Angelina’s point of view:

                                          

 

 

I finished the task he gave me exactly 7:20pm, I used the remaining time to clean the kitchen and also clean up. Yes, I smell like the soup so I feel disgusted with the smell that I went to shower, when I went back to the kitchen, I assume the guests are already because I am hearing voices from the living room. I sneaked out of the kitchen to peak on the guest; I know I am not permitted to go to the sitting room so I stood at the door that link the kitchen to the living room. I peaked on them, Mr. Martins and a ginger haired sat on the three sitter leather couch while a back haired sat on the one sitter chair.  They all look expensive seriously, these people are freaking rich.

 

 

The ginger haired guy was the one talking and the remaining boys were just laughing. The blacked haired guy and Mr. Martins are the ones laughing. Mr. Martins laughed oh my god, he is laughing I can believe this. He looks more laughing; his white full set teeth are on display, seeing him laugh made me smile. Angelina, he abused you remember, that thought made me sigh. I turned to leave but unfortunately my hand mistakenly and unknowingly banged the vase and that was hurt so I screamed out.

 

I looked at them back and now their attentions are now on me. I looked over to Mr. Martins to see an angry face, what? He was laughing seconds ago, how can he quickly change his face from happy face to an angry face in seconds?

 

“I am sorry, I didn’t mean to disturb you” I apologized

 

“Baby girl it is okay. I know you from somewhere” the ginger haired guy said as he made his way towards me, he know me from some here. That is so confusing.

 

As soon as he made his way to me, he grabbed my hand and pulled me with him until we got to the living room, shit this is so embarrassing.

 

“Dave, do you remember this beautiful specie at the club?” he said but Dave glared at him perhaps giving him warning. The club “Come on, the girl we helped to the hospital when she had a panic attack” he said, but still Mr. Martins glared at him maybe not interested in the topic. The club? Panic attack? Were they the ones they helped me to the hospital?  I widened my eyebrows in surprise seriously? Oh my god

 

“What do you mean by that sir” I asked in a low tone.

 

“We helped you to the hospital, your brother asked for our help and we rendered it, didn’t he tell you?” he asked looking at Mr. Martins.

 

“You know now, bye. Go and set the table” Mr. Dave said harshly. That was an order so I took my leave.

 

“That was rude Dave, you know I was talking to her” the ginger haired boy said

 

“Then follow her” he said dismissingly.

 

“Fine” I heard footsteps behind me. That means he is following me.  I wish I can appreciate him and Mr. Martins but how can I appreciate the When Mr. Martins is giving me attitude? I wish to dislike him but my heart is not agreeing. Fuck it.

 

 

I rushed to the kitchen not wanting him to meet up with me. When I reached the kitchen, I gathered three for them and almost went out the kitchen when he entered. I stopped and look him. He is handsome but not as Mr. Martins. He smiled down at me and said:

 

“My name is Chris and I know your name is Angelina since last night and Dave has told me about you” he said. What did Mr. Martins say about me to him? I wonder

 

“Don’t worry about what he said about you, just that you are his new maid, well forget about his attitude. You are beautiful you know” he said, seriously what is my beauty has to do with the matter on ground.

 

“You look a little scared, I don’t bite please” he said

 

“Hmm no I just want to set the table” I said as I walk past him still he followed me, he helped me in setting the table, serving the table while we chatted. I shouldn’t lie, I was a little scared at first but while chatting and doing things together, I got free with him.

 

 

“Done and dusted” he said and I smiled. “You know Dave is not that harsh, if you behave well and being loyal to him, you guys will get along well” he assured me and I nodded. I hope so.

 

He called his friends to the dinning, and immediately I went to the kitchen.  I sat on the chair and paced my head on the kitchen island. Today is one hell of hectic day, I almost slept but the footsteps are heard brought me back to reality. I raised my head up to see the person, the blacked haired guy walked in; it seems he is looking for something, when he saw me he smiled a little.

 

“Hi, you are the new maid here I guess. Hmm my name is Harris; I need a fork, please” he said, I went to the dish hanger and took a fork there to give him.

 

“You didn’t put any fork there, so you should bring three forks to the table” he said and with that he left.

 

I took tray, and I placed three forks and I went to the dining table.

 

They are eating, Mr. Martins focused on his face so it is my chance to place the forks without getting insulted. After placing the fork, I rushed out of the place as fast as I can.

 

When I got to the kitchen, I relaxed myself; this is so weird I swear. I sat on the chair I sat before. My eyes caught a shadow, immediately the person came closer, I gasped, It is scary. It is Mr. Martins, he glared at me. Seeing him, I shut my mouth immediately and I stood up from the chair.

 

“What were you discussing with Chris” he asked. Why should he know what I was discussing with him?

 

“Nothing sir, he was just helping me to set the table” I replied him.

 

“Really?” he asked looking at me suspiciously
