chapter 2
Esmeralda stood outside outside his door and knocked
"come in." a voice answered from inside the room so she opened the door and went inside
"you called me sir."
"yes, esmeralda. please have a seat." tensor told her motioning to the chair next to the bed. she sat down obediently and faced down ready to receive her punishment
"esmeralda." tensor started, "i called you here because i need to ask you for a favour."
A part of her was relieved to know that she wasnt fired. so, curiously she asked
"what can i do for you sir?"
"first, i need this to remain a secret between us." he asked
"okay."
"you know that my family insists that i marry a girl they chose for me, right?"
"yes sir."
"i want to make them stop insisting and i need you to help me."
now she was confused, "but how sir?"
"i want you and i to pretend to have a relationship."
shocked!! no, thats an understatement.. her mind was having WW3. how could she, a maid, pretend to have a relationship with the son of her boss. her boss would never agree to that. she would get fired. no, she musnt agree to this madness although honestly, it would be magic to be with a man like tensor. so handsome and manly figured. the gym knew how to shape him well. his chest was... no, dont think of that now
"but..... but... but sir how can you pretend to have a relationship with me? your maid? and besides i believe that a relationship isnt something to pretend about. it should happen only when two people are inlove. i could also loose my job, and i need my job. madam would never agree..." she was making all the excuses possible to not agree
tensor could see that she was panicking, so he had to calm her down first. he got up from the bed and touched her hands
"calm dowm esmeralda." she remained still as if frozen water was poured to her body
"listen, i know it sounds crazy but trus me it will be a huge favour. you said a relationship should be between two people inlove. i dont love that woman they have chosen for me. is it fair that i marry a woman i dont love? please, help me. i'll even pay you." he said with a sad face and he was kneeling
My god! never had she seen a man look so handsome and he was begging. true, it wouldnt be fair for him to marry a woman he doesnt love. okay, she had to help him but not for the money
"okay." she said
"you will help me?" he asked standing up also pulling her to her feet
"yes sir."
"okay, if we are a couple you have to stop calling me sir. start calling me tensor and other names that couples use.and what you have to do is pretend youre crazy inlove with me and i with you." he said
"okay sir.. i mean tensor. and when will i have to pretend?"
nobody had ever said his name so perfectly before. she said it with such care that it moved his heart
"all the time i guess, since we are in the same house." tensor answered
"will i live here?"
"yes."
"okay. is that all?" she asked
"yes, you may go now."he told her. when she started going towards the door tensor turned as ih he remembered something important
"esmeralda." he called her and went close to her
"yes." she answered and turned with a smille
"thank you." he said and pressed a kiss on her cheeks then gave her a hug
