Chapter-36

Seth's POV:

I punched the punching bag in furry remembering Robert's words. That f*cker wants to pay me!!!

Ha!!! I will kill him before that....

If I could just kill him right now, I would use him as fertilizer for my garden. I saw Vanessa walking in with juice and my dinner.

Yea... Maybe like a crazy person I am wending my anger on these lifeless things, Vanessa was looking around not noticing my gaze.

She has no survival instincts; she clearly forgets her surrounding admiring things. How does she lived all these time alone?

She is on this floor of the palace for the first time. There is a gym, pool, theater on the other side.... A party area.... and more....

I changed each and everything here, with lot of time and money.

I walked to her, taking the juice from table. I said, "Done gazing at everything....."

She looks at me like a dumb hen, She whispered, "Is it crime to look around?.... I should really close my eyes while walking?" She taunted.

She is getting way more comfortable.

I won't lie, it's her nature, she always had this foul mouth.

I sat down having my dinner. She whispered, "Should I take my leave?"

Why is she ready to run a mile away from me? Do I have fangs or something?.... It's not like I am vampire, and anyways anyone will get diabetes by the amount of sugar she eats every day, her blood will be low quality.

I took a bite of the sandwich, why is sandwich for dinner anyways?

I want to complain when I heard her high pinch scream. She was jumping like a monkey. She screamed as she was almost doing this tap dance, she jumped on me as I was on the couch.

I am surprised, but I grabbed into her supporting her. She buried her head in my chest embracing my neck. She was shaking, I heard her whispers, "F*cking mouse!!!!... F*CKIGN MOUSHE!!!!!" she screamed the last part.

I noticed a tiny thing running with speed of light away at the end pillar. I embraced her as she asked, "It left right!!!!.... just kill it!!!!!!"

Now 'Loc Ness monster' is ordering me, it should be the other way around.

I felt her thin waist, then I thought I must thank that little thing for appearing out of nowhere.

She looked around trying to spot the mouse, she whispered, ".... Where is it...."

I taunted, "It is 50 gm at its fattest.... and you are about 52 kg least, he should be the one terrified by those stomps!"

She looked at me angry, but her face got closer to me. My eyes were fixing on her lips, I want to claim them. I know this is not me, but damn!!! look at those plump lips shivering!

I subconsciously pulled her little close wanting to kiss her properly. But she moved back sitting on the chair next to me.

She folded her feet, preventing touching the ground. She was looking at ground trying to find the tiny threat.

She whispered looking at me, "You should call pest control...."

Na! they are quite useful I guess.

I passed her the cake she brought earlier with dinner. She looked at my face with questions.

I whispered, "How much food you got!!!... You surely think of me as elephant?.... finish this, I don't like sweets..."

She still was hesitant.

This sweet treat might ease my pet's fear a little. Like you distract children from their pain with chocolate.... same logic.

I warned, "I don't want any food waste in my palace, do you know how much salary the chief takes..."

She took the plate looking at me weirdly, glaring exactly.

I said taking a bite of my food, "Finish it quick..."

After few minutes I saw her taking small bite out of the cake, as she was still searching for any mouse crawling on the floor.

I didn't knew we had them here, but I am not complaining.... She is rarely this terrified of something....

As soon as I thought that, memory of her anxiously whispering her fear came in my mind. Why that thing is still in my mind?...

It's none of my business..... It's her problem that she got harassed before and before.... why it lives in my mind!!!!

I had a glance at her she was silently having her time eating some more sweet, and when I even realized she eats too much sugar?

I am must be insane?

She looks fine now and then.... but what happened that day? If she is that pathetic weak then where she manages to get all this strength to carry that attitude everyday....

She is indeed weird.

Vanessa's POV:

I stood near Martha as she doing some records of maids, like who worked how many hours and stuff.

So, indeed maids are allowed to have limited day offs, then why did Seth always says I am not allowed have one, Only day off I had when I was unconscious in fever!

He is so cruel to me.

What I even did to him?

My subconscious reminded, "You picked fight on him every day when you were in school....."

I cleared myself, he was pain in my life, Grandma won't stop bragging about him, he is smart, he is good in sports... he surely is talented!... He is handsome!!!

Look at him now Grandma, he is just an arrogant Man..... Yea... I was jealous he was too perfect for a student, no wonder he was pretending.

My subconscious taunted, "No one can pretend to get good marks unless he is smart....."

I spited at myself, Yea....and I am just a pretty dumb popular girl! Happy! Self criticism is destructive. He is Ruthless criminal And I am kind... I won!

My subconscious reminded again, "He is billionaire because he is ruthlessly smart and you are his mere maid because you stupidly kind!"

I cried internally defeated.

AH!!!!! I hate myself!

I should focus on work, I said looking at my watch, "I should wake up Mr. Morris.... he is getting late..."

Martha said doing the records, "He is gone since midnight.... Not sure when he will return..."

Hu?

I didn't know that, he is not in palace.

Wow!

Wait.... Robert?... I can't be alone with him, he is going to annoy the sh*t out of me!!!! I am tired of ignoring him at this point.....

I know, at this time, I have more awkward encounters with Seth than Robert but I want to minus one because I can't avoid Seth. That's out of my hands!

I whispered, "And... Mr. Salvador...."

Martha said further, "They both went together..."

I smiled whispering, "Wow... day off..." I noticed Martha was having a glance at me, I whispered, "I... I mean....everyone needs day off... once in a while..."

Martha sighed, she said, "Only after you finish cleaning his study and room..... but still it will be unofficial day off..."

I smiled nodding, I whispered, "You are really kind Martha....."

She got up slowly, she said, "Get to work..."

I am sick of hearing this phase 'Get to work', Like he says the same thing again to me, even when someone else says it I am sick of it!!!!!!!... I am feeling kind of lazy today.

Hour later, I finally cleaned his room, but I am so not in mood. I still have to clean his study, why can't he let any other maid do that!!!! Only me or Martha!!! Now Martha has a replacement, she tried to pass this to me.

What I am saying, she is old, probably in her late 50s... It's not fair for her to do these jobs. I am such a bad person!

It took long enough for me to clean his study, I noticed it's already evening. I landed on his couch in his study, I was right in front of his tv too.

I know usually that hulk sits here enjoying his entertainment, but let's be real this sofa is the best I ever saw, I can make a bed out of it if I arranged it right. Plus it will be still bigger than my current bed.

So, I am not missing an opportunity. He is not here, so how would be know I am sitting on his place?

It gives me feeling like I am wining something over him.

I notice his tv remote. I took it like I was offered some kind of amusement, How long it's been since I saw any show!

He won't notice right?

I smiled, I know I am dumb but who cares, Seth is not here, he won't know if I use his things?

I switched the tv on, Soon I was scrolling some channels. I sat comfortably watching a show, I felt so relaxed. I am just enjoying time of life.... This small things give me happiness now...

I spent like hours or so.... when the show was about to end I heard a voice, "The dumb blond will win"

I whispered in that flow, "No... The black hair lady will win!"Realization hit me the next second.

I turned in horror seeing Seth sitting at the other end of the sofa looking at me while his eyes clearly glared at me.

I gulped. I so scared that I can't move. Seth smirked saying, "Wow.... You make me question..... if you are my staff or here for vacation...."

I whispered, "I...I ...."

He raised his eyebrow, when he walked in anyways? He walks like ghost for what! Maybe I was too much invested in the tv that I forgot my senses. I didn't even noticed he was sitting beside me, for how long he was here anyways?

I heard him say, "The dumb blond won...."

I am dead!!!!!

He snatched the remote from me, I just pressed my lips together. What is he going to do with me!

Should I apologize?

No!!!! Not to this rotten jerk!!!!!

Seth switched off the tv, he looked at me asking, "So.... where you carry this bravery or are you just stupid?!"

I looked at his fierce eyes, I whispered, "It's not like your tv is broke.... I just watched it little, why you are over reacting!"

I said the last part loud!

Seth pulled me to himself, I said, "Hey!!! respect distance!!!"

Seth said moving closer, "Respect my personal belongings!"
