The Son In-law's Revenge

The contract

Epic 5

Lisa's insistent demand for a maid continued to aggravate Peter the next morning, though he had begun to recognize his own need for one. As he awoke from a night's rest, his stomach rumbling in hunger, he was dismayed to find no food in the house.

Gazing at Lisa casually crossing her fine legs in the sitting room while leisurely enjoying the cereal she had prepared for herself, Peter felt a surge of anger.

"Babe!" Lisa exclaimed, rushing over to plant a few kisses on Peter's cheek. "I didn't notice you were standing there”, she said.

Did you see me in your dreams, huh?”. Lisa whispered seductively as she blushed her lips against Peters.

“No breakfast?”. Peter mustered in an angry low tone. Lisa was surprised while looking around the room.

“Who are you talking to babe? Did you finally get us a maid”. She said a bit excited but Peters hiss left her speechless as he walked away and went back to his room.

Lisa immediately rushed after him but he had already gone into the bathroom, while she patiently waited for Peter to get out of the bathroom, she went ahead to pick out some nice matching outfits for office wear.

“What are you doing?”. Peter let out annoyed as he walked out of the bathroom

“Oh Babe, you are out. I was trying to select some dazzling outfit for you”. Lisa excitedly let out as she wet over while trying to caress Peter's wet body but he snapped it out.

“I like to select my outfit myself. I appreciate your interest in helping but it won't be useful”. Immediately Peter went to his wardrobe and brought out a pair of grey suits and his well-polished black shoes.

“Are you angry because of the breakfast?”. Lisa mumbled with guilt as she went over and hugged Peter from behind.

“I'm sorry”. She whispered while gently facing Peter and helping him to button his shirt.

“Thank you”. Peter whispered as soon as she was done putting the last one.

“Still angry?”. She whispered in a low to as Peter put on his shoes.

“No. I'll get us a maid today, guess your mails are too polished to make breakfast”. He let out sarcastically.

“You are still angry, aren't you?”. Lisa whispered coldly but Peter grabbed his box kissed her on her forehead and left without a word.

Outside the house, Ethan was already waiting for Peter.

“Good morning Boss”. Ethan mumbled before his eyes cut on Lisa who stood at their doorstep and waved at Peter while they drove to work.

“She's pretty Boss”. Ethan had mumbled halfway to the ride, unable to comprehend Lisa's sudden appearance.

“Perhaps she is the one we have all been waiting for”. Ethan teased.

The look on Peter's face, suddenly changed as he stared disgustedly at Ethan “How about we just quietly drive down to work”. Peter let out. After a little silence, he continued while seeming to stare at a particular spot “I don't love her, she can't cook or do any house chores. I feel she is a thorn in my flesh and I can't do away with her”. Ethan suddenly let out a weak smile as he gazed at Peter.

“Perhaps you love another”. Ethan had said as they made to pack their car.

“Yes”. Peter let out softly as Nora passed. Ethan had followed his eyes as he couldn't stop staring at Nora as she approached the entrance to the building.

“You should tell her before it's too late”. Peter suggested.

“Yeah, I need you to do that yourself”. Peter whispered lost.

“Stay here then”. Ethan let out excited as he ran after Nora.

After a brief conversation with her, Nora headed towards the car, as Nathan raised his thumb for Peter who kept looking at them confused.

“Good mor—ning Sir”. Nora had let out timidly as she stood in front of the car.

“Come inside”. Peter said quietly and she willingly obliged.

Stepping into the well-conditioned car, Nora felt like she was in another beautiful world. She couldn't stop feeding her eyes nervously, starting from the silver roof, to the mini gold decorated award and then the mini family photo of Peter and his parents. She has long wished for a little experience of an expensive lifestyle. Having wondered a little in her mind, she constantly kept blushing until Peter's voice brought her back from her imagination,

“I'll pay you thirty thousand USD for the job”. Peter muttered as Nora gazed at him surprised and in turn stared at Nathan who seemed all excited outside.

“Sorry Sir, What Job?”. Nora whispered confused.

“The job Nathan just explained to you, or didn't he explain to you?”. With confusion, Peter gazed lost at her.

“What job? Is it supposed to be a contract marriage?”. Nora whispered in confusion as Peter gazed even more shocked at her.

“Contract?! Marriage?!” he whispered lost. “What did he tell you?”. Peter continued.

“That you love me, and you want to discuss it with me”.

Immediately Peter bent his head embarrassed. “Gosh, that moron”. He whispered.

“I'm sorry for that, I suppose it is a little misunderstanding and I'll talk that through with him. I'm a Nobleman and if I love a lady, I'll walk up to her myself and express my feelings. Umm… I…”. He suddenly stopped after he noticed how confused Nora kept gazing at him, he was almost lost staring at her eyes before he suddenly cleared his throat and continued.

“What I was saying is this. I need a maid, I need a full-time maid in my house, and I want you to help me. It's full-time work, meaning you will quit your other work including the one in the office. I'll pay a monthly salary of thirty thousand US Dollars. I believe it will be enough to cover your expenses or won't it?”.

Peter's words hung in the air as Nora kept staring lustfully at him.

“Are you in for the job?”. Peter said, snapping his fingers at her face
