Testing His Patience

"His name is Zale Alcazar,"

Her smile completely faded by hearing Violet's answer. Violet saw a displeased look to form on her face.

"What kind of name is this?" She scrunched her nose in displeasure. Violet chuckled at her reaction.

"His name is just as scary and rude as him,"

Violet laughed and then caressed her head.

"That's bad, Cia. Calling someone's name bad is very wrong,"

"But his name is scary just like his face,"she uttered, frowning.

"Well you're the first person who finds him scary only because most of the people find him handsome and devious," Violet said, making her snap her azure eyes at her.

"They all must be blind or he might have used makeup at that time,"

Violet chortled at her words and then got up from the bed.

"Okay enough with discussing about our boss. Let's go, I will help you in understanding your work,"

She excitedly got up on her feet, hearing Violet and then clutched her arm.

"That scary piggy is not my boss,"

"Well technically he is now because you're going to work for him," Violet uttered, smilingly. She puckered up her lips before sighing.

"Okay but he is still scary and rude,"

Violet chuckled at her statement and then they both left the room together.

The entire day passed and the sun was about to set, Violet didn't let her do any work because it was just her first day here. She just helped in understanding the things around there and gave her a tour of the entire house. She became so happy by watching the entire house.

Currently she was sitting on the sofa and was talking to some other maids because Violet had gone out to buy some clothes and things for her.

"So you're 18,"

She nodded, beaming at the maid. That maid was the eldest among all the maids there and she had gotten really close to her in just half a day.

That old maid squeezed her cheek gently and spoke.

"You're so cute and beautiful, Cia,"

She giggled at her words and thanked her.

"Okay you sit here and I will go and clean Mr Alcazar's room. He is going to be here in an hour," the maid said, glancing at the wall clock.

"Can I do the cleaning please?" She asked that old maid.

"But Violet has said not to let you do any work today,"

"I haven't done anything for the entire day but I have to start working and I know cleaning very well, so can I please clean his room. It will create a first good impression on him if he gets to know I have cleaned his room the very first day here," she described her point.

That old maid laughed at her naivety. She didn't even try to manipulate her words before saying them. How virtuous and pure hearted?

That maid caressed her pink cheek and then nodded.

"Okay let's go, I will guide and help you,"

She bobbed her head and immediately got up from the sofa. Too excited to clean his room and to show him her cleaning skills.

"Wow...you have really done an amazing job, Cia," that old maid complimented her by watching the entire room clean and completely stable and set.

She flashed her a smile while mopping the table.

"Okay, Mr Alcazar is going to be here soon. I will go and check if his evening coffee is ready or not. Okay?"

"Okay. I am coming too in a couple of minutes after getting done cleaning this last table," she answered.

That old maid nodded and then left from there.

She focused her attention back on that table and started rubbing it. After getting done with her work, she lifted her arm but felt a heavy sting in her elbow as it was still not completely healed.

She moved her elbow a little to surpass that pain and was about to leave when her eyes fell on his bed. His quilts and duvets were still a mess. How bad? He was 28 years old but still didn't know the basic manners of folding the quilts and making the bed after getting up from sleep. Yeah....she had found out about his age today from Violet. He was 10 years older than her. How old..

Zale entered the mansion and every staff member became alert. They all greeted him but he paid attention to none and that deep scowl on his face made everyone understand that he was in a really terrible mood. He was angry and that could result in very harmful things for anyone but luckily, he walked away from there and straight went to his room.

Today his anger was peaking at its high because once again his men failed to find any information about Celia Reyes. He was about to shoot all of his men who failed in their work of searching about her but only because of Richard, he halted who made him understand that they were doing their best but the security of Reyes's was very tight and was almost impossible to break. Only when Richard assured him that they were going to try harder next time, he left from that place before he started killing his own men.

He stepped inside his room and then opened his coat and threw it on the sofa. He loosened his collar and sleeves buttons and then sat on the bed.

Burying his face in his palm, he greeted his teeth in exasperation. When the heck was he going to find her and end her? When that game of hide and seek was going to end? He clutched his hair in frustration until he heard that slow and gentle snoring.

He took out his face from his palm and then tilted his head back to look at the owner of those snores and finally he lost his last inch of patience by watching his new maid sleeping on his bed.
