I guess he was about to take his shower. I said good Morning Sir, feeling shy not looking at his face. I went over and placed the soup on the nightstand, sir anything else.
Still not looking at his face, he slowly walk over to me. Look at me he said, he lift my chin up, i look at him. Our eyes met gazing at each others face, he pull me to his body, our bodies were touching.
He softly whisper in to my ear, how many time should i have to tell you not to call me sir. He said, just call me Nick, then he kiss my check, say it he. I said his name and run out of his room blushing all over my face.
My face was totally red, my heart was beating fast. i think i'm falling for Nick, oh my God he makes me weak when he touch me. That's Nick also feel the same way i'm feeling or he is just flirting with me.
Are you out of your mind Tara, how can a rich guy fall in love with a maid. I also forget Nick did not remember what happen last night, "Thank God".
I went to the kitchen to finished washing the plates, when i heard the doorbell. I wipes my hands dry, walked through the hall way to the door. I opened it.
"Hi, please may i help you."
"Hi i'm Max, Nick's friend."
"Oh please sorry, please come in."
TARA P.o.v
He entered, and i close the door, we walked to the living area. Please have a sit, i will let him know you are here.
"Oh it okay, he already knows, i'm here."
"Oh okay, Please what can i get you."
"Anything soft."
"Okay i will be right back i said."
I came to the kitchen, took a bottle of juice and two glasses on a tray. And went back to the living room, Nick was already with his friend. I placed it down on the table in front of them.
"Thanks, um....may i know your name."
"I'm Tara sir."
"Okay, i'm Max."
Nick was just seating there smile when i heard Rose shouting my name.
"Tara!!!."
"Yes!! Ms Rose, i quickly run towards her."
She came and stood in front of me and slaps me very had on the face, i fell on the ground .
"Why didn't you clean my shoes. "
"I was crying from the slap, i can't even say anything. She was about to slap me again, when someone held her hand."
Nick P.o.v.
Max and i were talking when we heard Tara shouting on top of her voice. We rush there, when Rose was about to hit her again in the face when Max help Tara up.
The poor girl face was red and swollen, "What going on here Rose!!!. i asked her.
"I asked her to clean my shoes when going out, but when i came back the shoes are still unclean Rose said."
"Rose, but what right do you have to slap her this way."
"She is a maid, and this is how a maid is treated. When she do not do her work well."
My blood was boiling, "Rose this will be your last time you will lay your hands on her again."
We walk Tara to the kitchen to give her ice pack for her face, Tara please take the day off i said to her. Max and i came back to the living room.
NICK P.O.V

"Thanks very much Olivia ."
Tara P.o.v
I was lying on my bed when someone knock on the door three times, i wonder who is its. Is not Olivia, she just left right now. I sat down on my bed, Yes come in please.
The door open and Nick entered.
"Sorry i wake you up."
"It okay i was not asleep."
"Are you okay he asked."
"I nodded my head i'm fine."
"He handed me some medicine."
"I went to the pharmacy to get you some pain reliever and oil to apply on your face."
"Oh... thank you so much Nick. I know by tomorrow everything will go down, thanks again."
"It okay, good night Tara."
"Good night Nick."
