K-Brothers And The Little Maid

Leigh-Ann’s POV

Carefully, I was guided down the stairs. I felt so nervous and was shaking already cause I wasn’t used to make-up and being dressed like this.

I kept staring at the floor and taking note of the stairs so I wouldn’t trip and fall off and finally when I looked up, I froze because of the different pairs of eyes that stared back at me.

Ace walked over. He was dressed in a black suit and red tie. He looked as handsome as ever. “Let’s go?” He asked and offered his hand.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

I gulped and managed a smile before placing my hand on his. He pecked it and I winced, almost withdrawing my hand.

We walked off and I couldn’t help dancing my eyes on the floor. I didn’t wanna look up cause Kael was there.

“We’re leaving Kael,” Ace said and stopped just before where Kael was standing.

“I give you two my blessings but don’t get her pregnant”

My heart skipped but it calmed when Ace laughed and led me off. Was that a compliment or advice, what was that? Before we reached where the car was, I turned back to look at Kael. Deep inside, I wished he looked at me differently, not like the ugly maid he used to call me.

I caught him carrying Alejandra in his arms as her laughter rang out. He walked off with her. He didn’t look concerned or bothered and I think Alejandra was right. He didn’t care if I went for dinner, he was okay with it.

“Is there any problem?” Ace called out, getting my attention.

“No, it’s… it’s fine, let’s go”

Shit, I just couldn’t help shaking. I felt I was gonna pass out any moment and Ace wasn’t helping. He kept checking on me every second.

“Are you sure you’re alright huh?” Ace asked and I looked up to hold his concerned gaze. I sighed and closed my eyes. Damn, I was nervous, and the way he kept asking if I was okay made it worse.

“I’m just so nervous. The truth is I’ve never been into this before. No dinner, no dates, no nothing”

“The fuck! Don’t tell me you don’t have a boyfriend” He asked. It sounded sarcastic to me. I frowned and stared down at my shaky hands on my thigh.

“I don’t” I replied curtly.

He chuckled but didn’t say more and I wished we could remain that way in the moving car. We hadn’t arrived yet.

“So, I guess you took that decision by choice cause no one would force you into not having a boyfriend”

I didn’t reply immediately but thought of it. As a maid, I wasn’t supposed to have a boyfriend right? To me, it sounded weird.

“Yeah, by choice” I responded dryly “And um… can we have dinner at Golden Hills?”

His forehead creased as he shot me a surprised stare. “You know Golden Hills?”

I nodded but shook my head almost immediately.

“No, I don’t. I’ve just um… heard about it on TV, your sister talks about how perfect it is”

Ace nodded then turned to face the tinted window and I heaved when he did that. At least his eyes were off me.

“We’re here Sir” The driver announced after some time and I felt my heart jump into the pit of my stomach.

The guard who sat in front opened the door for Ace and as Alejandra had taught me, I had to wait for Ace to help me down the car.

Ace came over and offered me his hand which I took and got down the car.

Suddenly, camera lights flashed on us, and just as it came as a shock, I almost used my hands to shield my eyes but I restricted myself.

Alejandra had taught me how to play in front of the camera even when I was uncomfortable. Ace offered his arm and I tugged mine in his then we walked off.

Camera lights still flashed at us and I did the simple magic. Shoulders up and chin down with a charming smile. Gosh, I was enjoying the moment.

The whole place was exquisite and was made of pure gold. I kept admiring the whole place and didn’t notice the eyes that had averted to us.

“Good Evening Sir and Madam. Am glad you’re here” A man in uniform greeted with a bow. “V. VIP’s Triple Star is this way” He added.

“No, thank you. We’ll stay at the Golden Star Hub” Ace said and the man bowed and led the way. We followed along with the guards who walked behind us.

Hmm… I was walking beside the President’s son! Ha!
