"Ow!" Panda groans in pain as I flick his forehead hard.
"Tell me now, why did you do that?" I ask mercilessly as I stand over him. I have tied his wrists and ankles up and every time I feel annoyed, I simply flick his forehead.
"I told you already Tin! It was because that actress lied. You know I have a phobia of women so how can I have an affair with her? The only way to resolve the rumours was to show them something solid as proof. I could only ask you to act as a girl because I can't touch women!" He says desperately.
I frown. He held my hands during the conference and even that time before all this, we had that accident and he was fine? Am I really not a woman? I shouldn't be feeling upset.
"Young Master, are you okay..."
The door suddenly opens as the head maid enters. Her eyes turn round when she sees us.
"S-Sorry to interrupt." She says hurriedly with a red face and leaves.
"Why did she act like that?" I wonder aloud.
"You seriously don't know?" Pan asks, looking embarrassed.
"What do you mean?"
"You–"
"Pan! Why did Aunt..." Liana stares at us in shock. "Oh..."
"What is it Liana?" I ask in worry.
"No-nothing! I didn't know you two were like this..."
"Hold on, like what?" I call after her as she leaves.
"It's okay. I'm totally fine with it. Love has no boundaries." She says shyly and runs away.
"What is going on?" I say aloud.
"You're really stupid Tin." Pan says, shaking his head.
I lean towards him until my face is close to his, "You're the fool Panda! I can't believe you dragged me into your mess without mentioning anything about it in the contract!"
As I scrutinise his posture, I gasp. Did they all see him like this? Is that why they thought we were doing...
"You just realised now didn't you." Pan smirks.
"Shut up!" I say in embarrassment.
I tied him up on the bed and with him like that, the head maid and Liana must have thought we were doing something.
"Will I have to walk around with a bag over my head?" I moan.
"Not just you. Me too. Seriously, why did you suddenly tie me up without saying anything. We could have just sorted this out without creating a bigger misunderstanding."
"Well," I clear my throat, "Now you know what I am capable of so watch yourself."
"When are you going to untie me? My arms and legs have gone numb."
"Ah, s-sorry." I quickly untie the ropes from his wrists and ankles.
Maybe I tied him too securely because there are scars around the places the ropes were tied. Did I just hurt my employee? Will he cut my pay? Damn, I'm so stupid!
Worriedly, I grab his arm and pull him back to the bed.
"Sit here. I'll get the first aid box." I say as he stares at me in confusion.
Walking downstairs, I ignore the whispers and stares and get the first aid box.
I gently rub the ointment for burns and scars on the marks around his wrists with a cotton bud. I place his hand on my lap as I focus carefully. I shouldn't have hurt a rich man's body. What if he changes his mind and refuses to pay me?
His blue eyes stare at me with a strange expression as I bend down and move onto his ankles.
"Are you really a fool?"
"Wh-what did you say?" I ask in confusion, glancing up at him.
"Nothing." He shakes his head but I don't miss the small smile on his face. It's genuine and warm compared to his fake business smile.
"That's all done." I say with a satisfactory smile and stand up.
All of a sudden, he pushes me against the wall and places his arms on each side of me. What is he doing now? This crazy man is so unpredictable.
"What are you doing?" I ask nervously. He hasn't figured it out right?
"Practicing." He leans his mouth near my ear and whispers.
Shivering at his breath, I stare into his eyes. What is this?
"Practicing what?"
"Being your boyfriend of course."
My eyes stare at him in shock. Is he coming out? But no, I'm not a man! I'm a woman! So why is he acting like this?
"Why are you trembling like a frightened chicken?" He whispers with a smirk as he leans his forehead against mine. "I won't do anything to you. We're both men."
That's exactly why I'm scared!
"Um, let's not do this." I say, pushing him away.
He grabs me from behind and hugs me against him.
"Let go." I say sternly. I can't let him mess with me.
"What will you say when my parents want to see the girlfriend whom I introduced to the world earlier?" He says as his arms tighten around my stomach.
"What?!" I shout in horror. "Don't tell me I'll have to act as Flora Evian again!"
He nods, "Sorry."
"Y-you jerk!" I shriek and stamp hard on his toes. He yells in pain and finally lets go of me.
"Listen to me Tin..." He says as I leave the room, slamming the door behind me.
