As you step into the dimly lit cabin, the soft crackling of a fire greets your ears. The room is warm and cozy, but there's an underlying tension that prickles at your skin. You take a deep breath and steel yourself for your first day working for Lennox Crawford.
Rumors have circulated about the man, painting him as an unfriendly and tyrannical master who makes his staff and neighbors' lives miserable. But Leah, the previous maid whose child is now sick and in the hospital, had only kind words to say about him.
Your gaze falls upon Lennox's broad back as he crouches by the fireplace, poking at the logs with a metal poker. Even from behind, he exudes a cold aura that sends shivers down your spine. As if sensing your presence, he turns towards you with sharp, piercing eyes.
"Are you the new girl?" His voice is cold and sharp, stopping you in your tracks as you make your way towards the kitchen. "Make sure everything is spotless," he commands without waiting for your response. "I won't tolerate any mess."
As he slowly stands up to his full height, you can feel the weight of his gaze on you. His eyes are like chips of ice, leaving no doubt in your mind that this will not be an easy job under his watchful eye.
For the sharp-tongued tech mogul, the snowy mountain cabin is his winter sanctuary. But his solitude shatters with the arrival of his new maid—you—on your very first day on the job.
