His Crazy Maid

~~~

The guy was pulled away from Annie and as punched several times on his face.

He drop him down on the floor and walked to Annie.

“Are you okay?”he asked.

Annie placed her hand at her chest as she stared at him.

He sighed.

“Did I came late?, did he touch you?”he asked with concern.

“I…. I .. thought you said…. you can’t make it.”she asked instead.

“Yeah, right?. I just couldn’t get over the guilt that I left you alone to go home in this unfamiliar environment so, I decided to take you home.”Boyd replied.

Annie nodded.

“That was close tho. They… they almost….. did the… God… I really don’t wanna think about it.”

“Well, you all good now. Let’s go to my car.”

Annie nodded and shut her eyes before opening them.

They both walked to his car.

Boyd opened the door for her and she got in and he slammed the door shut as he went to occupy the driver’s seat.

Pedro flickered the cigarette on the plate and took a drag of it.

“The letter?”

“She’s well receiving it but I don’t think she knows the source.”

“Of course, idiot. No way she will know that it’s us.”Pedro sniffed in.

“My bad, boss.”

“Good. Keep sending them to her.”

*Two weeks*

…….

“Good morning, boss.”Annie greeted as she walked inside Boyd Brick’s office.

“You seem to be in a good mood today, dear P. A”Boyd replied.

Annie smiled and bowed.

“And this skips my mind. I’m sorry for what my friends say or do that might have offended you that night.”Boyd said.

Annie shook her head.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

“It’s really nothing, sir.”she smiled.

“Are you sure?, and what’s with the smile?”

“I’m much surprised you apologize, sir.”

He’s totally unlike Larry who used up an eternity to say a simple *sorry*

“Do you know where I came from before coming here?”Boyd suddenly asked.

“I don’t, but I wish to know.”Annie said.

“Holland. That place,*sorry*and*thanks*is our everyday song. That’s now we are brought up.. there’s really no big deal in saying sorry. Those that usually lay a big importance on it, you know what I call them?”

Annie shook her head.

“Coward.”Boyd muttered as he turned on his swivel chair.

“And you’re right.”Annie nodded.

“So… my schedule?”

“Oops!, too bad of me!. You have a conference meeting to attend in two hours time. A lunch with the CEO of HappyFace. A speech to the students of Roosevelt High. The….”

And she went on telling him his burdensome work for that day.

8;30pm…

~~~

“After having spend the whole day in moving from one place to another, all what I need right now is to go home and have a sumptuous meal and a nice sleep. Gosh, tell me to get a wife real soon, dear P. A. I need someone to be cooking for me before I get home so I won’t have to be just placing an order each day on the net.”Boyd expounded as he and Annie walked out of their last location on his schedule.

“Funny sir, are you saying you want to get a wife because she would be cooking for you?. I’m sorry but you sound stupid.”Annie blurted and immediately covered her mouth when she realized what she has just said.

But, Boyd seems less bothered.

“Yeah. I’m stupid. A good observer will know that. I’m only smart on the outside.”

“I’m… I’m sorry, sir. That was probably rude.”Annie apologized.

“One reason I like you. You are not like the other girls that never cease to dote on me. You’re truthful, I love that. If it was one of my past P. A, they would have tried to make me feel good, try to seduce me and that, I all think of it as stupid.”Boyd sighed.

Annie nodded.

“By the way,”he said and suddenly stopped walking.

Annie moved back a little.

Boyd glanced at her.

“I know this might be probably to much to ask but…. can… can you uhm… cook for me?.. I will really like It if you do. It’s been really long that I….”

“But, sir, the time?”Annie replied.

“I… I will drop you off after that at home.”

Annie sighed and flicked her hair back.

He’s her boss so she can’t probably… but!

What if he tries something funny?!

He probably won’t!

He dares not even!.

“Okay.”Annie replied.

Boyd’s face beamed with a smile.

Since it was late and considering the way Boyd had been whining about being hungry, Annie decided to cook the fastest – Noodles.

After some minutes, it was done.

He turned off the cooker and dished the food out in a plate.

She walked out with the plate and met Boyd in the living room in a casual wear watching a football match on the TV.

Annie moved to him and placed the food in front of him.

“Just the aroma alone got my mouth watering. Can’t really wait to have a taste of this.”he beamed and placed a pillow on his thigh then grabbed the food.

He picked up the fork and rolled some Noddles on it then shoved it in his mouth.

“Wow. This taste is out of this world!.”Boyd exclaimed while munching on the food.

“I’ll take that as a compliment.”Annie replied as she stared around the living room.

Woah. This decor is exquisite!.

This is heaven!.

“I’m serious, dear P. A. This is damn good!”Boyd said as he took another forkful.

Annie nodded.

She just couldn’t wait for him to finish eating so she would go home.

“You should also have some, little Ann.”Boyd said and she turned to him.

He reminded her of Larry immediately.

*Little Miss.*his voice echoed in her ears.

She felt her eyes getting heat up.

“Is anything wrong, little Ann?”Boyd asked.

She forced a smiled at him.

“No.”

“Okay… goodnight.. sleep tight but don’t come late to work tommorow.”Boyd said as Annie alighted from his car.

“Thank you sir.”Annie bowed.

Boyd nodded and whined down the louvers and turned the car around then drove away.

Annie sighed after his car has went out of sight.

She turned to the house and she caught a glimpse of a new mail in the mailbox.

Huh?

She moved to it and took it from the box then opened it.

*YOU LOVE HIM?*
