Chapter 9 (Employment opportunity)

After I finished eating. I checked the time and the time says 11:40. I returned the plate back to the kitchen while John offered to wash it. I dashed out of the hostel, ran out of the school and waved down a bike.

"How much is Honey villa?" I asked

"150"

"Hundred naira"

"Ok no prob" He replied back.

 I climbed the bike while the bike man rode to the villa which is not far from the school. It is 70 or 50 naira. I will carry it next time. Wow escaped from my mouth as I entered into the estate sighting different mansion, I checked the slip in my hand 'No 10' .It is at the far end of the estate. I got there and knocked on the gate, and the gate was opened by an army. "Who are you looking for?" he asked. 

"Crystal Richard" I replied. 

"Okay you are the one she is expecting" he said.

"Yeah" I said, nodding. 

I walked in and a wow escaped from my mouth because the house Crystal is living in, is a paradise. I saw some mean looking Army looking at me. As I was about to past them, an army said in an husky voice "hey stopped there" and I stopped on my track. He used an electric device to search me and later said "you can go". I walked in climbing a mini bridge that cross the swimming pool, and walked to the frontage of the magnificent building. I pressed the bell button on the wall and a lady open it for me ushering me in. I sat down waiting for Crystal.

 After dressing up myself, I descended the stairs that lead to the sitting room to see Cainleg or whatever he called his name sitting comfortably in my sitting room, sipping from the drink one of my maids gave him. He doesn't know who he is dealing with. Maybe when I give him my rules, he will not be able to sit anywhere anyhow.

"Hi, good afternoon" he said

"Good afternoon" I replied, keeping a straight face with no smile.

  Caleb POV

"I needed a cook and I thought of you in alignment to the way you created a scene in the restaurant... Is it true that you are a good cook?" She said and asked at the same time.

"Yes... I can cook very well" I answered her.

"Ok, did you want to be my cook?" she asked

"Yes" I said happily and definitely for sure I will get to see her daily. And maybe have some discussion with her

"Ok, let me tell you all my rules before accepting that as a yes," she said, maintaining her mean face.

Rule 1: avoid making body contact with me.

Rule 2: don't speak with me until I asked you to speak.

Rule 3: you will be staying here with me, because I can eat at any time, even at midnight.

Rule 4: your movement in this house is limited from your room to the kitchen, from the kitchen to the dining table, then back to your room, call me through the landline if the food is ready. And also don't come to knock on my door except I asked you to do so"

I don't want to see you in the sitting room and swimming pool.

"I will be paying you Thirty thousand naira every month, did you accept the rules or not?" she said not smiling, I breathed down before I muttered "yes". The rule is too hard to obey, but I know within myself that I will disobey the rule, some of the rules.

"Follow me.. let me show you your room" she said standing up to walk while I followed her upstairs.

"This is your room," she said, opening the door."Wow," I muttered under my breath. "That is my room over there, don't come there until I ask you to come" she said pointing to a room at the extreme end. I am very sure it will be five times better than mine.

"Your job starts now.. Take this money to change the rag you call clothes" She said stretching money to me.

"Don't worry" I said, feeling very hurt by her words while she dipped it back inside her pocket.

"Your problem... Prepare an omelet and toast bread for me and bring it for me inside my room" she said not feeling pity for the hurtful word she used on me. And for these, I am just accepting this job because I love her, if not I will have dismissed this job the very minute she insulted me. Today is going to be a long day for me.
