Ouch! my ceo fiancé fell for his maid by Lisa alman novel Chapter 114

114- Date

Ashley Walters pov "I don’t understand, little one. Why did you call me here?" Marwick asked me while Keith was busy buttering a slice of bread for Sarah. No, I mean he was literally buttering, "Whoever this dude is, he deserves a kick somewhere special. Do you want me to do the honors?"

Oh, Marwick! My brother was violent, i

Aniya and Eve were done with breakfast early morning and had already left for work. While we, the late risers were having our late breakfasts.

"No. I can take care of that part, Marwick. Don’t worry." My tongue slipped making the people around me horrified by the notion. Justin looked funniest with his partially opened mouth in amazement. Man! My husband had got such kissable lips.

"No, Come on, people! I didn’t mean that! Urgh!" I rolled my eyes and was about to rise to my feet when Justin made me sit back.

"Ok. So, what do you propose?" Justin asked me, moving my hair back from my shoulders, "Technically when we got married you were not even a student." "I think Ashley does have a point," Sarah interrupted, "For Dean’s position, you never submitted a marriage certificate, Justin. When you got her admitted, Mr. Matt took her documents that never had a Deluca sir name. Nowhere, any document stated that her status is married not single. In her resentment towards you, she filled that section as single. So," she took a bite of her bread, "you need to work on it." "What if..." Marwick leaned forward, propping his elbows on the table. He looked straight towards Justin, "you present yourself in front of the board of directors." "Even if I do, they will be needing someone for the position to process the inquiry." While explaining this, I could feel Justin's thumb slowly circling the nape of my neck.

"So, how should I help you in this, little one?” Marwick asked me in that sweetest tone.

"Become the Dean!” I said like I was telling him about the weather.

"WHAT?" there were three more voices apart from Marwick's.

'You must be kidding!" he chuckled and then got serious when I kept looking at him with a raised eyebrow, "Oh, you are serious!"

He went quiet after that.

"What? Is there a problem?" I didn't want to back off.

"No, I am just thinking. My sister asked me for something... for the first time and I don't know how to tell you no." "Why?" "He has got a flight next week. He needs to go to find his wife. He is told that his wife might be in Africa." Sarah explained to me.

"Oh!" I nodded. I didn’t know what his marriage story was, and I needed to ask him sometime later. But right now, I needed a candidate for Dean's position to fill in just for a few weeks.

"It seems my wife is more worried than me about my position and reputation." I heard Justin’s amused voice beside me, but instead of responding to him, I kept thinking.

'Thank God, I am not involved in a fancy business otherwise I might be worried like hell. Property business is ideal for a man like me," Keith opened the strawberry jam bottle, "Honey. You were craving something sweet last night."

Without waiting for an answer, he started spreading jam on a bread slice. He must have felt several pairs of eyes watching him because he stopped, placed the butter knife on the table, and looked up.

"What?"

None of us said anything to him. By now I was sure I had that silly grin on my face.

"Why are you all looking at me like this? Sarah?" I must admit, Sarah was staring at him like he had developed two horns on his head.

"Have you guys turned into zombies? Ashley! Why are you smiling? What’s so funny? Is there anything on my face?" he tried to bring some fear in his voice and then was about to pick that knife up when we heard him again, " Stop it!”

This time he was avoiding eye contact with any of us.

"Come on! What is your problem?" This time he almost tossed the knife on the table.

"Keith," I murmured with a smile, "Congratulations!" "For fu*cking what?" he snapped. Gosh! I liked him already. My soon-to-be brother-in-law. Right?

"For fu*cking becoming the next Dean of Arguli university!" I said with a straight face. 1

'You look so beautiful, Ash!" Aniya complimented me with wet eyes. I had packed my stuff and was ready to shift to the University Dean's residency. After all, no matter if Marwick becomes the Dean or Keith gets the position.

None of them would throw me out of that house. It was the ideal place to get to know my newly found siblings.

"I think we need to find a place for ourselves," Eve said while fixing my hair while back combing.
