Arrogant Billionaire: Love vs Hate

Chap. 14

"Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it."

"I'm sorry Tina, I have to go. My shift have been started. I'll talk to you later" I said standing up and adjusting my maid outfit.

"Ok Andy. Talk to you later then" Tina said with a smile and went to her room.

I was dreading the thought of facing Mark again. Though he went a bit easy on me, but still I was not willing let my guard down around him, he was an unpredictable person. His moves and plans were unforeseeable, so my conscience was warning me to be careful around him.

Some part of me wanted to teach him a good lesson for forcing me to be his maid, but I knew provoking him right now would cause more problems for me only. So sane side of my mind decided to act professionally and impassively around him and get over with three hour torture peacefully.

After taking deep breaths and composing myself I went to upstairs toward Mark's room. His door was closed so I softly knocked it.

"Come in" I heard a deep voice from inside.

My feet stuck at one place hearing his voice. Composure I gained a few minutes ago was completely gone and my palms started sweating profoundly with nervousness.

Come on Andy don't be a scaredy-cat. Just go inside already. Composing myself again and ignoring all the nervousness I finally went inside his room.

Mark was sitting on his bed wiping his wet hair with a towel. I guess he just came out of a shower. He was dressed casually in a trouser and his defined abs were on the show through his body fitted t-shirt. His black hair were messy. I didn't wanted to admit it, but he was extremely handsome. Snap out of it.

I cursed my mind for checking him out. No matter how gorgeous he was, he was still a devil. As soon as his eyes met mine his usual evil smirk was back. How I wish I could slap him.

"That outfit really suits you nerd" he said with an amused expression.

"Thank you Mr. Winston" I said gritting my teeth, to stop myself from saying something rude.

"So should I call you maid or nerd?" he asked nonchalantly.

"Call me anything. I don't care either ways" I said impassively.

"Ok then, I'll stick to nerd, it suits you better. But why aren't you wearing your granny glasses?" he asked. He was clearly trying to provoke me.

"Those are not granny glasses you moro-"cough cough "Mr Winston" I said through gritted teeth.

I was thankful to lord for saving my slipping tongue on time, but he raised an eyebrow and gave me a look that said 'I knew what you were trying to say'.

"Haven't you called me in for some task?" I asked ignoring his look.

He thought for a brief second and replied "Just tidy this room for now".

Following his instruction I started tidying his room. From my peripheral vision I felt his gaze on me. I got nervous all of the sudden. But I decided to ignore it and went back to my work.

I sighed in relief as I completed tidying the whole room after ten minutes. Then I realised the only thing left is his bed in which he was sitting. I turned around and saw him busy with his laptop. I went towards his bed and stood at its side.

"Would you mind, if I tidy this bed?" I asked him pointing towards his bed.
He nodded and stood up.

As I bent down to start my work, he trapped my leg with his and pulled it backwards. I fell flat on my face in his bed. Thanks to heavens his bed was soft and fluffy and I didn't hurt my nose. I sat on the bed and gave him a murderous glare.
