After closing the door behind her, she goes straight to her car that parked at the side of the road a few meters away from the house. All she wanted to do is to get away from this place as soon as possible. She winces in pain when she sits down at the driver's seat. This is not a good idea she thought, but she has no other choice. She has to leave the place. She doesn't want him to see her that she is still there. After she settled in her seat, she turned on the car engine and drives to the main road headed back to the city of Santa Catarina. She will be there for more than an hour. Her derrière really hurts that every bump of the car she winces in pain. But she needs to get home and rest and she needs to check her booty, she's one hundred percent sure that it's swollen by now or worst, it's bruised.

This event of the day? Oh, she never expected this to happen. If only she followed her instinct to leave the house right after she finished everything this would have had never happened. The man wouldn't have seen her in her awkward position on the floor. If the man wasn't looking, she would have cried out loud. The man was angry at her stupidity. When he asked her what the hell she was doing behind that door. She couldn't answer him right away she was tongue-tied. She wanted to protest when he suddenly picked her up and brought her to the couch where she was resting before the doorbell rings.

She thought luckily that she had showered and changed her maid uniform into a new set of clean clothes after she finished her work. If not she will get multiple embarrassment awards in just a few minutes that afternoon.

She let out a deep long breath. Then focus on the road.
She decided not to come to the office tonight. She can call Olga, the secretary and also her friend in Shine Bright Housekeeping when she reaches home. She couldn't bear any more minutes on the road with her aching butt.

Poor booty of her that suffers in that terrible fall. She smiles at her fate today though feeling embarrassed at the same time. Well, she doesn't care anymore. She will never see him again. She will be going back to Switzerland where she works after tomorrow. That's why when her Aunt was so devastated when the housekeeper Aurora couldn't make to come to do the job for Mr. Carvalho she volunteered. She doesn't have anything to do, and three days isn't long works. She used to clean her own home way back to Switzerland so cleaning other's house isn't new to her. It's not a hard task to do.

"But Briar, you came for vacation and not to do the job that you aren't familiar with." Protest her Aunt.

"My dear Aunt, I was born and raised in the home without any helper, and way back to my place, I did all the cleaning and all, all by myself. So cleaning the house of that Mr. Carvalho isn't a hard job. Trust me, I assure you, I can do what all your housekeeper can do." She replied.

"That's a big house, it's a two level house Briar. You'll be exhausted." He Aunt discouraged her.

"Auntie, my job is a hard work. It is required more strength, so cleaning is not that heavy job for me." She said trying her best to convince her Aunt.

"Ugh! If only Aurora didn't get sick. Even all the girls are fully booked until next week. And Mr. Carvalho needed his vacation house this weekend." Her Aunt said sadly.

"We don't have any choice right now Auntie, whether you lost your good payor client or you send me for the job." With finality in her voice, she said staring at her Aunt. " I'll pack my things for three days, it is best for me to stay there while cleaning so I could finish it on time." Convincing her Aunt for the last time.

Her Aunt left no option to say no to her convincing power, so she sends her to cover for Aurora's job at the vacation house of the billionaire Mr. Carvalho.

For three days, she managed to clean the two-story house with ease. She doesn't want that the owner will get disappointed with her performance. She doesn't want to give her Aunt a bad reputation just because she didn't do her job properly. 

She doesn't know what had gotten her mind when Mr. Carvalho asked her name, she gave him Aurora's name. The housekeeper supposedly the one cleaning the house. But it's not far from her name actually. Her name was named after Princess Aurora who was also known as Briar Rose of Sleeping Beauty, so that's okay, she explained to herself smiling. 

While driving she's humming one her favorite Christian song. She decided to go home first, to her grandparent's house a few blocks from Shine Bright Housekeeping. She wants to check her aching butt. She will call her Aunt as soon as she reaches the house. 

Letting go of every single dream
I lay each one down at Your feet 
Every moment of my wandering
Never changes what You see

I've tried to win this war I confess
My hands are weary I need Your rest
Mighty Warrior, King of the fight
No matter what I face, You're by my side

When You don't move the mountains I'm needing You to move
When You don't part the waters I wish I could walk through
When You don't give the answers as I cry out to You
I will trust, I will trust, I will trust in You!

Truth is, You know what tomorrow brings 
There's not a day ahead You have not seen
So, in all things be my life and breath
I want what You want Lord and nothing less

When You don't move the mountains I'm needing You to move
When You don't part the waters I wish I could walk through
When You don't give the answers as I cry out to You
I will trust, I will trust, I will trust in You!

You are my strength and comfort
You are my steady hand
You are my firm foundation; the rock on which I stand

Your ways are always higher
Your plans are always good
There's not a place where I'll go, You've not already stood

When You don't move the mountains I'm needing You to move
When You don't part the waters I wish I could walk through
When You don't give the answers as I cry out to You
I will trust, I will trust, I will trust in You!

I will trust in You!
I will trust in You!
I will trust in You!
