"What!!"

_______________

Her mother rushed to her immediately, touched her face fondly. 

"My baby, how did it happen?" Mrs. Jones asked, causing Tiara to explain everything to them. 

"Oh my goodness, the man is so wicked, oh my poor Tiara!" Her mother pulled her into a tight hug, and her father also joined in. 

"It's okay, Tiara" Mr. Jones said, and Tiara nodded. They broke the hug, and Tiara was about to say something when Terry burst in.

"Wow! Sis, what are you doing here by this time?" he asked, but when his eyes caught Tiara's face stained with cake, he burst into laughter, and Tiara glared at him. 

She quickly went to him, grabbing his ear, and he winced painfully. 

"Ahhh, sissy, my ear...ouch!!" He screamed.

"Enough, kids. And you, Terry, why are you here at this time?" Mr. Jones asked. 

"Fire alarm" Terry said, and the couple raised an eyebrow, same with Tiara. 

"Tskk, I mean the fire alarm sounded, and we were asked to go home" he explained. 

"Oh my, what happened? Why was there a fire alarm?" Mrs. Jones asked worriedly.

"It was faulty, and we were almost home when the school sent a notification on the platform saying the fire alarm didn't sound because of a fire, it was because it's faulty" he said. 

"Ohhh, I see" Tiara said. 

"Mom, I'm hungry" Terry said, rubbing his stomach. 

"Such a foodie, better go attend to the customers" Mr. Jones said, focusing back on the food he was cooking.

"Don't mind your father, come on, come take these pancakes" Mr. Jones said taking a plate of pancakes to give Terry, and Terry quickly rushed to take them, and Tiara frowned. 

She was about to talk when she remembered she wanted to tell them about something. 

"Mom, Dad" she called, picking at her nails. 

"Want to say something, darling?" Mr. Jones asked. 

"Hmm, is there a problem?" Mrs. Jones asked.

"I saw a job application, and I want to apply, and..." She said, taking the flier out of her bag and showing it to her parents. 

"A maid? I can't allow my daughter to be a maid" Mrs. Jones said stubbornly. 

"Mom, the amount is quite good, I can even open a shop with this" Tiara tried explaining.

"It's still a no, Tiara, I can never allow you to be a maid, never. I will go attend to the customers" Mrs. Jones said before walking out of the kitchen, and Tiara sighed. 

"Dad" she called. 

"In as much as I want the best for you, but I'm sorry, Tiara, this is a no for me. You will find a good job later on" Mr. Jones said, returning the flier to her before focusing on the food.

"Sorry, big sis, I guess you are sacked, but don't worry, it's a yes for me, a maid job suits you better for real" Terry said mockingly before running out, and Tiara ran after him. 

"You douche!! Come back here!" She screamed after him.

~THE PENTHOUSE~

Lucas's car drove in and stopped, and the guards quickly rushed to the car. One of them opened the back door, and Lucas stepped out, sliding his hand into his pants pocket. The guards greeted him respectfully. 

He started walking towards the penthouse, followed by Robert, while the driver found a place to park the car.

The penthouse was the epitome of luxury and beauty, with a gleaming glass and steel exterior that exuded wealth and sophistication. Perched atop a high-rise building, it offered breathtaking views of the city from its expansive private terrace, perfectly manicured with lush greenery and stylish outdoor furnishings. 

The penthouse sparkled in the daylight, its sleek lines and modern design gleaming with sophistication. 

They reached the door, and the guards opened it, bowing respectfully. Lucas and Robert walked inside the penthouse. Upon entering the living room, the sense of luxury and sophistication was immediate. 

The stunning city views unfolding through the floor-to-ceiling windows seemed to stretch on forever. Sleek, modern furnishings, including a plush sectional sofa and chic armchairs, were arranged with precision to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. 

A statement light fixture above the coffee table added a touch of glamour, while the rich texture of the marble flooring exuded opulence. Every detail, from the subtle pattern on the rug to the elegant artwork adorning the walls, contributed to a sense of refined elegance, making this living room the perfect space to relax, entertain, or simply take in the breathtaking views.

His father, Mr. Ross, was sitting elegantly on the sofa with his legs crossed, holding a newspaper and wearing glasses. Despite his old age, he still looked handsome, and the resemblance between him and Lucas was noticeable. He had an intimidating cold aura. His stepmother ran to him with a warm, or rather fake, smile. 

"Oh, my Lucas, you didn't tell me you were coming today, I would have asked the maid to..." She was still talking when Lucas interrupted her.

"Stop acting that way, it's creepy" he said hoarsely with a smirk, staring at her with his usual cold expression.

"She is your mother, Lucas, show some respect" Mr. Ross said sternly.

"I don't think you have the right to command me, old man, and point of correction, she is my stepmother" Lucas fired back before finding a place to sit.

His stepmother glared at him secretly before sitting down beside his father. 

"Sit down, Lu...." His father was talking, but Lucas cut him short.

"You don't need to tell me, I was about to do that" he said before sitting down on the sofa, while Robert stood by his side.

"Why am I here?" Lucas asked, uninterested in why his father had called him.

"How is your company?" Mr. Ross asked.

"Stop asking unnecessary questions, old man, just tell me why I'm here" Lucas said firmly, and his father sighed.

"Do you know Evelyn?" Mr. Ross asked, but Lucas didn't reply.

"Answer me, young man!" Mr. Ross demanded angrily.

"Cut to the chase, old man" Lucas said in the same tone.

"You two are getting engaged when she returns to California in three months time" Mr. Ross said, and Lucas chuckled darkly.

"Yes, Lucas, she is beautiful and respectful, I think you would like her" his stepmother, Ava, said.

"Tell your son to get engaged to her not me,woman!" Lucas said, glaring at her before standing up. He was about to leave with Robert when his father spoke up.

"You must get engaged to her, no matter what, Lucas. That's final" Mr. Ross said, but Lucas ignored him and walked out with Robert.

"Honey, it's okay, he will obey" Ava said, but Mr. Ross didn't answer, he only continued reading the newspaper while Ava rolled her eyes.

*Night*

JONES APARTMENT

The family can be seen settled in the dining room, eating. 

"Wow, mom, you're a great cook" Terry said, munching on a chicken lap, and his mother stroked his hair fondly.

"Thanks, son" she replied. 

"Tiara, are you enjoying the food?" she asked, and Tiara only nodded.

"Mom, about that thing, can I still apply? Mom, I really don't want to stay home, it's a golden opportunity, and I..." Tiara was still talking when her mother interrupted.

"Enough, Tiara, like I said earlier, it's still a no" her mother fired, and Tiara burst into tears before storming out of the dining room.

"Don't be too harsh, mom" Terry said.

"Shut up and eat" Mrs. Jones said, and Terry shrugged before continuing to eat.

"He's right, honey, don't be too harsh on her" Mr. Jones said, and Mrs. Jones sighed.

"I don't just want my child to be a maid, I want her to work in a good place where she deserves respect" Mrs. Jones said sadly, and Mr. Jones held her hand under the table.

"I don't want her to do the job too, but when I figured everything out, I think it's best we let her do what her heart wants" he said, and Mrs. Jones nodded in agreement.

"So, you mean Tiara is free to work as a maid? Yay, maid Tiara!" Terry said, spranging up from his seat. He ran out of the dining room straight to Tiara's room.

*TIARA'S ROOM*

Low sound of cries can be heard inside the blue-designed cozy room, she loves the blue color so much.

"I hate them all" she mumbled tearfully, but was interrupted by the ringing of her phone. The screen showed Rita's name, and she picked it up.

📱Tiara: Hey Rita

📱Rita: How are you doing, Tiara? And why does your voice sound like that? Did you cry?

📱Tiara: I'm fine; it's nothing.

📱Rita: Are you sure? Please don't cry, okay.

📱Tiara: Okay, but hey, do you know Lucas Ross?

📱Rita: Of course, why not? My crush, he's so handsome, hot, sweet...

📱Tiara: Enough; just tell me, is he bad or good? And tell me his age and blah blah...

📱Rita: Okay, okay, he's 25 years old, has a twin sister called Lucina, and has a cold personality. I heard he's not that friendly, but still, he's my crush. But why are you asking if I may know?

📱Tiara: I want to apply as a maid in his mansion, but mom and dad are against it, saying they want the best for me and can't allow me to become a maid...

📱Rita: Oh no, I heard the money is quite much. So, what should we do now... they're going to pay you $20,000.

📱Tiara: Huh? I thought I saw $2000.

📱Rita: That's a fake one, it's $20,000, Tiara.

📱Tiara: It's quite much.

📱Rita: Yeah, sorry, Tiara, I will call you tomorrow. Bye, baby, sleep well.

📱Tiara: You too bye.

"$20,000, I must find a way to convince mom and dad" she muttered dropping the phone back to where it was. Not too long after, Terry burst in, and Tiara frowned.

"What do you want?" she asked.

"Guess what" Terry asked.

"What?" Tiara asked back.

"Just guess, sissy" he said with an eye roll.

"You impregnated a girl" Tiara said, causing Terry to glare at her.

"Dumb guess. Anyway, mom and dad said you are free to work as a maid" he announced, and Tiara jumped down from the bed.

"Tell me it's a lie" she asked, trying to be sure of what he said.

"Yeah, it's the truth, but since you said I should tell you it's a lie, then fine, it's a lie" Terry said with a smirk.

"So it's real? Oh my gosh, mom! Dad!" she screamed, running out of her room.

"How can someone be happy to be a maid?" Terry said, stroking his imaginary beard.

OUTSIDE THE ROOM, 

Tiara ran to her parents, who were about to enter their room. She ran to them, hugging them tightly. She broke the hug and smiled widely.

"Mom, Dad, is it true?" she asked.

"Yeah, baby, you are free to work as whatever you want, okay?" Mr. Jones said.

"Yeah, darling, you are free" Mrs. Jones said too.

"Thanks, Mom and Dad. Love you" Tiara said, jumping happily before hugging them again, and her parents smiled.

~NEXT MORNING~9AM

**LUCAS MANSION**

A taxi stopped in front of the mansion, and Tiara got out of it. She was wearing jeans pants and a blue flowery shirt, accompanied by blue sneakers. Her brown hair was packed in a ponytail, making her pretty face more visible. She was carrying a blue handbag on her shoulder.

She gasped at the exterior of the mansion. She walked to the gate, and the guards that were there gave her questioning looks. 

"I want to apply as a maid" she said softly, and they nodded.

The gold-tipped gates swung open, revealing a majestic stone driveway that winds its way to the estate's grand entrance. A soft glow emanates from the subtle landscape lighting, highlighting the meticulously manicured hedges and vibrant flowers. As she approached the entrance, a stunning waterfall and infinity pool come into view, creating a soothing melody and a sense of serenity.

The modern façade, with its clean lines and expansive glass windows, exudes luxury and sophistication. The entrance itself is a statement piece, with a sleek glass door and precision-crafted metal details that seem to shimmer in the light. The perfect blend of modern style and natural beauty, the mansion or rather, the estate, is a true masterpiece.

"Oh my geez, I'm in heaven" she muttered in awe. She saw some ladies like her going inside the mansion and she presumed they were the other applicants for the maid position, she was still checking out the exterior of the mansion, when she bumped into a body, which jolted her out of trance, she turned to see who she had bumped into and her heart skipped a beat, only to see a handsome demigod. His black, shining hair fell on his face, and he wore a stud earring on his left ear. He wore grey sweatpants and a sweatshirt. His green eyes, pointed nose, and tempting red lips... smooth skin...

"How can a human be this handsome?' she thought, drooling hard on him.

"Watch where you're going next time" Lucas said with his cold, soft voice, snapping her out of her thoughts before walking past her. She bit her lip cutely, still staring at his back. Then, she was interrupted by a voice and turned to see a handsome guy,  her brain strucked immediately like she knew him from somewhere then she remembered she met him at the baking shop yesterday. 

"Miss, aren't you the one from the baking shop yesterday?" Robert asked. 

"Oh yeah, I am" Tiara replied with a smile. 

"If I may guess, you're here for the maid application?" he said, and Tiara nodded. 

"Okay, then follow me" he gestured, entering the mansion, and Tiara followed suit. She gasped at the interior of the house.

The living room was a warm and inviting space, with a plush sectional sofa and chic armchairs arranged in a conversational circle. The walls were painted a soft, creamy color and adorned with elegant artwork, while the floors were made of rich, dark hardwood. A stunning stone fireplace dominated one wall, and a floor-to-ceiling window offered breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. The room was illuminated by a combination of table lamps and a stylish chandelier, casting a warm and welcoming glow over the entire space.

She saw the ladies she had seen earlier standing and was shocked to see the guy she had bumped into sitting on the sofa with a beautiful white pet dog on his lap. She joined the ladies, standing frozen in shock. Lucas wasn't even looking at them,  his eyes were fixed on his phone. 

"Boss, they're all here" Robert said, and Lucas nodded looking up.

"Don't tell me he's Lucas Ross" she thought, her eyes widening in shock.
