Maid for the Mafia Boss

“Nass,” Keian called. I chose to ignore him and continued reading. As usual, he asked me to stay here in his study. I got used to that demand of his. Besides, I also get to enjoy myself by reading books and starring at his face.

His oh-so gorgeous face. His beautiful eyes…—-huh?! Wait, what?

I internally sighed. I’ve been spending a lot of time with him for so long, geez!

“Hmmm?” I heard movement to which I still ignored and focused my attention to the book I’m reading.

“What time is it?” I turned to Keian whose face is so near to mine as he whispered. I swallowed a lump in my throat.

My heart was racing as I glanced at the clock of his study. Why did he need to ask me? Doesn’t he know how to read the time?

“U-Uhmmm. It’s quarter to eight in the morning.” I turned back to him who’s just staring back at me.

His face got even more closer which caused me to lie down on the couch I was sitting on earlier.

He’s on top of me but not totally squishing me. He held both of my wrists.

“K-Keian?” He’s just starring at me intently.

“Your nickname of me is so hot.” I furrowed my eyebrows at what he just said. Also trying hard not to feel flustered. What on earth is he saying?

“H-Huh?” His face got closer which caused my eyes crossing due to the fact that I’m just looking into his eyes.

Later, he sat on my thigh and sighed. Eh?

“You will go with me in my office.” My creased eyebrows deepened.

“Is that a request or a command?” I asked, confused as ever. Even though I seem to know what he’s talking about.

“The latter. You’re my maid so you will go with me everywhere.” He stood up and walked towards his desk. Demanding much.

I sat up and turned to him at the back of the sofa.

“Excuse me, sir, I’m a maid, not a secretary.” I said with annoyance. He looks at me and gets something from his desk before walking back and pulled me out of the study.

“You have no choice.” I rolled my eyes while letting him pull me.

He brought me in front of the maid’s quarters and that’s where he lets go of his grip. I raised a brow at him.

“What am I gonna do here?” I creased my eyebrows at him.

“Change into something formal.” My mouth gaped in shock. He was suddenly confused at my reaction.

“What?”

“You think I’d bring something formal here when I applied to work as a maid?” I pointed out. Does he think that if I work here, I’d bring a dress?

His eyebrows raised but his expression went back to being cold.

“Tsk.” Yeah, that’s right! Tsk!

He pulled me again up to the stairs while his other hand was typing on his cellphone, probably texting.

I just let him pull. What else am I suppose to do?

He brought me to some room here in the mansion and carelessly walked in.

“H-Hey! Don’t you dare barge into someone’s room just like that!” I lectured but he just gave me a blank look.

“It’s Clara’s room, I already sent her a message.” My brows furrowed. Who is Clara?

“It’s Nic’s little sister.”

“Huh? I didn’t ask anything.” He walks to the closet that you was there and opened it.

“It’s obvious on your face.” I pouted. Am I really that easy to read???

He rubs his jaw as he was deep in thought.

“Pick anything here. The one that suits my office.” He stated then looked back to me.

I had no choice but to walk towards the closet. The one that suits his office? I never saw his office!

My eyes shimmered at the sight of clothes in the closet. They’re all lovely!!!

I happily rummaged through the clothes. One day, I’m going to earn myself something like this.

I grabbed a laced top and partnered it with some fashionable slacks. I also grabbed a sando-like crop-top and loose pants to combine it with a blazer. All black in colour.

“Hmm?” I showed Keian the two combinations I made and asked for his opinion.

But I’m still not comfortable with the fact that I’m wearing other people’s clothes…

He observed the two garments. I think he’s going to choose the black one. That’s probably his favourite colour.

“Wear this.” He pointed the black clothes. I knew it.

“Okay, maître.” I sarcastically remarked. He just raised a brow and just stood on his spomin

Is he just gonna stay there till later? I observed him from head to toe. Isn’t he going to change, as well?

“I have my suit in my office ready.” I gaped my mouth once again. Am I really that predictable???

“Nass,” I was shocked when he suddenly drew his face near mine.

“Hey! Keian! My cheeks!” How dare he pinch my face! That was painful!

I looked into his eyes directly only to see his cold expression.

“Cute,” I stoped at what he said. Wait, I’m having a hard time processing his words in my mind. Did he just say cute?

His gaze softened and later our lips almost touched. I just stood there, wide-eyed.

He distanced himself and smiled as he held both of my cheeks. Wait! He smiled!

“Baby,” he stated and happily laid down on the room’s bed. Did he just call me baby??!!

Eh?

Looks like he’s in a good mood today.

I looked at him whose eyes are being covered by his arms, I can’t help but smile.

I went to the bathroom to change. It’s been a while since I wore fancy clothes like these. Ever since I started living in the streets.

I gasped as I got out, feeling a bit ashamed at what I look like. But the clothes are really just stunning.

Keian sits up from the bed and slightly looked at me. His eyes widened at first but then he smiled in the end.

“H-How do I look?” I walked to him like a model.

“You look beautiful and sexy.” He said in a husky voice. This made me blush real hard.

He pulled me to sit on the floor in front of him, my back facing him.

He caressed his fingers through my hair as if he was combing it and I can’t help but yawn since his gesture is making me feel sleepy.

He grabs my hand and harshly get the wrist band around my wrists.

I was about to turn my head to shot him a glare but he steadied my head.

“Don’t move.” He coldly said and I just rolled my eyes as I faced the floor.

I felt him trying to tie my hair. Wow, he actually knows how to do that?!

As he lets go of my head, I touched his work. My long hair is tied in a high ponytail but it’s too loose that it might fall off quickly.

It’s cute.

“Pfft!—” I covered my mouth so my grin wouldn’t show till I felt a dark presence behind me.

I started to tie my hair properly.

I calmed myself down since he might get mad at me. As I heard him sigh, I stood up and faced him who returned his cold facial expression.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“Get whatever shoes you want in Clara’s shoe rack.” He stated and pointed his hand. I raised a brow as I walked to the shoe rack he was talking about.

I grabbed a half inch stiletto heels that are black in colour and wore it.

Keian walks his way to me which made me stand up properly.

“Heh.” I smirked since the shoes made me taller, causing me to almost reach his height. He just continuously starred at me.

“Let’s go,” he says while holding my hand. And as usual, I let him pull me wherever he went.

At the front door there was already a car waiting along with an middle-aged man.

“Good morning, maître.” He greets then bowed. Keian nodded as the man opened the car door for us. Keian lets me sit there first. He’s a fine gentleman after all.

Keian was still holding my hand during the car ride and even up until we were at one of the tallest buildings.

I looked at where the car stopped. Goodness, it’s so huge.

At the entrance I read the huge sign that says Marques Manufacturing and there are also a few staff in line.

Manong Lardo comes out of the car and opens the door for us again. Kei was about to go out but he’s still not letting go of my hand and on the spot we’re sitting on.

He raised a brow at me and of course, I also raised my brows in return.

“What?” He was a bit irritated as he asked.

“Aren’t you going to let go of my hand?” His eyebrows creased, his action might be permanent later. I sighed.

“I’m your maid, Keian.” I said with emphasis which made his expression cold. He squeezed my hand before letting it go and walking out of the car.

I followed him while the man held my hand to assist me in going down.

“Thank you.” He smiles back to me in return and slams the car door shut.

Kei started to walk so fast that I needed to catch up to him. Geez.

I wasn’t surprised when all of the staff bowed their heads to him as soon as we arrived at the entrance.

“Good morning, sir.” The employees would always greet everytime they see us which Keian would just nod or give them a look in response.

While walking, someone came along with us; a man wearing a suit and eyeglasses.

I also noticed him having a hard time catching up with Kei, even me. This man’s steps are so wide.

“Good morning, sir.” Kei looks at him and nodded.

“Mrs. Santos from the metal works factory wants to talk to you. She demands that it’s urgent.” Kei returned his gaze at front.

“Talk to Penny about my schedule.”

“But sir, she ssys she really needs to talk to you.” He ignored the words and when the man looked at me, I was the one who muttered out a sorry to which he just nodded.

Keian goes inside an elevator separate from the others. Looks like this one’s specially made for him.

We go there and he pressed the 21st floor.

It’s eerily quiet as the elevator climbed up. For a minute there I guess Kei got in a bad mood because of me. I internally sighed.

As the elevator opened, I followed my companion who seems like he’s always in a hurry.

“Good morning, sir.” There are around five stalls in here and everybody that was in there stood up as they saw Kei.

As we went to his office, a woman showing her cleavage greeted us enthusiastically. I blinked my eyes at the sight of her.

“Hi sir.” She says with style which made my eyes shot her a glare.

“Penny, my schedule.” Ahh, so she’s the secretary. The woman looks at the clipboard she’s holding and started to enumerate.

“…and you have a meeting with the marketing department at 3:30 pm.” I gaped at all the tasks pending in his schedule. If he has a lot of work back home, he surely has a ton here in his office.

I can’t help but notice Penny lowering her body on purpose just to flex her chest. Fine, you win. Geez.

“Okay,” Keian only replies, ignoring the way his secretary was flirting with him. Ha! Good for you!

I tried hard not to let out a smirk as we entered Kei’s office.

I looked around and was stunned as his office was much more bigger than his study back at the mansion.

There was also a large window that reached the floor and you can clearly see the view outside. There’s also a couch here and a coffee table with a lot of bookshelves.

I stopped as Keian faced me. We’re so near with each other and I was gazing upon him, looking through his eyes.

“W-Why?” His eyes are extremely beautiful. It’d be nicer if he sharpen his look, yeah. It’ll be more attractive. I’m sarcastic.

“Mine.” He stares at me for a long time before turning around and walked towards his desk.
