C4 THE FUNNY SERVANT

Days run by quickly,

It been two weeks I arrived here.Two complete weeks I got married to the old man Raymond .How funny?

Someties I felt like it a fictional story but it isn't .The fact I haven't see him since two days ago makes it seem unreal but the unfamiliar room and house am staying in shows the reality of the whole fucked up ,ruin and destroyed life of mine.

'kpom,kpom,kpom.A knock sounded at the door"Yes,come in."I yelled.

Marvel walked in ."Goodday ma'am ."

I nodded " What's it? "

"I want to inform you that Boss is coming back home for dinner and you ought to get ready , he would be eating with you"

"What!"I screamed "why?Why do he want to eat with me now all of a sudden. Did I tell him I needed a company .Why can't he remain invisible like he has been for this past two weeks."I ranted.looking furiously at the maid .

"I'm sorry ma'am ,I had no idea why .I'm sorry ,please don't be mad ,I'm only here to deliver the message. Im sorry."

I watched her bow repeatedly with her head almost touching her toes*Damm ,what is wrong with her?why will she bow like that?isn't her neck paining her?Goodness!who bends their head so low like this almost touching their toes all in the name of bowing."

"Aren't you going to lift your head?will you stay like that forever?"

"I. sorry ma'am ."She apologized still bowing.

"It okay already and beside you didn't do anything"

"Thank you ma'am .thank you ma'am .Thank you....."

"Aish,aren't you going to raise your head ?stop bowing to me ,it annoying ,and beside I'm not God."

"Yes ma."she bows again.

"BOW. DOWN .AGAIN for me and you will see what I would do to you ."I threatened her.

"I'm sorry ma'am "she said and bows but caught herself midway before she could bend her head deeply down.

She raised her face and look at me apologetically.

"It okay.Just try not to be bowing for me am not God."

"Thank you ma."

"Don't bow!."I shouted before she could do it .She stilled and lifted her head and smile remorsely at me .

I know it will take time before she would get used to it.Bowing seem to be part of her already and i know she can't stop it all of a sudden.

"Ma'am ,should I pick your dress?"

"No don't worry,I will do it myself."

"What should I help you do then?"

"Um...Nothing for now. if I need you ,I will call...you can go."

I watched as she depart from my room groggily.

I know she doesn't like the fact I sent her out .I have been doing that ever since I came into this house.Shes my personal maid and she ought to be in charge of almost everything about me especially selecting my clothes and setting a bath for me even being around me at all time to attend to all my needs and wants.

But I aren't given her the opportunity to, I distance myself from her and others, dismissing her and doing all those work for myself.

I got up from the bed to go to the walk-in closet when my phone beeped.I stopped and picked it up to see a message. "Expect me soon."That's all was written with love emojis.

"Who the hell is that!and why on earth will the person send such message .Why should I expect you?are you the prince charming that would come to save CinderlleLa from her distress."

After reading the message over and over again I tried as much as I can to connect it with the sender but i failed.The only name that keep coming into my mind is Leonard ,but why would he send the message? .

Out of frustration ,I flung my phone .Luckily it fell on the bed.I was angry and scared at the same time.Angry for whoever sent it and scared for what it implied.

The message will look normal to others but I know within me that it wasn't .I would have say it Raymond informing me of the lunch we're to have this afternoon but at the back of my mind I know it isnt.

First ,he doesn't have my number and second.He cant possibly send me a message when he has told a maid to inform me.

Or maybe he's the one.But why would he attach a love emoji when we aren't close talk more of being in love ?.is he trying to be romantic with me me?.

Well ,if that is the case he need more lesson on that .and beside am not interested in his love dovey bushit.

But then again I can't conclude.

"Well,I will have to ask him during lunch then."

I lay down on the bed to rest my aching head which is pulsating with steady rhythm that brings alot of discomfort to me.

Fortunately I fell asleep.

Marvel's pov.

It has be over two hours I informed the boss lady that she would be having lunch with boss but up to now,I haven't see or heard from her and soon boss will be back.

"What should I do?go up and check on her?But she said she would call me if she need anything.Ahh!!"

I Contemplate on what to do.At the end I decided to check on her.Just when am about to climb the stairs ,I heard voices

I turned around and saw boss at the door walking majestically into the living room with Nicholas tagging along.

Nicholas is his best buddy .He goes every where with him.and he's also the only one who knows the in and out of him.Though he's an employed worker like the rest of us but he's the most favoured and loved.

Boss considered him to be more than a worker.The relationship they shared is one a boss and a worker can never have.

I would say he's boss best friend.

"Mavel right?"Boss asked.

"Yes sir.Good day boss."I bowed.

He nodded."Where is Mitchell? did you sent my message to her?"

"Yes boss."

"Is she ready,"

"Em..Boss ,I don't know .Am about to check on her."

"Check on her?what did you mean by you don't know?Aren't you her personal maid,who ought to dress her up."he spatted.

My breathed hitched at the tune of his voice,fear engulfed me as hot sweat broke out from my fore head.

"Im so....sorry sir,i...I tried to do that but she....she ordered me out."I stamered

"Are you trying to make excuses for your incompetency?"

Tears blinded my eyes .My body shivering uncontrollably that my legs can hadly sustain me.

"I don't think I can do with useless worker like you.You know what?YOU .ARE. FIRED."He yelled .Making my word come to a sudden halt.

How can he fire me like this?was it my fault .She refused my help ,she has be pushing me out since she came in.She doesn't want anyone around her and now I have to lose my job because of her. The only source of my livelihood.

"Sir please.give me one more chance,I'm sorry."I fell on my knees begging and hoping he would change his mind.

"Get out!I don't want to see you here again ,You are fired." he bellowed.

"You can't do that."A gentle calmed voice said.

I look up to see Boss lady ,the cause of my predicament coming down elegantly.

"Ma'am."I wispered.
