Gosh! It was real bad. I hadn't expected that kind of reaction from Alvin. Obviously, it was my fault that I was found chuckling with other employee when I should be working.
But I never thought he'd give that sort of reaction. It was an amalgam of rage, annoyance, distress, and some hint of jealousy...may be.

Wait! Why would he be jealous?! No. No. No. Not jealous. Just strangely angry.

I showered for quite a long time, washing off my stress with every drop dripping from my body. It's one of the many perks of living with a great billionaire like Alvin. Not that the luxurious things fascinates me, but the simpler things you can have the benefit of enjoying is something I can always be grateful about.

I opened my closet and shockingly found a pile of expensive designer dresses hanging inside it, all of them screaming opulence and grandness. Everything was arranged so neatly as if it's kept in a museum and was prohibited to even touch. These dresses were of different shades and colors, and were arranged in an order according to their intensity.

I pulled out a drawer in the bottom which contained abundant of celebrity makeup products which I'd only dreamt about. The other drawer had deluxe lingeries of different designs and patterns --- G-string, thong, fur, cup, lacy, net, or whatnot. Everything was too much for my eyes to capture in a single moment.

My eyes shined, not due to proud but because of all the diamonds sparkling before my eyes. This drawer had tiny wooden boxes, containing lavish jewelry sets. I caress my fingers on a sleek neck band which was glittering with diamonds and had sort of unique design engraved on it. It's so beautiful. So enchanting. Surely breathtaking.

Before my mind could have exploded out of that richness, I decided to close my extravagant sliding cupboard. I picked up a sober champagne silk nighty which was the only not too exposing nightwear I found in there.

I was famished and I had to fill my stomach with something, so I headed out for dinner.

The tasty treat was already set on the dinner table and the mouthwatering aroma caught my senses. I couldn't help but headlong jump on the food. Mrs. Gibson was already standing in the corner, watching my ravenous animal side silently.

She didn't make any move forward, neither serving me food nor asking me to serve myself. Should I do it myself? Or what? I was hungry anyways, yet I decided to sit without letting a whine of hunger escape out of my mouth. I even resisted my stomach from grumbling like giant black clouds.

Suddenly, Alvin walked out of nowhere, wearing nothing more than just a blue navy pants. His chiseled face was beyond perfection. His unreal body is so tight and polished that it seemed more magnificent than the diamonds I'd witnessed. His abs and muscles were undoubtedly made in heaven, because it's no way possible for a normal human being to maintain such a flawless structure everyday. I'm sure I was not drooling. Were I?!

His gorgeous eyes met mine and something about his look suddenly changed. The heat between us escalated and I found myself struggling to breathe. My lungs were not cooperating with me, my heartbeats doing something so unrealistic inside, my empty stomach was now full of crazy butterflies dancing inside. A low moan escaped out of my mouth. I just hoped he hadn't heard that. I had to look away in order to make sure I was still breathing, and was alive.

He took a seat right opposite to mine. My eyes sank down to floor as I kept myself busy doing something abnormally with my toes. He didn't speak anything or perhaps I lost my ability to hear him anymore.

A look from Alvin was enough for Mrs Gibson to hop out from the corner and set our plates with luscious food. She left soon after she noticed us eating our food in peace.

The food was as usually delicious but now it felt like I had lost my appetite. My stomach was already filled with embarrassment and all those strange stuff. Still, I managed to munch my food silently like a baby lamb.

We sat for a good couple of minutes before his soft yet subtle voice caught me off guard as he said, "How was your second day at work?" I choked on my food.

He abruptly handed me a glass of water and just for a slight second I felt as if our skin brushed together. It was like a jolt of electricity that flickered every tiniest nerve in my body. I couldn't dare look back into his eyes, no way. "Um...It was good. I liked the company's working environment. Also, everyone is very helpful and frien---"

"Oh yes, friendly. Yes, you are right, people are quite friendly in the company," I unknowingly look back at him while he was prying me with his mysteriously evil eyes as he added, "Or maybe they just pretend to be too friendly. You never know about their intentions." He seemed nonchalant as if he was just stating a fact. His face was so stoic that it was neither moving an inch nor forming a word of doubt. He was just staring at me like a man with reason.

Blinking for a second, he started cribbing his food again while I was left with my mouth wide open.

"So, I heard you've made quite some friends there...hunn?" He took a chunk of bacon as he added, "Infact I've seen some of them all by myself, haven't I?" He smirked while acting so casual about it but it did not convince me. He kept his eyes on his food.

I know what he was doing. He was making taunts on me for being friends with a guy. And wait! What's so wrong with that anyways? It was not written anywhere in the contract that I could not be friends with anyone. Yes, it was a rule that I could not leave the house without his permissions but he himself broke that rule so nothing else mattered after it.

After gathering some courage, I replied, "Yeah. It's good to know people," I confidently looked back at him as I deliberately added, "especially those who treat you kindly and with affection."

This time he choked on his food but did not dare showing it outright. He just kept staring at me as if my words had pierced his soul from inside. The look he was giving me frightened me. I realised that I should not have said what I unintentionally or intentionally did say.

Before I could get a chance to express my apology, he grabbed my hand and got me out of my seat. He looked like an animal whose heart was not beating at all. He looked cold and dangerous in that moment. "You won't go back there? I'm firing you." He plainly stated.

What? "But---"

His eyes were dark, evil and threatening. "I said you won't go, and there's absolutely nothing I need to explain to you now." He turned around as he stepped forward to leave.

"But how can you fire like this? What did I do? Did I make any mistakes while working? Did I do something wrong to anyone? Please, don't---" I shouted back at him, almost begging him for a reply. "Tell me!" I demanded.

He turned around as he stood face to face me. Wearing just confidence and power in his face, he said, "It's about my company's reputation. I just can't let an incompetent person like you handle such a responsible position. That job belongs to somebody who knows its worth." His voice was so balanced and eloquent that I couldn't dare doubting his words.

"But I do. I do know how important this job is to me. I'm working very hard it. Can't you see that already?! I know its worth more than anybody. How can you say t---"

He stepped further as he shouted, "No! You don't. You got it because I gave it to you, and that too not like a reward but," He ran his fingers through his hair and pulled out as he added, "Gosh! I don't even know why I considered Luna's foolish idea in the first place."

I closed my eyes as I tried to accept the truth. He was right. However harsh it might sound but the truth remained unchange that I was not a deserving candidate. I did not have any qualification required to fit in for this job role. I did not deserve anything. I must not forget where I had come from and what was my individuality.

When I finally opened my eyes I noticed Alvin was now even more closer to me, yet I decided to not look back at him. He spoke in a low tone, "Firstly, I'm not getting that from you which I brought you here for. Secondly, I can't risk giving you an another headstart on the top of everything. Still, I allow you to stay in my house until our contract finally comes to an end and plus all the money." He moved back and the moment I thought he was leaving, I said something I might regret all my life for uttering it.

"I don't want your pity." Before he could interrupt me with his callous behaviour I said something I might regret it later. "What if I give you that then?! Would you let me keep working?"

It stopped him. He literally looked awestruck. "What do you mean?" He slowly made a move forward to me.

When I thought he was close enough to hearing my voice, I replied, "I mean, if I allow you to use me as per your desire."

"But you said you can't handle it. What about that?"

I did not know how to convince him to get me back to his workplace but I wanted it so badly. "I think I can handle if it's not extreme. If it does not include bondage and whips and chains and stuff."

He smiled confidently as he said, "But that's exactly what I want from you. That's exactly what I am capable of doing".

I didn't think I could argue anymore with him because I was losing myself against him. "I-I want to work, please. I could do anything for it."

"Let's make a deal then." His voice suddenly caught me off guard.

I jerked my face up to look at his coldly smug face. "What's that?"

"You would come every night to me and beg for me to have sex... "

I stood dumbtruck before him, "But, what?!"

"But if you fail to do it one night, the next night will be a little extreme for you. Hence, the more days we won't have sex, the more extreme it will become when we'll eventually have it. I may use anything I want on you if it's too many days of awaiting."

"What do you think about it?" He stood before me with his hands in either sides of his pocket. I must be serious right now but his shirtless body was distracting me.

"What if you refuse it deliberately?" I asked.

He had a lopsided smile on his face as he said, "That's the challenge, you see. But let me tell you a secret. You have no idea what you are and how hard you make me even when you are doing nothing. Absolutely nothing. So, you really don't have to do much to seduce me."

I blushed but it didn't reach my eyes because I was still perplexed about the deal I was going to make. I did not know if I could make it work. But I had to do it. I could not carry his obligation on my back. I had to do something that made me a little more than a prostitute. I had to do it because I want to earn money, not out of pity, but out of my work.

Keeping my eyes on the stock-still floor I said, "I'm down with it."

He gasped silently, closing some more distance between us as he just kept looking at me. He gently caress my skin with his cold fingers and chinned me up. "Are you sure about that?!" Am I?

I looked down to the floor again as I replied, "I don't know. But I want to work so..." The last sentence was barely a murmur.

"Look at me," Both of his hands held my face upright, keeping my eyes on him as if he wanted me to listen to him. He continued, "I promise it won't be a trouble for you if you satisfy my daily urges. Alright?!"

I didn't know what to do, what to say anymore, how to get words out of my dry mouth. I just nodded as he brought his face close to mine. His flawless features magnified and I couldn't help but stare at him curiously. His lips were so close to mine that for a moment I thought he might kiss me; he proved me wrong.

He suddenly threw me back to my world when he dropped his hands off my face. I instantly missed the warmth of his touch.

Before leaving he said, "Finish your food and go to the bed," and then he walked forward.

He paused at the doorstep and said, "I see you tomorrow in my office. Goodnight." He blurted out these words over his shoulders.

"Goodnight." I whispered under my heavy sigh of relief.

I was happy about getting the opportunity to work again but worried at the same time, whether I could withstand his sour punishments and his sweetest whims.
