, seeming to have just come out of the shower. He had a towel in his hand and was drying himself off. I glanced at his crotch and had a pretty good view of what he was packing.
I immediately turned around and left his room without saying anything. I quickly made my way downstairs and kept saying, “Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God!”
I hid in a corner as I tried to catch my breath. I’d never seen a naked man before, and I didn’t think it would be that big and scary! I wonder if every man is that big or if the young master was just blessed.
After a few minutes, I returned to the kitchen, told Juanita that I was finished cleaning, and asked if she needed anything.
I was peeling some potatoes when the head maid arrived and said, “Sarah? I know you’re done cleaning, but the young master is asking for you. Can you head over to his room now?
I really didn’t want to do that, but I knew I didn’t have a choice if I wanted to keep my job. I just nodded lightly and put down the peeler and the potato I was holding. I washed my hands and walked slowly towards the young master’s room. I felt like I was walking on thin eyes with how slow I was walking.
When I arrived at his bedroom door, I hesitated before knocking. It was a soft knock, and I was hoping that the young master was not in his room, but when I heard him say “Come in” from the inside, I turned the knob and got inside his room.
I saw the young master sitting on the couch in his room and holding a guitar. He’s not wearing a shirt as he strummed the guitar. Suddenly, memories of what I saw earlier came back, and I started sweating despite the cold air in the room.
He looked up, which startled me, and said, “Aren’t you going to clean the bathroom?”
I just nodded as he resumed strumming his guitar. I went inside his bathroom and started cleaning. It’s not very dirty, so it didn’t take too long for me to finish. When I was done, I got out of the bathroom and asked, “I-I’m done cleaning the bathroom, sir. Do you need anything else?”
The young master looked up and stared at me. He looked me up and down and said, “Take off your clothes?”
I was shocked and couldn’t answer right away. I covered my clothed body with my hands and said, “I-I’m not taking off my clothes, sir!”
He sniggered and said, “Why not? You saw me naked. It’s just fair that I saw you naked too.”
“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it, sir. I didn’t think you were in your room. I was just doing my job.” I reasoned out since there was no way that I was taking my clothes off.
He put his guitar down and started walking towards me. I inadvertently walked backward until I hit the door. Before I got the chance to open it, the young master put his hand and kept it closed.
He put his hands on both sides of me, which essentially trapped me under him. I closed my eyes and waited for what he was going to do next. My heart is beating so fast that it feels like it’s going to jump out of my chest.
I felt his breath on my ear as he whispered, “You must be a virgin.”
I didn’t say anything and waited until I couldn't feel his presence in front of me anymore. When I looked up, he was back on his couch strumming his guitar.
I turned around and immediately got out of his room as my heart kept beating fast. I leaned on his door and massaged my chest to calm my heart before heading back to the kitchen.
