Chapter one
EMMA P.O.V
"Tick Tick tick!"
Gosh! It's morning again and for some strange reasons, I really hate mornings. Don't ask why, because I said for some strange reasons, I don't even know why.
I picked the alarm angrily and carelessly slammed it on the nightstand.
Another morning of problem, can't I rest for once in my life? Why's life so unfair to me? I stood up from the bed, luckily for me, my flip flop was beside the bed.
I hope that idiot whom I call boss wouldn't scream my name this morning.
Heading towards the bathroom, I realized I didn't turn off the shower last night, how come I slept with the shower on, this shows how tired I'm yesterday.
I feel like quitting this job already, and tell that à sshólè that I'm no more working for him, but what can I do after quitting, when I can't afford to pay back the money dad borrowed from him?
I stood under the shower, and let the cold water blast me as though I'm under a heavy rain.
It's cool, and I felt like staying under the shower forever because this is the only place I can find some peace and quiet.
I heard a knock on my door and I quickly put off the shower, I tied my towel on my chest, before stepping out of the bathroom into to my room.
I was about sitting down on my dresser, when I heard a knock on the door again.
"Who's fucking knocking at my door by this time of the day?" I snapped angrily at no one, before sluggishly walking to the door.
"You might like to check the time" came my annoying voice of my best friend.
"Whatever!" I said as I did an eye roll, then opened the door for her.
"Good morning," she said with an annoying smile plastered on her annoyingly beautiful face, and I felt like slapping that smile off her face.
"What do you want?" I asked harshly.
Ok, I'm kinda transferring my frustrations to her right now, but she didn't say anything because she's used to my grumpiness -she understand how much I hate mornings.
"You might like to answer my greeting first," she said still smiling.
One thing I love about her is that she doesn't get tired of smiling.
"Fûck you!" I said and tried to close the door, but she placed her foot on the door which stopped me from closing the door and glared daringly at me.
"What's your problem?" I yelled.
"Reply my greeting now" she replied still glaring at me.
"morning dummy, what do you want from me?" I asked looking into her eyes.
"Master Seth is in the dining room waiting for you" she replied and released a short, but mockery laugh.
"Screw you and Seth," I said angrily and her laughter increased, she held her stomach in the process.
"Can you say that to his face?" She asked in-between laughter.
"Why not? I can say it to his face" I replied. "But not now" i added.
"Pervert, you can only bluffing here, you can't boldly go to his face and tell him what you've just said" she replied.
"Get out!" I said and locked my door, I walked to the bed and sat on it.
Today is another day, full of trouble, let me dress up before he comes here by himself.
Few minutes later I was done dressing up, I checked out myself in the mirror because I don't joke with my appearance, I applied a lip gloss on my lips before walking out of the room.
Arriving at the dining room, I noticed Mr. Seth is nowhere to be found, and a sniffling sound caught my attention.
I traced the sound, and found a maid squatted in a corner near the dinning table.
"Hey, why are you crying?" I asked her.
"Ma...s!"
"Come on, wipe your tears and tell me what's going on" I said.
She quickly wiped her tears, and coughed a few time before she started talking. I raised my brows to urge her.
"Master Seth said he's not gonna pay me my salary for this month" she replied.
My eyebrows furrowed instantly.
"Oh? What did you do?" I asked in concern.
"He said I didn't greet him, but honestly, it wasn't my fault because I didn't see him on time" she replied sniffing.
"You should have known the kind of person master Seth is by now, and you need to start getting used to him, and I'm very sure he's gonna pay your salary, he isn't that heartless so relax," I said placing my hand on her shoulder.
"Are you sure he's gonna pay me?" She asked.
"Sure, he will, just trust me" I assured her with a smile.
"What if he doesn't pay me, I need the money to clear my mum's hospital bill," she said and I felt pity for her, I know how she's feeling right now because I was once in her shoe.
"I'll give you the money if he doesn't pay you" I promised her.
But wait... Did I just promised to give her? From where will I get the money?
Crap! I'm feeling so much like a joke.
"Thanks, Miss," she said with a smile and I nodded.
"Why are you not putting on your uniform?" She asked me.
"I'm going to the office with Master Seth today" I replied.
Right at that moment, we heard fast footsteps approaching, and I turned around to check the person -I didn't really have to check because I already know who's coming.
"Good morning master Seth" I greeted with my head bowed, he looked at me from head to toe with a smirk plastered on his annoying face.
"Hey what are you still doing here?" Mr grumpy asked the maid, and maid ran out immediately as if his question just bred fire.
"Where's my breakfast?" He asked, before walking to one of the chairs that's surrounding the long dining table.
"I'm sorry, sir, I'll prepare it now, it won't take time since is bread and coffee" I replied walking to the table.
"Does that means you haven't prepared my breakfast?" He banged on the table, which made me jump back in fright.
"I'm sorry sir!" I said while playing with the tip of my clothe nervously.
Yeah, I was proud and all few minutes ago, but standing on front of Mr Seth has made me lost my pride.
"I hate hearing that word from you!" he snapped.
What word? Sorry? I wanted to ask.
"I give you five seconds to prepare my breakfast!" he bellowed.
Wait, what? Five seconds? Is this guy mentally ill?
Besides, doesn't he ever gets tired of shouting? I'm very sure he will die of hypertension one of these days.
I prepared his coffee and walked to the fridge, I brought out the Bread and walked back to the table, I pray he doesn't complain.
"Sir, your breakfast is ready!" I said with a smile.
"I can see it, I'm not blind" he replied and take the coffee closer to his mouth.
He spat out the coffee immediately, he stood up from the chair and empty the coffee on my head.
"oh my goodness!"
