Chapter 8
“But no worries, you’re working for one and only one. You’ll be serving him. Don’t bother, they are my bosses and they’re good. That’s unless you’re good too”
Leigh-Ann gulped hard and fiddled with her dress with her fingers. What has she gotten into? She couldn’t believe it. This all sounded like the story Catherina had told her some nights ago.
“But don’t worry. You’re free to quit anytime you want. That’s if you don’t get fired first”
Throughout the drive, Leigh-Ann felt uneasy, and to think she was being surrounded by guys made it worse. She was admiring the driver’s blue hair. It looked perfect, like the one she sees in magazines. She didn’t realize he had been stealing glances at her from the front mirror.
He winked at her and looked off when she noticed it. She frowned and looked away, rolling her eyes. He was cute but for winking and stealing glances at her, he now looked just the same to Leigh-Ann, like other guys.
They finally arrived and Leigh-Ann couldn’t help but shiver.
“Come on, Leigh, you can do this. Of course, you can” She kept assuring herself as they approached the mansion. It was so huge and beautiful.
“I wish you luck,” The blue-haired driver said and flashed a smile exposing his perfect dentition.
Leigh-Ann ignored him. She wasn’t the type that associated with strangers freely.
They finally walked inside and she couldn’t help gawking. Everywhere looked so beautiful, she wondered if she was on another planet. Maids were at work and guards were at different positions in the house. Wow, isn’t that perfect? Leigh-Ann could not imagine it.
Just yesterday, she was walking from one coffee shop, bar, cafeteria, every possible place she could find a job, to another, and today, she is here in a beautiful mansion.
She was going to work in a beautiful mansion.
“Welcome to the K-Brothers mansion,” The man said and she smiled with her eyes still glued to the expensive furniture. Did he just mention the K-Brothers?
God, who hasn’t heard of them? They were the talk of the town and every lady’s dream. Well, except Leigh-Ann who only heard of them from gossips as one of the richest and most handsome guys in the USA. Duh, like she cared. She only needed the basic things of life.
The whole atmosphere seemed to change as everyone stopped what they were doing and bowed. Leigh-Ann looked around and scoffed. Like seriously? Were they bowing to a mere human? It looked crazy but she wasn’t going to do that. Not like they were gods or something.
“Good morning, Sir” Orlando greeted and bowed slightly while Leigh-Ann turned in the direction. Her mouth dropped instantly.
What the hell? She couldn’t believe it. Was she dreaming? Her eyes were fixed on him and his on hers. They became cold as she gritted her teeth and fisted her hands beside her. Jesus Christ! She couldn’t believe she had been brought here.
So he was one of the so-called K-Brothers huh? How come she never knew what they all looked like? She once heard that they were identical but she never imagined she could come across any of them.
Now everything made sense to her. She had been wondering how Kenver got her boss to fire her effortlessly but now she knew. He was some K-Brother who always got what they wanted.
” You… ” Leigh-Ann gritted and pointed out her index finger at one of the brothers who stood on the stairs with both hands in his pocket.
“Miss Meyers…” Orlando called out in surprise but she didn’t wait for him to finish up as she shook her head and rushed out.
“Miss Meyers…” Orlando called from behind as he tried to catch up with her. “What are you doing?”
“I… I can’t, I know I said I was gonna do this but… with him… I I can’t” Leigh-Ann said and turned to leave. She was furious and her heart was beating so fast.
“Do you know them?” The man asked “Oh come on child, they’re the K-Brothers. Anyone in your position will do everything to keep the job”
“I don’t care. He’s a dickhead, a psycho, he’s… Urgh,” She huffed and balled her fist.
Orlando looked around and sighed not knowing what to do. The fact that she pointed her finger at one of the brothers was a big offense.
“Miss Meyers, you might want me to explain something to you. The four guys I mentioned are identical quadruplets but you’ll get to know which one is which later”
Leigh-Ann scoffed and turned to look at him “I’d rather stay jobless than live here with that bastard”
“Think of your payment, Miss Myers. The money can do a whole lot for you. You told me you wanted to complete your senior year in high school. How would you do that if you don’t accept the job huh? ”
She sighed and closed her eyes sadly. As angry as she was at the moment, she still thought of her whole plan to graduate from high school.
“You just need to know them but if you’ll accept the offer, you’ll be working for Sir Kael. Do you by chance know him?”
Leigh-Ann furrowed her brows and turned to look at him. Kael. If she was to work for Kael, then it wasn’t the other brother who she learned was named Kenver.
“I… I don’t, it’s Kenver”
The man looked around and turned back to face her. “It’s Sir Kenver. You might not be lucky next time you call them by their names”
Leigh-Ann scoffed and tried not to roll her eyes. She still had second thoughts about working for one of the brothers and suddenly felt insecure.
“Please, Let’s go in. We don’t have to keep him waiting”
She sighed despondently and followed him into the house again, feeling so nervous.
“She’s already fired” She heard once they got into the house. They turned in the direction surprised.
Kael and Kash walked down the stairs with Kael already dressed in his suit. Kael was about to leave for an important meeting and Leigh-Ann couldn’t help staring at him. At how handsome he looked all together.
But then a thought niggled at her. Did he just say she’s fired? Who the hell fires someone who hasn’t started working yet?
“Am sorry Sir but there was a little problem” Orlando said apologetically with his head bent slightly. Leigh-Ann scoffed. Why was he paying so much respect to these kids?
“And why is she looking like an old witch with ash-colored hair huh?” Kael asked once he got down the stairs. His eyes were pinned on Leigh-Ann as he kept looking her over.
Leigh-Ann flinched and dropped her head immediately. Did… did he just say that about her? She felt hurt, though she had not been expecting him to like her.
“Where in hell did you get her from?” Kash asked from the stairs. He was dressed in his pyjamas trousers and white T-shirt which meant he wasn’t going anywhere.
“She doesn’t look bad though,” Kash said again but it didn’t change the way Leigh-Ann felt about the first remark. Who was she working for anyway?
“I hate to say this but she’s ugly. I’ll have a lil mercy” Kael said and she gasped. Was she seriously working for someone who didn’t think she was beautiful?
“She’s Leigh-Ann Meyers. Leigh-Ann, meet your Master, Kael” Orlando introduced him to Leigh-Ann whose chest felt tight with hurt.
“Am leaving” Kael announced and walked out without sparing her a glance. What the hell?
She was led into the building and just before the door could close up behind her, she turned to cast a glance at one of the brothers who was heading out. He was dressed in an ash suit and that was all she saw before the door closed up.
That could not be Kenver, could it?
Gosh, she was so confused. Does it mean that the guy she had seen at the party was different from the one who got her fired?

Kael stood on the balcony going through his phone. He had just demanded a glass of wine and till now, his dumb, ugly maid was nowhere to be found.
Where did Orlando get her from? He wondered. She’s damn ugly. One of the ugliest girls he has seen in his life and to think she was now working for him turned out to be a nightmare. This was not what he envisaged.
“Hey Bro!” Kash called out “I thought I saw the ash head”
“I don’t care. Am getting her fired” Kael retorted and walked past him. He wasn’t someone who had a whole lot of patience and over time he proved that. He was getting her fired and that was it.
“I think she went South,” Kash said and Kael paused on his track. South was Kenver’s part in the mansion. Too bad Leigh-Ann doesn’t know the geography.

Kenver wasn’t home, he had left earlier for an important meeting. He came back pretty late and after having a cool bath, he sat to view the pictures of newly selected girls Greg had sent. He was interrupted by someone who kept ringing his door.
Who in the name of fuck… No one rang his door except the maids who came in to clean up and that was when he was out. His brothers never went by and he never went to theirs either. They all stayed in their different zones and only stayed together in the dining.
The door kept ringing. Angrily, he got over and pressed the control button which made it roll open only for him to find Leighie outside his door. She held a glass of wine with her head bent which got Kenver surprised. What the hell is she doing here?Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“Am sorry Sir, you demanded a glass of wine” Leigh-Ann said apologetically in her charming tone. She was dressed in the maid’s uniform and had her hair tied into a bun. She still looked beautiful to Kenver.
“Come in, you’re sure in the right room,” He smirked and stepped away from the door so she could gain entrance.
The door closed behind them and Kenver turned in time to watch her drop the glass of wine. Oh, what an ass. This meal is sure not leaving untouched, not tonight.
Leigh-Ann was nervous when she got inside the room. Gosh, it was beautiful and highly spacious. Her room back there was one-fourth of it.
After dropping the glass of wine, she turned and made to leave. If this is how the job was going to be, she had no worries cause it was pretty simple.
“What is your name?” Kenver suddenly asked, making her surprised. Her name? She had been introduced earlier when he said she was ugly. Had he forgotten that?
” I’m… I’m Leigh-Ann”
He didn’t respond and she wondered what he had on his mind. What was he thinking?
“Maybe we’ve met before, Leighie” He suddenly said and she flinched. She looked up immediately, her eyes dilating in shock. It was Kenver. How the hell did she even get here?
