In love with the housegirl - S01 E09

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 9

I couldn’t just stand and watch Mrs. Ola punish Anne for my sake. I had to do something…

“Please, let her go. I invited her. It’s my fault” I said, stepping outside.

“You what”? Mrs. Ola asked looking disgruntled and annoyed.

“Oh, I see. I see. Anne, go inside and wait for me” Mrs. Ola commanded and walked towards me. Anne gestured her hand at me, assuring me that everything will be fine.

“After disobeying me, you still went ahead and made that girl disobey me too? I promised to make your stay here a living hell if you corportated. But it seems you are the stubborn type” she said, looking at me right in my eyes

“But ma….”

“Shut up” Mrs. Ola said, landing me a dirty slap on the right side of my jaw. For a second, my vision darkened and I saw stars. I also heard a sharp noise in my ear. I couldn’t believe mrs. Ola could take things that far. I Ioked away from her from that moment. I just stared at the floor…

“You know whats up. When you are ready to give me what I want, you know where to find me” she said as she tuckled her long gown into her hands and marched away. The only person I felt pity for was myself for being born in the first place. “So this woman has the guts to lay her hands on me” I thought to myself in disbelief.

I cannot let this one go. I will get back at her. I didn’t know where to start but I was prepared for revenge.

I went about my chores that day, thinking about my dad…I thought about my mom too. She would have cried her eyes out. Telling her what I was going through in Mr. Johns house would give her early heart attack.

Later that day, Mr. John drove into the compound with a new lady.

“Jade, this is Shola, my wife’s sister. Mr. John grunted, presenting me to Shola…

“Nice to meet you ma. You are welcome” I said, offering a handshake.

“Thank you” she said as she shook my hand, giving me some weird looks. I carried her bag inti the room Mr. John showed me. Shola seemed to be having a good catch-up with her sister. They gisted and almost shouted the roof down. I went outside and started triming the grass hips when Mrs. Ola called me into the living room.

“Here is 1000naira. I want you to rush down the road and buy pads” she ordered, pointing the money towards me. I couldn’t believe she had the mind to humiliate me like this in front of the new lady.

“Hmm, Ola, don’t order mr. Handsome like that. Is he a gate man or an errand boy? Why don’t you just employ someone to run errands?” Shola asked looking suprised at her sister. I was shocked and suprised at Shola’s defense toward me….

“He’s a house help and a gateman too. Quit it…”

“Shisshh, cut that”…Shola interrupted.

“Go and buy it your self. Mom didn’t raise us to be this disrespectful. How can you send a man to get pads for you?” She added, looking disgusted at her sister. Then she turned to me with a beautiful smile…

“Jade, just go back to whatever you were doing, oh, Nnam” she said and whisked her eyebrows toward me, while chewing gum in an unethical way

I walked out, thanking my ancestors for saving me from that embarrassment, but I wondered why she defended me.
