Billionaire Maid

As there was nothing for me to do, I walked to my room to have my afternoon nap but not before meeting Angela in the corridor.

"Dolores, I need to see you. Hope you aren't busy?" Angela said, as she walked to me. She wasn't exactly asking, she was ordering me and the message was quite clear.

"I'm not busy, Mam. What can I do for you?" I said lowly.

"Very well then, let's go to the study. Shall we? "She said already leading the way.

As we entered the study, in the midst of all the uncomfortable silence she said,

"You can say no if you want, you know," her eyes sparkling in delight. She knows that I can't say no to her but she is still testing me and my patience.

Yeah right! As if you will let me walk away. My subconscious said.
I just stared at her not knowing what to say.

She sat down on the leather seat and patted the empty space beside her for me to sit.

"Thank you, I'll just stand" I said politely. She looked at me from head to toe before she started.

"You know why I want to see you, right? Let's not beat around the bush "She said looking me squarely in the eyes.

I just stood there tight-lipped.

"Is there anything going on between you and my son?" She asked, smiling slyly like she already knows the answer.

Yeah, we're sleeping together! Is what I say in my mind.

"...No" I said not looking at her but admiring an artwork on the wall. I can't tell her or else I will be in a big trouble which can even cost me my job.

"Oh that's very good because if you were that would be a big problem for us, wouldn't it?" She said, in a sing-song voice. Her expressions told me that she doesn't believe a word that I said.

"Answer me. I don't think I'm talking to the walls." Her voice suddenly raising an octave.

Is she bipolar or something?

"Yes it would be." I whispered. Her sudden mood changes were scary and I was freaking scared.

"And do you know why?" She asked again.

I shook my head this time and waited for her to tell me.

"It's because Rafael is engaged. He is already with someone else. I'm sure you wouldn't want someone to do that to you" She paused for a while and looked at me from head to toe.

My breathing quickened as her stare pierces into my soul, making me feel worthless.

"Also do you think that you and Rafael fit? Look at you and then" She paused, waving her hand at me. "Look at him. Don't you think he deserves better." She said her words were like cold water pouring on my body.

How can she say this? Can she be anymore rude? I am not a piece of shit, I am a human with as much feelings as she has or maybe more after all she is just a cold-hearted bi.tch.

"Whatever Rafael wants is his business. It's for him to decide. I'm not making him do anything he doesn't want to. He is a person of his own. I don't think anyone can make him do anything he doesn't want to." I said my voice heavy with sorrow. She is just doing this to break me in front of her.

"That's where you're wrong you foolish girl, I am his mother, I gave birth to him, not you. Any and everything he does is my business once again it's because I'm his mother." Her voice rising with every word she said. Her face was red by now by all the yelling and anger she just showed me.
