Chapter 3 Mr grumpy

His crazy little maid Mending his broken heart

Chapter 3

" Your apology is worthless to me. I will make you pay for what you did to me" he growled In a low menacing tone.

" I did.." She stopped when she got Interrupted by Victor's voice, the next thing she heard made her mouth open and her eyes widened.

" You are fired!" He said. The maid who stood by the side shuddered as his words. Juliet couldn't believe her ears. A job she has managed to get her hands on, now she would have to say goodbye to it just because of him.

" You can't fire me besides you didn't hire me" she said pouting her lips as she confidently crossed her hands on her chest. He raised his brows and slightly shook his head.

" I own this house and whoever works In it obeys me. Now what do you have to say?" He asked.

" You are cruel and wicked. I'm sure you won't be able to find love because of your attitude. I did nothing but yet you want to see me suffer. Fuck you and your house" she said with hot tears stinging her eyes but she made sure it didn't pour down her cheeks. She didn't want him to see her cry. She didn't want to see him having the satisfaction of seeing her break down and in the process making her look weak.

Victor stood there shocked by her words. He was expecting her to plead to him, to tamper Justice with mercy but none came instead here she is telling him he won't find 'love' . Fuck love.

" Get out!" He said angrily.

" I regret nothing of what I did and if I had the chance I would have done more because you are a stupid scoundrel" she said almost yelling. Juliet wanted to say more things to him but because she couldn't hold back her tears, she quickly ran away. That was her last hope in getting money for her mother's treatment.

Juliet immediately got her things and left the mansion. Still walking away, her phone rang and staring at the caller ID, she found out that it was the hospital calling. She thought of the possible news they would give to her and in each one, she hoped and prayed it would be a good news.

" Hello, doc" she said

"I need to talk to you about something very important and it can't be said over the phone.Can you drop by the hospital, it's about your mother" the doctor said. At his words, her heart raced. All she could do at the moment was to pray that nothing should happen to her mother.

" Yes doc. I'll be there as soon as possible" On reaching the hospital, she ran to the ward her mother was kept. Standing a few feet away from her mother was the doctor who was doing a routine check on her.

Sighting her, he hung his stethoscope around his neck.

" What happened to her?" Juliet asked with her gaze fixed on her mother.

" Follow me" the doctor said walking towards the door. Juliet followed from behind nervously pinching her hand

" We really need to start operating on your mother or else we might lose her. You only have two weeks to raise the money" he spoke.

" Please do what you can to help her" she said as her eyes made a pleading look.

" I can't do anything now it's all up to you. You have to start depositing the money before we can operate on her"

" How much is it?" Although the doctor had earlier told her the amount she still felt like she needed to hear it. With a sigh leaving his lips, he said.

"600,000$" he said and at this point Juliet felt like collapsing. She didn't know where to get her hands on such money. A nurse ran to meet them.

" Doctor we need your attention"immediately she delivered the message she ran in the direction from which she came from. The doctor followed suite leaving Juliet who was literally breaking down. She returned to her mother's ward and sat down there with her.

Staring at her mother brought more tears to her. She sat there until night came.

**

Victor who was still furious at Juliet's word wasn't able to get any rest. He kept rolling and tossing on the bed waiting for sleep to come take him but it didn't come. With his eyes on the ceiling he remembered the incident that happened earlier.

He had wanted to see her break down in front of him, to see her beg but none came. She was actually quite something. Picking up his car keys he headed to the garage where he parked his car.

" Sir are you leaving?" The driver asked but he didn't give an answer instead he stepped Into the car and drove out of the compound.

He went to the bar to get his mind off things. There at the bar he sat there quietly drinking himself to stupor.

Coming here seemed to only open old wounds for him. First was his mother who tried to talk him into getting a woman for a wife and now there was this girl he barely even knows telling him he wouldn't find love. Fuck love, he should have never fallen in love in the first place.

Love has never helped him infact it made him to be cold.

" Love sucks" he muttered taking up his glass and drinking it's content. He kept drinking but he was still in his senses.

" Fu*k you, Fu*k you,Fu*k everyone!" Juliet yelled in her drunken state as she made her way through the crowd and towards the table where victor was seating. Today she decided to get herself drunk as it felt like her world was crumbling down on her.

When she felt the stress was too much for her, she decided to have a drink but ended up getting drunk. Today was literally her worst day ever.

Staggering as she walked, she stopped when she stumbled into the arms of fine handsome man. Her Vision was blurry so she couldn't comprehend who it was.

Annoyed by the petite body that was on him, he attempted to push her off when he stopped to take a closer look at the girl and to his surprise, he found Juliet. The reason he was here.

"You?" He asked surprised. Juliet raised her head to only to find Victor's face. She wasn't sure if he was the one or it was just her imagination but all she knew was that she hates him.

" You look familiar. Like Mr grumpy" she spoke poking his face with her index finger.

"You know, I was Innocent but you... I hate you" she said and he felt a little sting in his heart.

" Get off me" he growled trying to get her away from him.

" Or what? Will you fire me? You have already done that" she muttered in her drunk state. " That job was my life and you took it away from me" Still speaking, he could hear her sobs which meant that the job really meant a lot to her but what did he care?

She stayed in that position and the only thing victor could do was to stare at her. He must admit that she was really pretty. Removing the strands of her hair on her face, he shook his head removing him from the trance he was in. With slow movements, she stood up but staggered back into his arms.

"You are drunk. You have to go home" he said but she shook her head. She stood up again and slowly made her way to the restroom.

His eyes followed her retreating figure but shifted to a man who was following her from behind. He was curious to know his motives. Standing up, he went in the direction they took.

On getting to where they were, he found him trying to force himself on her. He walked closer to them and landed the man a punch to the face making him fall. The man who was drunk laid there almost lifeless.

" Weak" he muttered staring at the man he had knocked down with just a punch to the face.

Juliet who was unaware of the happenings around her tried to move away but Victor's grip on her hand stopped her. He pulled her to himself making her head bump on his chest.

" You know you are handsome. Mr grumpy" she muttered wrapping her hands around him. " Where do you live?" He asked and she shrugged. Obviously it was useless talking to her in this state. Sighing, he thought of what to do when Steven ran to him.

" Juliet?" He called. He tried pulling her away but victor wrapped his hand around her waist in a protective way.

" Who are you?" He asked giving him an intense stare.

"I'm her friend" he innocently replied. Juliet had earlier called him and told him her location.

Still not believing him, he narrowed his eyes at him but when Juliet pushed herself away and went into his arms, his doubts cleared a bit.

" Steven. Where have you been?" She hugged him.

" I'm so sorry for this" he apologized and tried to make his way out of his presence.

" Your number" victor simply said gaining a confused look but when he brought out his phone, Steven understood. Steven called out his number while victor dialled it on his phone.

" Make sure she gets home safe" he said. He was still a bit confused why he was caring about her but he shrugged it off tagging it to be nothing.

" Juliet.... Wake up. Wake up " Steven called groggily shaking the sleeping Juliet.

Whispering in her ear, he felt her shiver. She shut her eyes open trying to adjust her eyes to the surrounding.

" What? Where am I?" She said sleepily.

" In my apartment. You got yourself drunk and I must say that was unlike you" he said sitting on the bed close to her.

" Its not my fault Last night in her drunk state, Juliet had narrated her experience to him and honestly speaking, he felt pity for her but in every dark tunnel there is always light.

" Just let me sleep"

" I can't because I have good news for you" he said and Juliet sat up waiting to hear the news.

" Well... There is a job application for a personal maid and I want you to attend the interview" he said wrapping his hands around her shoulder.

" Really?" Her face lit up with a smile. He nodded.

" Other than staying here and doing nothing, why don't you drink this coffee I got you and get ready for it" he said handing her a cup.

" Your coffee is horrible" she said.

" Well, at least I tried" he gave a light chuckle as he slightly shook his head.

He stood up and left the room after handing her the address. Minutes later, she got prepared.

" So how do I look" she said turning around showcasing her dress. She wore a pink flay gown that was to her knee level.

" Beautiful as always" he complimented. Juliet smiled and dashed out of the house and headed for the address Steven gave to her.

Standing in front of a huge company, Juliet gave a short prayer before going into the company there, she met a woman at the reception.

She was busy putting something down on a paper that she didn't notice her. She gave out a slight cough to attract her attention. She looked up before staring at the paper.

" What do you need?" She asked.

" Uhm I'm here for the job interview for a personal maid" she

The woman glanced at her. She could clearly see she was nervous. She gave a slight smile.

" Calm down young lady" she said

" Uhhm yes." she was fidgeting and it was evident.

If she is like this now, How would she be when she is being interviewed.

" Take a left you will see an elevator. Go to the sixth floor" she pointed to the direction using her pen.

" Okay thank you" she held her hand bag and got into the elevator and went to the sixth floor. There, she saw men and women sitting right outside the office. They were a lot of people. She slowly walked to them but stopped when a woman bumped Into her.

" Can't you see or are you blind?" The woman asked angrily. Glaring at the woman she made her way past her. Today, she didn't want anything or anyone to ruin her mood.

" Next" a woman in black suite and heels said but it seemed like none of them were willing to go in. They all had a sullen look.

Seeing that, she stepped forward and into the office. There, she met a tall handsome figure whose back was turned to her. Although she couldn't see his face she couldn't help ogling his figure.

" Stop staring and sit down" he said in a cold voice. She had her seat but her gaze was still on him.

" What can you do?" He asked with no emotions in his voice.

" I can clean, cook and make the best of coffees" she said with boldness stating everything she can do.

Turning around, the man had his seat and Juliet was shocked to see who it was.

" You?!" She said almost screaming her lungs out.
