Pregnant For The Royal Prince

In Need Of A New Maid 2



ZAINA walked into the kitchen with covered plates of food in her hands. She walked up to the microwave, opened it and placed the plates in it, then she turned it on.

She stood by the counter and waited. The food in the microwave was her dad’s, it was his dinner.

He had already settled down to eat when he returned that evening, only to get an emergency meeting call from the palace.

He then told her mother to keep the meal aside, so he could answer the call, and he left.

That was about an hour ago, now he was back and seated at the dining table, ready to eat, and so, she had to warm up the food in the microwave.

She stood by the counter waiting and her thoughts traveled. School had been hectic for her since Rina left, anyways, it was just three weeks and she would finally be leaving high school.

She had done all the best she could to make sure Rina didn’t do anything stupid, called her, visited and all that. And she’s damn sure she was perfectly alright.

Minutes later, it was done. She carefully opened the microwave and took out the plates, then she closed it back.

She placed the plates on the counter, and went to get a tray. When she found one, she placed the plates in it, then walked up to the fridge and took out a bottle of chilled water, and a juice.

She also singled out a glass tumbler from the cup rack, then carefully arranged all these in the tray.

Suddenly she paused thinking, the cutleries and table napkin were already on the dining table, she waved that aside.

Picking up the tray, she walked out of the kitchen, and towards the dining.

She got to the dining and met her mother, Sarika, setting the table. Her dad wasn’t there, he had gone to the living room. She placed the tray on it, and together with her mom, set the meal, then she walked out.

“Honey”, Sarika called, “dinner is ready”, she added.

He got up from the couch without ado and walked to the dining. He sat and she gave him a bowl of water to wash his hands.

When he was done, he picked up his cutleries and began watering his gullets.

“So why were you called to the palace?” She asked taking a seat opposite him.

He swallowed the chewed food in his mouth, picking up the glass of water.

“An emergency meeting”, he shortly replied.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Emergency meeting?” Her eyes widened.

“What could have prompted that?” She asked, refilling the glass.

“The Princess’s personal maid was fired by the Prince this evening”.

“What! For a prince to fire a maid himself… oh jeez, it must be a serious issue”.

He nodded.

“Very”.

“So what exactly were you called for? Were you the only one called?”

“I and one other, just the most important persons of the council. Well, we were called to be informed that a new maid is needed right now”.

“So it is something like a vacancy?”

“Yeah, it’s my department though, to put up the vacancy and interview those who apply”, he drank from the juice glass.

Zaina who walked in like two minutes ago unnoticed, heard everything. She smiled.

“Dad?” She called and they both turned to her.

“Yes dear?”

“Um, what are the procedures to take for one to be employed?” She asked.

“Huh? Are you trying to take up the job?” Her mother asked, wideyed.

She smiled and shook her head.

“No mum, asking for someone”.

“Oh, you have someone?” Her father asked.

“Yeah”, she nodded.

“Alright, it won’t be that tedious though, since I’m the one standing”, he drank some water.

“When you are ready, I’m going to give you a form for her to fill”.

Yuppie! Just like that? Wow, she grinned.

“Alright dad, I’m gonna inform her”.

“I hope it’s not a child?”

She and her mom glanced at themselves and bursted into laughter.

“No daddy, she is a grown lady. Gosh! How can I bring a child?” She asked rhetorically.

“Well…”, he shrugged.

“Thank you daddy”, and she happily walked out.

She hopes this really works, she hopes.

Rina sat in the living room busying herself with studying when a car screeched to a halt outside.

She looked through the window and spotted a sky blue coloured Ferrari, she sighed, that was Zaina.

This was exactly the third time she had visited in that week. She remained indoors and waited for her to come up.

Zaina came out of the car and smoothened her short red designer gown, then looked around.

She turned to her chauffeur.

“Just wait for me in the car this time sir, I won’t be long”.

The middle aged man nodded and she walked up to the house. She got to the door and knocked.

“Come in girl… seen you”, Rina said from inside.

She smiled and turned on the door knob, then entered.

“Yo girl”, she said, flashing her thirty two.

“What’s up?” She replied from where she sat reading.

Zaina walked up to her.

“Bookworm”, she said laughing.

Rina shrugged.

“What else can a girl do?” She asked, turning to look at her.

“Good heavens, I love your gown Zaina… wow!” She complimented.

Zaina smiled, waving her right hand over her shoulder.

“I feel like a queen now”, she laughed.

“Oh come on you should feel more than that”, she said looking her over,

“It’s beautiful,” she added.

“Thank you”, she replied, smiling. “I think I will have to get you one, or would you prefer I give you this one?” She asked.

Rina sighed.

“Come on Zaina, I was only complimenting, I wasn’t asking for one”, she rolled her eyes.

She laughed.

“I know”.

She shook her head.

“No you don’t, virtually all the clothes in my wardrobe were given to me by you in this manner, do you want me to open a boutique?”

Zaina bursted into laughter as she sank into the couch.

“If that would make you happy”, she said.

“No, you better not, thanks”.

“If you say so, how is mom?” She shrugged.

“Mom is fine, gone to the mart. You visited the day before yesterday, and you are here again, what is the matter?” She asked.

“Oh, you don’t want me to visit you anymore right, alright”, she got up and began walking away.

Rina laughed and got up to go after her. She held back her hand, laughing.

“Come on, I was just joking, pretty head”, she said.

Zaina looked at her, then turned back to the couch and they both sat.

“Guess my reason for coming here?” She asked.

Rina cracked her brain.

“That you finally would be going on a vacation”, she said.

Zaina shook her head in the negation.

“Nah”.

“Alright, you already planned for your college”, she beamed.

“Uh uh, not that”, she shook her head.

“Okay”, Rina sighed and cleaned her face with her hands.

“You have finally seen the Prince and know what he looks like”.

“Nope”.

“Then what?” She gave up.

“Don’t give up easily”, Zaina said laughing.

“I give up on this one please”, she said.

Zaina laughed.

“Alright… alright. I… got you a job”.

Huh? Her eyes twitched, job? For who at this age?.

“Job?” She slowly asked.

“Yes, don’t you like the idea? I mean staying home all day… you can actually start earning some money now”.

Rina exhaled.

“Hmm, it’s fine. So which job?”

“Well, a palace maid was fired yesterday by the Prince”.

“What? The Prince himself?”

“Yeah”, she nodded.

“So what do you want me to do?”

“Rina”, she took hold of her hands, “the palace needs a new maid, I need you to take up that job”.

What!
