"Did you just address my as your boss without me coercing you to do so?" Aiden asked obviously surprised.
"Well are you surprised that I can be so well mannered boss? I wasn't born on the streets, hope you're aware?",Aira asked sweetly.
"If you're trying to charm me into having mercy on you then am sorry but it will take more than a few submissive words to do that", Aiden sharply replied.
"So what's it gonna cost the pretty lady here for you to be easy on her",Mark chirped in.
"Why don't she take off her clothes first, you know, we didn't finish what we started yesterday", Aiden asked smirking, eyes filled with mischief.
"So you saved me from Javier so you could bring me here to strip for you?",Aria asked dryly. Even she was getting tired of talking, he should get on with whatever revenge he had in mind for her.
"I think you already know the answer to that fiesty", Aiden replied faking a yawn.
"Yes I do so stop keeping me on tenterhooks trying to figure out what you possibly brought me here to do and stop asking me to take my clothes off because if I can remember clearly, you have no interest in werekayotes",Aira replied obviously loosing her cool. "Am guessing it's just a pile of house chores that will tire me so bring it on already and stop wasting my time",Aira added.
"Well, you're right, it's just a bunch of chores anyway but believe me Fiesty, you were absolutely right when you said they will tire you to the bone because they sure will",Aiden replied smirking and eyeing her with eyes glistening with mischief.
Aria who shrugged at his facial expression inwardly decided that she didn't like it whenever he looked at her like that. It gave her shivers.
"Firstly, let me introduce you to my staffs Fiesty", Aiden continued snapping his fingers.
"This is my Butler Mr Charles, the oldest man in my house so treat him with respect, and this guy right here is Kevin, he is the gardener in charge of the gardens so I do hope you two get acquainted. That's all." Aiden said gesturing his hands towards the two men who he introduced to Aira.
"Any man who isn't you, I treat with respect and kindness so you really do not have to worry about anything because I know how to treat people", Aria retorted smiling and nodding slightly at Charles and Kevin who returned the gesture.
"Mr Charles, in as much as I would love to be the one who would show Aria here to the fish pond she would be cleaning today I have to leave for work, I have an appointment by 9:00", Aiden said turning towards his Butler and checking his watch.
"A fish pond! I don't even like fish!",Aria screamed in frustration.
"Exactly why you should wash it, besides am not done giving you orders on what you should do today", Aiden replied harshly, not smiling at her. "More complains will earn you nothing but more punishments. Do you understand?!", Aiden asked her harshly but she only kept mute.
"Aira I said do you understand! Don't test my patience!", Aiden screamed to the surprise of everyone in the room and Aira flinched widening her eyes at him.
"Yes, yes I do understand", She answered coldly.
"Yes what!", Aiden asked stepping towards her.
Aira instinctively stepped back trying to move away from him, "yes boss", she replied quickly.
Aiden who was now an inch away from her eyed her, "good, as the way it should be, and you shouldn't let me remind you about the way you are to address me because am not always this benevolent. Do you understand me Aira?" He asked.
"Yes boss", she replied quickly again.
"Good", Aiden said smiling this time but all Aria could see behind that smile was wickedness as he stepped away from her.
"Am off to work now and make sure she doesn't get help from anyone in this house while she is at it, do you understand?", Aiden asked his Butler, eyeing Mark suspiciously.
"Yes Sir I do, but Sir can't she do something else? The pond hasn't been used in ages and it's all covered in slime and spirogyra and am pretty sure you don't plan on using it too once it's clean because you don't eat fish, so don't you think it's a complete waste of time?", Charles his butler asked obviously concerned for the poor girl who from the looks of it will need some decent clothes because he could tell from her obvious shabby dressing that she didn't have any. He had a hunch his boss was behind the way she looked but what the poor girl had done to deserve all these was what he was yet to find out. He has worked here for decades, infact he was the first and only butler this house has ever had, he saw Aiden as his son and yes he wasn't perfect and had flaws here and there but he knew Aiden respected him, he saw it in his eyes and the way he stopped to think and reason whenever he brought up a point a solution to the young lad. He had taken a liking to this young naive girl who has shown no fear for Aiden from the first time he saw her and though he didn't know what she did wrong to deserve the punishment and dressing she was getting from Aiden he decided to butt in and help her by trying to get Aiden to reason with him as he always does praying it works this time because he saw the looks in his eyes when he looked at her after stating what she was supposed to do. He seemed to have decided her fate a long time ago and it couldn't be reversed. But there really wasn't any harm in trying so ignoring the nudging he got from Kevin to shut up, he decided to try and rescue the poor girl.
