Hi guys! I made some light edits to my last few chapters. I hope you are enjoying the story so far:)

Walking into the kitchen I begin washing my coffee cup from this morning, placing it on the drying rack I turn around to see the house keeper planing groceries on the large island, "here let me give you a hand" I offer her a small smile.

"Oh goodness - you startled me, I wasn't expecting Mr Anderson to have guests". She sticks out her hand for me to shake. "I'm Susie"
Mr.Anderson? So formal compared to Hades. I almost forgot that he does have a birth name. Probably because I don't even know what it is.

"Anna, nice to meet you" I take her hand in mine, I notice the slight wrinkle in her skin as we let go,  "I'm sorry I startled you" i start pulling the groceries out of the bags and placing them in groups of fridge, freezer and pantry.

"Oh don't be" she shrugs as she makes her way to the fridge. "I was just surprised to see you" I give a slight smile before pulling more groceries out "how long have you and Mr.Anderson been seeing each other? - if you don't mind me asking" I stare at her wide eyed. "Oh uh" I don't even know what to say, why would she think we're dating? "We aren't seeing each other, I just started working at the club" I stop myself from rambling. I can see the wheels spinning in her head as she stops what she's doing and turns to me. "Forgive me for overstepping" "oh no please, it's okay" I reassured her. "I just had a rough night last nice so Hades offered to let me stay here until I could call my friend this morning" I don't know why I'm telling my life story to this woman, but there's something about her that makes it easy to talk. But she stands in front of me in pure shock as I finish my story. "Are you okay Susie"?

"I- yes, uhm" clearing her throat "I'm sorry it's just you must be pretty important to him" my eyes shoot to hers at her last sentence. "I barely know him, we just met three days ago" and then it hits me, I know nothing about him, including his name but I let him eat me out on his bathroom counter this morning. My thoughts are interrupted by Susie "forgive me for prying, it's just that in the 6 years I've worked for him, he's never had a guest" "never"? I borderline shout. "At first I thought it was because of his parents, they always enjoyed hosting parties and his father handled most of his business at his home office" she pauses as if she's trying to carefully choose her words. "But then after awhile I had my suspicions that there was more to it". Without thinking I blurt out one of the many questions running through my head. "Did you know his parents"? "Oh yes, I've been with the family close to 30 years now" "I came to work here once he got on his feet. He needed me more than his parents did". Before I can respond she cuts in "it was very nice meeting you Anna, but I must get going. I really do hope to see you again" she places the last thing in the fridge before Turing out of the kitchen.

My thoughts are running fast thinking about my interaction with Susie. Those little bits of him she gave away leaves me wanting more. I want to understand more of him, but with who he is I don't know if that is possible. And after what happened this morning I really don't know if I should. I wouldn't call it a mistake, but I can't let that happen again. He's my boss for Christ sakes, also the biggest womanizer from what I've heard. But I'm the first guest he's ever had? No wonder he said she wouldn't mind the extra work. I pull myself out my thoughts and decided it's time to get ready, padding back into my room.

I rummage through my suit case. I pull out a basic lace white matching set, jean skirt that has small rips up the side and a white tank top. Throwing on some light makeup and straightening my hair I was ready to go. I have about 30 minutes until the driver will be here, so I re pack my suit case and leave it by the door, I'll have to come get it tomorrow and just barrow some of Macy's clothes to sleep in. I shoot her a quick text
Anna: Hey Mace, I'll be in around 2am can you have max leave some sleeping shorts and shirt on the bed for me? I don't want to wake him when I get in"
