I froze in my spot as a shirtless, smug Edward started to head over towards me. My eyes watched his every step. I gulped nervous and intrigued as he came closer and closer to me. Our eyes locked.
My eyes moved away from his when he was standing right in front of me, feeling a bit uncomfortable and exposed.
Edward let out a light chuckle and whispered next to my ear, "Enjoy the Show?"
More than you know and more than I should.
He walked away without waiting for an answer, heading on his way to his bedroom.
With Edward gone out of eyesight my gaze landed on the maid who was still very much in the room. I couldn't help the disgusted looks I gave her.
"Could you be any more obvious?" She asked amused, giggling as she fixed her skirt, in the progress of leaving the room.
I just stood there in silence giving her the evil eye as she exited the room.
I was still trying to process what I just witness.
I didn't think I would start to have feelings for Edward. It puzzled me. I barely knew the guy yet he was able to affect me more than any other person I have met through my job.
I needed some answers. I needed to know who this man really was.
I walked back to the kitchen area for a drink of water as well as hoping to catch the maids before they left for the night, one in particular.
I lite up when I noticed the old maid I talked briefly with earlier was still around. It seemed everyone else recently left and she was close to leaving herself, as she was in the process of gathering her belongs.
"Hello, Rosa is it?" I said reading her name tag.
She looked up at me and stopped what she was doing.
"Can, I ask you about Master Cullen?" I asked carefully, not sure if I was over stepping the boundaries by asking Edward's staff about his dirty secrets.
Rosa was quick to reply, "Careful with that one."
"What?"
"With Mr. Cullen, you should be careful. Better yet you should leave." Rosa answered.
"I don't understand."
She looked over her shoulder to make sure no one was around listening. As if it was even out-of-place for her to say anything.
"Listen, you seem like a nice guy, so I'm going to be honest with you. Mr. Cullen is not a good man and anyone who stays in this house becomes corrupted; mixed up in his fake world. I wish I could tell you he wasn't always like this, but that would be a lie."
I took a seat mentally preparing myself for what I might hear next.
"I wish I had left long ago." Rosa said, taking a chair next to me.
"How do you know all this, have you known Edward long?"
"I have worked for Mr. Cullen for a long time. Actually I started working for his parents. He didn't have a regular childhood like most kids have growing up. His mother was very much into material things and spending money and his father was all about his work and his secretary.
They were never around for Edward growing up. He was mainly raised by the nanny and me.
Although we tried to help bring him up in a positive environment and help nurture him. He was already in a cruel and fake atmosphere.
Being taught by what he has seen from his parents growing up that it's okay to sleep around and not care. It's ok to buy whatever you want and not think of price tags and that money is everything but yet means nothing, you're never satisfied.
He has never felt love before. His parents never bonded with him in that way.
And of course these young naïve maids that he hires all want him; he is good-looking and rich. They think he will take care of them financial or they think maybe hell fall for them and they will have a happily ever after story.
I just don't want you to get your hopes up with him.
I have tried to change Edwards over the years. I found it my personal duty after he became an adult and his parents didn't need me anymore. I volunteered to work for him.
I thought maybe I could reach out to him in time but now I see he is never going to change. This is how he has been and how he will always be.
You're not the first person he has brought into his house and probably won't be the last."
We have more in common than I thought.
