Camila The Chameleon
Reaching back home first, I saw Camilla. The chameleon was ordering everyone in the living room like a boss.
I wandered my eyes around and noticed a few staff members were cleaning the house. I rolled my eyes, looking at them cleaning the house late in the evening.
“Were you guys sleeping the whole day, Kena?” I asked one maid.
She looked at me, looking all confused about my question.
“No, mam.” She replied instantly, and by then everyone in the room was looking at me.
“Then is there a special occasion today?” I asked again.
“No, mam.” She replied again.
“Oh, so that means you guys must be planning a day off for tomorrow?” I asked with a fake smile on my face, and they all looked confused while she again replied no.
“Then why the fucking hell are you guys cleaning at 8 in the evening and making a noise in my house when you all know it’s time for Bella to sleep? Who is the idiot who told you to do this work so late?”
Though I knew who the person was who ordered poor people to work this late evening, I still wanted to insult her in front of everyone.
The poor soul gulped in fear and looked at Camilla but said nothing. But well, I understood.
“Of course, there is no other idiot that could be possible than this little creature.”
I accused her in front of everyone, and I heard a few faint chuckles, which I ignored.
“Finish this tomorrow and leave.”
I dismissed them and looked at Camilla.
“Next time when I come to my house, if I find my house noisy, count the last day of your job in my house. Got it?” I spoke in fuming, and I heard gasps from the servant, which I again ignored.
“Now leave and get the dinner table ready. I am starving.”
I spoke while walking towards my room. I was delighted by the way I made her speechless today. And I will leave no chance if I get it in the future too.
After freshening up, I walked towards Bella’s room, and Alvera was telling her bedtime story.
Somewhere, I felt bad, as I cannot give her as much time as I used to. But now I am back to my old work, and the workload is too much to deal with sometimes.
Though Nathan tries his level best not to stress me out, I know what I have to do.
“Hi, my beautiful Bella,” I said while kissing her nose.
Mumma, you’re back.” She said this while hugging me, and I reciprocated.
I lay down on her bed with her. “Alvera, can you tell Camilla to bring my food here? I am too lazy to go down, and I want to spend some time with Bella, please.” I spoke politely, and she left after nodding.
Taking the book from the table, I read from where Alvera left, and in no time, Bella slipped into her dreamland.
I look to my left when I notice Alvera entering with a tray of food. And that again pissed me off.
“Didn’t I say tell Camilla the Chameleon to bring the food?”
She started laughing like a baby when she heard me, and for the first time, I heard her laugh. She is beautiful inside and out. I smile, looking at her laughing figure.
“You are hilarious. She said this while cleaning her tears, and I shrugged my shoulders.
“Now answer my question.” Her smile flew away the moment she heard me.
Mhmm.” She hesitated to tell me, but I knew the bitch must have said something hurtful for sure.
“What did she say? I want to know it word for word.” I said it sternly.
“She said… I should not order around when I am one maid here.” She said it with a small smile.
“And she wasn’t wrong, Sarah.” She tries to justify Camilla’s statement.
“One thing you need to remember from today is that you are not made here. Understand?” I said it again in a stern manner, and she nodded with a small smile.
“Now eat, please.” She said this while I was placing the food on my plate.
And I decide the plan I need to execute to show her place.
After dinner, I slept with Bella.
The next day I got up, feeling charged up, and thought about my plan.
I wore one of my tight skirts, which somehow suffocated me a little, and paired it up with a white shirt. I left two buttons open, so my black lacy bra should be visible.
I let my curly hair open. Wearing my high heels, I walked down like a queen.
Well, if you are thinking, Why do I get so ready? Then let me tell you.
As promised, I got a file the next day saying this house was in my name.
And right now, Sean is home.
And I am legally his wedded wife, so if he wants to whore around, he can buy out of my house. And if his pimp tries to abuse my staff by any means, then she has to see my wrath first.
This is my house; they are my people, and I will do anything to make them feel comfortable when they work under my roof.
I walk down holding a bag, the limited collection of Roberto Cavalli.
My Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses were on my head, and for a change, I am highly caked up if I think about how simple I do my makeup in general. I intentionally walk like a model.
I wanted to laugh at myself, but today But somehow, I am enjoying this. Controlling my smile, I walked towards the dining room. I could hear a giggling sound. I heard the giggling noise of Sean and Bella.
“Good morning, everyone,” I said while walking towards my seat, not looking at anyone.
“Mumma, you look different today,” Bella said, and I looked at Sean, and he did a quick glance at my dressing, but he might lose his fortune if he let any emotion come on his face.
“Alvera, I asked you something. Did you do it?” I said while looking at Alvera, and she nodded and signed to someone, and in no time, the entire house staff was standing in front of me.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
“So, everyone, I can see you guys work so hard, and I really appreciate this.
So, I would like to tell you we have decided on a 25% increment in your salary, and you have today off.
I said, and I heard a gasp and cheering sound from everyone, and I could see how happy they were.
I looked at Sean, and he looked unbothered by my decision, thankfully. Great, at least he has not objected.
“And who will work, if I may ask?” Chameleon spoke.
“Yes, you may, as you can see. I have not given the off to the entire staff, if you can see,” I said while taking food to my plate.
She looked back and noticed the entire house and the entire staff were standing there looking happy.
“I can see, but I guess you can’t.” She said that, and Sean looked at her.
“Did you forget you are also a maid here?” I asked while still taking the food off my plate.
I looked at her, and she was clinching the spoon so tightly that her skin had turned white, and I smirked intentionally.
She was about to say something when she stopped hearing Sean’s phone ring.
“I will be on my way.” He got up, cleaning his mouth.
