Chapter 5: 22 degree Celsius
my Saph died the day she betrayed me.."
His harsh words stabbed my wounded heart.
I was left there in the room unable to believe his words.
I knew that he hated me but to this extent that he considered me dead was something which made me
loose the control I tried building these 2 long years.
It's normal to loose control
But for me it was a curse
A curse in the form of an anxiety attack
which is the worst feeling in this world.
The feeling of not being able to breathe.
I have had them since I was 15 years old.
But they stopped when he came.
He knew about them and his touch was alone to calm my heart and return my breath.
Without him I was on my own.
And now when he disgusts my touch I have to rely on the bottle of medicine lying in my bag.
I frantically searched for the white bottle in my bag and on finding it I didn't waste a second and gulp
the tablet with water.
I seated myself on the sofa behind and within few minutes my breathing returned to normal.
Control yourself Sapphire , he was lying ,don't trust his words
He still cares for you
He surely does
After feeling normal I returned to the hall determined to get this job.
I got there just in time as I was next.
Maria looked at me from head to toe
At last her gaze fixed at my eyes as she asked
"What all do you know ?"
"Everything from sewing a button to managing a company, from a plumbers chore to a mechanics
technicalities...I have experience in all spheres of life ,ma'am you name it and I have most probably
done it."
I left the part of me not knowing to use a computer. As I hoped my job will not require that skill.
She raised her eyebrow surprised of my reply
"Sir Alessandro 's bathrooms shower is not working, let’s see if you can fix it.
If you succeed you are hired"
I nodded and asked her to supply me the tools required.
With hands full of plumbers equipment I entered Andro's room
I thought he must have left till now but as I entered his broad back came into my view.
He was engrossed in talking to someone on his phone and was oblivious of my presence.
Without interrupting him I entered the thousand dollar bathroom .
I turned the shower on but it didn't work as it should.
The water was flowing like it was running from a tap and not from a shower.
It lacked pressure
If you get what I mean
Using my tools I opened up the nuts and looked for a default.
Sludge blocked the water pipe
Clearing it I fixed back just the way it was.
I also applied sealing clay to stop the leakages.
Once I was done
I turned around the knob and at that same second the bathroom door closed with a thud.
A looked up to see Ando's cold eyes staring at me.
The shower started working and I was hit with it's cold water .
I shrieked and landed inside the bath tub.
It started raining over me and I held my hands in front of the shower to stop it.
Suddenly the water stopped.
I looked up to see Andro's angry eyes set on me and his one hand holding the shower knob.
I was all wet and to make it more embarrassing I was wearing a white blouse and black
undergarments.
I placed my hands in front of me trying to hide them.
His eyes didn't left mine even for a second.
"What the hell are you doing in my bathroom?
Out of 100 others you have to come here only?
Get out of here!!"
I lifted myself up but refused to leave
How could I leave like this
There are so many male workers here.
I can't leave like this
"I said leave Sapphire!!"
"B.....u.t I can't ....go....ou..t l.ike ..this"
I said not meeting his gaze.
He stepped towards me and I stepped back
My back hit the door but he kept coming my way.
I was trapped with both his arms on my either side and his eyes still staring at me
"Look at me!!"
He ordered making me look up into his beautiful grey eyes
"Look deep into my eyes ,does it look like I care??"
Coldness was the only thing I saw
No this was not my Andro,he respected women more than anything
He can't be him unless...
I made him this....
I lifted my face up to stop the tear that were going to betray me.
I will not cry in front of him again.
I felt a tug on my arm
Next I was pushed out of the bathroom and he slammed the door shut on my face.
The tears I controlled now flowed freely mingling with the water droplets on my face.
I hugged myself tighter unable to think of a solution.
Miss Maria entered and when she looked at me she had a amused look on her face.
She handed me a maid's outfit and asked me to change right now.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
I thanked her unable to say much.
The outfit was not at all comfortable.
First it reached mid thighs which was normal but I have long stopped wearing tight fitting,body clinging
short dresses since the day he left me.
I starting hating myself after that
I didn't wanted to look beautiful as I thought no matter what I wore my ugly inside will still remain the
same
I now preferred loose fitting baggy clothes which did not seeked attention.
Belle flats were the favourite part of the outfit.
Comfortable just like I preferred.
Maria started distributing duties to everyone.
I was asked to clean all the bedrooms along with 2 other helpers from next day onwards.
