More Than A Maid

Bella’s POV

I spent more time with Francisca, she promised to do her best in protecting me from Monica

“Let me guess, Monica exact threat was that if or whenever you interact with Peter, she’ll tell the whole world your true identity?” Francisca spoke to me while moved to our usual table.

“That’s right. Arrrrgh!” I

“That explains why Monica is clinging around him now” She said and I eye searched for both of them.

Monica wrapped her hand around over his neck, he took them over but she did it over again.

“Monica has always been clinging around him”

“Yeah, it just worsen”

She caught me staring at them, so I took my eyes off them quickily and sat down with Francisca.

“I feel for you and Peter”

“Huh?? What do you mean?

” She literally ruin everything for you guys” Francisca said emphasising the last word ‘Everything’

“I’m fine, at least I’m managing.. Monica can only stop me from talking to Peter here in school, not at home or maybe when she’s around”

“Uhmm” Francisca nodded.

Just then, Monica passed by our table, we trailed her with eyes till she got to where Peter and his friends sat.. then she sat with them.

“That witch!” I snarled beneath my breathe but Francisca heard me.

“Witch.. haha.. apart from the fact that Monica is ill-treating you….”All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

I cut her off immediately..

“Ill-treating? Oh no! It hasn’t gotten to that extent yet. And I don’t think I would let her do so to me. I’m not dumb” I shook my head.

“I’m sorry. Good! That’s the spirit and I will always have your back no matter what” She said and I smiled a bit.

“Okay so, I meant that apart from the fact that she usually threaten you… there’s something else you are not telling me Bella”

“Francisca. That’s all. Actually, I regret not revealing my true background to you from the onset. There’s nothing else” I said.

“No, there’s something I need to know”

I didn’t know what she meant but she spoke further before I could say something again.

“You like Peter” She said.

I looked around to see if no one was eaves dropping.

“Whaaa.. tt”

“And it’s so fvcking obvious, you don’t need to deny it. Wait, didn’t you say you won’t hide anything from me anymore?”

I was mute for a second.

“Right now, you do not only look upset with the fact that they are together but jealous too” She said..

I took a deep sigh and managed to speak up..

“But.. don’t you think it’s absurd for me to crush on him? he is my literally my boss you know. I am trying hard to stop liking him…

“Yeah by decieving yourself that you do not like him” Francisca.

“Shh… Lower your voice” I said but she smiled.

“You guys are cool at home right”

“Yeah, I guess… absolutely”

“How has he been to you lately or should I ask this way, does he feel the same way… “She interrupted me before I could say something again… she replied herself. “I think he likes you too” She said.

“Nah” I shook my head..; “Instead I’m starting to see him as a player”

“Peter? Haha.. Peter is a really cool guy” She said.

Yeah he is a cool guy, that’s why he made me free around him even as his maid.

“Why did you call him a player?” She asked me.

I remember last night, how he made my heart flutter by saying he likes me and then he took back those words.

“Uhm nothing..” I avoided stuttering..

Peter ate at the school cafeteria, avoiding to gaze at where Bella, who sat with her friends few seats away. And besides, Monica was right here in front of me… acting all clingy as usual. Oh Gosh! When will she get fed up of him already?

She might have sat next to him but Francis was already here while Vincent by her own side.

She ate, stared at Peter and smiled. She didn’t know that he was already aware that she’s evil and she fvcking threatened Bella. He played along though.

“Peter, can I talk to you privately?” Vincent broke the silence.

“Sure” Peter responded because he was already done eating.. and obviously, Monica presence still right in front of him, upsets him.

“Yeah, outside” Vincent stood up and He followed him behind.

While Francis and Monica watched as they left the cafeteria.

“Why? I thought the three of you are friends?” Monica said. “Are you guys keeping secrets from eachother now? See! They just left you out!”

“It’s because you are here” Francis fired at her and she rolled her eyes and muttered.. “Whatever”

Francis glared at Francisca, their eyes met and she smiled and waved at him.

“I’m going over there” Francisca whispered to Bella.

“Please don’t, Monica is there” She muttered back.

“Yeah I know. Stay right here okay?” Francisca said. She stood up, took her dish and went to Francis table.

“Hey, Hi” Francisca said then she sat beside Francis, who smiled widely.

“Since when did the two of you become closer?” Monica asked, scrutinizing the look on their faces.

They were smiling, hiding those redden cheek but at the same time, shy.

“None of your business” Francisca snapped at her and she scorned.

“Boring” She hissed and dropped her cutlery. Looked around, only to find Bella sitting alone.

“Oh right!” Monica smiled wickedly.

Then she stood up, literally excusing Francis and Francisca.
