His Crazy Maid

Annie’s eyes moved around in shock.

“You can’t possibly do that to me.. where did you expect me to get that kind of money and, in thirty minutes??!!!.”she yelled.

Larry sighed softly and slapped his forehead.

“Now, this is what I hate the most. Look here, miss, I think you’ve gone really crazy, if you think I’m gonna perform the surgery on your mother without any deposit, then, you’re so dumb!. Please, use the door immediately!.”

Annie realized shouting at him won’t solve anything so, she immediately went on her knees and clasped her hands together.

“Please.. sir, please.. try to understand.. we only make a living through the little orange I am Hawking.. please sir.. please.. I don’t want my mom to die, please..”she sobbed loudly.

Tears keep falling out of her eyes.

Larry was speechless.

He doesn’t know what to say.

“I… I… I… will find the money by any means but, please, start the operation.. I don’t wanna lose her, I can’t live without her.”she cried.

Larry felt pity towards her.

At least, she love her mother and wouldn’t allow her to die, unlike him.

He’s the cause for his mother’s death.

He fight back the tears that threaten to fall.

*No, he can’t show her he is a weakling inside.*

He pressed his lips together as he tried to suppress the sob that almost slip out of his mouth.

He blinked rapidly.

And, with a loud sigh, he said; “I will help you.”

Annie’s eyes shot up.

“Re… really?… you… you would help me?..”Annie asked.

“Yes. But, you know, it comes with a price.”he tried to act defiant but his voice failed him and he has to curse it

“I… i.. will do anything, sir, if it means getting my mother safe.”Annie said amidst rough breath.

“Be my maid for a month.”the words slipped out of Larry’s mouth smoothly.

Annie stared at him.

“You will pay off your debt by being my maid.”he added.

“What?, impossible. Be your maid for a month?”Annie blurted.

If there’s anything she despised and vowed never to do is being a maid.

And to make matters worst, for a guy??.

Hell no!.

“Well, you sound picky for someone who needs help urgently.”Larry smirked.

He glanced at his wristwatch.

“Well, you just wanted Fifteen minutes out of thirty minutes, which means, this is the only choice you have.”he said.

Annie’s heart stopped beating.

No, no, no, no… why is fate toying with her?…

This can’t be.

“Tik – tok, little miss, tik – tok.”Larry sighed.

Annie’s eyes went to the floor and Larry studied her calmly.

Her full eyebrows and eyelashes were so full that you would hardly notice her eyes because they tiny.

Her full plumpy but round cherry pink lips and the slightly pointed nose.

They all made something called… Perfection!.

She lifted her head but the young lass seems lost in staring at her.

Her black eyes that looked deadly but seems innocent.

“Fine.”she said.

“Hmmmm?…”Larry asked as he placed his elbow on the desk and rested his jaw on it. He was still lost at staring at her.

She looks more gorgeous with the way her black shoulder length hair covered part of her left eyes.

This is what the French lass called.. A’la cut’e☺️.

“I… I.. said I will be your maid. Now, please, let the surgery commence.”she repeated.

But Larry didn’t seems satisfied yet as he stares out at her.

Annie suddenly felt uncomfortable with the way his eyes are roaming over her body.

She stood up.

And that was when doctor Larry was brought out of his trance ?.

He blinked rapidly but quickly.

“Hmm… yes, you are taking the offer right?.”he said as he tried to hide his embarrassed face.

Has he been staring at her?.

“I just said that a while ago.”Annie said lowly with a light scoff.

“Oh, right!.”Larry said with a smile.

Annie stared at him, befuddled.

“Well… I’m just gonna call my driver now to take you to my house and then, tidy it up and…”

“Wait, I will start the work today?.”Annie asked.

“Then you can start tomorrow and we will also perform the surgery on your mom tommorow.”Larry replied.

Annie scoffed as she eyed him.

What a rude prick.

“And, next time, little miss, don’t ever interrupt me. What I hate most is being interrupted, got that?.”

Annie just nodded.

“Good.”

He said and grab his phone then put a call across to his driver to come to his office before dropping the call.

He told Annie to signed the file he gave to her earlier where her consent is given and stated to the operation of her mom and she did that.

Annie’s leg started shaking.

She has been standing for too long and this man doesn’t look like he is going to tell her to sit.

So, she took the permission to her self and gently sat down.

Larry’s raised his eyes up from the files he was studying.

“I didn’t exactly ask you to sit down.”he said.

“But, my legs were hurting..”she pouted.

Larry kept shut immediately.

Her lips looks really tempting really now.

The door opened and his driver rushed in.

“Good evening, sir.”

“Etiquette, John, etiquette. I believed your hands are not too heavy to knock on the door.”Larry said calmly.

“I’m so sorry si….”

“No need to apologise. Go do the needful.”Larry stated.

“O… okay, sir.”

The driver when went back outside and knocked.

Annie’s eyes bulged out in shock.

Seriously?.

Did he just asked a man old enough to be his elder brother go back and knock just because he didn’t knock before entering his office?.

Woah; what an as*hole, who does he thinks he is anyways?, a god?.

“Come in.”he said rather gruffly.

If he knows he’s going to be grumpy towards his knock then, why ask him to do that in the first place?.

Then, the door opened and John walked in.

“Help me take this little miss to the house. She will be the one tidying and cooking for me for a month.”he instructed.

*Why is he always calling her little miss?.* Annie thought.

John looked over to Annie.

“Okay. Ma’am, shall we?.”

Why does it feels good to be addressed properly this time?.

Annie stood up and sighed then turned to him.

“Please, start now.”she said.

Larry only gave a nod without looking at her.

As Annie walked out, he immediately dropped the file he has been pretending to be reading and sighed.

Gosh. She caught him staring at her and that made him really uncomfortable and kinda… embarrassed and.. shy.

What would she be thinking?.

He stood up and headed to the room they will be performing the surgery.

*

John opened the door for Annie and she smiled a little.

“It’s okay, I can just get that myself.”

John smiled back and nodded.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

She hopped in and he slammed the door closed.

He then went round the car and came to occupy the driver’s seat.

He put the key inside the keyhole and the engine came to life.

He put on the AC and groped the engine and drove out of the hospital.

*He must be really rich to have have a driver to drive him around.*Annie thought.

Only God knows how much he’s getting every week.

Oh, why is she bothered by that.

It’s non of her business.

She just needs to work for him for a month so her mother can be safe.

The ride to his house was silent.

The air in the car was cool and she was almost drifting off to sleep.

Soon, she felt her eyes closed and her head fell gently to the window.

*

“We are here. Ma!.”John’s loud voice woke Annie up.

Oh

She rubbed her eyes.

She immediately sat up when she saw someone staring down at her.

“Uhn…”

“We are here.”John said.

“Oh, yes.”Annie said and got down from the car.

The sleepiness that tugged on her eyes didn’t allow her to admire the house really well.

She walked in and the shape in which she found the living isn’t at all cool.

Some dirty place was placed at the centre table and…

God!.

The place all looks messy right now.

She traced the kitchen and when she got there, she almost collapsed.

The plates in the sink were so much and they are beginning to stink.

It looks like they’ve been used for the past weeks.

She moved back to the living and sat down.

Wondering where to start from.

She was still at this when she fell back on the couch and slept off.
