"Madam, this is Zella, she’ll replace Venus..." said Mother Helen to her employer.
We are now in the mansion of the Hernandez family. Owns a company where they make racing cars, as well as luxury cars. Hernandez Cars is very popular all over the country. They are the leaders in the field of vehicles. So it is no wonder why their family is a billionaire.
"Welcome hija, come here. Sit down...” said the woman who was probably in her mid 50s. Sophisticated and even aged, its body is still beautifully shaped. Wearing is fancy dress that screams luxury.
I sat on the sofa and she was in front of me, while I was next to mother Helen.
"Good morning." I greeted for madam.
"Zella dear, how are you? Are you still studying? Why are you working as a maid? You don't look like you're just a housemaid dear. I think you’re not fit for this job..." There was sadness in the eyes of madam Sonia.
I was surprised at her question. This is always the case when I apply for a job. I'm half Australian, my dad is Australian. But before I was born, they got separated. I got my gray eyes from him. I have white skin and freckles on my shoulders but not that many. My nose is also narrow, my eyebrows were just right and I had heart-shaped lips that were reddish. No matter what I do during the day, I don't turn black.
"Ahh ... mother Helen said you need a housemaid here. I'm saving for my college. It's hard to get a job by just having highschool diploma..." Madam nodded.
"Don't worry madam. I watched this child grow before her mother died. So I can assure you she is kind and trustworthy..." said mother Helen.
"Oh, Helen, you won't be the head of the househelp here if I don't trust you. So, whoever you bring, I trust you too." Madam grinned and looked at me.
"So dear, you want to go to college don't you?" the madam said.
I nodded.
"All right, I'll take care of your college. Just show me that you work hard, no matter what course it is, dear. I'll take care of it." said madam with a big smile on her lips.
The Hernandez family is really kind!
"Mother, do they really have only one child? The size of their mansion, then their only child is not even around." I asked mother Helen as I wash the dishes.
"Oh, yes Zella. Madam had PCOS then so it was a long time before she got pregnant. And when she got pregnant, she went through a lot of hardships. So the couple decided that one of child is enough. It's a boy. It's up to Taiden to spread their last name. " She said while brewing coffee.
So that's how it is. But why in more than a year I have been here has their son sir Taiden didn’t even came home?
I should ask mother Helen.
"Eh, why didn't sir Taiden come home at least once? Didn't he miss them, madam and sir? It's so sad. He's the only child. He's still with this house that's too big." I said.
Mother Helen smiled and I was surprised.
"Because Taiden is very stubborn, they were always called to school, the madam, when he was still in elementary school. So they sent him to America. Maybe it's his last year in college if I'm not mistaken." said mother helen while sipping coffee.
So that is why. Stubborh, huh? What a pity for his parents. If I had been the rich daughter. I will really be kind. I wouldn’t give my parents a headache.
I was in my second year of college. Tourism is my course because I want to become a flight attendant. This has really been my dream ever since. Because my dream was to go to Australia to find papa. If I hadn’t been able to work here, I might have studied becoming a teacher. Because FA is much more expensive than becoming a teacher.
It's really good and the Hernandez couple is very kind. I have never been scolded. I do my job well. Luckily for me, someone came to pick me up at school! And madam actually enrolled me in a private school. Oh see? Luxurious!
"This is your tea madam."
I said. Madam is in the office and reading papers.
"Thanks Zella, dear..." she took a sip to the tea at the same time. Then she looked at me. "How is your studies?” she asked.
Well madam, good grades s as usual.
"It's good madam and I'm still on the deans list." I said confidently. The madam smiled.
"Very good dear, just keep it up. I know you can reach your dream. I can't wait that one day, Darius and I will board the plane and you will be our flight attendant." said madam who was still smiling.
Sometimes I miss mama because of madam's kindness. My mom is like that too. If only she hadn't gotten sick. I think she would still be alive today. And also, I could take her on the plane while I work. Ang papa, how is he now. Is he still alive?
"Flowers for you baby...” said Anjo.
Anjo is the gardener of the nearby mansion. Here again and flirting. Anjo is thin and tanned skin. He looks like a person who’s one cough will kill him because he's so thin. I don't know if his boss is still feeding him. He looked like a dog was gnawing when a dog sees him.
I accepted the three pieces of red roses he brought.
"Thank you ... maybe it's from maam Sofiya! She was mad at you because you gave me her suitors gifts.”
He always does that. Once again he brought chocolates, I thought he bought them. That was from Sofiya's suitor. And when Sofiya was looking for it. Gone. Anjo already gave them to me.
He smiled. I can almost see his gums in the extra width of his grin.
"Oh no ... it's from the garden. I planted it myself and took care of it...” he replied while grinning.
Most likely, you are a gardener.
"Won't you answer me yet, baby?" said Anjo with puppy eyes. He was horrible to look at. Why is it that this man's eyes are so big! It's about to come out! But I admit that he is very sensible. Even if not in appearance.
"Anjo, didn't I tell you, I don't want to have a boyfriend. I'm going to graduate first. I don't want distraction. I have grades to take care of." His forehead furrowed as if he didn't understand me.
"Zella baby, I've been waiting for you all my life, when I was a gardener I flirted with you. But now I'm also a driver. I've improved Zella baby, but your heart is still not improving," he said while shaking his head.
My God! I'm going to have a headache here!
"Hey Zella! Have you seen the bulletin board yet?" said Suzie, my bestfriend.
"No, why?"
"You're the Top 1 student again! My gosh, Sofiya's eyes will be rolling at you again." she laughed at the same time.
Sofiya is my classmate. Since my first year of college, her blood has been boiling for me. I don't know the reason. So I really avoid her and her friends.
"Maybe it's because our professors were attracted, so top 1 again." Sofiya said to her friends. But obviously saying it loudly for me to hear. We are in the room now while we waits for our last subject.
"Give me a reason why I haven't asked my daddy to salvage that woman yet..." said Suzie.
I heard that her daddy seems to be a drug lord. That's the gossip. But I don't want to ask her. It doesn't look like her daddy does things like that. I laughed and I didn't even pay attention to Sofiya as if the vein in her forehead was about to burst with rage.
When I got home, I was surprised when I got out of the car with Manong Jojo. There were five luxury cars parked outside the mansion. I guess, we might have guests. So I hurried into the mansion and ask Mother Helen if she needs help.
When I entered the living room, the eyes of the 6 men immediately turned to me. Madam and sir were also there with Mother Helen. I looked one by one at the faces of the young men. I guess we were not that age apart. No cork! Everyone are handsome! But a man next to Madam, who was staring at me intently.
I sighed.
"Oh Zella, here you are. Come, let me introduce you to Taiden's friends." said madam who greeted me and held my hand in front of the men sitting.
"Boys, this is Zella. She's my working student.l,” the madam introduced me.
Five men said “woah" at the same time apart from the man next to me, who I knew was still staring at me.
"Tita are you kidding? Jesus she's ... she's drop dead gorgeous! Damn !." said the man in front of me.
"Elton .. language please ..." said madam. "You're all off limits to Zella. She's studying to become a flight attendant. You boy are not allowed to flirt her. I don't want you to distract her, maybe you'll be the reason for Zella's downfall..." madam warned them.
Madam really makes my heart flutter. So I am really indebted to this family.
"Seriously, she's really a flight attendant. Maybe you have a lot of suitors ..." he grinned. "By the way, I'm Elton ..." he held out his hand and winked at me.
Everyone introduced themselves to me. Fortunately, I was able to memorize their names right away. Because I’m sure they would always be here. So I have to remember their names.
"Hijo meet Zella, please be nice to her." said madam to the man next to me.
I looked him in the eyes. Her eyes are hazel brown. His eyebrows are thick and his nose is even sharper than my nose! He certainly inherited it from sir Darius. Clean cut hair with a straight line on its left side. Super cool look! His jaw line, which is so well -shaped, it feels like it's nice to caress. And he has cross earing in his left ear. Madam's son is handsome! Never in school have I ever seen this handsome.
God!
Maybe his attitude in America has changed. As I praised him in my mind, one of his eyebrows rose. And he spoke.
"Why would I be nice to .. her?" Taiden said.
Stupid. He didn't even offer his hand like his friends. Then this is how he will answer? Suddenly my blood rushed to my head. Too annoyed!
"Taiden ..." sir Darius called him.
"Okay fine ..." he said sparingly.
After getting to know each other earlier, I went straight to the bedroom and got dressed. Mother Helen and I will even help other househelp in the kitchen. This is where Taiden's friends will have dinner.
"God! Dude, did you see your nanny? She's so hot and gorgeous! I'm sorry, but it looks like I'm going to disobey Aunt Sonia," Macsen said.
I heard them, from serving them a drink. We're done with dinner. And on the pool side, they hung out and drank. I would have continued as I walked to the kitchen when someone spoke.
"She's so plain," he said, it was Taiden!
Plain?
Me?
The number who admires me at school! Because even though I’m unluckily in life, I was blessed in face and body. My breasts are round and healthy, just right ... cup C. And I also admit that I can be proud of my ass as well. My stomach is also very flat. It always seems empty. I ate a lot. And I don't go to the gym either!
Just blessings.
I even listened to the conversation more. I hid in the glass sliding door. There's a curtain so they can't see me.
"I want to fuck her 'till she can't walk," said Dale.
So many idiots!
"I agree with that ... but she looks innocent. Is she still a virgin?" said Elton and they laughed.
"Obviously, she's not," Taiden replied.
What?! Is he challenging me? I'll give him a taste of my virginity! But just a joke. This is important. I don't want to give it to anyone. And no matter how handsome he is, I will not give this up just to anyone.
I angrily went back to the kitchen and no longer listened to the monkeys talk. Maybe the vein in my head just burst from being so irritated. The profanity of the mouths. They don't even have a respect. They are really a gang of Taiden monkeys. All have bad mouths.
The next day, Saturday, without work, I woke up early and took a shower to help in the kitchen. I also cleaned up the mess on the pool side, made by monkeys drinking. This is where they actually slept.
Just great, right?
So when the cook had finished cooking for breakfast, madam ordered me to wake up the monkeys along with the gorilla Taiden.
I knocked on Taiden's door and called his name.
Gorilla, wake up!
It would be nice to say. I'm still disgusted.
"Taiden ... hey! Wake up, breakfast is ready." I knocked again.
But no one really answers. I knocked again. Still nothing. So I decided to open it. I slowly opened the door and my eyes widened at what I saw!
My cheeks grew hot, and my soul seemed to leave my body at what I saw. I couldn’t find a word and my throat went dry! Since I couldn’t understand how I was feeling and I couldn’t afford to wake him up, I decided to turn around and come out again. It's his fault that he can't have breakfast.
Suddenly someone spoke.
"Elton is right then, you're a virgin," Taiden said in a husky voice. It sound so sexy when he said that. I didn’t know that in those simple words I could use the word sexy!
