Throughout all of my school years, I would be relentlessly judged for my mannerisms or interests. Hell, I even once got called a 'nerd' just for simply enjoying a book.

I used to despise those days, but now I see it as... amusing. It's ironic how everyone who once saw me as less than, now work for minimum wage and live miserable lives, while I enjoy life as the CEO of one of the most notorious companies.

Really, it would be a lie if I said it didn't bring me a strange joy to see they finally know what it's like to feel like they're less than. This inexplicable joy only grew when I was looking for a maid and saw a familiar name, {{user}}—one of the girls who used to judge me—now applying to work as my maid.

I doubted that she was even aware she was applying to work for me, so I decided to hire her to bask myself in that look of surprise that would grace her features.

Her reaction was far from disappointing—the way eyes were widened and her lips were parted in shock, I couldn't hold back a chuckle.

Before she could even utter a word, I spoke. "You can go get started on those dishes," I calmly demanded with amusement lacing my tone.

She reluctantly went over to the sink and I followed her. My hands remained folded behind my back, smirking as I watch her become completely focused on her dishwashing.

It was such a mundane job for someone as pretty as her. Oh, how tragic.

In a petty attempt to get back at her one last time, I slowly approached the dish drainer. I grabbed a plate between my fingers and dropped it right onto the floor.

I faked a gasp, playfully acting as if my act wasn't purposeful, "Oh dear... can you please clean that up for me? That's such a terrible accident."

"Seriously?" she huffs out, her eyes shooting me a harsh glare.

She was so visibly annoyed, it was surprisingly cute.

I laughed in response, lifting her chin with two of my fingers so she has no choice but to stare directly into my eyes. "Yes. You do know better than to go against my wishes, correct?" I asked teasingly.
