Episode 8
?MARCUS’S POV?
“Well Nora, I heard you are being moody, why? Do you want an increase in your salary?” I asked and Mason glared at me.
I can’t apologize to her maybe I can pacify her with money.
“No ,I don’t need money and I’m okay already, she replied.”
“You’re okay already? Meaning? ‘
Well since you cared to ask then I’m fine already. Really, she replied and smiled.
My mouth dropped open in confusion as I starred at mason who in turn starred at me.
“Just like that? “I asked again to be sure.
“Yes sir ,so I forgot to ask you what snack you’ll love to take?” She asked.
“Em…anything you bring is okay by me, I replied and she nodded and left.”
“Man what was that? “Mason asked immediately she left.
“I don’t no, I replied simply.”
“Is she being controlled or what? “He asked again.
“Am as confused as you are man, I replied.”
“So does it mean I can try her again?” He asked again.
“I don’t no, you can try, I replied sharply.”
“Come to think of it , she speaks good English and she doesn’t behave like a maid at all, he added and I nodded in agreement.”
“She doesn’t truly behave like one , I replied”.
“Let’s find out then, he said and called her.”
She showed up almost immediately with a tray filled with sweets and chocolate with grilled chicken brea$t.
“Huh! Are we hosting a party or what?” I asked confused.
“Sir, this are all for you , she replied smiling.”
“Uh…I actually have something to ask you , mason said to her.”
“Is it about the cookies ? $I still…
“No,no , not that , I want to no more about you , I mean I no all the maids here and you’re the newest so tell me about yourself. ”
Oh! She replied and sat down on the “couch without being asked to.”
Em my name is Nora and I have three siblings – all boys.
Yea! Mason mouthed.
And I studied nutrition in college.
“Nutrition as in?* Mason asked.
“I wanted to be a chef actually, she replied and mason nodded.”
I haven’t even asked her all this and no wonder her cookings are exceptional.
“So how did you end up as a maid?” Mason asked yet again.
Em..my father died and my mother was the only one catering for us until she fell ill and I looked for a job but couldn’t find one so I took up the one I saw being the eldest, she explained but I didn’t buy any of her explanation.
“Why is she always putting on expensive dress if they needed money and why did she reject the money I wanted to offer just now? “I wondered but didn’t bother asking her.
Oh! So sorry sweetie , mason said and she nodded with a smile.
“You said you are the only girl?” I asked and she nodded.
I thought I saw you with a lady some time last week and you said she was your younger sis , I asked and she opened her mouth.
Em…actually, she isn’t my sis but my friend, one of my brother’s girlfriend, she replied and i did an oh mouth.
“So you actually lied to me that time, I asked.”
Uh..you see I take her as my sis because I think she’s the one my brother is actually interested in , she replied.
“So that means your brother have numerous girlfriends? “Mason asked and she forced a smile.
Cal ran to us immediately with a phone in her hand.
“Em..sorry sir ,but Nora’s phone have been ringing non stop. “The person keeps calling her repeatedly, she panted and gave Nora the phone.
Nora collected it looked at the phone , she raised her eyes and looked at us as if being suspected then instead of taking the call , she switched off her phone and come to think of it ,the phone looks really expensive.
“So why didn’t you take the call? Is that your boyfriend calling and you don’t want us to no?” Mason asked chuckling.
“Ah no , of course not , I don’t do boyfriend, she replied and I glared at her.”
“Wait, what? you mean you’ve never had a guy before? You have never kssed , r©mance and have sx with a guy?” Mason blurted and she starred at me with her mouth opened.
I…I..I..em..uh..yes I’ve never , she replied and I flinched.
“What the he…ll did she just say? ”
