keys are oily.”
“Got it.” That’s right, Min. Just play along. Being a Daniels’s maid will make everything else easier. Being Rich Boy’s maid? Even better!
“Next. The Young Master wakes up every morning at exactly nine. By nine-thirty, his breakfast must be in his bedroom. Sometimes, the Young Master eats in the dining room or the gardens. Let me show you the kitchen and then we’ll go to the second floor.”
Bunion led Mina into the kitchen at the end of the hallway.
Mina wondered if the Daniels had imported a kitchen from a five-star hotel. The large walk-in stainless steel refrigerator in the center of the kitchen could house a small family, Mina mused. Bigger than an igloo!
Busy chefs hustled around the kitchen as if they were late in preparing a feast for a royal family. Bunion whistled as he popped a ripe strawberry into his mouth. He introduced Mina to the other employees. Then he handed Mina a heavy platter.
“ Every morning, make sure the platter is complete with coffee, grapefruit juice, bird’s nest congee, brown sugar on sliced avocado and honey on toast. Check, check, and check. Got it?”
Mina thought all the food on the platter seemed too delicate for a young man. Maybe she should taste-test the food for him first. She licked her lips. “I got it.”
“The agency had said you were the best of the best. The Young Master may be picky, but I’m sure you’ll do a fine job. I can tell because you even brought your own uniform.” Bunion winked.
Mina grinned. Lady Luck finally liked her. “Just how picky is Jaiden?”
Bunion waggled his finger. “You must address him as your Young Master .”
You’re kidding right , Mina wanted to say.
“Let’s just say you’re the tenth maid hired for him this year.” Bunion sighed before he became expressionless. “Do you have any other questions?”
Nose twitching, Mina beamed. “Since I’m a professional maid, I have no questions.” She covered the platter with a lid before balancing it on her arms, marching out of the kitchen behind Bunion.
I’m a pro-maid, thanks to all the pro-bono maid training I get at home.
“Let’s go upstairs then,” Bunion said.
At the top of the spiraling stairway, Mina stepped onto a long hallway, her feet sinking into plush royal blue carpeting. Water flowed down the stone walls—waterfall walls. Mina arched her neck up and looked at the ceiling, a holographic projection displaying the real-time sky.
“The last room to the left is the Young Master’s room. At this time, he should be expecting his breakfast.”
Mina bowed her head and smiled. “Alright. Thanks, Bunion.”
“ You’re welcome. See you later and good luck.”
Bunion made his way down the stairs, leaving Mina alone in front of Jaiden’s bedroom. She inhaled three deep breaths and braced herself to confront the guy who had almost killed her yesterday.
Will he recognize me? She knocked on the door and pushed it open, not waiting for an answer from him.
Fifteen minutes ago, Jaiden stretched his arms overhead and rolled out of bed. Having spent the entire day with Madison yesterday, he overslept this morning.
And all they did was shop, talk, and eat.
Never in his life had he carried ten filled shopping bags in each arm and walked through the Uptown like the socialite’s personal assistant.
If asked, he would admit he had expected to do something else fun adults did with Madi. He wasn’t exactly disappointed, but he would never have guessed that in Madison’s book, adults went shopping for fun. After shopping, they had lunch, dinner, and midnight dessert. She didn’t leave him alone until one in the morning.
He took a quick shower in the bathroom adjacent to his bedroom. He combed his hair, shaved his face and brushed his teeth. Fifteen minutes later, he entered his bedroom, wearing nothing but a dark blue towel wrapped around his torso and thighs.
Jaiden had forgotten a temp-maid would come in
