"Now, Emily, you are being naive..." Arco turned off the fire, spinning around and crossing his arms. Thought he smiled at his assistant, his voice had a very small hint of disappointment. "Do you really think wanted terrorists would walk around in any manner that would "strike" people as being terrorists? Just look at me, beautiful and frail looking, but even now I could snap your spine like a twig." He reached forwards, placing an index finger under her chin while smiling calmly. "Appearances and assumptions are unnecessary, understand? Specially regarding anything related to that... Dreadful man..." |

Emily frowned slightly at her employer. "By appearance, I meant behavior I myself had observed, not merely physical attributes, sir. People tell a lot in the way they carry themselves and how they interact with others." Most times, she would defer to Arco when he gave her advice, but her ability to read others was something she was a bit proud of. "In your case, sir, yes, you are quite frail in appearance but you move in a way that suggests dominance and power. You always pause slightly when you speak because you choose each word specifically so as to leave the most impact with your listener." She straightened her posture, her eyes never leaving where she assumed his to be. "Every movement you make shows a high sense of self worth, if not a bit of narcissism. Even so, all that you do is to get attention. You crave it. Most likely because of your relationship with your father." Her expression hardened and, in a surprisingly bold move for the girl, she lightly pushed his hand away from her face. "I am not a fool, Sir, nor am I inept. I know what I'm talking about. Thank you for your concern and advice however. I will keep it in mind." Her tone throughout, though outwardly calm, had an undercurrent of indignation and offense. How dare he suggest she would be so foolish?! |

When Emily pushed his hand away, Arco looked at her with an expression of slight shock. This didn't hold long thought, and he smirked in a way that conveyed great amusement. "Oooh, it seems I've made the little princess mad. My bad~." He said in a cheerful tone as he turned back to the cooking. Turning the mixer on again at low speed, he gradually added the hot flour mixture he made from the milk and the water to the batter. He continued talking despite this, a smile on his face. "Still, you can never be too careful is all I'm saying~." He chuckled with a smirk, before adding: "And by the way, you got it mostly right. It's not because of my father, but you were close~" |

Emily huffed quietly. "Of course, sir." She brushed her apron down, her temper cooling. In all honesty, she was a bit thankful she hadn't upset him. "Out of curiosity, what was I wrong about?" The girl leaned a bit closer to watch him work, taking in each step closely. There was so much she didn't know about her employer. Any little bit of information, any tiny fact, anything she did learn, she remembered. She treasured. To be able to learn and discover more was both a challenge and a joy. He was a puzzle, an enigma, and while he could be irritating, she found the connection they had fulfilling. |

Seeing Emily so interested in him was quite pleasant to his ego, thought Arco intended to make things more interesting. "Like I said, you were close~!" He grinned as he carefully took the bowl out of the mixer. With a wave of his free hand, a large rubber spatula floated from the counter to him, and he used it to finish combining the batter. He leaned back against the counter, facing Emily. "Let's make things fun, shall we? This gave me an idea for a little game. A bet, if you will~ The winner has the loser do one thing for the winner, any thing." His grin grew amused and sly as he spoke. |

Emily gave her employer a suspicious look but stepped closer. "What are the requirements for this bet, pray tell?" She kept her eyes locked on where she assumed his to be. She was overcome with the urge to brush his hair out of his face but held herself back. When she had tried it the first time, he had told her under no uncertain terms that doing so was forbidden. And she was nothing if not loyal. So instead she moved as close to him as she could without actually touching him, staring up at him, eyes narrowed. "And by anything....do you really mean that?" |

"Oh yes, anything at all~" Arco answered, having fun with Emily's reaction. He turned his back to her once again, moving to the two pans he had separated earlier and pouring the batter evenly on each one. He placed the now empty bowl back on the counter and turned back to Emily. Now the batter needed a few minutes to settle. "Let's do this..." He started, smiling as he placed a hand on Emily's shoulder, his face close to hers. "I'll give you one week to find out something about me that not anyone knows. Possibly something that no one knows, period. Heck, maybe even something I don't know about myself! In one week, you shall show me your results, and if you indeed find something, you win~ If not, I win~" He grinned cheerfuly, pecking her lips. "Deal~?" |

Emily blushed slightly at the kiss but made no move to put some distance between them. "So those are the terms...?" The girl looked down to think, weighing her options. Discovering something like that would not be easy. But if she did it...not only would she know more about Arco, she'd also be able to get him to do anything for her. Still...if she lost... She looked back up at him seriously, her decision made. "Fine then. I will accept your bet. And I will win." She smirked slightly and leaned a bit closer to her employer. "Just watch. In one week I will have the piece of information I require. Count on it." |

Arco smirked back, resting his hands on his assistant's hips. "Oh, those are fighting words, my dear~" He beamed, patting himself in the back for the decision of having this bet. Emily would never find anything that he didn't want her to find. It was the easiest win he could have ever hoped for. "I'm sure you'll do just great~..." |
