The Lonely Aristocrat

Chapter 25

I must have dosed off because when I got up, the boss was already out of the car, calling out for me. He was standing there with a chuckling Alex. I blinked few times for my eyes to adjust with the environment then got out of the car for the driver to close the door. He went for the boss's and my bag which were handed over to me. I held the two bags and followed Alex and the boss into the his huge mansion.

" Lucas, show their chambers to our guests" Alex ordered. Redhead guy bowed and lead the way to what I guess were are bedrooms. Firstly, to the boss's bedroom where I had to place his belongings then to mine.

I was in my room taking out the few clothes and personal stuffs I had brought when something came to mind " if I was doing this for myself, who was doing the boss's?"  Who usually did his unpacking and packing when he traveled? Maybe the waitresses but will they do it here? He came here with me but not as a maid. Does that mean I have no right to do that? And what of he never asks for the maids to help or if he expects me to figure it out by myself?

He won't ask for help. He'll either command or let it slip. That's how far his ego goes. So if I go there , there'll be no problem right? Ok ok so I go in there and tell him I'm there to unpack his luggage.

After thinking about half an hour, I finally got up with exactly what I had to do on mind, leaving my things half undone. Knock! knock! I knocked on the door across the hall. It opened almost immediately, revealing a gorgeous looking boss. Uhh!! I could do this all day.

Snap out of it Lizzy! The logical part of my brain screamed.

" Uhm... I... Uhm good evening sir" I stuttered

" Miss Ren" he acknowledged. All the things I had on mind had evaporated and I was left with  a single thing... the most idiotic part of myself.

" Uhm... Yeah. The thing is... I was in my room unpacking my things when all of a sudden I thought about you. You know because you just came with me and there's no servant and I am not a servant, I mean not anymore. So I was wandering if I was to come and do it because I know if I don't it will probably remain like that and it won't be up to the standards for a someone like so...."I breath hard, my heart was pounding so loud I thought the entire house could hear it and my eyes stung because I felt like crying. I couldn't believe I was so stupid to think of coming and of all things, sprout so much none sense in his face.

He looked at me for a while and then opened the door further, inviting me in. Oh, God! I did a fool of myself Infront of my boss. I walked in his chamber going directly to where I had earlier placed his suitcase. I took it and started unpacking immediately.

I took out the shirts, trousers, suite- I was surprised to see only one suite with this cold weather- socks, then... His brief boxers and of course they were all black. Even after being his maid for a while, I still can't get used to seeing his underwear- maybe before I could stand it because I was only doing my job but after quitting as a maid, it brought a whole nother feeling when I did what I was doing.

I placed all his clothes on clean hangers in the closet then walked out and closed the doors. When I turned to leave, I bumped into a rock hard surface.

" Aww" I hissed in pain rubbing the area then looked up just to meet the boss. He was standing there looking at me intently. His eyes were darker than usual and his breath was a little bit laboured, almost unnoticeable.

His eyes were fixed on mine, which made me inconfortable and nervous. I bit my lower lip and his eyes immediately diverted to them. I also noticed how he clenched his jaws which looked like they could pop at any moment. I gulp the lump that was forming in my throat, looking anywhere but him in the room.
