20:25 (Tuesday)

"...that's a promise, and I never break a promise."

Emma took a second and then responded. "Are... you and Clay dating?" She asked bluntly

"Uh- no! I'm just the housekeeper." I simply stated, a bit flustered by the random assumption

She gave it some thought and opened her mouth to speak again.

"Okay then, give me your number and we can talk about this later. I could really use your help." She said giving me her phone to type my number into.

After that, I gave her phone back.

"Thank you. Whatever you do, don't tell Clay about you helping me." She said

That makes sense. He probably wouldn't like it if he found out I was helping her. But it's for a good reason...right?

I nodded in agreement. We both said our goodbyes and she left. I closed the front door and stood there for a while.

I wonder what could have happened between them to make Clay so upset to even see her... he doesn't seem like the type to hold grudges. Either way, I want to see him happy. I'll do everything I can to make that happen.

I walked to the kitchen to continue with my cleaning.

Clay's POV

"Yes, Mister Fulldrive."

She bowed and left.

I knew I messed up the second i yelled. It hurt me even more to hear her not call me 'Clay.'

I messed up, I messed up, I messed up

I didn't move. I stayed silent. I could tell George was also stunned at the scene. He didn't say anything either.

What the hell is wrong with me...

I started to get out of my chair until I felt George grab my arm.

"Don't." He said

"What?" I asked, confused

"Emma is still downstairs. Wait until she's gone." He explained

I really didn't want to talk to her. I don't ever want to see her again. So I decided to listen to George and stay in the bedroom until she left.

It took a while but we finally heard the front door close again. When we heard it, we both jumped up and bolted out the door. We almost tripped a couple times but ignored it and kept going.

We rushed down the stairs and saw Y/n walking towards the kitchen.

"Y/N!" I yelled, getting her attention

Y/n's POV

"Y/N!"

I turned around and saw Clay and George making their way towards me.

Clay made his way to me and was standing in front of me.

"Hey, Im-" I cut him off

"I sincerely apologize for the actions that took place. I take full responsibility for the situation. I should have respected your decision and not questioned you any further. I promise that I will improve so that these events wont recur."I said while giving a bow

I got up from my bow and looked up. I felt him immediately hug me. He had me in his arms and rested his head on the crook of my neck. I was too shocked to even speak let alone move to hug him back.
