The Maid | J.HS x P.JM ✅

XXVIII

Five days passed since the night Evlyn agreed to work for Allen. When the agency contacted her about the change of assignment, she approved it and asked them to immediately terminate her contract with Jimin and Hoseok. She also checked out of her hotel but only after renting a storage locker for her chosen items.

On day five Evlyn woke up tired, she had not been able to sleep since arriving at her new job. The lack of sleep was making her very irritable and cranky; she was barely able to complete whatever task she was supposed to do. Her mind and body were growing more exhausted every day, but they didn't stop her from formulating a plan to put an end to the madness.

She spent a brief portion of the morning, dusting and doing light spot cleaning. Since there was very little work to do, she was trying to find anything to keep her away from Allen and his roaming eyes. After only two and half hours of that she was forced to seek him out for another assignment, expecting his weird flirtatious way of communicating with her, instead she was surprised to receive an actual task from him. The freedom from her new boss didn't last long enough, only one hour later he was pestering her for fresh coffee.

"Evlyn!" Allen shouted for her. Her head jerked up, making her hands shake spilling some of the coffee she was pouring

"Shit" she hissed when the hot beverage made contact with her skin. She finished pouring the cup and place it on silver tray that already had sugar, creamer and a spoon on "I'm coming" she called back

The maid appeared in front of him not even a whole minute later, placing the try on the desk near his bed. He was relaxing on top of the freshly made bed with his legs crossed, one hand perched behind his head while the other rested on his stomach. His eyes followed her from entry until she was only inches away from him, his gaze always made her feel uncomfortable.

She transferred the coffee and its fixing to the table, prepared to leave. She felt his touch, gripping her arm and goosebumps decorated her skin. The only thing worse than his eyes on her was his hands, he wasn't harming her, but she found him completely repulsive so everything he did made her want to gag.

"Thank you" he offered a smiled to which she gave a slight nod

"If that's all" she said, pulling her arm from his hand and leaving the room

"Not so fast," he said stopping her "I'm having a few people over for dinner tonight, so you need to prepare a meal for eight"

"Okay"

Allen licked his lips before sending her away. Evlyn stopped at her room before taking the tray back to the kitchen where she found her glasses sitting on the dresser. She looked around to see if anyone was around, but she was alone, grateful to have them back because she thought they had been lost or damaged, but she wondered who found them. She and Allen were the only two people in the house for the last three days, the butler that she saw when she came on the first night was sent away but maybe he was still in the house without her knowing.

Evlyn quietly closed her door and examined the glasses, one of the arms was loose but that was it and it wasn't the one with the camera so that relieved her a little bit. She pulled her phone from a drawer she kept locked, she sneakily found the Wi-Fi name and password while cleaning (aka snooping) yesterday so she could log in to check the footage hoping it caught everything from the first night she came to the house. Her heart pounded in her chest as her fingers deftly moved on the screen.

She cheered silently as the footage was there, making sure the volume was low. She pressed play and watched as everything from her getting out of the Lyft to him smacking her played in decent quality but even better was the audio, it was crystal clear. She emailed the video to both of her email addresses to have backup copies then exited the app on her phone. Evlyn put both her phone and the glasses in the drawer and left her room.

The maid's mood wasn't as sour now that she had her evidence, but she couldn't celebrate just yet, she needed to get more of it. Checking the time on the alarm clock on the white nightstand she decided to get started on the meal since she has to make four times as much.

"Still nothing?" Taehyung asked Jimin over the phone

"No" he sighed, it's been four days since he last saw and spoke to Evlyn. He and Hoseok have tried calling but she disconnected the number they had for her

"Did you try contacting the agency to see if they can help?"

"We did and they won't. All they told us is that she accepted another offer, and they can't disclose who it is. She's not technically a missing person so the police are useless too" he sounded so sad, and it hurt Taehyung to know one of his best friends was suffering so much

Taehyung was debating if he should tell Jimin and Hoseok about the invite to Allen's house, he didn't want to get their hopes up just in case she wasn't there, but he had a strong feeling she was. Allen invited him and Jungkook over in the name of being a fan of both men but Taehyung knee that wasn't the case; especially when he stressed for them to not tell Jimin and Hoseok-a huge red flag.

"Chim, I-I need to tell you something"

"What is it?"

"Umm Allen Kleaver invited me and Jungkook over to his house for dinner tonight and I have a hunch Evlyn might be there"

"WHAT! And you're just now telling me! What the hell Tae?" Jimin screamed into the phone

"Jimin, calm down I-"

"Calm down? How the fuck am I supposed to calm down when my girlfriend is missing and you have key fucking information about the prime suspect" he huffed, looking at the phone in disbelief.

"I know! I know, okay? I didn't tell you because I didn't want either of you to get your hopes up just in case, I'm wrong. I want to find her too damnit, I'm trying to help" he remained calm while speaking for the most part. He understood Jimin was angry, but he needed to be levelheaded in order to think straight

"I... I know you are and I'm sorry for screaming but this information is crucial, Hoseok hired a private investigator"

"He did?"

"Yeah, he didn't want you guys to know just yet, but he hasn't been able to come across anything just yet so I'm desperate for any kind of updates on my baby girl" Jimin fought to hold back tears, he had a photoshoot in a few hours and didn't want the MUA complaining about his eyes being puffy and red

"I get it man, I hope I'm right and that she is there tonight but don't tell Hobi until I can confirm it. Can you keep this between us until then?"

"Yeah, yeah I'll sit on it for now" he sighed again and shook his head "Thank you Taehyung"

"Of course, she's one of us and we take care of our own. We'll find her and bring her back home to you both"

"You're right. Listen I have a photoshoot soon then I'm meeting Hobi at his office, I'll keep my phone close so please text me the minute you know anything"

"Absolutely"

"Thanks, bye"

"Bye"
