Chapter 38

//Efforts\\

If time had wings then I would definitely say time flew fast.

I didn't notice that we were already staying here for three weeks. The weeks that passed have been stressful and joyful to say at least. And I'm wondering how the hell the paparazzi put up with their job because following and capturing every move of a celebrity is very difficult. Take it from the person who leads her team into following a boy group do their job and errands. However, it has been a refreshing experience. I mean, we featured a lot of celebrities in Hollywood but it doesn't take so much effort to the extent that me, being the team's leader, will follow them as well. It has been an awesome yet tiring experience.

I am tired. But exhausted will be an understatement for Gerald.

Hit!

Remembering what Gerald had done for the past weeks made me a lot more frustrated than I already am. My job is hectic and either does Gerald but I don't know how the hell he managed his time to do all the works. And by all the works I meant all the works.

Hit!

He makes sure that he doesn't look tired in front of me and that he can still do a lot of things. Like, for example, him cooking breakfast, lunch and dinner (as much as possible or whenever we're in his house) and sometimes he serves midnight snacks to everyone. He takes the broom and the rag from his maids and does their job in replacement. Did I mention that his house is enormous? If not then it is. Him doing all the work got me wondering if they still give the employees their pay.

There was one time when I woke up early in the morning, and by early I meant six in the morning or even earlier, and in my horror I found Gerald on his knees scrubbing the floor. He looked like Cinderella only this time he's a boy. He even helped me on my way to the kitchen because he said the floor was slippery.

Hit!

That's not just it.

Whenever I left something or if I want something, he always raise his hand up to volunteer. What's horrible is that he sometimes literally raise his hand in mid air and God it's embarrassing. I wont be surprised if my team is talking behind my back about the real score between us. On contrary to what they think we have, I do not have a relationship with Gerald. Never has been.

Hit!

Sometimes, him offering a hand is a big help to me. I will not deny the fact that I need help from time to time. Apparently, Gerald is more than willing to be one.

Hit!

Just like what happened earlier.

As embarrassing as this may sound, I ran out of pads and he provided them for me. Yup. You're right. I ran out of napkins early in the morning – which is 3 am – and I almost lost my mind. I was too embarrassed to admit that I woke up with my pajamas stinky with my own blood that I cant ask for anyone who can give me some. The maids are fast asleep because for crying out loud it is just three in the morning. I cant just courage up and knock on their door with my face all heated up just so I can have pads. That would be so rude. The problem is that I cant go out of my room and run to the nearest convenience store. Hell. I was even too shy to go out of my room so going out of the house? You couldn't make me.
