look over my shoulder just to see Jace resting on the wall opposite us while staring at Cassie in adoration.

What?! How the hell did she do that?

The realization that Cassie is trying to trick Jace into believing that she has been apologizing to me dawns on me and I was consumed with rage, I feel like wrapping my hand around her neck and strangling her, that is saying a lot since I'm not a violent person.

"If you like yourself, stay as far as you can from my man." She whispers while smiling at me kindly.

She turns around to walk away and when she sees Jace standing there, she gasps as if she is surprised to see him there.

"How long have you been standing there?"

"Long enough to know that you have truly changed. I'm sorry I didn't believe you when you told me." Jace says while walking away with her.

"You know I'll do anything for you." She tells him while giggling like an idiot.

Someone should explain to me what the hell just happened.

It's late at night and nobody is at home, well except the security man. I have been working since I came back from school, first I had to finish my and Ash's assignments.

I did everyone's laundry except Jace's of course, he does his laundry by himself and then I also cleaned the house and made it as spotless as I possible so that Ash will have no reason to nag at me once she comes back home and then I prepared dinner for everyone. Lastly, I have to clean everyone's room, it remains only Jace's room and after that, I can go and rest in my room before they start coming back from wherever they all went to.

I sigh in relief when I see that the door to Jace's room is slightly open, which means I can go in there. I love singing, it's my hobby and so I sang while cleaning his room.

I enter the sitting room and was heading straight to my room when I hear that faint but sweet and angelic voice. OMG! Who's that? Is it who I'm thinking it is?

I enter my room silently and my mouth drops open at the breathtaking view in from of me.

Sasha.

She looks so beautiful standing there in my room and singing while making my bed, she has replaced the bedsheet, pillowcase, and blanket with a clean one. She has a sweet voice.

Okay, now she has started dancing a funny dance step that makes me want to burst into laughter but I cover my mouth and try to stifle my laughter, when l couldn't take it anymore I burst into uncontrollable laughter that makes her spin around in surprise.

She stumbles on the dirty blanket on the floor and she would have fallen down if I wasn't quick to grab her waist and steady her. Her cheek turns red in embarrassment.

Jace is laughing, OMG he is laughing, like really laughing. Gosh, I have been wondering when next I will see that cute dimples of his. I look into his captivating deep blue eyes and I feel him tighten his hold on me while staring at my lips, I feel so nervous that I bite my lips. Immediately I do that, something snaps in his eyes and he starts dropping his head to mine.

"If you like yourself, stay as far as you can from my man." She whispers while smiling at me kindly.

***

I snap out of the trance I seem to have fallen into and push Jace away with my hand on his chest.

I see two things flash in his eyes immediately, first shock and then anger. I watch that cold expression slide back into his face, I can't read his emotions now because his face turns expressionless. He turns around and walks stiffly into the bathroom.

My eyes well up with unshed tears as I finish what I was doing and rush out of the room as fast as I can. Why do I even feel like crying?

It has been days since Jace and I almost kissed in his room and I have been avoiding him since then, I don't know why but I have been avoiding him.

"Why didn't you just let him kiss you?" Claire asks while stuffing ice cream in her mouth.

We are at our secret hideout where we always have our lunch instead of the cafeteria. Claire is the only good friend I have in Star Light High School, she is also an outcast. That means she also gets bullied and that's because she is a commoner, she did not come from a very rich family like everyone else in this school. The only reason she is able to study in this school is because of the scholarship she got.

"I can't stoop low to kiss a man that is already engaged to someone else and moreover he is my boss. I can't do that."

"How do you know that Cassie is not telling a lie? And moreover, you like him." She says frankly, that's one of the things I like about her. She goes straight to the point.

"Wait! What? I don't like..." I try denying it while hiding the blush that is already making its way to my face.

"Keep telling yourself that."

"It does not matter if I like him, it's not as if my feelings will take me anywhere, I'm just a maid anyway," I say sadly while walking back into the school since we have a few more minutes to head to our next class.

"Hey, don't say that. You are not 'just a maid.' She says softly while trailing behind me to the class.

I can't do this anymore, I can't keep on lying to myself. I like Sasha! As shocking as it sounds, I really like her.

I have a file in front of me, the same file I have been fixing my eyes on for the past thirty minutes. There comes a knock on my door and my PA comes in.

"I'm busy what do you want?"

"Sir, I'm here for the contract I asked you to sign in the morning..." she trails off while staring at the file in front of me in confusion.

Then all of a sudden, from the corner of my eyes, I see her trying hard to stifle a peal of laughter.

"What?"

"T-the file... it's upside down." She stutters.

I took a good look at what I have been fixing my eyes on and true to her talk, it has been upside down all this while. I let out a deep sigh and close the file.

"Kayla, cancel all the meetings and appointments I have today. I need to head home now." There is a certain girl I need to see, I grab my jacket and rush out of my office while my PA stares at me in confusion.
