His Crazy Maid

You don’t know the colour of the heart?”

Annie paused just looking at him.

“What the hell are you talking about?. Red is the color of the heart so??”

Larry pressed his lips together.

“Like… I .. I red you, like red you..”he repeated.

“If you’re trying to drive me nuts then stop!”Annie snapped angrily.

“Oh, yea!. That’s what I’m trying to do. I want to be the driver of your red and drive you just as crazy ever!”Larry quickly said.

“You’re a bozo!”Annie screamed.

“A bozo?, well, since it’s you, I’m happy to be a bozo. Your bozo.”Larry replied.

“If I stay with you I will just go crazy!”Annie yelled.

“Yes, I will drive you crazy with roses, with care, with red, everything.”Larry replied.

Annie opened her mouth and glanced sideways then scoffed.

She tucked her hair behind her ears and nodded.

“I see, for a man who chained me to the her to take advantage of me is really crazy. So why I’m I really shocked?”

“No, pink face.. please consider me, pink face.. I really red you pink face…”Larry said.

“Will you shut it?, shut it or I will shut it for you!. You aren’t even remorseful. I thought you came to apologized for your animal attitude the other night but now here we are, you are, spluttering absolutely nothing but nonsense. Look, here, young man, I have a lot of work to do and also, my boss wouldn’t like it if I keep him waiting for long.”Annie expounded and with a hiss, turned and walked away.

Larry stared at her as she left.

Alright, he is really a psycho!.

He is really stupid!.

He should have confessed yo her directly but still he doesn’t want to admit it.

He just didn’t see himself saying those words.

What’s really wrong with him?.

Annie returned back to Boyd’s office with a great frown.

“Are you… okay?”Boyd asked.

“Not too fine.. I just finished dealing with a hell.”Annie replied.

“Hell?”Boyd asked.

“Never mind, you won’t understand.”

“Then, make me.”

Boyd started intently at her.

Annie sighed.

“Well…”she started and Boyd readjust his sitting room, looking at her eagerly.

“So, I think we should get back to work. Time isn’t really on our side.”she added evasively.

Boyd was disappointed.

Well, a part of him knows she wasn’t gonna tell him tho.

“Yeah.”he said with a serious tone.

**

Boyd opened the door and as he stepped in, he collapsed on the floor.

Is that how, just show, he is gonna lose her?

No. He has professed his love to her so…

Oh, who is he kidding. He wasn’t professing love but madness… he is really mad.

Garry descended the stairs and seeing his brother in that position, he frowned.

He walked towards him.

“What’s wrong?”he asked.

But Larry didn’t reply him.

Garry studied bus facial expression and stifled a laugh.

“You look like you just get dumped!”Garry stated.

“And I just get dumped.”Larry replied lowly.

“Oh, ooh.. that must be so disheartening. Sorry, big head. Can I do something for you?, like can I help you with anything.”

“Fuck off!”Larry said and stood up then went to his room.

*

“Are you truly not angry?. Why the sudden…”

“I have a home before I came here, and I’m going back there now.. thanks for accommodating me in that while tho.”Annie gave Boyd a response.

“That was a little rude. I mean, I didn’t say you don’t have a home before..”he sighed.

“I’m sorry. I just don’t have a way with words.”Annie apologized.

“You sure don’t.”Boyd scoffed.

“I will take you home.”

“You don’t have to, I already order a Uber and it will be here anytime from now.”

“But, I insist.”

“You …”

“Seriously, little Ann. Stop being so stubborn. I will take you home and that’s final, hm?”

“Hm.”

Boyd walked over to the center table and grabbed his car keys.

“Hey, mom. Guess what?, Larry got dumped, like fucking dumped!”Garry said while they were eating on the dining table that evening.

Skyler has left after having breakfast with the family back to his house.

“What?. Is he telling the truth Larry?. Oh, my poor baby.. it must be really hard, isn’t it?”Grace said sadly.

Larry scoffed and looked at Garry.

“You are sure like a chatter – box, aren’t you?”

“Yes, I am.”Garry grinned.

“And mom, it’s a lie. I didn’t get dumped. I mean just take a look at me, do I look like someone who just got dumped?”

“Yes!!”Grace and Garry chorused.

Larry glared hard at both of them.

“Mom, I know Garry can be so blind sometimes, but you also?”

“Are you indirectly telling me that I’m blind?”Grace asked.

“I dare not.”Larry replied.

“Of course, you dare not. Else I’m just gonna beat you up.”Garry smiled.

“And you think I’m still that little boy?”Larry scoffed.

“And don’t you think it’s time you get those eyes lens off from your eyes.”he added.

“Yeah. I really miss my brown eyes. Somehow, it gives me this… you know, it makes me stands out.”Garry let’s out a smile.

“Keep deceiving yourself.”Larry scoffed.

“Oh, you certainly know that isn’t a lie, Larry.”Garry teased.

Larry went to the hotel again.

This time around, to have a meeting with the guys.

They gathered around in the room and Larry sighed.

“So, I think it’s high time we open this hotel. As in, start doing business in it.”Larry started.

“That decision isn’t yours to make.”Rico said.

Larry turned to him.

“Why?”

“Because you’re not the boss. And I already told you of your recent behaviors and he said he’s coming back soon.”

Larry smirked and fished out his phone.

He operated on his phone and letter turned the phone to them.

“You mean this?”

Rico eyes widened and so the others.

“You’re the boss?!”they all asked in unison.

“Yeah. And Rico, it’s really nice having you around. Your works are well appreciated. It’s time you go out of this. You aren’t really a trusted guy, after all.”Larry said.

“What?”Rico asked, wide eyed.

“Yeah. That’s more like giving you a resignation letter. Leave the hotel immediately.”Larry said sternly.

He pocketed back his phone and smiled.

“The rest, you all passed. So, now, get ready for the opening of the hotel. We will employ more people. And y’all, our target should be really great.

We will advertise it through the media and then, tomorrow, definitely, it will be opened and get ready to be as busy as bees tomorrow cause we will be taking in new people. Work then start finally the next two days.”

“Rose, you should be in charge of the interview, especially with the chefs cause you seems to have a high taste and here, what we will to offering to our customers should be of high taste.

“And Nancy, you call deal with every other people. Seems you’re good at discerning people and their possible behaviors. I don’t want any disloyal personnel here.”

Nancy raised up her hand and Larry gave her a nod.

“But what about the other business?”Nancy asked.

“It will be put to an abrupt stop of the business.”

“And why do I feel bad about that?. I’m so gonna miss it so much.”

“Don’t worry, Nancy. You will enjoy this business. It will be fun than delivering goods to people.”

“If you say so.”Nancy shrugged.

Larry stared at Rose.

“Anything?”

Rose shook her head and he nodded.

“Finally, you’re back. Living in this house without you is so boring. And what?, you went without luggage so why….”

Rosetta asked as Annie walked inside the house with a luggage but stopped immediately Boyd came in with another one.

Wow.

“…. are you with luggages…”she completed her statement.

“The good sir bought it for me.”Annie said referring to Boyd.

Good sir?.

Boyd smiled at that word before giving a bow to Rosetta.

“Who is the gentleman?”

“My boss, mom.”Annie rolled her eyes and took the luggage from Boyd and drove them inside her room.

“Oh, Boyd Brick. I’ve read and heard so much about you on the media. So nice seeing you.”Rosetta said.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Boyd smiled “Same here ma”

And then, there was a brief but pause.

“If she misbehaves, I mean Annie, you can always tell me.. and I will just scold her.”

Boyd nodded.

“Okay, ma. But one thing, I would like it if you help me talk to her to go on her date with me..”

“Of course, she definitely would.”she replied.

Annie came out and sighed.

“Thanks, Boyd, thank you so much.”she said and Boyd shook her head.

“Stop thanking me. It’s really nothing. I will get going now.”and he turned.

“Bye.”Annie said with a wave.

He nodded and went out.

“What, you won’t even see him out?”Rosetta said to Annie after Boyd went out of sight.

“Not really important.”Annie said and yawned and went back to her room.

*

Larry drove to Annie’s house and Boyd’s car drove past him while he was driving towards there.

He got there and after parking his car, pressed the doorbell.

The gate opened minutes later and Rosetta smiled.

“Larry. So good to see you again.”

“Yeah, ma’am. Has Annie returned back home?”

“Yes. She arrived some minutes ago. Even, her boss is even the one that drop her off. He is really good, isn’t it?”

“He is. So, can I come in?”

“Sure.”

He walked inside and wait for her to lock the gate then they both move in.

“Should I call her for you or?..”

“She’s in her room, right?. Can I go see her?”

Rosetta nodded and pointed at the direction of Annie’s room.

Larry went there and knocked on the door.

“Come in, the door is open.”came her reply.

He took a deep breath and opened the door swiftly and stepped inside shutting the door behind him.

“Gosh, when did you start knocking mo….”she was saying but as soon as she looked up and her eyes caught with Larry’s, she paused, dumbfounded
