After a lot of contemplation and wasting so much time I stood in front of his door. This was the only door on the entire floor. I patted my jeans pocket lightly to see the thing I had borough with me for my safety is there. Then I checked the phone in which I kept the police number on speed dial. But still, I wasn't able to knock on the door or ring the bell. I looked at the time on my phone and it was 6:15.

I knocked on the door lightly once hoping he is not at home or won't open the door. With a sigh, I turn around to leave if he will ask me I will say that I came but he didn't open the door. I was about to enter the lift when the door opened behind me and someone cleared their throat.

"Come in," he said and left the door open as he went inside, with a groan I turn around and enter inside.

"Close the door," he said from somewhere and I trembled in fear and closed the door with shivering hands. I turn around to take in my surroundings and my mouth widens in astonishment at the beauty of the place.

When you enter you met with a foyer a round table is placed in the centre with a glass vase present on it. Above it was a huge chandelier, then when I walk in I was met with a huge living room with glass-to-floor windows. There was an L-shaped huge couch in the middle and on one wall there was a huge Led covering almost half of the wall.

Oh, the right side was a huge open kitchen almost the size of my room. On the left side was a balcony with a swimming pool and I gasped when I saw the open sky.

"Wow" I was awed as I took in the small detail of this luxurious and beautiful place. There were stairs leading up. And there was also a hallway with few closed doors down here.

"You done?" He asked and I jumped as I heard his voice from beside me. I blushed at being caught staring at the penthouse.

"Yes... " I looked down at the floor, it was white marble. I sensed him coming close to me and I looked up instantly as he was looking straight at me. He was too close for my liking, I immediately stepped back and pushed my hand into my pocket tightening my hold around the small bottle of pepper spray. If he tries to do something I will teach him a lesson.

His gaze followed my movement and he scoffed as he turn around and walked towards the kitchen. I followed him slowly and stopped at the threshold.

"My maid is not coming this week, she got sick," he said and I looked at him confused. Why is he telling me that? He stood in front of a sink which was filled with dirty plates and glasses.

"I want you to help me for this week," he said nonchalantly and I glared at him.

"Do I look like a maid to you?" I gritted out in anger forgetting who am I talking to right now.

He looked me up and down for a moment as if scrutinising me. I fumed with anger when I realized what he is doing.

"No, but you would do," he said and then walked towards the refrigerator as he pulled out a can of soda and opened it. I thought he is opening it for me, I was about to tell him that I won't take anything from him but the next moment he started sipping and I closed my mouth feeling a little embarrassed.

"You are... impossible" I stopped myself before I say something bad.

"You have already wasted plenty of time standing in front of the door, now get to work. You also have to clean the whole living room and also wash my clothes" he said and I was baffled. Does he think I am a maid?
