** * * * * Crystal’s POV * * * * * *
“Hey you! Stop being lazy, go and scrub the toilets” the short girl who they referred to as Gina commanded me.
“What?” I uttered in shock and wrinkled my eyebrows.
What do these ladies think of me? A fool
I have had enough of their games and tactics, I am not doing any more of the dirty jobs, no matter the consequences.
I mean wash a toilet?
If Mr Noah had added that to my job description then I might have not even accepted the job offer, that was way too dirty for me!!
“I’m sorry young lady, for the past one week I have done what you asked of me, but this time I won’t, scrub your toilet yourself” I retorted aggressively.
Now that was the strong fearless and not-taking side of me
“What do you mean by that?” Gina queried.
Is she deaf or what?
“You heard me right, I am not doing your dirty work anymore” I fired
The ladies stared at each other in surprise. Perhaps they didn’t see it coming, they thought I was always going to follow the instructions like a dummy, but not anymore.
“And why won’t you do it?”
Now that was not Lisa or Gina, that was Mandy, the janitor, and if I am correct it’s her duty to scrub the toilet not me.
It was clear to me that the servants in this castle had all ganged up against me, but they don’t scare me at all, I ain’t taking their shit anymore.
“You know very well that it is not my job so what makes you think I will do it”
“Hey, listen… Don’t try to play smart girl, if you think you are the only beautiful one around here then you are wrong
The boss already hates you so if we report you to him, you would certainly lose your job and who knows you might end up in the streets begging to survive” Gina spoke spitefully.
I was surprised by her words. The boss already hates me?
Were they referring to Logan or Noah?
If it was Logan, did this mean that he knew the truth about me?
No! I don’t think so. Logan made it clear that he doesn’t even want to see my face again. If he knew I worked here, he would have sacked me a long time ago.
Or could it be that this is his way of punishing me?
I was so confused and disturbed at the same time, maybe these ladies had just made it up to scare me!
“What is it going to be, Crystal? Are you scrubbing the toilets or not?” Mandy asked sternly.
I took a deep breath then…
“Not” I uttered.
My mind was made up, no matter who gives the order, I am not washing the damn toilet, never!!
“Listen girl, you better don’t mess with us” Lisa said
“You are the ones messing with me” I retorted
“What is going on here?” A hoarse voice queried.
I know that voice! Logan Stewart!
What the heck is he doing here?
So far I have learnt that he doesn’t come around the servants quarters, that’s why I’m always relaxed around here, so then why is he here now?
I could see fear written all over the other maids faces, they all turned to face him.
It was dark the other day. He saved my life, but I fear he still remembers me.
Logan’s eyes darted to me and rested for a while, before staring at the other maids.
Once again my heart has started to pound in my chest, threatening to leave its position.
“Can someone answer the damn question?” Logan barked.
The ladies looked at each other to know who would break the news and then Gina decided to take the first step.
“She, the new maid is lazy, she just sits here doing nothing all day long, so we were just asking her to do some small work and she refused”
I was surprised. What a liar!
Just because I finish my work on time doesn’t mean I do nothing all day.
“That’s true sir, Crystal is very lazy and doesn’t deserve to work here” Mandy said while Lisa nodded in support.
“Sir…”
“Quiet!” he said, cutting me short.
I was shocked, so he believes them? Just like that?
Well he never liked me from the start, so why should I be surprised.
“So you are all saying that she is lazy and I should have her expelled?” Logan asked.
“Yes Sir” they answered simultaneously and as usual, Lisa nodded like a lizard.
“Alright, from today onwards… Crystal will no longer be working as the Castle maid” he announced
I was shocked. So he is firing me without even hearing what I have to say?
Maybe they were right when they said the boss hates me. I could see the other maids smile in satisfaction.
“From today onwards, Crystal is now my personal maid!”
“What??” The smile on the Maid’s faces vanished and they screamed in shock.
Okay, I did not see that coming.
His personal maid?
“That’s right, from today she is promoted to my personal maid, she would not do any work in the Castle apart from the one I assign to her, no one is allowed to give her orders, rather she would have to carry out only my instructions, she would serve only me, is that clear?”
The girls stood with crumpled faces. Their schemes had just backfired on them.
Now I was above them and they had to follow my instructions, but this was just as much bad news as it was good for me.
Being Alpha Logan’s personal maid would only mean being around him at all times.
There is no doubt he would remember who I am soon, then he is going to make me suffer.
“Come with me Miss Crystal, my chambers are your new office from now” he instructed and walked away
I turned to the girls and smirked at them. Even though I don’t like the idea of being his personal maid, I should enjoy this while it lasts.
Gina rolled her large eyeballs at me and I chuckled.
Silly girl!
I turned around and followed Logan before he got out of sight.
I can’t believe I have become a personal maid to the Alpha!
To be continued!!
