15. The Maid!

Author's POV

Arabella got ready for the day. It was her first day and she was nervous. The job is important to take care of Matilda.

"All the best"

Julie handed her the phone.

"I have downloaded songs in it so you can listen to it on your way there."

"Thanks"

Arabella placed it in her jacket.

"And call me if anything happens."

Julie hugged her.

"As if you can do anything."

Arabella smiled.

Julie laughed.

"True that"

"I am leaving now..."

She waved a good bye and went to the Knight house.

The road towards the house was deserted. The house was well planned away from the crowd of the town.

She rang the doorbell and nervously waited for someone to open the door.

It was Garry who opened it and smiled at her.

"You are exactly on time. Come"

Arabella entered inside and the warmth of the house greeted her.

"Cami will explain your work to you."

"Okay, Sir"

She nodded.

"Don't call me Sir. You can call me Garry."

He was friendly with her knowing that his boss is interested in the girl and he has to be nice.

"You can call everyone in the house by name except Arthur. Everyone calls him chief."

"Okay"

She nodded like a child who was getting instructed by a teacher.

She met Cami who nicely explained work to her.

"Be comfortable and tell me if you need anything..."

Arabella started doing her work. The most cleaning was needed in the kitchen as Cami was continuously cooking. First breakfast then lunch then evening snacks and then dinner.

She got to know that Arthur is very strict about his diet and prefers everything super clean around him. No wonder Cami couldn't take the pressure.

Meanwhile Arthur was thinking about the girl who did something to his heart. He didn't know that he has soft side too which instantly came out when he saw her cute face. Everyone knows him as a strict Chief who doesn't tolerate any mistake in his training ground or in his personal life.

Her innocent face wasn't living his mind. Her soft skin was still on his body.

He smiled when he remembered how she hid behind him like a scared kitten. The sense of being someone's safe spot even for a minute was really nice.

He was going back to his room when he caught a glimpse of Arabella in the hall, she turned around and walked away.

He shook his head and cursed.

"What the fuck is happening to me. Am I daydreaming?"

He shook his and went back to his room.

It was evening when Garry came to Cami.

"Is she working properly?"

Cami nodded with smile.

"She is really nice girl. She is helping me in the kitchen also. Very good in her job. Look at the dishes, you can see your face in it."

"Okay, Cami. I got it. She is good at her work."

Garry chuckled.

"Good that you have a friend now."

"She doesn't talk much, only talks when it's required. A very calm and shy girl she is... I liked her."

She praised her.

"Good, everyone likes her."

Garry shook his head amused.

Arabella came to kitchen when Garry walked out.

"Anything else?"

She asked Cami.

"Can you take this dinner to the Chief?... He is in his room."

She handed her the tray.

Arabella nodded and took the tray from her. Cami told her where the room is and she headed towards it while crossing the room where Oliver had kept her as a captive, she wondered where is he.

She knocked on the door and heard him approving it. The running of shower told her that he is in the washroom.

She placed the tray on the coffee table and looked around.

The bedsheet was messy so she fixed it, because Cami said that he doesn't like messy things.

She turned around when Arthur came out of the washroom in his sweatpants. Her eyes widened when she saw him without a shirt. The water drops were still present, giving her a sexy look.

She gulped and grew nervous by his breathtaking site.

She remembered how Oliver had the same body and what he did.

"Your dinner is here..."

She mumbled and turned around to leave.

Arthur looked at her confused and shook his head, thinking he is hallucinating again.

"Wait"

He said and she halted in her place. He went to her and gently touched her pink cheek. She nervously looked at him and stepped back just to get trapped between him and the closed door.

Her dove eyes stared at him nervously as he took his time to caress her cheek. He was just admiring his dream.

"Why do you have to torture me like this?"

He leaned down and kissed her forehead.

Arabella jolt back in her place with shock when he did that.

"Chief!"

She gasped.

Arthur frowned at her.

"Wait! What the fuck, you are real!"

He stepped back from her in shock.

"What the hell are you doing here?"

She gulped nervously,

"Your dinner!"

Arthur looked at the food tray and his frown deepened.

"What the fuck, why?"

He looked at her confused.

She stood there silently while growing nervous.

"Garry!"

He growled and she flinched.

Garry came running towards his room and cursed when he saw him angry.

"Arthur"

He gulped, he knew that he wouldn't like it.

"Arabella is our new cleaner... We have hired her."

Arthur was seeing red by now.

"Get out!"

He looked at scared Arabella. She quickly ran out of the room.

As soon as she was gone, Arthur grabbed Garry's throat and slammed him against the wall.

"How dare you make her my maid?"

He growled.

Garry looked at him shocked. He has never seen Arthur loosing his control over his emotions. In fact he is the one who has the strongest hold on himself but things were changing. Garry could see that Arthur's different personality was coming out around Arabella.

"Arthur, listen to me."

Garry choked on his hold.
