Maid For Him

Part Three: Office work

"You are late...... Again", she accosted me with a frown
"Umm traffic I guess", I mumbled

Seriously
Somebody should hold me down, I'm starting to hate people

Agatha strutted out of the maid washroom while barking orders to everyone.
I packed up my stuff and uniform in a duffle bag ready to do to the office for cleaning.
Apparently, I'm the only maid being sent from the house to the office for cleaning. The company already have their cleaning service but my own cleaning is like a punishment for my first day and an attempt to reduce my shift at the house.

Many of the other maids and menservants avoided me because I was termed trouble and " the careless one" except Madeline. She made working as maid look good and she kept encouraging me. I first met her on my way out after the garden visit, since then, we've been close.

"Good luck at the office", Madeline said
"You say it like I'm going for an office job instead of cleaning but pour all the luck you have on me, I'm gonna need it", I said raising my hands and closing my eyes as if ready for a cold bath.
"Heheh, you are funny. Don't be so dramatic, just get in, do your job and get out"
"And what exactly is my job"

"I think you'll be assigned"

Twenty minutes and two Starbucks coffee later, I alight from the car ( the driver dropped me off) and walk into a huge building tagged ' Wilco'.
The elevator ride was eventful with me nodding and shaking to the tune that played but it escalated to me making up a song and dancing like a lunatic.

"You must be the new cleaner"
"That I am"
" Follow me"
I was introduced to yet another head cleaner but this time, a male. If he's anything like Agatha, I might as well quit now.
"Oh great, you are here, just on time. I'm Frank, head of the cleaning department here at Wilco. You are welcome"

I take it back; not everyone in the world is evil
"Hi,I'm Jess Dawn, new cleaner reporting for duty", this is the meek me
"How old are you Jess", he said while motioning me towards an entrance
"Well I'm 23 and a half", I smile
"Haaa, now nobody says that"

I could work with this people; I was introduced to most of the cleaners and they were very friendly and accepted me easily. There was Marie, John, Betty, Stella and so many more. Who knew a cleaner's job would be so exciting. Just like the house, they had a washroom but while they was a compartment for cleaning items and equipment, there was a lounge for resting after work. They also work in shifts just like the house.

After the introductions, I was told that most of the cleaning occurred very early in the morning or late in the evening.

Wait what??
I arrived at 12 noon
So I'm going to be here till 6pm to clean?? So much for do your job and get out huh Madeline

To help my current situation, I was given a tour by Stella. She was a single mother with two kids, blond hair, average height and easy going.
I came to know that the company building was made up of 50 stories and each floor consisting of an office department up and running and the 50th floor, a penthouse for the boss whom Stella called a workaholic.
I asked her why she said so and she commented that the young man loved work and runs the office well but still a strict boss.
"So let's say he's the office boss", I said
She smiled and nodded

I wasn't taken to all the floors
I mean, who has that time?
Plus some floors were restricted like 50th floor for example
Except for cleaning and the boss

Time flew really fast but to revive my spirit on the cleaning work, Frank suggested I go on trash duty; picking up full trash can and trashing them.
At exactly 6pm, workers began leaving the building, making way for the cleaners to do their job. I motioned to help but with most of the job being done on different floors, I hopped in the elevator and punched 49
This floor had to be ripe for cleaning, seeing that nobody went that high.

To confess, I had been curious of what the 50th floor contained and who the boss was ever since Stella mentioned it.

Feeling this move was out of my work jurisdiction, I tried repunching the elevator to go down but it didn't bulge
Ohh well I tried
Ok, will just peek and come back down

Dingggg
I reached the 49th floor and saw it empty
Only one office stood here
I made myself welcome; pushing the door open, I marveled at the space of the office and the view from the full glass window/ wall.

Only one thing left to do, I plugged in my earphones and started cleaning, dusting and sweeping.
Almost done, I decided to clean the glass and making up to the top of the glass, it dawns on me that I'm too short to reach.
Dragging a table, I stand on it and clean the glass window with its cleaner when I heard a shout.

"What the hell are you doing in my office", the voice was so deep that I jerked and fell off the table landing on my behind
" Umm .. Cleaning", I replied

" I didn't call for cleaning", he said

I stood up and straighted my uniform. I looked up at the owner of the office and said,
" I'm really sorry you didn't call for your office to be cleaned "
The expression on his face changed to curiosity
"Or sorry that you didn't wait to be called", he said with a raised eyebrow
Wow, he's good

He began walking closer to me and I shifted back. He got close enough and looked me in the eye as if scrutinizing my appearance.
At that moment, I got a good look at the handsome hunk in front of me.
This dude was packing. Slick hairdo, dreamy blue eyes, chiseled jaw and great body
Wow
I just couldn't look away
Until he whispered " Get out"

"What?"

" I said, Get out. Doesn't Frank understand my policy anymore?", He repeated while dialing a number on his phone
I have to stop him or I'll lose another job

"Excuse me sir, please don't call anyone, I can explain"

He looked up at me and said,
"Well....."

"Ohh, I came here without due instruction and I'm really sorry"

"Is that all?", he looked at me sternly

"It won't happen again?", I asked
He sighed

" Fine, I'll let you off easy just this time"

" Thank you so much", I smiled
His face softened

"You can go"
I rushed with my stuff motioning for the door when I heard
"But don't ever try and play smart with me. I can be sarcastic too"
I turned to see him smirking and I couldn't help myself
"I am smart, I don't play it plus I really can't help myself"

With that, I left the room with one question in  mind
What the hell was that?

Dinggg
