Sold To A Stranger

The car indicator came on pointing to the right. It slowed down and then turned towards the parking area. He was smartly dressed and looking hot with a shaved beard. He looked far older than his age and the most eye-catching features were his shining dazzling eye and his low haircut. Walking majestically from his car, he entered the cottage. Lucy's stepmom greeted him warmly and asked Lucy to bring him a glass of water. He rejected it and told Lucy's stepmom he had already drunk coffee on his way. Lucy went inside wondering why the stranger was there.

She stood closer to the door to listen to what they were about to say. The stepmom started the conversation, she told the man(Master Elliot) about Lucy. She couldn't hear what they were saying again because they had gone deep into the conversation. Later, she got to know from her stepmom that she had arranged for her to go and stay with him forever. Lucy was shocked because she did not know the man and sad that she was leaving her dad. The next day, a posh car came for her to the mysterious place. She got into the car and they headed north to the place. A few hours later, the car stopped by a huge mansion with an electronic gate. They entered and she was welcomed by the warm and nice environment. The driver opened the door for her and she got down. She saw the man who came there yesterday. He escorted her to her room and told her she would be working as the new maid since the other one was sick. Lucy was given a new set of uniforms to put on to start work tomorrow. Early the next day, she woke up early and started cleaning around and cutting the edges of the grass. She prepared coffee for the master and later in the day was introduced to the rest of the workers. She became friends with the driver and the gatekeeper. She makes sweet and delicious cookies for them. The master(Elliot)began to develop some feelings for her. He loves the coffee she prepares and always asks for more. Lucy became used to certain things as the days went by. She was loved by all the workers

One night, Lucy was sending the master's evening meal. When she got there the door was open so she was wondering why it was left like that. She entered and found out that the master was shirtless with only boxers on. She quickly placed the food down apologized and asked to take her leave when the master asked her to wait. She was feeling unusual when he asked her to wait, the master asked her to sit down. She sat down with her head down feeling nervous. He asked her to look at him and don't call him master but his name is Elliot. a she got to know that he was the popular billionaire everyone was talking about in town. He was not married because he was glued to his work and always working nonstop. She asked him why he didn't take a break from work. He told her his fear when he stopped working all that he had worked for would be destroyed by his opponent the Kwartizs She now knows why he always works at night and has less sleep. He finished eating and she stood up to take the dishes when she tripped and fell on his legs. He caught her up and they were left staring at each other. Lucy quickly got up and apologized for that. He told her it was not his fault but his leg caused it. She left immediately to the kitchen to wash the dishes and go to her room. When she left, he was thinking about what just happened and he was thinking about Lucy till he fell asleep. Lucy kept thinking about what happened too and pondered over it till morning. She woke up late because of that and she was late for duties so she rushed to the kitchen to start. The driver came to call her, she was asked to come now by the master. She left quickly only for her to be shouted at by Elliot for not bringing his coffee on time. She tried explaining but he cut her off and sent her away to go and bring it quickly. She was disturbed by the master's sudden change in behavior did the coffee fast and sent it to him. Later in the day, the driver told her the master lost one of his huge contracts so he was sober. She now understands why he acted like that in the morning. An idea came to her to make some sweet cookies and go and comfort him. He was thinking about how to get that contract back when Lucy came inside. He asked her what she was doing in the office. Lucy placed the tray down on his table and told him how sad she felt when she heard about his situation. He was wondering why she would be sad when he even shouted at her in the morning but she was still acting nice to her. He immediately apologized for what he did in the morning. Lucy accepted it and offered him one of the cookies. He ate it and asked for more. He started telling her why and everything that had happened and Lucy suggested a way out to get the contract back. He was bumfuzzled at how she came about with a brilliant idea.
