The next morning-
"Saph can you please take this to Sir's room? He will be up in a few minutes!"
Said one of my co worker in a very polite tone
"Sure"
I held the tray in my hands and made my way towards his room
I knocked on his door but there was no reply
What should I do??
Leave or enter??
But she said he is going to wake up in a few minutes
I pushed the door open slowly to make sure there is no creaking sound
He was peacefully sleeping on the bed
His spectacle still on and his laptop lying next to him.
He worked so hard
Managing conglomerate and concentric businesses requires skill ,patience and perseverance and I always knew he had it in him.
Even though he was offered everything on a golden platter since birth still he worked hard to grow and globalize his fathers empire instead of demolishing it.
I placed the tray on his side table and stood next to him staring at his beautiful face.
My hands twitched to touch him, to wake him up just like I used to do back then
But I knew I lost that right long ago
I gently removed his spectacles and placed them on the side table followed by his laptop.
I turned around to leave but
when I opened the door it accidentally made a loud noise.
I hoped it didn't wake him up but my hope died the next second
"Why were you here?"
I turned around to face him
"Andro...I came..-"
"What is your position here in this house miss Sapphire Brown?"
"A ...maid..'
I replied in a low voice
"So who the hell give you the right to call me Andro?
I am sir to you just like I am to everyone else here!"
I flinched under his high tone
"I ...am Sorry...Sir"
It felt so weird to call him that but it also made clear his relation with me
That of a boss and a mere servant
"So..Why are you here?"
".Your ..morning..Tea...Sir"
He looked at the tray next to him
I stood there looking at my flats waiting for his next command.
"I am having a special guest for next few days, make all the necessary arrangements ,she is special so no mistakes will be tolerated, make sure her demands are satisfied...Also clean up the other side of my wardrobe as she will be staying here in my room with me"
On hearing this I looked up immediately to see him busy on his phone.
He didn't even looked at me to see how this new found information affecting me.
He was not lying when he said he found my replacement
I felt envious of her even before seeing her.
And why wouldn't I when she had the only thing I wanted
Him
I managed to reply in a broken voice
"Ok..ay.....Sir"
I marched out of the room at full speed not able accept the truth that he had actually moved on in life.
I reached the kitchen and told Maria about the arrival of our new guest
"Aah that must be Miss Andrea Stone....I really missed her...she Is coming after so long..... I am so excited!! Let's hurry up and start the preparations!!
We have to cook her favourite food...Roses...she loves Roses we need to order bouquet of roses.....Ari you go and order them.....and remove hazelnuts from the kitchen ..she is allergic to it...hurry everyone.."
