“Meet me at the foyer.”
“The what__” A glared throw to her by Alejandro shut her up.
“But I don’t know the place.” She whined with teary eyes, Alejandro glanced at her unbothered before he inserted his hands into his pocket.
“Found out the direction from the map on your face.”
Jasira stared at him dumbfounded with her crossed over her chest. What did fuck was he talking about? She could only watch as he strode out powerfully from her room. It was as if her senses returned immediately after the door snatched close behind him, she dashed to the dresser opposite her bed.
“Oh, my goodness.” She screamed in horror staring at hideous her in the mirror.
Either she was meant to disgrace herself before him or the universe hated her. She was very sure of the latter, the universe dispersed her.
Flames of embarrassment rose to her cheeks and her body. They burned her deeper and she almost teared up.
On her face was truly a map just that they were made with dried drool.
A side of her face was covered with dried drool. They were white and were drawn with different lines. She had never drooled. Why must she drool today of all time?
“This is embarrassing.” She cried into her palm as she bite her lower lip maybe the embarrassment would leave her but it only made it worse. She only released her lip when she tasted the familiar coppery taste in her mouth.
How was she going to face him now? She thought fighting back the tear that wanted to escape from her eyes. She had never been embarrassed like this in her entire existence. She just wished she could disappear from his world. No, she shook her head. Too much, she thought. Just from his life. She waddled dejectedly into the bathroom to scrub her face.
She had a bath in the process, staying under the shower longer than it was necessary because she wanted to hide away from him permanently but she knew that was never going to happen so she gently slipped out of the shower and out of the bathroom.
“What the heck?” She shrieked jumping in the process, she quickly grabbed her towel that almost slipped off her body.
“What are you doing here?” She asked the strange girl sitting on her bed with crossed legs, she was so startled to see her in her room not to talk of her sitting comfortably on her bed.
“You should have stayed outside till I give you permission to enter here.” She added staring at the flushed girl sitting on her bed. She was starting to get annoyed with the way she was silent and looking at her like she was deaf. She stood up gently from her bed and Jasira released a sigh.
But why on earth was wrong with every damn person in this house? Why can’t they knock just for once? They all behaved mannerless and that made her mad.
“What did you want?” She raised her brow at her letting her eyes roam around the strange girl. Her brown hair was packed up into a tight bun showing every figure of her face. Her round shape face with almond-shaped brown eyes. Her eyes are lighter than the shade of her hair.
Her rosy plump cheeks and her round lips. She was beautiful, that she must agree then she let her eyes move to her dress. She was clad in the same uniform she saw on the ladies that followed Lilliy to her room the other day.
A black uniform that stopped above their knees. It was a tape with a short flare at the hem. It beautifully starched her body bringing out all her shape.
“Who are you?” She asked again even though she knew she was one of the maids here. She furrowed her brow when she was taking forever to answer.
Amy let out a long exhale as she slowly rubbed her temple intimidated by the lady standing before her. Her breath came out sharply as she gently rubbed her hands on her clothes and started talking.
“I didn’t know which questions to answer but I’m answering the one I remember.” She answered cheerfully trying to lighten up the tightened atmosphere but Jasira angled her eyebrow higher urging her to go straight to the point but Amy doesn’t mind as she smiled at her instead.
“I’m Amy, one of the maids in this big manor.” Jasira rolled her eyes at her exaggeration and how she demonstrated how big the manor was by spreading her arms wide.
Her face straightened up like she remembered the reason she was here “Boss sent me to you.” She said rather too quickly knowing she was late here already.
“Alejandro?” Jasira raised her brow surprised, but he just left here earlier after giving her stupid order. She hasn’t even known how she was going to get to the foyer and he had sent another person to her.
She was pulled out of her thought by a loud dramatic gap.
“Hey, don’t say his name.”
Jasira rolled her eyes and ignored her fear-filled face before dashing toward her closet, she picked out a black crop top and loose pants. She knew the crop top was outrageous judging from the fact she doesn’t knoww what was going to happen where she was going but that’s what she really wants to wear.
“I will be back,” Jasira muttered leaving for the bathroom to dress up.
“Let’s go.” She announced immediately she got out.
“Okay.” Amy nodded and lead the way.
They walked side by side down the white-colored hallway. “You are beautiful,” Amy said suddenly and Jasira was stunned. She took a short glance at her and see that she was not mocking her.
“Thank you.” She said with a smile before complimenting her also. “I would say the same about you.”
Amy’s cheek burned lighter surprised that she compliment her, she gave her
a small smile.
“Thank you.” She muttered shyly and Jasira chuckled at her shyness. It surprised her that a girl that was very vocal earlier could be short of words just by being called beautiful.
“Can I be your friend?” She asked and Jasira snapped her head toward her flabbergasted, she blinked her eyes to be sure she heard right. She really heard her say that, she was damn happy to have a friend after being locked up in her room for days.
“Of course.” She quickly answered with a wide smile and Amy smile back at her.
They took several turns before they finally got to the foyer. Among tons of people standing there, her eyes were quick to notice the blue-eyed man sitting elegantly on the black high chair that felt odd in the all-white foyer.
She moved swiftly toward them and quickly mixed up with the standing maids avoiding his gaze. They should be up to thirty, she even expected them to be more than that judging from the fact that the manor and everything in the compound are big.
Alejandro glanced up from his phone. His eyes moved swiftly among the maids and were quick to catch Jasira hiding behind a blonde lady.
“Jasira.” His baritone voice boomed across the room and She tensed up blaming her luck.
“Out here.” He commanded and Jasira bit her lip hard, if only he could just ignore her.
She glanced at her feet as she moved slowly out of the maids, she hated how their gazes were fixed on her at every step she took towards Alejandro. Their gaze was like vampire’s own, draining her dry without even touching her.
The scene from her bedroom scene reflected in her brain and she bit her lip harder with her face becoming reddened every second, she played with her fingers and glanced at her feet when she got to his side.
Alejandro studied her features and appearance and saw that the drool on her face was cleaned up.
“I can see you have cleaned the map.” He muttered only to her hearing with a mocking smirk on his face, Jasira snapped her head at him, glaring at him with wide eyes, she pressed her lips into a thin line embarrassed and angry at the same time.
“Yes my lord” She muttered between gritted teeth biting the corner of her lips.
Fuck you, Alejandro. Fuck you. She thought digging her nails into her side.
Alejandro gave her another mocking smirk before directing his gaze back at the maid. He cleared his throat and the attention was pulled to him like a magnet.
“Jasira,” He said coldly pointing at his side.
Jasira exhaled and sauntered close to him. She fisted her fingers nervously, every minute she took in staying beside him where she could smell every hint of his scent was like she was put in bondage.
“She is the new maid.”
“What?” She screamed.
