Chapter 2: Clumsy

She ate and went to bed.

The next day, she woke up sneezing, just then she sniffed sweet scents from the bathroom, her warm bath was readily filled with soap bubbles, she walked in, and slid into the bathtub.

She had her bath and changed into a cloth that was on her bed. She got dressed in a white hoodie with a jean shirt and floppy slippers.

She came down downstairs, searching for the maid lady.

She carefully walked down the stairs as her eyes searched through the huge mansion.

"This place is huge! I'm I really seeing things? Wait, is this man sort of a superstar? "

"Is this really a house or a five star hotel?"

Her eyes widened at the sight of seeing the sitting room. It was huge, filled with black cushions and five white sofas then on the right side of the huge stairs there was the Dinning room, the table was made of glass.

It was a huge table, anyone upon seeing it would think it was a table for a feast for fifteen persons or thereabout.

The pepper pit, champagne flute, fruit bowl, cup and saucer, placemat, and other stuff were neatly arranged on the table.

The Butler accompanied by three maids came to arrange the food on the table.

Arnold walked into the room. He was so hot and good-looking, his dark hair fell on both sides with strands of hair that fell on his face covering part of his left eye.

Jenna stared from where she stood. Her jaw dropped upon seeing such a beautiful man.

She smiled as she stared at him, as she walked down the stairs, suddenly she tripped. She missed a step and almost fell, but just then she felt a strong arm caught her. The strong arm around her waist made her felt really safe.

Why isn't she falling? She thought as she sniffed a sweet scent coming from the body that caught her. Her eyes were still tightly closed.

She slowly opened her eyes to see the gorgeous man she was adoring few minutes ago.

She blinked slowly. As she almost forgot to breathe, they were so close! Gosh!

The gorgeous man was on a white shirt with a red tie around his neck.

Their face were so close that they could fell their breaths. Her nose was so close to his. She scanned every item on his face, his shady round eyes, those beautiful dark Long lashes, lovely thin lips, and a cute pointy nose.

Everyone paused as their eyes were all on them.

Arnold snapped. As he gently put her down.

"Are you okay?" He asked but wore no worried look on his face. Jenna said no word as she was still trying to process all that just happened in a flash.

"You're so Clumsy..be careful next time so as not to bump your head on the pillars." He smirked and turned as he took a few steps away, heading to the Dinning table.

"Thank you. " Jenna looked up at him as she could only see his back.

He stopped walking. Just then she immediately sneezed. Hei..Hei..hetcheteeeeeww!!..

Embarrassed, she hurriedly covered her mouth with both hands, and a strand of hair fell on her face as she looked up at it in a cute way.

The Butler and the maids turned to her.

"Oh my god! They just saw that, didn't they". "Can't even behave for once!! Arrghh!!"

She cursed inwardly and then forced a smile as she looked at them.

"Get her some soup." Arnold ordered with his back facing her.,

She looked up at him as he walked with his broad shoulders to the Dinning table.

She hesitantly walked to the table and stood nervously.

Arnold chewed his vegetable slowly, then swallowed.

Jenna just stood counting how many times he chewed before he swallowed.

Arnold wondered why she stood So he asked her to sit as he poured out juice for himself.

Jenna stared at him for some seconds before placing her hand on the comfy seat.

The Butler immediately pulled out her seat, then she forced a smile at him as she sat comfortably.

Watching Arnold closely, she noticed he chewed excellently well. He ate less Of course.

Before she could breathe, a maid put out her food on a white wide plate, a spoon and fork were placed before her on a plate mat and a napkin was at the left side of her arm.

She began to eat. She ate the pea with the fork and then the salad and beef.

She gaped at him as he nibbled slowly. She couldn't help but stare.

Arnold waved his hand in the air, signaling the maids and the Butler to leave. They did and he turned back to his food.

"Is he The Mister Arnold the blonde guy spoke about? Should I thank him? Is he Mister Arnold???" She thought as she bent her head while her eyes peeled at him through her hair strands.

She quickly put out the strands behind her ears as she sat upright.

"Mm..thank you for.. " she stuttered, carefully studying his face. He held a glass of water up to his lips then he halted as he listened though his eyes looked into the glass of water.

"For... for saving me last night,". She uttered bashfully as she peeked.

He took seconds before he gave a reply.

"That's alright". He firmly said, he didn't for once looked at her.

"You look scary .." Jenna timidly said shutting her eyes tight then slowly keeping an eye open to see his reaction.

Not minding what she said, he asked.

"Who are you and what were you doing out there in the rain? " He straightly asked, this time his eyes were fixed on her as she was lost in those beautiful eyes again. Gosh!!

"I asked a question". Arnold stared into her eyes

She suddenly came back to reality..

"I..I'm Jenna. ..Jenna William Brookes. I.. I got here by mistake, I came in search for a job, and I suddenly got here. I know no one here and my boss isn't responding to any of my texts." She lied. She didn't want to tell him she ran outta home.

"I had nowhere to stay last night, I was wandering from street to street with my luggage, and I couldn't find help. "She halted.

"I'm Glad you offered to help". She continued

"I'm Grateful for that". She blinked twice at him and then looked away immediately.

Arnold silently exhaled . "So what's on your mind ".

"I know I'd be a burden if I stayed here. I'll definitely look for a job and I could pay rent for staying here. ". She halted.

"I'd meet up my rent." She nodded.

Arnold was amazed at what she said as he found her interesting.

"How about you work here instead?". He didn't avert his gaze, he looked at her as if studying her.

"Work here? Sir, but you already have lots of workers here, what work could I possibly do here when you...". she halted as she was called off.

"My personal maid". He said.
