His Housemaid

Chapter 10

I wasn't a goody two shoes but I wasn't bad ass either. I've had my fair share of troubles along the way but this right now, was more than trouble.

I was in deep deep shit. I could smell it miles away. I even played out different scenarios in my head and none of them were good. Some ended with me being kicked out by security. Others with me being scolded in front of everyone or punished or something.

I suddenly felt very nauseous. It was like a reaction that occurred whenever I was in trouble or in a really bad situation.

I guess I had spent too much time thinking because when I raised my head, Mrs Lancaster was already in front of me.
But the most surprising thing occurred. I expected her to be maybe annoyed,pissed off or something.

Her face flashed first with shock and then changed to a mixture of happiness, guilt and a little of sadness and relief. Which left me confused. Or... wait! Was I declared missing already ?

Well that was fast.

Still confused I coughed up a greeting.

"Hi ?" which unfortunately came out as a question. Trust my brain to abandon me in times of need.

One look and I could tell something was wrong. It was like she was hesitating 'bout something. Which left my already confused mind a jumbled mess.

And then everything changed. It was like those cliche things the badboys in books always do when they love the good girl. Her face cleared of all emotions. I don't know how she did it. I've been trying that thing for ages but my efforts always turn out futile. Or maybe I just have a transparent face. Whatever.

"You're one of the visiting highschool students right ?" She asked in a professional and stern but soft tone I wished I had.

"Uhh ... yes ?" It was these times I wished I was Claire. The girl had a perfect mind and mouth coordination.

"Come with me please." With these words she gracefully glided across the floor. Not in a Voldemort way but in a way that exuded perfection and rakishness. I was sure if I was an emoji I definitely would have been the one with lovey-dovey eyes.

We entered an elevator different from the rest.
This one seemed more classy and private. Anyway we arrived at a floor i had no idea of because I was busy daydreaming. Just imagine you and your role model in the the same elevator.

The elevator doors opened and she stepped out. I followed her with a shy smile plasted on my face. I could tell my cheeks were probably impersonating a fire truck.
I felt a grip on my hand and looked up. My smile grew bigger as it was Mrs Lancaster holding my hand.
I wasn't ever bathing that hand. Not even with water.

The students parted and made way for her and I. She moved towards a platform and it was then that I saw we were at an auditorium. The students took their seats and then Mrs Lancaster started her speech. I could tell Sierra was confused by the look she gave me. I shrugged in return and she suddenly grinned at me.

We communicated mostly through actions and facial expressions most of the time. Until she started making funny faces at me. I scrunched up my face as I tried to keep in my laughter.

Soon enough I could tell my face was red. I covered my mouth with my hands and snickered as quietly as I could.
After sometime I couldn't laugh anymore so I gave Sierra a playful glare to which she wiggled her eyebrows at.

After Mrs Lancaster's speech which I heard nothing from except the greeting, we were served some snacks.

I was munching on some snacks when I felt someone place their hands on my shoulder. I turned around thinking it was Sierra so I didn't bother to wipe my mouth clean but unluckily it was Mrs Lancaster.

I choked on the snacks I was chewing. My eyes turned watery as I began to cough repeatedly. Mrs Lancaster reached out and handed me a glass of water. I gulped it down and later gave out a thankful smile.

"Come with me please?" Mrs Lancaster said with a soft smile.

I quickly wiped my mouth and put on a dazzling smile at least I hoped it was.

She grabbed my hand and started to head towards who knows where. Whiles I just followed her like a lost lamb with a shit eating grin on my face. She introduced me to her employers and staff. Don't ask me why since I'm also clueless.

Later we headed to her office where showed me around and other stuff. She even let me sit in her chair which screamed wealthy. She gave me the opportunity to ask questions and I did. We really bonded. Well, I hope we did. I had so much fun.

For a minute I forgot I was a maid and that my boss' son hates my guts. And that I was an orphaned loser.

But like how all things must come to an end, so did my moment. I had to get back to school. I stood up, thanked Mrs Lancaster who surprisingly looked sad that I had to go.
She gave me a hug that lasted for a while and peck on the cheek before she let me go.

We returned back to school safely and continued the day.
I was bullied again and insulted but, I was getting used to it.

But one thing refused to leave my mind even after I was ready for bed.

Mrs Lancaster and her reaction towards me.
