Hot Treat

"Can you use extra jalapenos to make it extra hot and spicy, I'll pay extra if you want... Alright thank you." Skylar dropped the receiver after placing the pizza order. She couldn't help but twirl with joy.

She made her way to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator and cabinets to take stock of the available groceries. It turned out, he barely had anything. She wondered how he managed to stay fit if he only ordered his foods.

Grabbing a pen and a jotter, she wrote down all the ingredients and household items she would be needing to run the house.

Seeing as the mansion was lacking a lot of house care things, her list was long. She was worried that Richard would not give her enough money to get them all or worse still, he would accuse her of theft again.

Her thought went to the arrogant jerk as she wondered what he was doing at the moment.

Meanwhile, in Richard's room, he sat at his work desk and wondered what the new girl was up to, he realized he didn't even know her name.

He didn't want another housekeeper to take care of him. She was the fifth one in two months. It was only her first day but somehow she has made more trouble than some past housekeepers did.

He recalled the worst one, she would go to his room and sniff his clothes. She eventually started leaving love notes for him to find. He was so freaked out by it that he threatened to feed her to rabid dogs, that was why he was furious when he discovered that his mom had hired another young lady. He was going to make her life miserable until she quits like the rest.

Ding Dong!

Skylar broke from her reverie and ran to get the door, she was so excited that she almost tripped. After paying for the pizza which cost less than the money he gave her, she shut the door and proceeded to Richards room.

Knock knock!

She rapped at his door while balancing the pizza box on the other hand.

"Who's there?" She heard Richard ask. She rolled her eyes at his antics because she knew he was aware that they were the only two people in the house, so she was definitely the one knocking.

"I have your pizza," she replied.

"Drop it out there, you shall not enjoy the privilege of entering my room yet," he answered. That angered Skylar but the thought of what was to come made her smile. She dropped the pizza box by the door and went downstairs to await the inevitable.

She was still going over her grocery list when she heard the unflattering scream of a man. She covered her mouth and laughed so hard, tears were coming out of her eyes. She was still laughing when she heard the thunderous footsteps marching down the stairs. She pretended to be studying the list when Richard approached her.

"Can I help you with anything. Boss" she drew out the last word suggestively and smiled like an angel.

"Cut that innocent crap, you ordered a spicy pizza!" he exclaimed.

"Yes, I did. What is the problem?" she asked, feigning confusion.

"The problem? the problem is that you didn't order what I told you to, you disobeyed your boss and for that, I'll have to review your employment status!" he yelled, visible veins were popping from his neck and his face was flustered.

"Ah but you're wrong. You see, you requested for a pepperoni pizza which I ordered, but you failed to tell me if you wanted it spicy or not. I figured you might get angry if it was plain and since I don't have the privilege to enter my bosses room to ask, I decided to make the decision for you." she explained calmly with an evil grin and then poured some water in a glass.

"Drink this, quench your thirst. Now, what would you like for dinner?"
