- Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake. -

Chapter Eight - The Elevator

"Sorry, but I'm not Superwoman. Find someone else."

I sat on the ground and watched him turn back in my direction. He looked down at me as I played with my hands in my lap.

"So, are these your true colours?"

I kept my eyes on my hands as I spoke.

"I'd be lying if I said no Mr. Rishabh."

"The name's RK."

"RK, Rishabh, Sir, same thing."

He sat down across from me. I looked at him while he kept his eyes on me. He seemed to be trying to read me.

"What are you staring at?"

"You're not the same girl I hired."

"I needed the job. I got it. And now you just confirmed that it says you can't fire me for the first year. Well, it's not worded like that, but I could use it against you if necessary."

"Hah! Using my own contract against me? You know you're in for shit when we get back home, right?"

"Correction, if we get back home."

"You're a feisty one, aren't you? Hm, junglibilli."

"What?"

"Junglibilli."

I kept my eyes on him, waiting for him to burst out in anger. How could he have such a calm side to him?

"Now may I ask what you're staring at Number Nine?"

"No. You didn't answer me; I'm not answering you. And the name's Madhubala."

He looked down and chuckled. A low, malicious chuckle. It slightly frightened me. Then he looked back up at me with his cold, black eyes.

"I like you."

What?! I thought it, but then accidently blurt it out as well.

"What?!"

"You. Like this. You're different. I mean, you'd expect the lady stuck in the elevator with a stranger to be banging on the door to get out, but here you are, sitting on the ground as if nothing's wrong."

"I've lived a life where I had nothing and depended on strangers. It was just like being stuck in an elevator for years. This doesn't bother me. I know for a fact that it bothers you more than it bothers me."

"First, don't get all sentimental on me. Just because I'm sitting here and not making your life miserable for the way that you behaved, does not mean you can open up to me. Second, this will definitely bother you later. I can assure you that much."

"What do you mean?"

"You're my maid. My maid. What the heck were you thinking when you disobeyed me and spoke up earlier?"

"I was thinking that I don't want to get sold off to some creepy guy. I was also thinking that you didn't trap me with your contract."

"I wasn't selling you off for God's sake!"

"It sure didn't seem like that."

"I could care less about how it seemed to you."

"Why'd you help me RK?"

"Like I said earlier, that's none of your concern. I shouldn't have helped you in the first place. I should've just left."

"So you would've left me there with that bas***d? Alone?"

"Why not? You mean nothing to me."

"You're lying."

"Oh, so you think you mean something to me?"

He smirked.

"No...but...you helped me for a reason. I saw you speaking to him. What'd you say?"

His expression changed ever so slightly but I knew something was up. He looked away for a moment as he spoke.

"How about you just shut up and quit asking me things you know I won't answer."

"No. Tell me."

He looked in my direction with a furious glare.

"Don't. Tell. Me. What. To. Do."

Okay, he frightened me. I had accepted that much. I had to look away but then decided to whisper.

"Why am I wearing this sari..."

He let out a snort.

"You never stop do you."

I looked up at him as he continued.

"With the questions."

"I just...it's uncomfortable."

"We're headed to a party...IF this stupid elevator decides to open up."

"Party?"

"Do you have a hearing aid which requires me to repeat myself?"

"You know you would've wasted less breath by simply saying yes instead of making a remark."

Jerk, I muttered under my breath.

"Did you say something?"

I looked back at him.

"Nope."

"Hm..."

"Wait. Why me? For the party?"

"I need a girl with me at all parties to make sure other girls stay away. The one I had planned for tonight cancelled last minute. So, I had to resort to my last option, hence the late notice. And if I compare you to the other maids in my mansion...well, let's just say you're not the worst looking one."

"Uh thanks?"

"Don't consider that a compliment."

I rolled my eyes while letting out a sigh.

"And who was that girl? Tina."

"I don't know why I'm answering your questions in the first place, but that girl was his mistress."

"Yeah and you were selling me off to be his next mistress."

I watched him grow frustrated as he looked to either side of him while trying to figure out what to say next. I stood up, getting uncomfortable sitting in front of him for so long. I went to stand in the corner of the elevator, farthest from him. I crossed my arms and faced my back towards him.

"You're so stupid. And so is my stupid phone for not having reception. And so is the emergency button for not working."

He muttered to himself so quietly that I couldn't tell if he meant for me to hear, so I kept silent. But after minutes of silence, I decided to answer his remark.

"How would you feel if..."

I turned to face him but found him standing directly behind me. I fell silent as my arm gently brushed his chest. His perfectly sculpted chest. I backed away one step and hit the wall of the elevator behind me. Why did I have to be stuck in an elevator with him of all people? He stared down at me intently. I stared up at him but had to look away after seconds. I couldn't stare into those dark, intimidating eyes for too long. I lowered my eyes and felt my heart beginning to race.

"Your..."

His voice was soft as he trailed off, unable to speak. I looked up at him again. He made a gesture with his eyes towards my back. I slowly turned my head to look over my shoulder but couldn't figure out what he was trying to say.

"Your uhm..."

I let a question mark cross my face as he struggled with words to find.

"Turn your damn body around!"

Well, aggressive RK decided to make an appearance. I guess I didn't turn around quickly enough for him, so he grabbed my arm and spun me. I felt my back hit his chest for a second which sent a chill up my spine. It wasn't until his fingers got a hold of my dori that I realized what he was trying to say. I closed my eyes as his fingers made contact with my back. I felt goose bumps rising on my back as my back arched to every touch his fingers made while he tied up my dori. Just as he was tying my dori, the elevator decided to jump and start up again. As the elevator jumped, it took me off guard and I lost my balance. I fell back. Directly into RK. He caught me with one arm as his other hand clutched to the wall on the other side to balance himself. As he balanced himself, he placed his other arm around me as well, holding me with both. I stared up into his eyes silently as he stared down into mine. Very slowly he brought me back to standing position, without losing eye contact. He held me in his arms for a moment as my chest rose with every heavy breath I took. Then just as the elevator doors opened, he blinked and let me go. He turned his back towards me and spoke coldly, as though forgetting everything from the moments before.

"I'm going to make you regret every one of your mistakes tonight."
