* * ** * * Crystal’s POV * ** * * *
When the cab stopped and I got done, I was dumbfounded.
I recognised the Castle, it’s the same Castle opposite the restaurant where I used to work, the Castle where Logan lives.
I was now in a dilemma, I had to either go there and face Logan or go back home jobless, but when I remembered that Aidan’s food had finished and I was already owing a lot of people, I had no choice but to knock on the castle gate.
After two minutes, a man opened the gate. I recognised him too.
He was the same gate man working here the other time I had come to deliver food.
I greeted him and told him why I was here, he let me in and asked me to wait in the compound to get the supervisor.
I stood admiring the big compound, I did not take a good look at it the last time I was here.
There were two sculptures of a large Wolf standing at both sides of the entrance, behind them were too long pillars that were up to the roof.
The pillars were decorated with red bricks.
In the center of the building was a rock from which water flowed out and channeled to the garden
The garden was the most beautiful thing in the Castle, it had flowers of so many colors and a lot of butterflies were having a party of the summer there.
On the left hand I could see so many cars parked in the open garage, the people who live here must be very rich.
Oh! How could I forget?
Mum-two had said that Logan is an alpha so of course he has to be rich.
The gateman returned with another stern-looking man behind him.
“Are you here for the job?” he asked plainly
“Yes sir, I was referred to by…”
“Come with me,” he said, cutting me short.
I followed him immediately and he led me into the house.
“Here is your job description, as a maid, you have to keep the whole Castle neat, you’ll be paid the sum of fifty dollars everyday” he informed me
I was shocked for two reasons, the pay is very high which is a good thing but the second reason is that the work is way too stressful, how can one person clean their entire Castle, it’s too much.
Maybe I should leave the work and look for something else.
But on a second thought, I decided to accept it.
I can resign at a later date when I have raised enough money for the sake of Aidan.
“So do you accept the job?” the grumpy supervisor asked
It seems like the people in this Castle are all mean and unfriendly.
“Yes Sir, I accept”
“Good… so if you would like to start today, I suggest you grab a broom or mop already” the supervisor instructed with a straight face.
I guess I should start right away, it will be great if I can make fifty dollars today, I can finally replace Aidan’s finished milk.
“One more thing, the room at the left end of this hallway belongs to the boss, you can only go there if instructed to, is that clear?”
“Definitely” I nodded.
If he was referring to Logan’s room then I am more than happy that I don’t have to go there.
I’m glad he doesn’t recognise me anyway so I will try my best to avoid him while I work here.
I started the day’s work immediately, honestly it was very tiring. I had to mop from upstairs down, sweep some of the rooms and clean dust off the furniture, but I was still Happy.
I can’t wait to see the look on Aidan’s face when I buy him a lot of fruits
* * ** ** * Logan’s POV ** ** * ** *
I stood at the balcony, watching Crystal downstairs as she swept the large compound with a smile on her face.
I was surprised. This is not the way I thought things would go, offering her this job was just a test I hoped she would fail.
I thought she was going to reject the work after she was assigned such a Tiring task or she would give up in the middle of it if she eventually accepted it.
But she proved me wrong, she did not only accept the job but she had been working hard with a smile on her face.
So far none of the workers had done as much work as she did today, she cleaned the whole house and even the compound but that wasn’t all, the smile on her face was what surprised me the most.
All the maids in the house always went about their job with a crumpled face, they are always grumbling or complaining about how stressful their work description is, even though that is nothing in comparison to what crystal is doing.
“Sir” I had Noah call from behind.
He is the supervisor in charge of the maids and other workers, he is an Omega from my pack.
I turned around and signaled that he should speak softly, I wouldn’t want Crystal to notice me.
I have been avoiding her since this morning.
But would she even recognise me? It’s been three Long years.
“Sir… you sent it to me?” Noah said.
“Yes, the new maid, what do you have to say about her?” I asked
“Sir, she is a very hardworking girl, she exceeded my expectations even though I assigned her very difficult work as you instructed.
To be honest, I was afraid when I assigned her the work, I thought she would quit at a point or even pass out, but she appears stronger and more determined than I thought”
“Hmm… Alright go to my accountant and request for the workers payment” I ordered him
He bowed slightly and walked out.
I stood there watching crystal as she took the bag of the waste bin to dispose.
Maybe I had been wrong about this girl
Maybe what happened two years ago was all a misunderstanding
She is not the kind of girl I imagined her to be, I thought she was just a gold-digger, a cheap girl trying to attain wealth and fame by becoming Alpha Logan Stewart’s mate, the Luna of New Dawn pack
But it appears that I was wrong.
After seeing all these, it has come to my notice that my feelings towards her have changed.
The strong hatred and disgust I felt for her was slowly starting to vanish making room for a new feeling that I have always been afraid of.
I turned around and went down the stairs to my room, a lot of thoughts were on my mind.
Tbc!
