Cleaning Lady

I'm self-made, but I had a boost from an inheritance, which gave me the money to get started without trying to get a loan. It also quickened my success, as otherwise it would've been restrained by the limited money of a loan and repayment requirements. So, at 33, I had succeeded now comfortable financially for my future. I own the building my business is in and use the top floor as my personal apartment: five bedrooms, three bathrooms. I employ a cleaning company to maintain the offices except my apartment. I have a housekeeper for my apartment; she makes my meal maintained my apartment. That was it until she decided to live with her sister on the other coast. With two weeks' notice, I had to find a replacement, and as luck would have it. I was working in my office later than usual when I heard two of the cleaners talking. One of the other cleaners was having a hard time surviving as their hours were cut due to other business closures they also had to maintain. She was single and had no family to assist her; she was also the youngest and was a great cook. That part caught my full attention, so I went and asked them to tell her to come and see about extra work or maybe a full-time job. I was expecting a woman in her forties. But she was 30, easy on the eye, with no tattoos like many have today. She was quiet, not shy, and asked questions about what was required. She stayed back when the others left to view my apartment and talk to my leaving housekeeper about the job. She looked at the room the housekeeper had as hers. Then said she was interested in the job; I said I'll give you a trial. She was back the next day earlier than usual, as when she told her boss she was leaving, he fired her straight away. I saw her arrive and heard of her treatment, and said she could start a week earlier, use one of the spare rooms till my housekeeper left. A week later, my housekeeper left as planned, and I was alone with my new housekeeper. I hadn't really thought about all that much in mean time. I was too busy for that; I rarely saw her during the day, as I was at work, she was in the apartment. What changed that was a large contract I had been trying for came my way. But it was short notice; I needed to go and sign the contract and meet the owners, which included a dinner and staying overnight in a hotel. But I'd no girlfriend or even a relative I could take. Other times I took someone from the company, but they needed more notice than just two days. It was then I saw my housekeeper, my light bulb moment: I could take her. She could get her hair, get whatever else and clothes she needed; I would pay. So, I asked; she agreed, and she got a dinner dress and a quick makeover; it was called. She looked fantastic; I'd booked a suite at the hotel, so we left to finalize the contract and have dinner. One change occurred after our arrival. We were invited to a barbecue the next evening, which meant staying another night and returning Sunday morning. We enjoyed the dinner, and the barbecue had a little too much to drink at the barbecue and returned to our suite still in a party mood. Like they one thing led to another, and we became lovers. Not planned or regretted by us both, we have continued our relationship since. Even as far as getting engaged; she is still my housekeeper. But she is already making one room into a nursery. She wants a family asap. I don't blame her for wanting a family, having none of her own. My family loves her, and my mother is helping plan a small wedding just for close family due to her having no living family members; just 30 to 40. My family is large.
