Chương 6: Awkward Criminals
"If I choose the rope, will I be tying you to my bedpost with it? though I'm more of a handcuffs guy but I'll manage," Richard replied nonchalantly, he knew she was bluffing; at least he hoped she was.
Skylar nose flared as she took deep breaths. She wanted to smack the hell out of his smug face.
"Why are you just standing there? is my face that attractive?" Richard asked with a smirk on his face.
"Arrgghhh, I'll kill you, you arrogant bαstαrd!" Skylar screamed.
She dropped the knife and rope leaped at him, grabbed him by the collar and shook him but he was too strong for her. He took both of her hands in his hands, thereby freeing himself.
She was hovering over him and her knees were astride him. When Richard noticed their awkward position, he let go of her hands, making her fall on top of him. The whole situation became more awkward as Skylar tried to untangle her soaked body from his. Seeing her struggle, Richard helped her as she stood up.
"Uh, um... I'll go and freshen up," Skylar stammered, she awkwardly ran her hands through her hair and left as fast as she could, leaving the knife and rope there.
Skylar ran to her quarters as quickly as she could, her face was flushed from embarrassment. She sat on the bed and screamed into a pillow.
'I can't believe I made a complete fool of myself in front of that idiot! Worst of all, I threatened him. I might as well start packing my bags and pray he would still give me a recommendation after he fires me.
Cool breeze blew into the room, making her shiver, only then did she realize she was still in damp clothes. She took off the clothes and prepared to go take a shower.
Meanwhile, in the living room, Richard paced around, clouded in his thoughts.
"What just happened? I can't believe I made her fall on me like a pervert, which I'm not, most of the time, arrghh!"
Richard was frustrated, he didn't know how to make things less awkward.
'Is this what it feels like to be around a girl? hmm, I still don't even know her name. Maybe I should ask her, it's a good conversation opener, I think.'
Richard went to the mansion's staff quarters to talk to Skylar. As he opened her door, his eyes was met with the voluptious curve of a female.
"Damn, you're not a girl, you're a woman!" Richard thought out loud.
"Arrghh! What the hell are you doing here?" Skylar screamed as she reached for her towel to cover her body dripping with water.
Richard realized the situation he just made and tried to make this better; "I'm sorry, I wasn't looking, I just wanted to ask for your name," he explained and just after he did that, he realized how unbelievable he sounded.
"My name? really? that's so low, even for you!" Skylar retorted. She couldn't believe the audacity of this man.
"I'm not lying, you never told me your name and I didn't mean to stare at you"
"Like hell you didn't, get out!" Skylar ordered, pointing towards the door. Richard left feeling miserable.
'so much for making things less awkward'
Skylar locked the door and dressed up hurriedly. She began packing up her belongings which she had only unpacked that morning.
"I can't even keep a job for one damn day, what does that say of me?" she muttered as she emptied the wardrobe. "I also have, scratch that, had a peeping Tom for a boss." She was distraught when an idea came to her.
Running into the mansion, she saw Richard on the kitchen stool, pouring himself a drink.
"I... I have a proposal for you," Skylar said while panting from her short run. "How about you let me keep my job and I don't mention your peeping episode"
"I wasn't peepi... wait, keep your job?"
"Yes, I know it's absurd that I threatened your life and I'm asking you not to take actions besides you just invaded my privacy; which is also a crime by the way, so we're even."
Richard never actually thought of firing her, which he felt was more absurd; seeing as he was trying to make her leave. He also knew that she had no proof of harassment but he still went along with it.
"You drive a hard bargain and I'm going to accept on the condition that you follow my rules."
"And what are they?" she asked.
"First, tell me your name."
