Chapter 6 - 6

Chapter 6: CHAPTER 6

W-what? He wanted her to stay in this dreamlike house with him until those marks on him disappeared? Wait... would that not take quite a long time?! Both the bite mark and hickey, if left to heal on their own, would take at least seven to ten days or all the way up to two weeks. And from the little that she had interacted with this man, he would definitely drag it for the whole two weeks. That means a whole fourteen days!

Eva blinked and her mouth gaped open in shock, very similar to a fish that had jumped and landed out of water. She could not believe what he had just said. But slowly, the surprised look on her face eventually turned into suspicion. This man... he most definitely should be joking around with her. He was playing with me again, right? Eva thought, insisting to herself that there was no way this kind of man, who could live in such a luxurious mansion, was serious about what he just said. Right...?

She turned her eyes to him and stared at him with a serious gaze now. Her expression had since changed from that somewhat silly and adorably shocked open-mouthed expression to becoming all strict and business-like again.

'Right, I'm sure that anytime now, he is going to laugh the moment I fall for his joke!' She told herself confidently as she focussed her gaze on him, observing his facial expressions closely as she waited for his laugh to erupt which would indicate that he was kidding the whole time.

However, stare as she might, that laughter that she had expected did not come. He had just stood there, looking at her with the same unchanging calm expression. It was as though he was still waiting for her response to his earlier proposition and Eva finally creased her brows. What?! Was he really serious about that condition? He was not joking?!!

Her lips parted and her palms started getting a little damp as she felt nervousness running through her veins. She was speechless. She had fully prepared herself to be slapped with some serious compensation for her slip up, but he had just wanted her to... wait... Wait a minute!

Eva could only stand there and look at him, talking to herself inwardly. M-maid? So he was actually planning to make me his temporary maid? Is he even serious?! She was screaming out in her mind.

"Any more questions Miss Eva? Don't tell me that you aren't satisfied with my conditions? You're not going to tell me you would rather me bed you than have you stay with me and accompany me, are you..." He trailed off when she glared harder at him.

And he flashed that devilish smile of his again, causing her to not help but lose her composure for a moment. She was currently wishing for nothing better than to strangle his very sexy neck!

"Fine." she bit out curtly and immediately, within the safe confines of her mind, she slapped her own forehead. God dammit! Why do I feel like this sly devil is tricking me? But... I do not really have a choice here, right? I have not seen anyone else inside this huge house aside from him. Could it be that he is really all alone and...

'Alright, relax Eva... just calm down. No point getting your panties in a bunch. Let us go with the flow for now and just stay alert. We can play it by ear.' Eva talked to herself and her internal monologue helped calm her down somewhat.

Read in advance on my pa-treon.
