Chapter 2

• “No, please let me stay. I can't just go home,” she begged, desperation for the job was written all over her face. “Please, my place is very distant and I would go homeless if you send me away, ” she let out, going on her knees.
• Hector's dark eyes glared down at her.
• His cheeks were burning, he hadn't seen anybody that could act this way for a job, Teresa moved further before grabbing his legs. Hector tried not to be affected by the way she was holding his leg, he noticed that some tears were already finding their way out of her eyes.
• He didn't want her to cry again in front of him. He hated it when someone had to cry in front of him because it meant he was the cause of such an action. He closed his eyes before gritting his teeth together, Hector tried to keep his face void and not get twisted by her emotions.
• He wouldn't deny the fact that she was pretty even if she was on the verge of tears. And he knew that she was dangerous, very dangerous.
• “I understand you miss Conner but could you stop what you, ” he tried to say but was cut shut by the ringing of his phone. He brought out his phone in frustration and relief, he swiped the answer button the instant he noticed that she was going to speak up again.
• He kept a finger to his lips. He was telling her to keep shut while he answered his call, he moved to the end of the room to speak to the person on the other line. He turned to notice Teresa adjusting the bow tie on Rose's hair, he fought back a smile.
• Hector released a huge sigh before he could find his voice again. “I don't know mom but you shouldn't have done this,” he answered as he stared at Teresa doing some funny face at Rose who kept chuckling, he wiggled his head at her reaction.
• The instant he dropped his phone, there was another call from his office. Hector didn't want to pick up as he kept his phone on silent before fixing his phone back to his pocket. He examined Teresa.
• “Okay, I would give you a chance here Teresa,” he let out, making Rose cheer with a smile. “Don't thank me for letting you stay, it just seems Rose likes your company, ” he said, making his daughter move towards him before hugging him.
• “Th, ” she was going to say but he cut her short. “Don't thank me, just do your job,” he let out as Teresa nodded in affirmation with her eyes staring at him with joy, she didn't know how to thank him enough for accepting her into his home.
• “You know about my daughter being Traumatized? She can't speak much because she was in shock, I hope you don't stress her and do your job, I would be off to work, we would discuss more when I get back home, ” he let out, making Teresa nod.
• “Miss Conner?” he called, making her raise an eyebrow.
• “The salary is the same as the one on the poster, you just have to do your part of the job well. I would draw us a contract later and before I forget both parties have a right to end the contract at any time, ” he said again making Teresa blink her eyes and nod like a mannequin.
• “Just follow me, I have no time to waste, ” Hector said holding his daughter‘s hand, ” Teresa was a little terrified by the way her new boss was acting. She didn't know whether she should be happy or sad, she was happy that his mother had called and talked some senses into him.
• She couldn't imagine herself walking around in the big city of Las Vegas. She didn't stay in the city and it took her the courage to leave her hometown in search of a job in the city.
• “Miss Conner?” her boss called.
• She shrieked. She quickly grabbed her pink suitcase before following her new boss, she hurried up to catch his pace because he was walking very fast. He turned to glare at her but wiggled his head without saying a word.
• She kept counting the twists and turns they had taken. Teresa tried to understand the huge house but it turned out she was confused. If she was to do her job well, she should be fast in understanding every nook and cranny of the big house.
• For now, she was enjoying every view of the house. Her eyes were amazed by the highly decorated home, Hector Hidalgo was a businessman known in the news and on all front pages of the magazine.
• She didn't know he had time to put his huge house in order. The thick carpet and the artwork used to decorate the house were beautiful, “Miss Conner, I would introduce you to Nanny Nita when she is back from her trip.” she nodded at the way his personality can switch at any time.
• “You would later learn that I hate people who don't listen, I love when you stick by my rules because I'm not a forgiving person, I hope you stick to my rules, ”
• With that, he opened a door allowing her to step inside before him. Teresa sighed before entering the room, she was shocked at the dirty environment she was standing in. Teresa closed her eyes and opened them again just to be sure she wasn't hallucinating.
• The kitchen was big and had all items needed but why was it this messy? There were used plates and flour everywhere. She moved further to notice stains of food and crushed egg littering just everywhere.
• She looked up at the ceiling and walls to notice peels of pancakes and pasta everywhere. Hector moved into the kitchen before standing behind Teresa, his body was close to her that she could scent his fragrance whacking her nose.
• “Your job has just started,” he whispered in her ear before leaving with his daughter.
