** * * * * Crystal’s POV * * * * *
It’s been two weeks since I became Logan’s personal maid. Now I don’t only work for him in the castle but next to him sometimes at his office.
He was also a VIP shareholder in the institution where I attend, so sometimes I have to work next to him in my school.
I have now moved into a new house with Aidan.
Since Logan already knew my step parents’ house, in order to hide Aidan away from him, I had to relocate.
My step parents were not too happy about the decision I made, but I hope they would understand my reason soon.
** * * *
It was Friday. Logan and I went to my college together in his car, the school had given him a private VIP office as a business partner.
As his maid, I followed him to have the place set up to his taste.
From the little time I have spent with him these past few weeks, I found out that Logan has become quite popular within the past three years.
When he had suddenly gone missing after that night with me, he had left to take care of the family business in Asia.
Now he is more like a business god in Asia, and so he came back home to do the same here in California.
His Park has become one of the most powerful wolf clans in the territory under his leadership.
Sometimes I wonder what it feels like to be a werewolf, I still can’t understand why I am not one.
I mean both my parents are wolves, leaders of a clan at that, so what went wrong.
Not like it bothers me but why don’t I have a damn Wolf, it does not make sense to me.
“Crystal, what is in the schedule for tomorrow?” Logan asked, while flipping through some random papers.
“Sir, you have a meeting with the McMahon’s” I reported.
He tapped some buttons on the keyboard and then looked up to me.
“Well cancel it, I have something else to do tomorrow” he ordered.
He’s canceling? But the McMahon’s are very important clients.
“Alright sir” I nodded and picked a jotter.
Earlier I had thought that I was only going to be taking care of him, and not his appointment, but now it looks like I am doing both.
Well as long as he pays me enough to take care of my baby, I don’t have a problem.
My phone beeped twice. That must be a message alert, who could it be?
I picked the phone up, it was a message from Rhea. I clicked it open…
She had tested to inform me that they would be holding a meeting later in the evening.
I checked the time and it was still 2pm, so I still have two hours before the meeting will start.
I just need to finish up here and go there, I wonder why they are having a meeting.
Since I will be going home late, I should text Mary so that she can pick Aidan from school and take him with her to my step parents house
Or maybe not there, she could just take him to my new house which is not far from my step parents house. He will be safer there.
I picked up a few document papers that needed his signature, then I took them to his desk.
“Sir, please sign these papers” I said, handing them to him.
“What is in those papers Crystal?” he asked plainly, without looking away from the monitor screen.
So he can’t sign the papers without asking about its contents?.
Does he not trust me? Or is he scared that I would make him will over his wealth to me involuntarily.
I laughed inwards at the thought of that. Silly me!
“The are legal papers to acknowledge your position as a thirty percent shareholder in the establishment, I have already proofread them for any unfavorable clauses or ambiguous words, it’s a neat work” I explained
“Alright, keep it on the desk, I will look into it later” he instructed.
I dropped the files and turned to go back to the chair that was set for me, then I remembered that the college meeting will start by 4 p. m. while my work hours end by 6 p. m..
Logan had increased the time since I became his personal maid.
“Sir, please may I ask a favor of you”
“I have told you several times, you can address me by my name, there is no need to be formal all the time” he said, frantically looking up from the monitor.
“Alright sir, I mean Logan! I need to attend a meeting here at college by 4 p. m., it’s almost time, can I have your permission to leave?” I asked
“okay… sure, just finish up with arranging the files so that it will be easier for me when sorting them out” he replied
“Alright sir… I mean Logan!” I corrected quickly and he smiled.
I went back to my desk and did as he had instructed.
** * * * * *
It was finally 4pm. I took permission from him and then I left for the meeting.
I walked to the school hall but there was no one there, so I had to call Rhea to know the location for the meeting.
She informed me that it was in gym class so I went there.
Arriving there, I met almost all the students in my level. I am not really close to them but at least I say hi whenever we cross paths.
“Good evening everyone” I greeted with my usual smile as I walked in.
My eyes darted around the room in search of Rhea and I found her at one end but there was no space beside her, so I had to sit somewhere else.
“Crystal… you are fifteen minutes late,” the student’s secretary said.
“Sorry I did not have plans for the meeting earlier, I mean I didn’t even know about it, although that’s not why I’m here late though, I walked through the other Hall not knowing that the meeting was being held here” I blabbered.
“But we fixed this meeting and venue two days ago, how come you didn’t know about it” one of the students asked.
It was Maria, the head of my faculty.
It’s just fifteen minutes which was not intentional, why are they taking it so seriously?
Anyway the worst they could do is make me pay a fine, it doesn’t bother me.
“Actually I have been too busy lately, that’s why I wasn’t aware” I explained.
“You mean, too busy attending to your boss” a random student said in a mocking tone and some others laughed.
“Excuse me? I don’t understand!”
Could they be speaking about Logan? I hope not, how on Earth did they know that I work for him?
“Listen Crystal, we have seen you accompanying the school’s newest shareholder, Mr Logan Stewart, and there have been rumors that you are his personal maid. In fact, I don’t think they are rumors, I think it’s true,” another said and laughed.
I felt humiliated. So they know?
No! I need to protect my pride, if they found out I was a maid, I won’t be able to walk in the college hallways with my shoulders high ever again.
“You girls are getting it wrong, I am not his maid” I said in denial.
“Really? Then why are you always around him, can you tell us?” Audrey said.
She was among the gossipers we have in our level, there is a big chance that she is the one spreading this rumors
“I am only beside him because…. Because he is my boyfriend!!”
Ugh! I can’t believe I said that!
Tbc!!
