My One And Only Maid

Chapter 3

Ilayda's POV:

Tonight for the first time in a while I dreamt about my parents, especially when we use to go to the farm, that memory always brought a smile on my face. Those were good times. However, it is ok now besides there is no need to recall the past because the more you remember the more it hearts.

I started to get myself ready but then I remember what happened yesterday, what should I do? I did not know because I have never been in such a situation before, I think I will pretend as if nothing happened. Anyway, he was drunk and above that, he is the son of my employers so I cannot mess things up, I can afford more problems in my life.

I headed to the kitchen and Nona was already there.

" Good morning Nona, feeling better today?" I gave her a kiss on the cheek and went towards the fridge to get the food out.

" Good morning dear, yes I feel better, I guess sleeping more did good to me thank you" indeed she looked a bit better today but I know that it won't last long.

" Still Nona this weekend we are going to the doctor to do some check ups, and no but." Every time I wanted to take her to the doctor she use to say no and her health is getting worse each day so I have to force her.

"Fine, I can't say no to you."

By that time I was done with breakfast, it did not take me long and I work fast, that is something I like about myself.

I went to set the breakfast table, everyone was still at his room, and I was very grateful for that I did not want to see anyone especially you know whom...

I was in the kitchen when I heard everyone taking their places at the table, suddenly Mrs. Elfonso called me it was surprising because she always use to call Nona.

" Yes ma'am" she didn't even speak she just gestured me with her hand to start serving, I looked at the elder son but he didn't pay me any attention, maybe he doesn't remember , that's better for me anyway, but why do I feel a little sad? I do not know.

"I thought you won't be coming back, not until the morning" Mrs. Elfonso suddenly spoke addressing her son.

" I don't know, that's what was planned but I drank a little too much and I guess I wasn't thinking clearly" the elder son spoke without even looking at his mother's face.

"Clearly, and I doubt any of your supposed friend would accept you at such an hour." Mr. Elfonso said in a very cold tone.

" I'm full, excuse me" the elder son excused himself and went to his room.

I also was going to the kitchen when Mrs. Elfonso suddenly stopped me.

" Ilayda pack my bags me and Robert we are going to Paris, we will be staying there for two weeks."

" Yes, ma'am" it was very strange , it's been a while since Mr. and Mrs. Elfonso traveled, but she wanted to travel at this moment even if her son just arrived home! That was weird but it was none of my business.

I packed their bags as fast as I could, Mrs. Elfonso told me that their flight is at 8 pm and they had to leave the house at 5pm.

Finally, it was time for their departure we were all at the door wishing them a safe flight, but the elder son did not even bother to show himself.

Miss Elfonso rarely come to the house and tonight she was partying, so I was left with Nona , the elder son and the chauffeur who doesn't come out of his room , alone in this house .

Nona wanted to make the elder son's favorite cake since he did not want to have dinner, so I was helping her in the kitchen.

"What's that good smell beautiful" the elder son came behind Nona holding her and kissing her cheek.

"Ohh... Christian...hhh. I made your chocolate cake I know how much you like it" Nona seemed very she was glowing, it's like if she's talking to her son not the employer's son.

" Well you're the only one who knows me in this house" Christian was smiling bit his tone was rather sad.

Nona was done with the cake so she placed it on the table.

" Oh... How silly of me, I forgot to introduce you Christian dear this lovely girl over here is Ilayda, she's been here for three years now and she's been helping me a lot" I was standing in the corner so when I heard Nona mentioned my name I came a little closer and she gestured me to take a sit.

" Nice to see that Nona is getting along with someone, she use to hate every maid mother would bring to the house" Christian said while looking at me the hole time it was a little intimidating as we kept looking at each other so I looked away first. 

While we were all sitting Nona got up suddenly.

" Excuse me for a minute I forgot the iron on" for some reason something smell fishy but I didn't put any interest.

" Do you know how I came here yesterday?" Christian asked surprising me.

"Aaa..... No, I don't I was sleeping" I couldn't face it, so I just lied; it's an easy way out.

" Hhem... interesting!" His answer was getting me so nervous, God damn it Nona how much does it take to turn off the iron?

"What's interesting?" I tried as best as I can to not look nervous, God knows I tried, but his good , the way he looked at me I was barely able to sit still , in moments like I do one thing and that is to

Run.

As I was preparing myself to do so, he sat his hand right on my leg.

I secretly cursed him in every way possible.

He just ruined my plan to run.

"You are."
