Chapter 3 Tagging along

  • MELANIE WALTER'S POV
  • The next day He Came into the room, while I was embroidering the pillow cases. Without Looking at me he spilled out "She's a Fan of the singer Sia, her favourite colour is Red, She loves animal skin designs, I don't really know how that will help, and she prefers a curtain over her bed" after speaking, he turned to go.
  • I was greatful for the Info, but I didn't really get the whole gist of it. As he left the room, I raced after him "Hold on sir" i rushed bumping into him as he stopped abruptly. My face hitting his Back, as he turned slowly I realized that my Lipstick was now on his suit. My tongue immediately went arid. He is not going to like this, but I was too scared to tell him.
  • "What's wrong Miss Walters? Can't you look before leaping?" He asked finally turning to face me. I shuttered "I...umm .sir...." He stared at me blankly still expecting me to talk. "Sir...umm you were too fast when you Mentioned your sisters likes and dislikes, I wasn't with My writting Pad" He eyed me from head to toe."I guess you Are a dull kid" shaking his head he snatched my writing pad from my arms and Jotted down. I became angry. Dull kid...Did he just call me a dull person?....Did he just call me a kid?. I grimaced long enough for him to see me. Handing me back my jotter he regarded me sternly" any problem Miss Walters?"
  • I wanted to shout at him, Does he always have to bully his Maids, doesn't even have manners I wanted to ask him if he was ever trained. He lacked respect. What an..A......"No sir.." I turned and moved back to the Room.
  • When I was done with the Embroidery designs I wrote down a list of things needed for the room. Going downstairs I met Miss Esther in the kitchen. We were not really close, because she rerely talked to me, although she seemed more approachable than most of the maids, I guess my Job with the room. Had Somehow separated me from others. " Miss Esther.."
  • She was making two cups of Coffee, "yes dear" she smiled while
  • I dropped the list, on the Table "Here are the lists of things I would, Need for Miss Mira's Room."
  • She hurried, suddenly remembering something."Good timing, here" handing me the tray with the cups of Coffee she rushed out while speaking to me."Take this along with the list, just drop it on the table close to the Sofa in Mr Carson's office." I wanted to object, but before I could say anything she rushed outside.
  • Climbing the stairs to go to his room seemed horrid to me, I didn't want to see him again, oh His suit, I knew I would be dead meat if he found out.
  • When I approached the door, I heard another voice behind the door. "wow... Denise, you have a girlfriend and you didn't tell me".
  • I heard footsteps and immediately I knew it was Mr Carson's "What are you saying give me that.."
  • The other male voice laughed loudly "If Am correct that's a visible Lipstick... caught you red handed"
  • I became sweaty, Oh No what if he recalled. I decided to rush in,drop the coffee and the list and go out.
  • Taking all the courage in Me I Knocked. When I was permitted to come in I did as planned. "Miss Walters!" I heard him screaming my Surname like a Millitary General would. I turned and lowered my head "yes sir".
  • "What concept of serve us Coffee do you not understand? Did that table ask for the Coffee or Did we?"
  • I mumbled Picking the cup and handing it to his friend "am sorry sir". Giving him his cup. I turned to leave.shutting the door I heard his friend say "Denise....you gotta have a better attitude when it comes to your maids...C'mon"
  • I went straight to Mira's room, Obviously panicking, I was on probation and I couldn't even last for three good days. I Needed this Job, For Kyrmen and to save up for college. Kneeling down beside the edge of the bed I
  • laid my head Not knowing that I fell asleep.
  • I saw my self, in a Smoky hall, and I seemed to be choking and coughing, this alcoholic smell filled my nostrils and I was not able to breathe properly. It was too harsh, I recalled that I never craved for air like in did in that hall. Out of shock I woke up. There was a Figure before me, that seemed blurry to my sleepy eyes, Cleaning them I looked up slowly Only to see Mr Carson standing before Me.
  • He stared at me sternly, I stood up apologizing. I felt so embarrassed "Miss Walters...you seem to be getting too comfortable.." I cut him short immediately" please sir it's not like that, I didn't mean to fall asleep...I" He moved towards me slowly, in his Intimidating manner.
  • "Who asked you to talk?"
  • I lowered my eyes, shivering"Am So..." "Don't talk unless I ask you to, make sure you get that!"
  • I Nodded. He showed me the list," I would be going with you."
  • My heart skipped, But why?, Why would he want to join me to buy those things, I could go with Miss Esther if he doesn't trust me, This was Soo frustrating." Okay sir".
  • I was waiting for him by the Car with his Driver Samuel." Are you Melanie?" He asked and I smiled "yes" He nodded "Am Samuel...bosses driver" I started "How long have you been, working here?" He smiled "well since I was a little boy" I wondered, He and Sir Carson looked roughly the same age, so I guess he worked for his parents too. "Why do you ask?" He said as he, wore his cap.
  • "Well...your boss seems Soo annoyingly grumpy"
  • He laughed, "oh no...do not misunderstand him...that's just how he Normally behaves"
  • "Normally?...gosh it's a miracle that you all survive here"
  • Sam smiled "You are really funny... actually.. when we adjusted to his behaviours, we got used to him"
  • I scoffed,getting used to that Man is sucide for me.
  • It took awhile before I could realize that he was at My back the whole time or Maybe Not too long ago. "Miss Walters...I don't pay you to gossip"
  • I stupidly apologized "Am sorry sir.." He dressed Casually A blue short sleeve shirt and some colourful joggers, kinda too hot for his Cold and Annoying personality.
  • "What are you staring at?" He asked me. Finally recovering myself I replied "Nothing sir".
  • He stayed at the back of the car, While I stayed in front with Sam. When we got to the first sticker store, I went in to Buy some, while the waited for me.
  • "I don't know why, he would join me in the first place if he wasn't going to tag along....anyway Good riddance I rather not have him, spreading his negative aura around me."
  • A woman kept staring at me, and it slowly dawned on me that I had been talking out loud to my self, embarrassed I rushed to the counter. On my way out I bumped into a little boy.
  • "Sorry miss..I ....."
  • "Kyrmen!!!"
  • He stared at me tearfully and Ran away. What was he doing here, why wasn't he in school?.
  • I was so disturbed, I would have taken a day off, but Mr Carson's scary personality booed me.
  • "I bought some Red bedsheets and curtains sir...I just need to get a rug an animal designed rug".
  • He kept staring at his phone without looking at me, Sam Nodded and I got into the car feeling stupid. When we got to the rug store, he got down too. "Mr.. Carson...I can handle..." I tried to dissuade him. "Miss Walters, Do you have a problem with me choosing a rug for myself?"
  • I blinked "No sir....I.."
  • "Then mind your business!"
  • I nodded my frightened head. Gosh why does he have to yell to make a point. I hated how he made me whimper like a puppy.
  • We got in together, Everyone seemed to be greeting him and smiling in Reverence of him.He seemed to be popular over there. I had Chosen a Golden coloured rug with a tiger design on it. Well he picked a dull brown coloured rug which to his request was simple.
  • He paid for all and asked for it to be delivered by tommorow. As we got to the Exit door of the Store I remembered Kyrmen. I kept wondering why he wasn't in school. Well my deep thoughts put me in trouble. I felt a slight tap on my back. Coming back I turned to see my obviously furious Boss glaring at me. "How dare you ignore me! I have been talking to you for over a minute. "Am sorry sir.." I felt Sad, we already got to the car, so he grabbed my Arm, and pulled me close enough to Feel his face "When we get Home, you will have wash the suit you ruined...." letting go of me, he got into the car and banged the door.I almost cried
  • Can this day get any worse?...
  • Shutting my eyes for a second I realized that, the smell that choked me in my Dream. Was his cologne.
