Chapter 3 The Sexy Housekeeper
Hera got in after gaining clearance from the men at the security.
She noticed the way they were staring at her but she was oblivious to why they were looking at her in that manner.
One had even gone further to tell her that she was a very beautiful woman but she took it as a compliment.
Hera thanked him gratefully. She had no idea that he was lusting after her looks.
The girl had curves that would kill and an innocent face that would make a man sin. Despite the fact that she was clad in the most decent of all dresses that they had ever seen, it still didn’t do justice to the curves that were hidden underneath.
Her face radiates innocence and her eyes had a pure glow in them when she batted her lashes. Her lips were oval-shaped and her fair skin accentuated her blonde hair that was tied up in a neat bun.
Hera walked up to the porch that separated the main house from the servants quarters. The security men had directed her towards this area.
She knocked on the door and an older lady stepped out with an apron tied to her body.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Hello” the lady greeted with a placating smile “How can I help you?” She asked scanning Hera from head to toe wondering what she was doing here.
“My name is Hera Whitson and I’m the new housekeeper that was assigned here” she explained before showing her papers to the older lady.
Mariam, took the papers from her hand and stared at it a little longer.
“Ah… you’re the one sent to replace Karla!” She proclaimed. “You’re welcome. Come inside and I’ll show you to your room” she stepped aside allowing Hera to enter.
“Thank you” Hera chimed before walking inside after the woman.
“Bryce has gone for work” Mariam explained “But you’ll meet him later. I’ll show you around the house so that you’d get used to your work area.”
Hera smiled at the woman’s kindness.
She wasn’t expecting her to be this nice. It was great having someone here to look after her.
The hours that followed were spent with Mariam showing Hera around the house.
If it wasn’t for Mariam’s help, she would’ve been lost by now. The house was so big that it scared her to death. How is it possible that only the owner lives here all alone?
“What about his wife and children?” Hera had asked at one point during their tour but Mariam’s face fell immediately. Hera was confused as to her sudden reaction but still looked at her expectantly.
“He’s not married. He doesn’t have kids either. He despises them. Wants absolutely nothing to do with them.” Mariam conceded with pain filled eyes.
Her boss was a very kind man but for some reason, he preffered to bed women rather than to house them.
“What’s there to despise?” Hera asked innocently “Children are blessings from above. Back home, we are taught that children are God’s gift to mankind. They’re the product of the love that a husband and wife share.”
Mariam looked at Hera as she spoke. She was quite fascinated on how she viewed the world. It was obvious that she’s not from around here.
For her age, she was quite intelligent and pretty smart too.
“Why are you here Hera? In this city I mean” Mariam asked when their tour of the house was over. She noticed how Hera flushed to that question.
“I came here to go to college” She replied truthfully “I grew up in a convent back at home. My sister and I were orphans that was picked up by the sisters and we were raised there as well” Her eyes lit up as she spoke.
She was always happy to talk about home. It reminded her of the people there so she doesn’t feel alone anymore.
“Life in the convent was good but I wanted to achieve something for myself. I finished high school over there and so I wanted to go to college and for that to happen, I needed a job so I applied and that was how I got this one.” She explained and Mariam nodded her head in understanding.
“It’s always good to dream Hera and I glad that you are.”
“Thank you so much Ma’am Mariam. You’re very nice.” She commended causing the older lady to chuckle.
“Let’s get you settled before we start preparations for dinner.” Mariam suggested leading the way towards the servant quarters with Hera trailing behind her.
“How many servants are in this house?”
Mariam furrowed her brows in deep thought “More than ten I can assure you but we handle the kitchen work. The rest do other jobs around the house. Bryce has trust issues so he doesn’t usually accommodate too many people.”
“Oh” Hera uttered in surprise before exiting the big mansion.
