Chapter 8 Seven

• "Tori, are you going to work?"
• I stopped putting on my shoes when Aunt Merna asked me. He was holding the broom while looking at me.
• "Yes," I answered and walked towards the gate after putting on my shoes. "I'm early today because there are many guests coming."
• "Zellor?" I was stunned when the gate opened and turned to Tiya.
• "Sleep," I answered politely and opened the gate. "There is milk ready on the table. Give him a drink when he cries."
• "You can count, hija." She smiled at me and went back to sweeping.
• Who is Zellor? He is one of the reasons why I still can't forget him. Zellor is the result of Steven and I's sin and what he said that I might be pregnant came true.
• I accepted my son with all my heart and I did not imitate my mother who almost hated me. I don't want my child to experience what I experienced. Steven didn't know we had a child. Why should I say more? I'm the one who wants to stay away from him. You just found out I'm pregnant here. And I can't forget him that easily because he has a remembrance of me.
• Arch Zellor Caballero is my almost 2 year old son. He got almost everything from Steven. Steven has a spanish blood. He got almost everything from Steven which made me very depressed. From hair to skin. He only got my eyes, tight. Aunt Merna acts as her bodyguard while I work. He's the only one I can trust when it comes to Zellor.
• "Good morning, Tori!" Leah greeted me happily, she already had a broom.
• "Good Morning," I greeted back.
• "Are the guests coming?"
• She smiled at me and continued her sweeping. "More later, but someone requested house keeping in room number 2, everyone is busy and it's good you're here."
• I nodded and went inside the resort. The resort has changed a lot especially since it was sold to an influential family. That's why the entire resort has gotten even better and people from other places are already visiting.
• "Housekeeping!" I said with a smile while waiting in front of the door.
• Patient and polite is really the first rule for us that has stuck in my mind. As a house keeper, I have to lower my pride and even if the guest has an attitude, you still have to treat him right.
• I almost jumped back in shock when the door suddenly opened. My lips parted when I peeked inside and there was so much clutter. The man grinned at me and opened the door. She is topless and her eyes are glued to me. I winced.
• "Come here," he said turning his back on me.
• I took a deep breath and went inside with the cleaning supplies. My lips parted when I saw the mess on the floor. There were clothes, panties, bras and I even saw a condom with... I shook my head and rubbed my forehead.
• I can't say what I saw but I was disgusted. But, I quietly started cleaning. I chose the one near the bathroom first because I couldn't handle what I was hearing and seeing.
• "Honey, I want a luxurious bag when we get back to the city. I want the expensive one since our night was a bit rough."
• I winced.
• "Alright, Honey..."
• I took the dust pan and used the broom to put the condom in the dust pan and then put it in the trash can. Other clutter is wine bottles and some chicheryas. I've been cleaning for almost half an hour and my hand is shaking from what I hear.
• "I want to finger you baby..."
• Please, stop that! I don't want to be a witness. I closed my eyes and hurried to clean especially when I heard the woman's low moan. After I finished cleaning the room, I rushed out of the room and slammed the door shut. I held my chest and closed my eyes. My cheeks warmed and my heart beat faster.
• "Are you okay, Qotorie?"
• I woke up and quickly straightened myself up. I nodded and glanced at the door for a moment before facing Ma'am Emma, ​​our head.
• He nodded. "Alright, tell your colleagues, especially the chef. We need to be ready because there will be an anniversary at the resort so we will be busy."
• I immediately nodded and smiled at him. He smiled back and continued walking. His hand is behind his back and he walks formally as if observing the workers' every move. I sighed and turned away.
• "What is that?" I wondered. "What for?"
• I frowned when I saw that Joel and my other colleagues were writing on a small piece of paper. Joel showed me the paper.
• "There is still a raffle event here. Ma'am Emma said we should join so I wrote my name," he explained and grabbed the ball pen from Leah.
• "Joel, I'm not done yet!" Leah complained.
• Joel just laughed and handed me the ball pen and paper.
• "Oh, write your name. You might get lucky, for baby Zellor..."
• I accepted the paper and ball pen and bowed. I wrote the name and contact number. That's all that's needed for the raffle. Joel took the paper from me and stared for a moment at what I wrote.
• "Is there a problem?" I asked worriedly.
• He turned to me. "I thought your real name was Qotorie?"
• Leah immediately approached Joel and grabbed the paper and looked at it.
• "Havana Qotorie Suarez," Leah wet and immediately inhaled.
• He looked at me in surprise. "Wow, what a tall name! I thought your name was Tori?"
• I smiled at him.
• "Havana is just my first name and Qotorie is my second name. It's too tall so my nickname is Tori," I explained.
• He looked at me in amazement and clapped his hands.
• "Great, you're still good, your nickname is nice, it's Joel's, Joela!" And he laughed
• after.
• Joel blinked. "I know right, so I'll be looking for fafables tonight!" Joel said excitedly and hit the table.
• I just shook my head. The two of them became my friends here in Badian Island. I feel comfortable with them and when I have a problem with baby Zellor, they help me.
• "You two stand up right there!" Leah said let's go together.
• I stood up and fixed my clothes.
• "I didn't even get a beauty rest!" Joel said artfully and put the paper in the box.
• The guest arrived while we were getting ready for their event. Others are setting up the tent while others are designing the stage. We, on the other hand, arrange the cutlery and so on.
• "OMG!" Joel screamed and elbowed me. "I saw something papable earlier!"
• I just smiled and continued to put the glasses on. Spoons and forks are covered with tissue.
• "You're really Joel, just work on it. You can't flirt now!" Leah admonished him and shook his head.
• "This Leah is KJ, because she lacks irrigation!"
• My eyes widened and I looked at Leah's reaction which was now very annoyed. I laughed and shook my head. I was about to move to a table when Ma'am Emma called me. I gently placed the bottle on the table and approached Ma'am.
• "Hello, Ma'am!"
• He pulled me closer to him. "They will take care of that. Someone requested house keeping, one of our important guests."
• I nodded and followed what Ma'am said. All I know is that one of the guests is in room 12. It's almost time for me to go out because it's only 5 in the afternoon, but since everyone is busy it's okay for me to be overtime. Carrying the cleaning equipment, I went to the second floor and stopped at room 12.
• "Come in."
• I heard a deep voice from inside. I turned the door and entered quietly. I was a little surprised to see that the entire room was free of clutter. Where does he want to be cleaned?
• "Good Afternoon. House Keeping..."
• The man kept his back to me looking out the window. His room was a bit dark and he had no intention of turning on the light. He didn't say a word so I just cleaned quietly. I thought of taking a peek at the bathroom because that might be what the guest was referring to cleaning because the room was not cluttered. But when I peeked, there was no mess. Very clean and apparently never used. I closed the door softly.
• "Sir..."
• I gasped and let go of the broom when I saw who was in front of me.
• "S-Steven..."
• I froze and retreated. I was horrified and swallowed. My knees almost shook at what I saw. He was looking at me intently. He is wearing a black button-down long sleeve. Her hair is still very curly but she has bleached the highlights. I swallowed especially when I saw her red lips. My heart beat faster. He is even more beautiful in my eyes.
• "Qotorie..." His jaw tightened and he stepped closer to me.
• I panicked as I had nowhere to turn. I closed my eyes when he slammed his hand on the door and brought his body closer to me. He bent down so that his face was close to mine. He cornered me. His lips lifted and he was watching me.
• "What a surprise, my love." He smirked. "Are you happy to see me?"
• I jumped a little when he smelled my hair. I gulped when he laughed softly.
• "I still have the impact, eh? I never thought I would see you again." He smirked.
• My fist is clenched. I know he knows I'm here. Ma'am Emma wouldn't have chosen me if she didn't know.
• Why is he here?
• "I still couldn't get away from my fucking marriage because my wife doesn't want to sign the paper. But then, why did you leave me?" His jaw tightened again.
• I turned my face away from him when he brought his face closer to mine, too close. I felt his lips and breath on my cheek.
• "S-Sir-"
• "Bullshit!"
• I jumped when he lightly punched the door. I felt afraid of him. My body was shaking. He was about to kiss me when I pushed him so hard that I got away from him.
• "I don't know what you're doing here, Steven..." My voice was shaking. "But I hope you are happy with your wife. I hope you treat her better this time."
• I swallowed and my heart ached at what I said. He laughed. What I said seemed like a joke to him. He licked his lower lip and nodded. "Of course, I am loyal to my wife."
• I nodded. "That's good. I'm leaving, Sir, since I have nothing to clean here."
• He didn't say anything, so I picked up the broom and left the room. Tears fell from my eyes and my heart ached.
• After I saw him I was still weak. My heart still really belongs to him, but I won't let him get close to me. I'm afraid he's here. He might know about Zellor. I shook my head as I went down the stairs.
• I won't let him take Zellor from me. I made a mistake but I love my son too much to leave him alone. I don't want my son to know that he is the result of Steven and I's false love, so I will do everything to make him content with me.
