Pain

Episode 11

"Zoey; what do you think?" Pimento asked in a low key and Zoey just shrugged.

Pim covered her mouth with her palm and sighed. She was so nervous.

Pim can't believe May wants her to meet up in her room.

"Well, one thing's for sure, nanny; M-M isn't gonna eat you up. I'll be waiting for you in the dining" Zoey said and walked away and Pim became stranded.

She rubbed her palms together and breathed out heavily before going to the door.

She dallied a little and knocked and her soft frostiness voice spoke from inside:

"Come in"

Pim slowly opened the door and went in and her eyes shone at the sight she had beheld.

Oh, my gee! Was this really a room?

It had a king sized bed and the room entirely had a black color.

The floors were on marble tixe and it was a picture of the sky.

"Incredible!" Pim said.

There was a big wardrobe beside the bed and a big table of cosmetics and deodorants! Pim found a lot of glittering jewelries and wristwatch in another glass wardrobe.

"How is she able to wear all this jewelries?" Pim question herself.

The room was very cold and had a Swiss flower fragrance.

On the king sized bed were three laptops and two phones. And on the table were two apple laptops and three phones.

What?

Seriously?

There was a big keyboard and guitar by the right. Pim saw May sitting on the edge of the bed, backing the door.

She held her pet - Tidy -and played with his head.

Pim acted like she wasn't aware of Pimento presence as she continued patting the dog which laid quietly in her hands.

Then after a short while, she spoke up.

"I want you out of here, Pim" she spoke calmly, still backing Pim and concentrating on her dog.

Pim eyes widened and her hands shook.

Did she hear him correctly?

"Just tell me what you want" she continued.

"I'll pay you triple of the money my aunty has agreed to pay you. You're still gonna go for the training on music in the studio and I'll make sure you become one of the best musicia. I can give you cars, estates, houses, send you to any best music school, anything you want Just ask for it.

All I want is for you to get out of here. Quit the nanny job and leave". May softly said.

Pimento stood gaping, staring at May from behind.

Her head was spinning.

"Oh my God! Is this the reason she wanted to see me? To tell me to get out of here? To stay away from her?

But why's she chasing me away? Why does she hate ladies so much? But she doesn't hate her friends but when it come to other of her kind she dislike them why?"

And how can she ask me to do such a difficult thing?" Pim complain to herself.

Pim don't think she want to leave. Although she promised to do everything Mrs. Linda has agreed to do for her. But leaving in May favor might look like a betrayal to Mrs Linda.

Mrs Linda needs her help and she've also gotten to like Zoey who likes her as well.

How can she leave them now?

Pim bent her head in torture she knew May was waiting for an answer.

But what will she say?

"Miss May" Pim called and paused, sniffling a little.

"I...I'm sorry, but...I'm not sure I can do what you asked for. You see, it's not like I wanna disobey you or something, but...your aunt...she really needs my help. And I don't want to betray her." She said calming, her heart beating heavily.

May stopped playing with the dog.

Great Lord! Pim plead.

May slowly laid the dog on the floor and stood up, going to face the window.

She crossed her hands at her back and stared outside through the window, Pim could now have a side view of her face.

A little part of the morning sun rested on May's face.

May took in a deep breath. "If you really want to stay here" she said calmly.

"Then, so be it. But, from today onwards, i want you to stay far from me. Evade anything that involves me. Don't touch me or anything I'm likely to touch. Don't ever talk to me.

And just have this in mind, I dislike you."

The last cruelly word hit Pim badly, coursing hot tears forming in Pimento eyes.

"Is that understood?" May asked, Pim kept mute, trying not to shed a tear.

May turn to look at Pim the first time since she stepped into the room.

"Is that understood?" She asked again this time around, her voice came out a more cold.

Pim sniffed and didn't realise a tear was already rolling down her cheek.

"Y..yes" Pim replied in a breaking voice, she tried not to stare at May.

May took his eyes back to the window and didn't say any other thing.

Pimento figured May were done with the topic.

She turned around and left the room, releasing more hot tears.
