Chapter 106 - One Hundred And Six : Relieved Of Your Services (1/2)

Maya's POV

I swear I'm never drinking again.

I felt sick to my stomach and the urge overwhelmed me so much that I jumped out of the bed, racing to the toilet like a fox whose tail was set on fire.

I bent over and vomited everything into the toilet bowl while using one of my hands to gather back my hair which tried to get in the way.

By the time I was done, my stomach was empty, my throat raspy, and aching from retching too much. Exhausted, I leaned against the tiled toilet wall before sliding to the ground.

I was so hungover, I felt like dying. Being in a foul mood today was a given, judging from the splitting headache and body aches I was experiencing right now.

I cursed out loud when a knock sounded on the door. Who was it this early morning?

Oh right, I was still in Sakuzi's place.

Though the bed was empty when I woke, it couldn't be Niklaus on the door. The Niklaus I know wouldn't knock but walk in, so it could only be Sakuzi's people.

I groaned out loud when memories of last night flooded my mind plus the nonstop knocks on the door weren't doing me any good.

Lethargically, I rinsed my mouth and made it to the door but wasn't really surprised when I found out it was one of the maids.

”What is it? ” I asked, irritated.

”Good morning ma'am, your presence is requested ”

”Alright,” I told her, inwardly I had already planned to go lay back on the bed. They didn't exactly specify the time my presence was needed right - exploiting that loophole, how smart of me.

Planning to shut the door close, I was surprised when she added,

”And this ” She brought a tray containing a cup of hot coffee to my notice ”Sir Niklaus said you should have this ”

I shook my head, ” I don't think I can stomach that at the moment ”

The maid smiled ” He knew you would say that, so he told me I should tell you that drinking coffee acts as a stimulant, and helps with the grogginess ”

That sounded a lot like the nerdy side of Niklaus but I might die if I drink that.

”Still no. ” I refused.

The maid still persisted ” He knew you would say that and told me specifically 'Shove it down her throat if that stubborn ass still refuses ' ”

I frowned, that definitely came from Niklaus, no need to be suspicious. And whenever he uses that tone, he means it.

”Fine, I'll drink it ” I grumbled, took the mug from the tray, and tried to shut the door but the maid put her leg in the way.

My brows raised questioningly.

”He instructed me 'Make sure she finishes everything, not even a drop should remain and confirm it with your eyes ' ”

I groaned and ran my hand through my hair vexed. How did this guy know me so well? After taking just a few sips of the coffee, I was planning on getting rid of the rest.

I bit my lips with an annoyed expression ”Fine! ” and brought the coffee to my lips, the tantalizing smell wafting into my nostrils.

I hoped it tasted as good as it smelt, the last time I tasted his coffee, it was insanely bitter thanks to Izzy's prank.

” Mmm,” I couldn't help but moan when the liquid went down my throat, the taste was heavenly.

I had to give it to Niklaus though, he was really good at making coffees. If he quits his job as a CEO and sets up a coffee shop, he would really make millions out of it.

Though I wasn't much of a coffee lover I wouldn't mind waking every moment of my life to his coffee - what the hell was I saying? Both of us weren't together anymore.

My mood turned sour and the rest of the coffee in my mouth somehow tasted like shit but I swallowed them down.

”Done. Anything else? ” I said with a sarcastic tone and handed the mug back to her.

”He instructed that you should take a glass of water since coffee is a diuretic and aggravates dehydration and - ”

” And what again? ” I interjected.

Why was he so bossy this morning?

”You have less than fifteen minutes to get your ass down cause I'm leaving or you can spend the rest of your life here ” The maid conveyed with a tone and demeanor that was comically similar to Niklaus'.

”Duly noted, ” I said to her and slammed the door shut, albeit not in her face.

It wasn't her fault I was feeling crappy this morning, no one had forced me into drinking - even though she was the same maid that served the wine yesterday.

I eyed the bed, it was so tempting, I wanted to have just a little rest but having known Niklaus' attitude, he would probably storm into the room and get my ass moving.

So I ignored the bed, took a glass of water instead as he instructed, and went into the shower.
