At Your Service, Master

Chapter Four

Nicholas went to his meeting after finishing his sweetened tea.  Mikaela didn't follow him since she was a total mess. Her hair was beginning to dry into a frizz, there were knots and tangles everywhere. "Nicholas Hawthorne" Mikaela said staring at the empty tea cup in front of her.

Nicholas exited the meeting room with a herd of older-looking businessmen leaving after him, discussing with each other some business propositions. Some other man who looked younger than the rest with dark chestnut brown hair was talking with Nicholas. He had round glasses but an innocent charm as he tried to defend his suggestion while Nicholas didn't look interested at all.

"Um, Simon why don't we discuss this some other time?" Nicholas suggested trying to get away from the talkative boy as he walked toward Mikaela.

"But, Nicholas I assure you, they are not a good investment" He insisted then stopped when he noticed Mikaela's existence. "And who is this?" Simon growled looking down at her with distaste.

Mikaela rolled her eyes. Okay sure she was a total mess right now but that didn't give anyone the right to look down on her like a pile of manure on the persian carpet. "Mikaela Clover, nice to meet you" she said forcing a smile.

"She's the new maid the old man forced on me" Nicholas shrugged. "Well, I'll see you again tomorrow Simon" Nicholas said in a somewhat authorative tone as if he was telling the guy to buzz off.  "Me and Jenn-"

"MIKAELA" she intercepted.

"WHATEVER, is going to attend some important matters" Nicholas continued.

Simon blinked. "Ah, of course. I'm sorry I delayed you"

"You should be, short stuff" Mikaela said bluntly seeing that he was practically her height which was roughly a 5"3. "Master wouldn't want to miss his appointment with the CEO's daughter"

Nicholas shot her a glare and she just flashed a playful grin.

GOT THAT RIGHT, RICH BOY.

Don't think I didn't take a little peek in your schedule for the day!

Simon looked at Nicholas with sheer disappointment. "I see...You have a date at a time like this" Simon said with a hint of distaste. "Well I'll let you and Ms. Clover go, good day sir" he nodded politely before leaving.

Nicholas shoved his briefcase in her arms. "Take that to the car" he growled stuffing his hands in his pockets and leaving towards the elevator.

Mikaela nodded happily. "Of course, master~" she sang, following closely behind him.

-------------------------------------------

Mikaela entered the fancy hotel known as The Lilac Hotel. Nicholas entered the hotel over an hour ago and told her to wait in the car. Mildred had called thrice saying that Nathaniel wanted the little brat back home before dinner.

Mikaela growled, passing fancy dressed women who giggled at the sight of her.

How much longer would this date last?

She went in the elevator and pressed the top penthouse button above all the other buttons. It took a few minutes to reach the to floor but it was worth it. Unlike the other floors that the doors opened up to, when the door opened to the penthouse floor a cool breeze that carried the scent of honeydew entered the elevator. Chandeliers hung on the ceiling all the way down the corridor. The walls were lined with past owners of the Lilac Hotel. Most of them had the family moustache.

She stopped at the white double doors with gold lining and knocked. "Master Nicholas?" she called. She was about to knock again but she heard a thump and froze. "Nicholas?" she called again but a bit softer. She pressed her ear against the cold wood of the door and could hear moans and soft whispers.

Mikaela frowned, what on Earth was that boy doing that was taking so damn long? Mikaela scratched her chin, she didn't want to interrupt his date by bursting through the doors. That might seem rude to whoever lady he was with so she took out her phone. "Hmmm, maybe I could just call him..." she smiled dialling his number.

------------------------------

Under the white silk covers Nicholas's body was practically stuck to a blonde's body like velcro. That blonde just happened to be the daughter of the CEO who was thinking about making partnership with Nathaniel's company.

They froze when they hear his phone ring on the nightstand. "Awwwww don't tell me you're going already..." she whined, bting onto his bottom lip playfully and bringing her arms up around his neck.

Nicholas chuckled pulling her hips up and bringing her to his mouth, he kissed her passionately making sure that there was no space between his lips and hers so she couldn't breathe. Katy moaned in his kiss, driving her hands through his hair but groaned when she heard his phone ring and she pushed him away. "Ugh, they're always calling you" Katy pouted crawling out of the sheets and reaching for his phone on the nightstand.

Nicholas rolled his eyes, annoyed that somebody ruined his only time with Katy. Her dad was completely hostile towards guys, this was like the first time in weeks since they last had sex. And WEEKS was much too long for Nicholas.

Katy rested on her elbows and answered the phone. "Hello?" she said in a annoyed tone. Nicholas sighed wrapping his arms around her from behind and kissing her bare back, calming her down at least by a few degrees.

"Nicholas get your lazy ass downstairs, I don't have all day to wait for you" Mikaela growled walking towards a window at the other side of the hallway. She looked down at the people that were walking around the streets below.

Katy cocked a brow, knowing a female voice when she heard one. "And who is this?"

Mikaela faked a laugh, still not realizing who she was talking to. "Oh really? You really want me to refresh you memory?? I'M THE GIRL YOU SAID YOU WOULD SLEEP WITH IF I DIDN'T WIN THE $10,000!!!" she yelled in the phone.

Katy's left eye twitched in agitation and she threw the phone across the room. Nicholas flinched. "What the hell is wrong with you!??" Nicholas cried seeing how she threw his precious new phone across the room like a rag doll.

"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ME!???" she almost laughed getting out of bed and pulling on her clothes. "Your personal whore was on the phone just now!!!" she yelled angrily and began cursing under her breath.

Nicholas frowned. "WAIT. WHAT?? Katy I'm not sleeping with anyone else!!!" he stated getting out of bed and pulling on his pants. "I don't know what you're talk about!!" He cried and pulled her into his arms but she pushed him away again. She wouldn't listen to him and just kept gathering her belongings into her white leather purse.

"$10,000, Nicholas" she said looking up at him with her fierce blue eyes that were teary from betrayal. "Even I didn't think you would go that low..." Katy said before pushing the doors and leaving.

-------------------------------------------------

Mikaela flinched when a beautiful blonde ran past her in tears and into the elevators, disappearing through the silver doors. Mikaela shook her head.

Poor gal must've been dumped...

Mikaela saw Nicholas slowly walk out of the double doors, with just pants on. His face looked dark and she shuddered when she met his cold gaze and thats when she knew for certain that she screwed up.

And this time it was REALLY bad...

 "We need to talk"
