Get Me Married

Chapter 21: Eyes

A month later.

I finished the last book I was reading and kept it together with the others. I stared at the pile of books and smiled at myself. I did an amazing job on finishing the books and in such a short time. I had over 30 novels piled up against each other and I finished it in a month time.

But then again, I was completely jobless and useless in that house so it wasn’t something special.

I yawned and my stomach grumbled after wards. It was time for lunch and I was so looking forward to it because Margaret had told me they were going to make a french dish all through out that day. When I was at Paris, the french dishes I tasted were heavenly and I didn’t mind having more of it for a week. I stood up from the bed and walked out of my room. I went downstairs just in time because the food was being placed on the dinning when I arrived and I couldn’t help but shrieked like a child.

The maids stared at me and grinned widely at my outburst.

“You look happy ma’am” Anna said and I smiled at her.

“shouldn’t I be happy?” I asked and she shook her head violently.

“No, no…you should be always. I just want to pertake in your joy” she said and I smiled widely.

“Well I am happy because…..” I thought for a while to think of the reason I would be happy but I couldn’t come up with anything

“I don’t really know” I said and took my sit.

“Anna leave the master’s wife alone, we have more job in the kitchen” Margaret said to her and she pouted and walked away.

I chuckled at her and my stomach grumbled again. I quickly turned to the food in front of me. I stood up and dished out my food.

“Ma’am, let me do that” One of the maids said quickly and walked towards me.

“Don’t bother yourself, I am really famished” I said.

“The master won’t like you doing that yourself ma’am” she protested and I rolled my eyes.

“He doesn’t care about the things I do, more over he isn’t home” I said ignoring her protest.

Of course I knew he wasn’t home that was exactly why I came down for lunch.

I always had breakfast and dinner in my room because I knew that he was always at home during those time but once it was noon I was always downstairs.

“Ma’am he is…..

“You really love daring me don’t you?” Jordan’s voice was the next thing I had and I became frozen at that spot. The maid who was protesting looked at me apologetically before she turned away.

The sitting room became really quiet and I could suddenly perceive Jordan’s perfume all over me.

Jordan was good at being silent, so many times he had walked up to me from behind, I never saw him or heard his footstep behind. When his perfume enveloped me, I knew he was right behind me and that made me nervous.

The last time I had been close to him was the day I went over to the library. Jordan had caught me glancing through a book I realized I shouldn’t have touch and he almost skinned me alive for it.

I actually thought he would do that with how angry he was but he didn’t. He had ordered me to get out after staring at me for so long and I did that without hesitation. And I never showed my face to him since then. Knowing he was close again to me sent chills down my spine.
