Chapter 2

• Kurt's POV
• The sound of my ringtone blares in the air, waking me up from my sleep. I turn and a blinding ray of the sun flashes in my eyes.
• I winced as pain strikes my head, I guess I've got a hangover from last night. I look at the other side of the bed, it's empty. I guess that lady from last night is already gone. But I must say, I had an amazing time with her, that was the first time I had a virgin as a one night stand. Sadly, I didn't get to see her face.
• I glance at the clock, it's 8:40am. Shoot, I'm late for the office already, but who's gonna complain, I'm the boss. I pull my clothes on.
• I angrily reach for my phone that won't stop ringing.
• "What!" I roar at whoever is on the phone.
• "Is that any way to talk to your best, best friend in the whole world?" I hear my best friend, James, said.
• I roll my eyes and head to the door.
• "Why did you call?" I asked as I walk down the stairs.
• Some of the workers greet me and I just nod at them.
• "Is that a question you are asking me? Did you forget the housekeeper is coming in today? You're supposed to tell her your rules!" He said.
• I can already picture him throwing his hand in the air in frustration.
• "You can do that" I told him.
• "Why? Don't tell me you bang some slut and you can't make it"
• I chuckled.
• "Okay, I won't say it" I said.
• "Ugh! You're impossible" he exclaims. I love getting on his nerves.
• "I know. Right, stay at my place and wait for the housekeeper. Tell her the dos and don'ts" I told him.
• "Why can't you do it yourself?" He asked.
• "I'm going to the office, make sure she's someone I'll like. Bye, I have to go"
• " You.... " I hang up before he could continue his ranting.
• I step out of the club and head straight to the parking lot. I enter my red sport car and hit the road.
• Almost at a bend corner, I see a girl run into the road carelessly, my car almost hitting her. I step on the brakes and bring out my head to yell at her. But my words got stuck in my mouth when I see her face.
• She's the definition of beauty, her strawberry blonde hair falls on her face. She puts a strand of her hair behind her ear and stretch her clothes while she's still standing in the middle of the road. Just then, she seems to notice where she is. Then her face warm up from embarrassment.
• She quickly walks to the other side of the road and look at me with her big blue eyes that added to her beauty.
• "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. It's just.. I'm.. kinda late for an interview and... "
• " That's ok" interupts her.
• " Thank you" she said and quickly walk away.
• I smack my head, I can't think of her, I can't afford to have a weakness. Thankfully, I won't see her ever again.
• I start my car and continue my journey.
• Hazel's POV
• After that embarrassing moment at the road, I finally made it to the mansion where I'll work as a housekeeper. I see a bell button at the gate, I press the button and wait for a while.
• A security guard comes out and walk towards me.
• "How may I help you, Miss?" He asks me.
• "I have an interview with Mr Egan, this morning" I said.
• He opens the gate and I enter the compound. And, sweet baby Jesus, the compound is darn big. The mansion itself is big enough to house hundreds of people. A small spring stands in the middle of the compound.
• "This way, Miss" the security guard said.
• I follow the guard towards the entrance of the mansion. We reach the door and he opens it.
• "After you" he said.
• I step into the mansion and I'm welcomed by a cool breeze and a nice fragrance. I close my eyes and take a deep breath, tasting the freshness of the house. I open my eyes and come face to face with a blonde hair guy, he has a smile on his lips.
• "Are you alright, Miss?" He asks.
• My cheeks warm up and I feel blush creeping up my face. I know I'm poor, but I don't have to show it everywhere I go, right?. I turn around to see if the guard is still behind me, but he's not. I turn back to this blonde hair guy and put on a fake smile.
• "I'm fine, sir" I reply.
• He nods.
• "Call me James. You are Miss Hazel Evans, I presume?" He asks, well more like states.
• " Yes, sir" he glares at me. "I mean James" I quickly correct myself.
• "Good. So, come in" he ushers me to a sofa and gestures for me to sit down.
• I sit down.
• "So.... You already got the job. I just have some dos and don'ts for ya. I wrote them down on this paper that I'm gonna give to you, please study them to avoid any mistakes in the future" he said.
• He hands me a sheet of paper. I glance through it quickly.
• Rules:-
• 1: Always wake up by 5am to cook breakfast.
• 2: Never look into your bosses eyes.
• 3: Always replace your bosses bedsheets and blankets every morning after he wakes up.
• 4: Make sure dinner is ready before 6pm.
• 5: Never go to bed before your boss.
• 6: On raining days, always remember to turn on the house heaters.
• 7: Always remember to persuade your boss into taking his medicine every night.
• I take in a deep breath after reading through the dos and don'ts. I raise my head and sees James looking at me curiously.
• "Aren't you gonna ask any questions?" He asks.
• I shake my head.
• "Nope. I'm fine with all of them, after all, with you as my boss I have nothing to worry about"
• He laughs.
• " Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you. I'm not your boss, we're in no way similar. Your boss is very strict, he's a perfectionist. So I'd advise you tread lightly and avoid any mistakes at all cost" he said.
• I nod with a scared expression. So what Miranda told me is true, Kurt Egan is really heartless. Even this man that he's acquainted with is still scared of him, God help me in this mission.
• "I would have stay to show you around the house, but I'm running late for work because someone delayed her interview" he said giving me a knowing look.
• I bend my head shyly. I hear him laugh briefly.
• "Anyway, just know that your room is four rooms down the hall. And the kitchen is right there" he points towards the kitchen. "You can give yourself a tour some other time, but for now? I'd advise you stay in your room and unpack your luggage" he said.
• He stands up and head to the door.
• "Goodluck, I'll come by sometime and visit to see how you are coping with Kurt" he said and head out.
• I sigh and rest my head on my hands. This is gonna be a long and tiring journey for me.
• I better locate my room and unpack now.
