Sold to Mr. Arrogant novel Chapter 49

A hand was holding mine, I opened my eyes slowly and spotted the maid from yesterday. It seems that she slept from fatigue due to looking after me.

Looking after me? She was taking care of me. It is my first time being taken care of. This thought kept repeating itself in my mind again and again. I didn't want to wake her up by pulling my hand so I just admired her facial features as I waited for her to wake up. After a while, she woke up and yelled when she spotted my eyes wide open.

" Why did you shout?" I asked placing my hands on my ears from the sound.

" I am sorry... I was shocked, I am really sorry," she begged.

" Hey. Hey... No worries, I am not mad, I wanted to thank you for what you did."

" No need, I am just a mere maid, it’s my job." She replied.

I caressed her face and kissed her forehead. She flinched from my reaction but I could see a smile being drawn on her smooth lips.

" You are not a mere maid, you are the decision-maker of your life, a person who seeks happiness. A heroine of your own story, so repeat after me."

She nodded in agreement.

" I am..." I stopped midway as I recalled that I don’t know her name.

" Jessica."

" I am Jessica and I am the coolest person on earth, I shall look forward to my future and anticipate a good ending as I try to achieve my goal throughout my life," I instructed.

She repeated after me and I was happy that I make her smile.

" Thank you, Mrs...."

" Call me Lily." I cut her off ordering which made her blush.

" Rest here until I come back from the bathroom. You need to get some more sleep before you get to work."

I got up and headed to the bathroom, after passing my room's door, I located Shawn who was leaning on the wall next to my door crossing his arms.

" You are giving her false hope, don't make it any harder for her." he started.

" You are aware she can hear you from here, right?" I replied pointing out to my room.

" That's the point; kindness is a double-edged sword... make sure you don't use it in the wrong way." He added walking away.

He has a point but isn't he overreacting over such a small thing?

I suddenly remembered the kiss he gave me before I lose consciousness yesterday. My cheeks got red and I rushed to the bathroom, I washed my face and my mind went blank for a moment. My first kiss was taken away by a douchebag who thinks he is the center of the whole world. That is something that I should not have let happen, damn.

I went back to my room, wore tight jeans and a loose sweatshirt then went downstairs for breakfast.

" They said that you were sick yesterday," Gerald stated.

" I didn't feel well, I am fine now," I replied.
