Chapter 3

We did not stay long in Canada and immediately returned to the Philippines. I’m back to being Steven’s maid again. Lourdes isn't here because she's on leave so I'm the only one left here since we're only the two maid in Steven's house.

"Good morning sir. Breakfast is ready," I said. I saw him naked walking into the kitchen. I blushed and avoided looking at his body. He was wearing only a towel below.

"I’m leaving," I said and was about to leave him in the kitchen when he suddenly called me.

"Where are you going?" Steven asked while looking my body. I gulp!

"I'll just clean the outside sir," I replied politely while looking down on the floor for me to avoid looking at his perfect body.

"You'll staying here tonight," He said that surprised me.

"Pardon?" No, I cannot stay here. My son will look for me, our son will look for me.

"Yes. Because, no one will open the gate for me later. Lourdes is on leave so stay in the house until she returns." He replied and started to eat.

My knees are trembling because of that so I leaned on the wall. Who will be left with my child? Can I just call Lia later? I'm sure she won't mind if I ask her to take care my son tonight.

I cleaned his yard and when I went back inside the house, I saw Steven sitting on the sofa and reviewing something on his laptop.

"Please get my suit ready," he said without looking at me. Is this Lourdes’ job? I thought it was forbidden to enter his room?

"I-I’ll go to your room, sir?" I asked and I am so damn nervous.

"Yes? Because you're going to prepare what I'm going to wear?" He answered while his eyes were still on the laptop.

"Yes. Copy sir," I said and hurried to enter his room.

When I entered his room I immediately go to his closet. What does he want to wear? I cannot decide, this is so hard.

I just took what I thought would suit him, though I think, everything here is just right for him.

I ironed it immediately. I am so careful not to get his suits burn because it looks expensive.

I was about to flip it when he came inside.

"Just a minute sir and I’m done,"

"Really?" He said and came closer to me. I looked up and saw him staring at me. Why? Is there a dirt on my face?

"Wait here," he whispered and turned around then went into the bathroom.

"What am I going to do here?" I sighed. As he said, I waited until he finished taking a bath. His suit is ready.

He came out from the bathroom and I saw the towel wrapped around his waist. I blushed suddenly at the thought that such a body preceded me. The body that I slept with 6 years ago.

"Help me to wear that suit," he said while staring at me. Is this still Lourdes' job?

He grabbed a boxer so I immediately turned around when I saw that he was about to wear it. Seriously, he didn't even give a signal.

"Why did you turn away?" I heard him chuckled. My forehead furrowed and I slowly faced him.

I chose not to answer him and instead, I give him the clothes he’s going to wear. I help him to wear his coat and I fix the necktie because he was waiting for me to do it. Lourdes' job is really hard. I feel like, I’m helping a 5-year-old kid to wear his clothes.

I thought my job is done, so I’m planning to go down.

"What about my hair?" I stopped and looked at him again. What does he mean by that? That I will fix his hair? Confirmed, Lourdes has a different level of work.

He sat down on the bed and I came closer to him to comb his hair. Suddenly my cheeks turned red when I realized our position now.

My breasts were close to his face. Our position is too embarrassing.

"I-It's done sir," I stammered. I quickly returned the comb to his table and hurried to the door.

"Your boobs are bigger than I thought," he said which made me stunned. My cheeks turned red even more. I did not answer and ran down to the living room to escape from him. My heart is beating so fast because of what happened earlier.

‘Is this usually what happened between him and Lourdes? Shocks!' I said to my mind.

When the nervousness in my chest subsided, I just washed the dishes that Steven used earlier.

"I'm leaving," he said. Ah—okay? What should be my response then?

"B-Be careful sir," I said without looking at him. I thought he was gone so when I turned around, I jumped in surprise because he was still behind me and staring at me earnestly.

"W-Why sir?" My heart is still pounding so hard.

"I'm dying to taste that lips." He added.

My eyes widened and immediately move away from him. But he just grabbed my waist back to pull closer to him.

He looked at my lips and swallowed several times. He looked me in the eyes and slowly, he lowered his head towards me when suddenly my phone rings inside my pocket. He stopped.

I picked it up and we both looked at the caller.

He walked away and frowned at me.

"F*cking taken," he said and left.

I let out a deep sigh as he left and answered my son.

'My love,' is what I put to our son’s name on my contact list.

It’s funny to think that Steven thought that my boyfriend was calling me. ‘Stupid! That's our son,’ I whispered.

"Yes, baby?" I said after I answered Hivo’s call.

"Mama! Tita Divine told me you won't come home later," he muttered.

"Yes, baby. Mommy’s gonna stay here for her work. Can you stay with your aunt Lia tonight?" I said.

"Can't you really go home later, mama?" I can imagine his sad face now.

"Yes, son. I'm sorry. You understand Mommy, right?"

"Yes, mommy. Take care. I love you," I smiled after he uttered that.

"I will. I love you too my love," I said then dropped the call.

Steven went back inside with a frown to his face. He picked up his suitcase that was left on the table and stubbornly averted his gaze away from me.

"I'll eat here later so cook for me," he said rudely and left.

'What happened to him?' I asked, confusedly.

The next day I was still here at his house. Steven woke up late.

He just came down from his room.

"I want coffee," he said without even looking at me.

"Yes sir," I said.

I quickly make the coffee and gave it to him then I went back to what I was doing before.

While doing the chores, I feel like Steven is looking at me while cleaning so I looked up at him to see if he’s watching me, but then, all I can see is him, reading the papers on his table. 'I guess I'm just imagining' I whispered to myself and continue to work.

"Sir what do you want for lunch?"

"You," my eyes widened. Huh? Me? Last time I checked I cleaned my ears so it's unlikely I heard it wrong.

"P-Pardon?"

"I mean, how about you?" He said then looked up at me then his eyes dropped to my lips and immediately returned to his papers on the table. 'Okay, what was that?'

"Adobo. Do you like that?" He just nodded so I just get the ingredients and utensils that I would use for cooking.

After a minute,

"The food is ready, sir. You can eat now," I said.

"Eat," I heard him whisper but he said it differently that made me blushed.

"Are you saying something, sir?" I asked pretending not to hear what he said a while ago.

"Nothing. Let's just eat here-“ He paused and took a sip of the coffee.  “In this table,” he continued.

After I placed the foods on the table, I was about to leave when he stopped me.

"Join me. I can't finish it all," he said so I just sat down so that the conversation wouldn’t be long.

I'm nervous because basically, I don't know what my cooking tastes like. It’s either he’ll likes it or not. He’s the boss so it must be delicious.

"Yummy?" I asked. I was waiting for him to answer but he drank the water first and his cheeks turned red which surprised me. Why his cheeks are getting red suddenly? Does he have allergies?

"I-It’s yummy," he said and drank the water again. 'Weird'
