He just stared at me for a moment and continued. "I tend to hold grudges a lot and you totally humiliated me today"

"So did you!" I retorted. His arrogance was suffocating me and there was nothing I could do about this since I really needed this job. Who ever knew my life will end up like this, working for an arrogant tool.

"I am going to pretend that you didn't just talk back at me since I am such a nice person." He said in a honeyed tone and turned to leave. For a moment there I thought it was over. But he turned back to face me. "Oh and for your first task as my maid you have to wash the shirt you stained. I want it hand washed and pressed. Ask Maria for it" He smirked at me and talked away leaving me alone with my mouth opened and all my protests stuck in my throat. I really don't remember the last time I hand washed any dress. I mean that's what the washing machine was made for. I went for the shirt from Maria which apparently Collins gave to her to get rid of. After about of hour, a bottle of bleach and a bruised hand later I got the shirt to sparkle. I dried it and ironed it and folded it neatly. I hadn't so proud of myself. I couldn't wait to see the look on that jerk's face when he sees I succeeded in cleaning his stupid shirt. Pathetic, I know. I knocked on his door and entered. He was lying on his king size bed flipping through a magazine and completely ignoring me.

"Hey!" I exclaimed trying to get his attention.

" Shh" he placed his forefinger on his lips." I am trying to read here." He went back to ignoring me. I stood there with clenched teeth for about five minutes.

"Okay, what?" he closed the magazine and turned to face me.

"I brought your shirt. Hand washed and pressed. Where do I put it?"  He stood up and walked to me and took the shirt from my hands and inspected it.

"Wow you did a great job." He acknowledged. Then he crumpled it and handed it back to me. "But throw it away"

"What?! Do you know how long it took to wash this? I hands ache like hell and you want me to throw  it out?" I shouted with my rage evident on my face. He better give me a good reason for wanting me to throw it away. As if it wasn't obviously because he wanted to torment me.

" You don't expect me to wear that. It reeks of bleach. I hate the smell. And stop complaining and do your job. You can leave my room now don't let the door hit you" He shooed me and grabbed a book from his shelf and went back to his. I wanted to strangle him so much. I went to back to the kitchen and threw the shirt in the bin so hard that it almost tipped over. For the rest of my hours there Collins called me to his room like a hundred times for  unnecessary tasks. I was glad when my time ended. Even if it was for some hours before I'll have to see him again I was happy to be away from here.

I got home at 8:30 and my whole body ached.

"You look like hell" Ian said immediately I stepped inside my flat. He always looked after the twins till I came back.

"I feel that way too. Are the kids asleep? " I slumped into the couch beside him and took off my shoes.

"Yeah just put them to bed. What happened?"

"I met my boss' son today and you wouldn't guess who it was."

"Who?" 

"The guy from the shop today. The was acting like a jerk to Linda."

"No way" he said and burst into laughter. "I'm guessing he remembered you."

I nodded and Ian kept on laughing. I slapped his shoulders

"Its not funny, Ian. He made me hand wash the shirt and then made me throw it away. See my hands are all bruised." I showed him.

"Aww you poor thing. It will all be fine." he cooed and rubbed his thumps on my bruised fingers.

He stayed with me till it was 10 then left to get some rest. I checked up on the kids then freshened up and slept.

I was cooking breakfast and heard the kids screaming. I rushed to the bathroom to see them at the door and both struggling with the door knob.

"What's wrong."

"Liam won't let me take my bath" Lena complained.

"Why must she always be the first one to bath?" Liam asked.

"Because I am a girl."

"And I am a boy. So what?" Liam said and they both started struggling again.

"Liam let your sister bath first and tomorrow will be your turn." I instructed.

"Why should she be the one to start today?"

"Because I said so. Go back your stuff for school while you wait."I gently shoved him towards his room

"And  Lena hurry up so your brother can have his turn. I want you both in the kitchen in twenty minutes."

We were out of the house in forty five minutes. I started my day at the coffee shop as usual and much to my distate I found myself at the Belkins mansion again.

"Elsa. Collins have been asking for you all day." Julia told me when in entered the kitchen. I wonder if Collins treats her like he treats me since we are bothnhis person maids.

"Why?" I asked.

"No idea but he said you should come see him immediately you get here." she informed me.

"OK. Thanks." I dropped my stuff in my room at the maid quarters.

I knocked on his door then entered.

"Why were you late?" he asked immediately I entered.

"I wasn't . i'm supposed to be here at 2pm and its now 2:05. I got here before it was even 2."

"Turns out I am not ok with you working here for only five hours.-So I want you to quit your job at the café." He said nonchalantly like he didn't just tell me to quit my job, which I actually enjoy doing. If he thinks I will do that then he is definitely delusional.
