Chapter 4 Dilemma

• "Gosh, I can't believe you got yourself arrested." Sophie says to her best friend from the other side of the glass, phone in hand.
• Michelle sighs, phone on her ear. If she could meet the idiot Xander who had put her in the damn jail, she would have given him a good beaten but sadly she is in prison.
• "I did not get myself imprisoned, soph. That idiot did." Michelle says angrily.
• "Oh geez. He wouldn't have arrested you if you didn't slap him. You slapped an influential man Michelle, what else did you expect." Sophie says in a bored tone.
• "Are you taking his side right now." Michelle asks clearly annoyed by her friends reply.
• "Oh geez, Michelle I'm not taking his sides. I'm only saying if you had not slapped Xander Collins, he wouldn't have kept you in here and now there's nothing I can do to bring you out of here cause they have refused you from getting bail." Sophie breaks the news to Michelle.
• "Of course he would do that, is that not what rich people do, to oppress us the poor with their power. Ugh, I hate them." Michelle groans.
• "Well, I'm still going to look for more ways to get you out of here but for now I need to go. My shift starts in a minute." Sophie says getting up, she placed the phone at where it supposed to be, mouths goodbye to Michelle and left.
• Michelle sighs, walking back into her cell, she sits on the floor and wondered of the idiot billionaire would ever release her.
• 5 days passed, and Michelle is still in the prison. She eats the stale bread and drank from her cup of watery tea. Damn, prison food isn't food. She thinks.
• "Hey, Michelle. You're free to go." A guard yells opening the door of her cell, she stands up from the floor tiredly and sighs happily, blessing her friend in her mind for finally finding a way for her to get out.
• ******************
• Michelle eat joyfully from the plate of rice. It felt like years she hasn't eaten a good food, she smiles happily as she drinks the glass of juice.
• "Michelle, you are out of prison and you didn't call me." Sophie asks walking into the house a shocked look on her face.
• "Aww, I'm so sorry I couldn't call you. On getting home all I wanted to do was eat, you need to see the food I was given in that prison. I will never even wish my enemy to eat such." Michelle says with a frown.
• "Wow, I can see you've really gone through a lot. I just hope this would be a lesson to you in why you should learn to control your anger." Sophie says casually drinking from Michelle glass of juice.
• "Seriously, is that what you're going to say now. Anyway thanks for bailing me from the prison, I do not know what I would have done without you." Michelle appreciated her friend.
• "What are you talking about, I didn't bail you from prison. I told you yesterday when I came to visit you that I couldn't bail you out, Mr Xander is a really hard man to negotiate with."
• "I don't get you. Are you trying to say you didn't get me out of prison." Michelle asks confused.
• "Yeah, that's exactly what I'm saying." Sophie confirms.
• "But if you didn't get me out of prison, then who did." Michelle says out loud, thinking.
• "I did." A handsome Mr Xander says from behind Sophie, closing the door.
• "You got me out of prison?." Michelle asks, staring at Xander wondering if she should slap him for putting her in prison or thank him for getting her out.
• "Yeah I did." He answered simply, having this look in his eyes she couldn't decipher.
• "Uhm, I think I will be inside. Why don't you guys try talking everything out." Sophie says nervously hating the tension in the sitting room, she rushed out of the sitting room wanting to be far away from the awkward tension in the room.
• "What do you want?." Michelle asks the minute, her friend left.
• "Hmm, that wasn't the apology and thank you I was expecting." He says with a straight look. He was expecting the girl to be apologising and also thanking him for getting her out of prison.
• "And why should I be apologising and saying thank you, to you." Michelle retorts with an equally straight face. Here she was thinking of punching his goddamn face, and here he was thinking she would apologise.
• "For getting you out of prison." Xander answered in a bored tone.
• Michelle stares at him for a while, and started laughing. Xander looks at her confused, wondering if he had said anything funny. "Why are you laughing." Xander asks narrowing his eyes.
• "You want me to say sorry to you. Please, kindly tell me why I should say sorry to you. Should I say sorry for wasting my goddamn precious time in your company, for calling me names and finally for putting me in jail?." Michelle glared at him, her hands folded under her b**bs.
• "I expect you should say sorry for striking me on my face twice." Xander says through gritted teeth.
• Michelle laughed really hard, her hands on her stomach. "You think I would say sorry because I slapped you. Please that slap, was only for the insult you lashed out on me, ohh and let's not forget the fact that you wasted my time." Michelle says with a pointed look.
• "I can see you're not sorry about what you did, I guess I should just make a call to the chief of police." Xander says bringing out his phone. Michelle gulps down looking at him, she bit her lip thinking.
• Should she allow him call the police, but she doesn't want to go to that damn cell again. Ugh.
• "Yes Mr Roberts, and this time I want her to spend like a month in there." Xander says into the phone, sweats drizzles down Michelle's face, she wipes it away nervously.
• "Stop, cut the call. I will apologise." Michelle voiced out.
• "Do you know what Mr Roberts, I think you're services won't be needed anymore." Xander says and cuts the call.
• "I'm sorry, I slapped you." Michelle apologise.
• "You know what Michelle, I don't want your apology anymore, i want something else." Xander says with a smirk, plotting all kinds of scheme in his head.
• "And what could that be." Michelle asks suspiciously.
• "I want you to be my maid for a week." Xander blurts out.
• "What! Why in God's name would I want to be your maid for a week." She yells, shocked he would even think of something like that.
• "I don't know, because you wouldn't want me to lock you up for two consecutive months." Xander says dryly. Michelle glares at him, her fist tightened. She really needs to punch something or someone right now.
• "You have only till tommorow morning to think about my offer. I will send my driver to come pick you up, if you get in the car it means you agreed to my offer, if you don't. It means two months in jail. Have a nice day miss Sylvester." He smirked at her then walked out of the apartment, leaving Michelle in her dilemma.
