Chapter 3 Beginning of misery

Matt remain standing as the old man started telling him his duties in the house and he only nodded in response to this new rude boss.  "So you can begin with your duties immediately but first the maid would show you to your room so you could drop your bags and begin with your work immediately." Mr. Walter said, "Yes, sir it's understood." Matt managed to answer. "Ok, one more thing, I don't tolerate a lazy worker, so you have to be active at every given time if you want to continue working in my house." Mr. Walker said, "Ok sir, it's understood," Matt replied, and Mr. Walter called a maid and ask her to take him to his room. "Come with me." The maid said leading the way as Matt followed behind her. He was a little upset about the fact that Mr. Walter just told him how much of a low life he was but he couldn't help but kept glancing at the beautiful house as they continued walking. He was a little relieved seeing the house and the sadness in his heart slowly disappeared as he walked in. The maid stopped right in front of a room and opened the door with a key. "Come in," the maid said and walked into the room.  Matt also walked into the room and the maid handed over the keys to him. " Here is your room, so just drop your luggage and got and resume immediately with your duties as the boss said earlier." The maid advised, and turned to leave. "Wait." He stopped her and she turned back to him. "What now?" She asked. "Is the boss always that rude towards his workers?" He asked. "You haven't seen anything yet and you are already complaining, I will only advice you if you don't want to see how rude he can be you would drop your luggage immediately and get down there to start working immediately, and as for me I don't want to see his rude side, so I'm off now." The maid said, and turned around and started walking away.  Matt sighed and walked over to his closet and quickly flipped it open and drop his luggage in. He took off his clothes and change into something more suitable for work before walking out of his bedroom. First of all, he needs to do a good cleaning on the house because it was dusty, no wonder Mr. Walter told him to get to work immediately. He sighed and started to find his way around the house. He met the maid again in the kitchen while just walking around and stood in front of her.  "Please I'm so sorry to disturb you but I don't know my way around, I need some direction here, please I need your help with that." He told her. "Ok, it's fine I will help you out since I'm less busy though." She said, "Alright, thanks." Matt smiled and they both started walking out. The maid started showing Matt around the house and where setting things were kept in the house and also show him where the dogs were. But he can't start cleaning the house immediately because he has to first know his way around. After the maid has shown him all he needed to see, she returned to the kitchen to start making dinner while he also picked up a bucket and mop and started cleaning the house. He started from the kitchen and cleaned it down to the kitchen before proceeding to the rooms. He started cleaning the rooms one after the other until he was finally done cleaning.  After cleaning he went back to the kitchen and took the dogs which the cook has already set aside for him. She show it to him immediately he walked into the kitchen and he mouthed a 'thank you before walking out of the kitchen.   While cleaning the words of the master kept resounding in his head. He likes everywhere sparkling clean? That wasn't his duty. He had gone there as the housekeeper, he should be the head of the labourers. But here he was cleaning like his life depends on it. What choice does he have? He just couldn't bare the thought of returning to the his mother without nothing to show for it.

Matt went straight to where the cook Ann has shown him earlier and immediately he saw the dogs he gasped seeing how huge they were and he was also so scared. He thought of going back and not feeding them but he knew that would make him receive some mean words from Mr. Walter and he doesn't want that to happen. He stood there for a while and finally summoned the courage and went closer to the dogs. He succeeded in feeding them dogs that evening too without anything before they all retired back to his room for the night. Very early the next morning he woke up and rushed into his restroom to ease himself and brushed his teeth before changing into something more suitable for work before walking out of his room. He grabbed the mop and bucket and started again with his daily routine of cleaning the entire house. He was done cleaning after a few hours of cleaning the huge house and he returned the mop and bucket to the bathroom and washed them up before keeping them. He went back to his room and heard straight to his bathroom. After bathing, he walked over to the kitchen and took the dog's food, and went to feed them immediately.

After he had walked in the house for a few weeks without getting into any trouble with his boss. His boss called all his workers in the evening after dinner, and they were all gathered in the sitting room. They were just three anyway but Mr Walter like to act like the entire planet works for him. Mr. Walker walked into their midst and had his seat. He told them that he was traveling and he would bring send someone else who would come and watch over his house in his absence. They all nodded in agreement before he dismissed them. He got prepared the next morning and left for the airport. After waiting for about two days for the person that would be in charge in their boss's absence to come but didn't see anyone.   One morning, Matt was done feeding the dogs so he started walking back into the house but he met someone else, a beautiful woman he couldn't explain. She was dressed like a cowgirl with nice shoes and blue denim jeans. With his mouth ajar, all he could think was " who is this woman?"
