Chapter 2 First Day, First Impression

• 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.
• 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.
