7. A Dangerous Man

‘PERSONAL MAID AGREEMENT.’

Daisy's surprise could be seen clearly through her widened eyes after reading the title of the paper that River gave her. He then raised his face, looked at River with his eyes still round and then asked, "This is-"

“Ah, read this one too.” River hastily interrupted Daisy before she could ask anything. He held the tablet in front of the woman's face and said, “I haven't had time to print it yet, so please read everything there. And if you agree I'll print it then we can sign it."

Daisy opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything because River, who was thrusting the tablet at her more and more, forced her to accept it.

Daisy's eyeballs moved along the words that filled out the agreement. And the more he read, his eyes and mouth widened. The woman was too amazed by what she was reading that she didn't realize that River was currently watching her while propping her chin, looking very amused by the expression on her face.

"You didn't make a typo about the nominal salary? Looks like you're 2 zeros behind," said Daisy. Which after he read the contents of the agreement, the nominal salary that River offered for the position of personal maid was the most unreasonable thing for him.

River pulled the corners of his lips into a smile as he answered Daisy's question with a shake of his head. “Is there not enough? I can add it if–”

"No, no! Not like that!" Daisy immediately interrupted River's words. Do not dare to imagine the amount that is more than written in the agreement, because it feels like it could make him lose his mind.

“But... Even the butlers in this hotel don't earn this much, do they? But why are you actually offering me this much?” she asked.

River folded his arms across his chest and looked at Daisy with a disappointed expression. "Even though I've tried to reduce it very much because you refuse to be my lover. But… I guess I can't be that strong towards a woman I like.”

"Excuse me?"

“Ah, sorry. I shouldn't have brought that up again,” River said as he folded his arms back on the table. He leaned closer to Daisy who was standing across from his desk and continued, “I won't bother you with my one-sided feelings. So you don't need to be shy and just do your job as my personal maid properly and–”

"Wait! Wait a moment!" Daisy immediately stopped River's words before the man went too far. He placed the tablet on the table and then looked at River seriously as he asked, "Who would want to be your personal maid, sir?"

River opened his mouth, but Daisy's eyes that were staring at him seemed to trap him. Made him forget about anything other than how that woman's pair of brown eyes could fascinate him. And as if hypnotized, the next thing that came out of River's mouth was, "It must be nice if someone looked at me every day with those beautiful eyes."

"Excuse me?" Daisy frowned when what River said to her she really couldn't understand.

River blinked his eyes. But instead of apologizing for rambling on, the man smiled and said, “I said you have pretty eyes, Daisy. It feels like I can just stare into those pretty eyes all day without doing anything else.”

Daisy wanted to swear at River who dared to tease her in a situation like this. But that was just a stupid wish from his brain, because in fact now his heart actually became flowery after receiving a sweet compliment like that.

“And I don't mind if you also have the same wish as me. It seems you are also enjoying the time that has passed by doing nothing but just looking into my eyes.” River seduced Daisy and it made the woman to control herself, come back to her senses and not let River's charm again mess with her mind.

"I can't accept this sir," Daisy said which made River rise from his seat. Daisy's legs weakened when she realized that at this time the man was stepping towards her, but she strengthened her heart to be able to finish all of this soon.

“I just want– Ah!”

"Three times." River spoke in a low voice that sounded dangerous after positioning himself in front of Daisy and making her shriek in surprise as his hands suddenly grabbed her waist and hugged her tightly. Making Daisy's eyes widen when she realized how fast River's movement had now made both of their bodies stick together without being able to stop it.

“I have never failed to get anything I desire, yet you have thoughtlessly rejected me three times. Do you know how impudent you are, Young Lady?” asked River which made Daisy subconsciously hold her breath.

So far, Daisy had been quite overwhelmed by River's dominant aura, which always managed to make her feel intimidated, even when he wasn't doing anything. And now, Daisy felt a very different aura from River. Which was so much more dazzling than usual that it felt so dangerous for an ordinary woman like herself to bear.

"Do you think you can survive if you keep tearing up my pride with the rejection that comes out of your pretty mouth, huh?" River asked in a whispering voice while his thumb gently rubbed the surface of Daisy's lower lip – that if only his hands weren't hugging Daisy's waist, Daisy's weak legs would not be able to hold her body and would make her fall to the floor.

And in fact, it wasn't just Daisy who became so weak just because of the light touch that River gave her. Because even River seemed caught up in his own game, feeling his blood heat up and his heart flutter as he felt how soft Daisy's lips were under hers.

Right now, River wanted Daisy more than anything. And even though he could forcefully throw her body on the sofa in his room and do anything to the woman who managed to arouse his curiosity to the highest point, River miraculously suppressed his ferocious side and let go of his embrace on Daisy's body.

Daisy took a step back as soon as River let go of her hug. He was just about to feel relieved because he could finally breathe again when his eyes met River's again. Making his heart beat even crazier than before when he saw how honestly River's two eyes showed great interest in him.

"I don't even know what's so special about you that I let you do this to me, Daisy." River spoke again. Speak in a way that makes Daisy forget how to breathe properly again.

"I just want to find out the answer, so don't make things difficult for me," River said.

River then took out a pen from his coat pocket and handed it to Daisy. And it seemed he no longer gave Daisy any special treatment as he consciously let his domineering nature out and forcefully said, “Sign the deal now and become my personal maid. I will not play it easy on you again if you ever dare to reject me again, Miss Winter.”
