"Ms. Hamilton?" Cole knocked impatiently at the door for the third time, alas only silence replied to him. He had been waiting for his housekeeper in the dining room for twenty minutes. He could have waited a bit longer. However, since his stomach was fiercely arguing with him, he went upstairs to hurry her up a bit so they both could eat, but obviously the young woman was not as much hungry as he was. Tired to wait for an answer, the man decided to open the door but it was only to find a dark, empty and humid ensuite bathroom. He crossed the room, going straight to the second door that lead to the bedroom he had assigned to her and turned its knob, but the door was closed. He clenched his jaw, seriously irritated. He walked back to the corridor to reach the other side of the bedroom and then, not caring to knock anymore, he opened the first door. His eyes scanned the dim light room and immediately, he located her inert frame only wrapped in a white towel lying on the four-posted bed. The eyes sticked on her, his anger totally vanished. He stepped to her, his feet trampling on the clothes messily spread on the floor. Cole sat on the edge of the bed and watched her quietly as she was sleeping. Her hair was pulled up into an untidy bun and her weary face was still slightly wet from the shower she took. Cole suddenly held a breath as his eyes caught for the first time a proper sight of her voluptuous breasts. He stared at them as they were raising up and down at each of her breath. Slowly she turned her head on the right with a small moan escaping from her mouth and slightly, she stretched her huddled up legs drawing now his attention to them. Contrary to what he thought, the legs constantly veiled behind her skirt were long and tapered. Cole fought the urge to touch them by standing up. He walked out the room, carefully closing the door behind him and put his hand above his heart feeling the powerful organ hammered wildly in his chest.

Bexley woke up at the exasperating shrill sound of her watch alarm. She rubbed her blurry eyes and wanted to remove the sheet covering her body when she realised she had none. She looked down at her body and saw she was wearing a towel. Then she remembered about the previous night. She had never felt so worn out before. She knew her fatigue was caused by the stress about her upcoming exams and her sleepless night of revising added to her work as an housekeeper. Those three points combined together made her expend much more energy than she used to. Bexley sat on the bed properly. She was stretching her arms out and yawning when her employer's face popped in her mind. She recalled she let him down last night while they were supposed to dine together. She sighed in annoyance as she rebuked herself even though she knew it was useless. All she could do now was to hope that he was not mad at her, she knew how easy the man was to upset especially when he got out of the wrong side of the bed. She got off of the bed, tidied it and slipped on her uniform. She went to the bathroom, cleaned herself up and brushed her hair with her fingers before tying it neatly in its usual hairstyle. Bexley moved closer to the mirror to peer at her face and smiled, satisfied enough by her appearance. She took her ballerina shoes on and went to the kitchen. Her first reflex was to seize her apron and wrapped it around her waist to prepare breakfast. She took the ingredients she needed from the full fridge and placed them on the counter. After some breaking, whisking and frying, Bexley finished cooking and a man walked in. He wore a slim fit grey shirt, white chino trousers stopping above the ankles and a pair of dark brown mocassins. His apparel was more casual than other days but it suited him well. His naturally short and curly unruly hair was not combed which gave him a more relaxed and cool style.706Please respect copyright.PENANAw5G57dY9CQ
"Good morning, sir," she greeted him.706Please respect copyright.PENANAWDFaDFOwG6
"Well, well, well. Isn't it my lovely housekeeper who carelessly strandered me last night?" he sais burying his hands in his trousers pockets.706Please respect copyright.PENANA261Z4gVJ9g
Bexley bowed down, "My apologies sir, it won't happen again,"706Please respect copyright.PENANAgmzVAsQEmH
"So what's on the menu this morning?" he asked her changing the topic and sat on the stool in front of her.706Please respect copyright.PENANArGv2XXFNeO
His reaction concerning last night incident reassured her about his mood. She was certain now that the man woke up on the good side of the bed.706Please respect copyright.PENANAiw3Ynk50WO
"Pancakes, sir," she said.706Please respect copyright.PENANAkzUBRuWxRn
"Nice choice. By the way, no need to put the breakfast in the dining room, I'm gonna eat here,"706Please respect copyright.PENANAIkylpVrNE4
"Alright, sir,"706Please respect copyright.PENANAf84jwCp7Rq
She placed the breakfast in front of him and moved toward the door but she paused in her track when he said, "Eat with me, Ms. Hamilton,"706Please respect copyright.PENANAtNiGfw5kNG
"Sir-" she was ready to protest but he cut her off.706Please respect copyright.PENANAUeItovM4Rc
"Don't start, please,"706Please respect copyright.PENANAzZlLlGwc4E
"I'm not hungry, sir," she lied again but her stomach didn't play along with her.706Please respect copyright.PENANA1yMnCgBZDj
"Well, sounds like you are," he refuted laughing at her stomach gurgles.706Please respect copyright.PENANAKNbGhcSRN9
Bexley joined him reluctantly casting him a swift glance. Since last night, the man adopted quite a suspicious behaviour. He acted nice, caring and that wasn't in his habits. Bexley knew that he was in fact trying to get closer to her which was far from delighting her. Many women would have been flustered to the idea of bonding a friendship with him or even more, to share a passionate romance with him. But Bexley was not one of them. She saw what he did to the women he grew closer to, and she would surely not allow him to amalgamate her to those bunch of frivolous, brainless uncouth women who paraded in his house now and then. Cole was her employer only and she was unwavering in her intent to keep it that way.706Please respect copyright.PENANAPPWLHyi1YT
"Why do you always avoid eating with me?"706Please respect copyright.PENANAjVYxGqxbpB
"I'm not, sir. It's just unusual. We've never ate together before,"706Please respect copyright.PENANAUYBE0p6Hxs
"Correct. But I decided to change that. Don't you like it?"706Please respect copyright.PENANAFmGZDdfnNX
She didn't respond. If she gave him an honest reply, she would have to explain herself and she didn't want to. She just took a plate and cutlery from the cupboard and she sat at the counter being careful to leave a vacant stool between them and this move didn't escape the man's eyes. 706Please respect copyright.PENANA8E9XrPTOh7
"You're quite something, you know," he said shaking his head and laughing softly.706Please respect copyright.PENANAPAx3aUA5rd
They finished eating their breakfast in silence and Bexley cleaned up the table.706Please respect copyright.PENANAfevJyd4L71
"Ms. Hamilton, when you'll finish the dishes, make me some coffee and follow me to the living-room. We need to talk,"
