I opened the door and threw myself on the couch. It was indeed an exhausting day. I was happy about what I did to him in the office. But soon my smile disappeared when I  thought of his unpredictable mood. I sighed for some time and closed my eyes. I woke up when the cook called me to have my lunch.
"Mr. Ares! Is the food of your liking?" The cook asked.
"Yes Miss Angethes! Thank you for this lovely meal."
"You need to tell me about your likings and dislikings Mr. Ares. And sorry for this morning. I didn't know that you are allergic to sea food. Thank God that Mr. Skyler stopped me before serving the food to you."
OH! Is this the reason why my stud-muffin suddenly took me to the restaurant this morning? And here, I thought he wanted to take me somewhere. Phew~~~
After I had my lunch, I took my phone and scrolled it randomly. Soon I dozed off.
In my half awoken sleep I heard the door opening. The increasing sound of the footsteps made me realize that my stud muffin was approaching near me. I shut my eyes with force to not distract him with my presence.

After a count of 4-5 minutes, I squint my eyes and surprisingly found him sitting at the far end of the couch. I instantly stood up.
"Are you feeling sleepy?" He asked me.
"I was.... but not now. What time is it?" I spoke in a coarse voice.
"Quarter past 11. Umm...I want to ask you something."
I gulped, "What?"
"What happened to you at the office today? You were distracted and seemed angry."
Did I make it so obvious? What should I reply?
"Ohh! I....I was a bit distracted and anxious from the glares of the employees. I tried to behave but..."
"Oh its fine! I can understand."
Is it? Can he really?
"Thanks for this morning." I started the conversation out of nowhere.
"Thanks? Why?"
"Miss Angethes said that you told her about my allergy." I spoke entangling my fingers nervously. "How....did you know about this?"
He smiled devilishly. Why didn't he answer that?
"Have you eaten something? Miss Angethes might have gone home now. I mean I can make you something if you want."
"No! I had something light while coming back."
"With Irsha!" I mocked in a lowered tone.
"HUH??"
"With....with your employees?" I was flashed.
"Alone."
"Oh!" Tsk! I regreted asking him the question.
I made my way swiftly to the washroom and changed myself in my night suit. Suddenly yesterday's night flashed right infront of my eyes. I gulped.
With red cheeks and thumping heart, I headed to the hallway. To my astonishment, he was still there. His face glittered from the table light next to him making me fantasize more about last night. Soon my cheeks turned red again. The scenes were fresh on my mind.
Putting both my hands on the cheeks I headed towards him. He still was focused in his unknown thoughts.
"Aren't you sleepy?"
He stroke his lips wet with his tongue before speaking and said, "Are you inviting me again?"
I was annoyed. It wasn't funny anymore. I stood there without any single movement.
"Are you going to sleep now?" He asked again.
"No! I've slept enough. I'm going to watch a movie or something right now."
He talked no more and headed to the room. Then I sat near the TV and randomly explored the films' names.
It was 15 minutes past 3. I headed towards the bedroom. I didn't lit the light as I didn't wanted to disturb him. I put on the flash light on my phone. Then I silently slipped inside the room and slowly closed the door. Swiftly I went to my bed's direction while looking at his bed. I could see a figure calmly sleeping inside the blanket. Just as I turned my head, my leg got stuck somewhere making me misbalance. And within a fraction of a second, I fell down.
I opened my eyes and peeked around. I couldn't say if I fell down and not as I found myself landing on his bed. I calmly stood up in the dark and searched for my phone. My hands freely searched within the bed sheet and the blanket. My fingers were sensible enough to feel any part of his body and I made sure not to have any accidental touch.
"Ahhh!" I screamed at the top of my voice when someone pulled my hand making me fall straight.
"What are you doing?" Eric asked in his sleepy tone.
"NO..Nothing. I ...I" I tried to get up while my hands clumsily searched for my phone.
"Want to sleep here?" He asked again.
Meanwhile I got hold of my phone and in no time the room was lit with the phone's flash.
I was awestruck to see my face near him. Immediately I stood straight.
"I'm sorry. I didn't want to wake you but my leg stumbled on something...."
Meanwhile he sat down and switched on the table lamp near him.
"... and I fell down. Then I searched for my phone as it was so dark. I searched while trying not to touch you but..." I felt like all I was giving was an excuse to what I've done. He wasn't buying anything that I said so far.
He simply laughed at me making me more annoyed. I rolled my eyes in frustration. I turned back and went to my bed.
"Tomorrow I'll be visiting our company's branch in Japan. It will be two days trip from Bangkok."
BUZZZZ  BUZZZZ His phone vibrated.
"Irsha, you have to attend the meeting with me. So pack some clothes since we won't return that day." He took a small pause and continued talking while gazing at me, "We'll be back after two  days." This time he put his phone away and continued, while his eyes still glued on me, "In case you need something, go to Miss Angethes if its related to the house and if you're going out, Mr. Bern will ascort you. And if you need some cash, ask Mr. Pablo. He manages my accounts. Also...don't do anything stupid till I come."
I had nothing to say so I kept quiet.
As I was putting on the blanket, he spoke in a mocking tone, "One more thing! You can sleep with me if you want. After all you aren't a type of pure soul anyways. Just come and lie near me. I'll make sure not to bite you."
I turned around in disbelief.
"I mean...you don't have to act this way the next time. My sleep is very precious. You have to control your unnecessary talks sometimes. Do whatever you want with your life but make sure not to muddle with me."
I was stunned as to how this person can say something so demeaning suddenly.
He laughed off after saying which made me pissed off.
I flipped the blanket in anger and holding the blanket, I stomped out of the room.
'Thud!' I closed the door and went to the living room.
Why is he so rude? How can he find satisfaction in mocking me every time?? I have patience, I know, but how much should I bear??
Putting the blanket aside on the couch, I headed to the fridge to get a beer.
Gulp! Gulp!Gulp! I took another can. Gulp!Gulp! Another one...
I drank till I was exhausted and couldn't hold any more. The next thing I realised, I comfortably laid myself on the couch and went on a deep sleep.
