Hire a Maid by Zainab Ajike (top 100 novels of all time txt) 📕

Angelina’s point of view:

Monday oh Monday, I got ready for my new job. Dress in a long sleeve shirt and a pencil skirt. I was never a fan of skirt, I prefer trouser to it. I have been keeping the skirt inside my wardrobe since I graduated high school. I look into the mirror to look at my reflection, once I was okay with my look, I move away and grabbed my mini handbag that was gifted to me by my mom on my birthday, the handbag is empty except from my drug, few dollar notes and stationeries so don’t be fooled by it.

I went out to the kitchen to see my mom trying to please abbey with his favourite dish, I smiled and look away, I went into the sitting room to see day reading the newspaper while seated, we talked and he advised me about my behaviour on my new job, I was conscious about the time, when it was time to leave home, I bid my family goodbye.

I boarded taxi to the address Mr. Martins gave me, I was nervous as hell, you know first job and even I haven’t met the person that I will start working for, I bit my lip due to the nervousness. Who is the person? I know he is a guy but is he cold? Is he heartless? Is he nice? Is he a bad guy? Is everything or nothing? These are the questions running through my mind presently. I tried my best to take it off mind, if I continue, I will lose focus.

The taxi stopped in front of a gigantic gate, the gate is indescribable. Is it where I will be working now?

“We are there madam” the cab driver notified me while looking at me through the mirror.

“Thank you” I appreciated and paid him his money. I got down from the cab and went straight to the gate; I examined it before going to the security man.

“Hi my name is Angelina Moore, I am the new maid of the house, I am supposed to start my job today” I introduced myself to him. He looks calm to me but when I finished my introduction to him, he frowned.

“When were you hired” he asked, I bit my lower lip.

“I was hired by Mr. Martins, the father of the owner of this place, he hired me last week” I replied him nervously, what if Mr.

Martins denies the fact? He looked at me for a while

“Wait a minute and let me confirm” he said and went inside

He came back minutes later and opened the gate for me to enter, I went in but I am confused of where to go so I asked him:

“Please, where will I go?”

“The second gate, when you reach the second gate, you will enter the mansion” he directed to me. I thanked him and began my journey to the house, the house is freaking huge, I am tired of walking, so I stopped to rest before proceeding, minutes later I reached the second gate. The view is freaking amazing, foundation in the middle of the huge compound and expensive cars are packed and also an entertainment place at the corner of the compound. Bicycles are also park at the parking lot. Perhaps, there are kids here.

And the mansion, the mansion is just like a castle designed in marble style, it is freaking tall and well structured. I went inside the house but not after I adore the huge expensive security door. The interior of the house is damn beautiful, everything about this house screams of money. I took my time n walking inside and being careful about not destroying anything.

“who is that and who gave you the permission of entering the house like that” I turned my body to face the owner of the voice, immediately after seeing him dressed in his office attire, my mouth started to drill of him, he was also shocked when he looked at him which I don’t know the reason but I know he is the guy I have been crushing on, I know him from the estate. God I never expected seeing him again.

Dave’s point of view:

WTF, what the hell is she doing here? Has she recognized me? Did she bring the police to arrest me? Seriously I was never nervous before but now I am afraid as hell. Not even when I am ready to go to work

“Hi sir, my name is Angelina Moore; I am the new maid here. I was hired by your dad Mr. martins” she said. Her voice sounds innocent which made me remember her voice at the club, and the incident in general.

It is like she doesn’t recognize me thank god, so now let me play along.

“You were hired by my dad?” I asked feigning ignorance. I don’t even need to interview her, she is hired already. I need her in my life, since when I have met her, I have been wanting her. So the plan is that after using her to satisfy my desires, I will sack her

“Yes sir” she replied.

“Okay, since it s from my dad no problem but I will still have to confirm. As your first day, check the cabinet under the television and take the map of the house out to use, all you have to do is to clean my room, attend to my demands and be in charge of the kitchen, don’t worry about the remaining job and also you will be sleeping here weekdays and you will go home weekends to see your family. Your room is on the map, you will see our uniform inside your room. I am off to work have a nice day” I can see she is fighting her confusion; she looks so cute with her confused face. Stop it Dave and stay focused.

“You too sir” she replied, after her response, I went straight to my car, I am a bit late goodness.

Immediately, I got inside my Lamborghini I called Chris:

“Guess who is working with me in my house now” I said as I started my car

“Who” he asked

“The girl I met at the club yesterday” I replied him
