I gasped at the sight in front of me. "Is this my bedroom, Mr. Roland".
"Yes. You will be living in the Royal palace onwards". He replied and excused himself.
"Oh my God, I love this place". I squealed as I took off my shoes. It has spacious rooms and branded furniture with the silvery walls. I found it hard to believe that I will be living here henceforth. I entered my bedroom and fell on the bed immediately.
After his wife left, Felix told me to leave immediately and I did. I didn't wait a second. I don't know whether he is angry but this isn't my fault. I hope I didn't make any mistakes or did I? I shouldn't have slept with him. I shouldn't have slept with a married man. His wife will be hurt. I hope she will let it go easily.
I went into the bathroom and was shocked at how spacious it was. An ordinary bathroom! I've lived a life of poverty my whole life and have never seen a bathroom this big.
After struggling with the bathroom, I came out and dried myself up. I opened the wardrobe to see different kinds of clothes and nightwear. I pulled one pajama out and wore it. I checked myself out in the mirror "I look childish". I said smiling. I dropped my hands from my waist when I remembered what happened earlier.
He has it all planned. Taking advantage of my situation and this. My dream is to attend college, finish it and get a good job. I don't want to get entangled with a married woman. After leaving his room, Mr Roland directed me to this place as my room. He gave me a new phone telling me that the Prince asked to give it to me. I was reluctant to accept it. I was shocked to realize that I will be living in the palace, on the same roof with Prince Felix. How was I to handle it? I hope it ends in the bedroom. But how will it end when we live under the same roof? I will try my best to make it end. I hope time flies fast and I will leave this situation. I won't have to bother myself on this.
My new phone beeped indicating a message. Message? This is a new phone. Prince Felix has helped me insert a new Sim but I haven't distributed my number. I have no friends to give to. I picked it up and unlocked it.
"I've made the necessary p*****t to the school. They will contact you now. Fill in your details''. I heaved a sigh and read it again. After finishing my education, I will leave here and find a job elsewhere.
Two messages beeped in again. I opened the first one "You will start your work as my P.A tomorrow. Mr Roland will bring you along". I opened the second message and it was from the school. I quickly filled in my details and did the necessary things.
I dropped my phone and laid down on the bed. I dragged the duvet close to my body. I've never felt this warmth while sleeping. I think this is my first step out of poverty. I have swore to lose my virginity to my husband but if this, my education is the first step out of poverty then I hope I am not making any mistake.
My eyes snap open at 7:00 am sharp as usual. I don't have to look at the clock to know it's seven. I've been waking up like this long enough to trust my body's internal clock. I pull the comforter off me, slip out of bed and begin my daily routine by making my bed, pillows perfectly aligned, sheets pulled tight and the comforter folded just right. I nodded when I saw the finished outcome. I hurried to the bathroom to do the necessary. Minutes later, I came out prepared to set up myself. I headed to the wardrobe and picked out a short white gown and a set of blue heels.
Mm… I look good. I giggled and watched myself in the mirror. Is it too much? Should I look more professional? Suddenly, a sharp pain niggled at me, right there below my abdomen. I groaned and held onto the table for support. Oh God, please don't tell me it's the monthly visitor. I sighed and bent my head for a while.
This is my first day at work. I have to pull a professional look. I picked up my bag and dropped my phone in it. I haven't been given admission yet but I hope I will be given soon.
I took in a deep breath and tried swallowing the pains. And feebly, I opened the door and left the room.
"Hope you slept well ma'am" Mr. Roland greeted. "Yes, thank you". I replied and walked over to the car.
"Roland, where are you going"? I looked over and saw a young brunette attractive lady, Prince Felix's wife. I avoided her glance and entered the car. I felt embarrassed. I can't look her right in the eye after being caught. Roland rushed over to her and they talked about some things. Seems like they were arguing, she stomped off angrily and went inside. Roland rushed over and started the car driving out of the palace down the street.
I was forced to ask what they were discussing but I restricted myself. Asking him would make me look like a gossiper.
We arrived at the company and I was taken aback at how large and big it was. We parked the car at a separate garage. Prince Felix may decide to have a different garage of his own. Roland took me through a different entry and we took a different elevator. I don't know why it's different from the general ones. Is that how all companies are, especially in America? In minutes, I found myself in front of a big glass door "Personal Assistant Mary" was inscribed on top of the door.
"Your key ma'am". He said handing the key over to me. "And that office opposite yours is Prince Felix. He will call you in when he is less busy". I nodded and he excused himself.
I opened the door and stepped into my gigantic office. I gasped in amazement "Money is amazing" I exclaimed and rushed over to open the other door, its a bathroom. A bathroom in an office. I scoffed and settled in the office. There were so many files on the table. I glanced through it and realized I have so much work to do. I logged in to the computer and prepared to start when my phone beeped.
I opened the notification and realized I have been given admission and my school fees have been paid. Oh My God… I exclaimed and checked out my schedule. I have an online class by 5:00. Then, I have to be quick. I dropped my phone excitedly and got to work.
Minutes later, my telephone rang out and I picked it up without averting my gaze from the screen. "Yes, Miss Mary on the line" I said professionally. "I want you in my office, now". His husky voice boomed, sending shivers down my spine. He ended the call, just like that. I stood up, nervousness set through me. I didn't see him after yesterday's ordeal.
Few inches to it, the door whirls open before me. It's automatic then why isn't mine automatic. I furrowed my brow in confusion before stepping in. I felt cold instantly and goose bumps covered my whole body. Am I the one cold or the office? I wondered.
Before me sat Prince Felix. He raised his head up and looked at me stealthily. I gulped down nervously and looked down at my feet. "Good morning Your Highness" I greeted. Remembering what happened yesterday gave me cold feet. If I had known I would be this ashamed, would I have accepted? But he gave me what I wanted. I have been granted admission all thanks to him and am his PA even without my certificate. Did I stoop so low?
He sighed in frustration "I told you the title isn't necessary". He said. With the way he behaved yesterday, there was fury in his eyes while telling me to go out but I think he is much better now. "Please raise your head up and look at me". I gulped down nothing and raised my head up. Our eyes met and I got lost in his blue eyes for some seconds before I regained my composure. He gave me a flirtatious smile "I have a meeting in 50 minutes time. Please prepare for it because we are both going there". I nodded.
"Is that all sir?"
"Yes". He hummed and I rushed out of his office.
I sat down and calmed my nerves down. I have to be bold. Mary, be bold!
