His Maid 42: Messy? Dirty?
“HOMER!” Dominic yelled angrily as his hands quickly covered his bottom part, and then he reversed back into the room. I was not sure if I should continue running forward and end up in the kitchen or run back to the tiny room or eventually sprint out of the mansion. I had already been traumatised by Sadie, and then seeing Dominic like that made me feel even worse. I froze in the same spot until I decided to run straight to the kitchen. I prayed and hoped he would not come to the kitchen to get a glass of water still nude. Still feeling shaken and panicked, I remained in the kitchen for some time, trying to catch my breath. I bit on my nails and the cuticles nervously. One of my cuticles peeled so far deep and back that I started to bleed. I knew I could not rinse the blood off in the kitchen sink, meaning the only other solution was to go out of the kitchen and head to any of the bathrooms to rinse it off. But I was terrified of finding Dominic roaming around nude. I did not mind s
His Maid 43: One of Them
“Now, instead of standing there and being so proud of yourself, clean this place up. You heard Sadie. This place is filthy. I pay you too much just to be lazing around.” he continued to speak loudly and then turned away. He walked to his office and slammed his door so loudly. I was left in the same spot he reprimanded me in. I was too stunned even to take a step. My eyes began to water up as I just processed everything that happened. Eventually, I slowly walked away. I went back to the kitchen to finish off cleaning what I had started on and then grabbed the other cleaning supplies and tiptoed around the house. Dominic stayed in his office practically the whole day. I only heard the door being opened once or twice when I was upstairs. It was as if he checked first to see if I was around before he could move about. I felt really bad. He had always been in some bad mood, but that day, he locked himself in the office. I wondered how I was to tell him that I wanted to move in suddenly,
His Maid 44: Changing and Renovating
I subtly followed them around the house as Dominic showed Aaron what apparently needed reparing and fixing. To me and Aaron, it was nothing big. It was just tiny cracks on the wall, paint slowly peeling off and a random tiny crack on one of the tiles of the floor. To Dominic, it was a disaster waiting to happen. He claimed that if there was suddenly a natural disaster, the whole house would fall apart. If there was a random thunderstorm, the whole building would collapse just because of those cracks. And then, he took him upstairs and showed him one of the bedrooms that had always been locked ever since I started working there. Was he decorating and renovating it for me? It was a simple bedroom. Just a big bed in the middle of the room and two bedside tables on either side, and a small closet. There were no paintings or curtains in that room, but it was still way better than the room he had made me change in. “All of this has to go,” Dominic said “All of what?” Aaron asked in sho
His Maid 45: Wax
After cleaning the rest of the house, I slowly walked to the office. I reluctantly headed there, but there was no other way of informing Dominic that I was leaving. I knocked on the door and did not hear a reply, but I heard as if something was being played on his laptop or phone. I knocked again, only a little harder. Still, nothing. I slowly twisted the door handle, but the door was locked. I turned away automatically, assuming that he was not in the office. But where would he have gone? I never saw him leave the house. I never saw him go upstairs, and I never even heard his footsteps. I walked back to the office door. I gently knocked on it again and tried twisting the handle. Then, whatever sound came from his laptop or phone suddenly stopped, and I heard the sound of his feet walking on the floor. He unlocked the door and then looked at me. “Perfect timing…” he said sarcastically“I just came to inform you that I am going home. I am done for the day.” I answered He pushed m
His Maid 46: Think Quickly
I unlocked the door, and we entered my house. “Adam, what are you doing here?” I questioned “I figured that if I tried to call you, you would not answer your phone or if I came knocking on your door, you would peep, see me and decide to sit quietly in your house until I leave. So, I knew the only way to have a word with you was to come to your place, sit by your door and hope that you were coming home that same night,” he answered. I stared at this weirdly shaped and odd man in my living room. He was standing there in his light blue, tattered and faded jeans and a random white shirt and his ugly grey boots. I was pretty sure they were once my former neighbour’s boots, but Adam had a sneaky trait about him. He looked like he was fresh from work, although I did not know what he even worked as. However, often, he would complain to me that he had a long day at work and just wanted to rest. “What do you want to speak about?” I askedHe looked around my place first, like I was checking
His Maid 47: Unwelcome Signs
Adam had finally left, and I was stuck in my house wondering what he meant by saying that someone else was going to own the apartment. Part of me did not want to believe him because Adam was such a sneaky thief but then again, he looked genuinely serious as he broke the news. But anyone could put on a serious look and act like they are telling the truth. I picked up my phone and tried to call Emma. The phone rang and rang, but she did not pick it up. I tried again, waiting hopefully she would pick up that time but there was still nothing. I sighed and scrolled to Lizzie’s contact. I did the same, and the phone rang and rang, and she did not pick up. Were they hanging out without me? Did they both decide not to answer my calls? I pressed on Lizzie’s contact again and waited for her to pick up. “Harper… are you good?” she asked after the phone rang for about 3 more times“Yea, I am good. Are you good?” I asked back“Yea, I am just in the office trying to finish off work before I go
His Maid 48: Meet Stella
“Uh…” I wondered what I was going to tell Dominic. “I will be there in a minute.” Then, I quickly ended the call before having to hear him grill me a little more. The agent had only opened the door to the place. I had not yet even seen the place, and Dominic was there attacking me and expecting me to show up in a minute.My phone started ringing again but I just chose to put it on vibrate. “Where are the switches?” the agent asked as he felt around on the wall. “Ah! There it is!” The lights came on, and the living room was plain. It had no furniture. No couches, no curtains, no tables. It was just white walls, a dry wooden floor and a white ceiling. “Where is the furniture?” I asked as I continued to peep around the house and noticed it was plain. I continued to walk around. I reached what looked like the kitchen because of the change of tiles, but there was no stove or fridge. “Sir?” I called out“Yes?” he replied“Why doesn't it have furniture?” I queried “Oh no, sweetie. Th
His Maid 49: Photos
I was completely shocked and worried. I was actually more worried than shocked that Dominic was going to replace me. Technically, he had already replaced me with some lady called Stella who seemed shy and all innocent, but if there was one thing I learnt in recent times, it was to not judge a book by its cover.“So, should I go and change?” I finally asked after gulping a huge gunk of saliva and began to quiver in front of him. “What are you? Pressed? Desperate?” he asked when he saw me nervously shaking. I may have also been desperate to use the toilet on top of everything else, but that was the least of my worries. “You see, if Stella had come in and already found you mopping, she would not have asked what to do. She would have known straight away. She would have confidently swayed her way through the house and into the bedroom there, changed into her maid uniform, and started sweeping and cleaning around even though you were already doing it just to prove her worth,” he responde
