Tasha's heart was beating fast. When on earth did he turn. She was just staring at him. She tried to gather courage and started walking towards the dining. She had been caught drooling. Goodness!
Steve was now facing his food.
“Is there a problem?” Steve asked not looking up. His voice sounds so calm. Gosh!.
“No …..sir….. I …. want…..to ….. eat” she stammared and literally raninto the kitchen.
She found one of the maid busy with the freezer. It is her second time coming into the kitchen and just like the remaining part of the house, it looks so regal.
Equipments, electronics, foodstuffs, fruits,drinks, wines. Everything was there.
“Good morning ma'am” the maid greeted.
“clara right, how are you”
“Yes,I'm fine ma'am, do you need anything?”The maid said.
“I'm hungry, is there any food”Tasha replied.
“Actually,no. I can quickly make you something “ she said.
“I see you are busy, let me prepare something myself. I want stewed potatoes” Tasha said.
“No ma'am, that's not possible, I can't let you cook by your self. I will just attend to this later” Clara said. She was arranging some drinks into the fridge.
Tasha did not argue again. She however did not leave the kitchen. She stared on.
She watched Clara wash the potatoes and peeled them. She then put them in a pot and started boiling them.
“You know I can do this right” Tasha said as Clara left the potato to boil.
“I know ma'am but I shouldn't let you do it, you can just rest or something” the maid said.
“Are you scared of the boss” Tasha said.
“Not really, it's not just nice that you are doing what I should be doing” Clara replied and Tashed nodded.
“But I don't mind. I am actually a very good cook. I can take care of it” Tasha said.
Clara did not object.
Tasha opened the pot. The potato is already boiling. “Where are the rest of you” Tasha asked and Clara answered.
“They went to restock foodstuffs and some needed things.
Tasha rolled her eyes, foodstuffs needed things indeed. Everywhere looks so full.
****. ******
Tasha dished her meal and put it on a tray. Clara was still busy with arrangements. She wondered how she would have cooed with tending to her meal and the one she was doing. Domestic staffs are really trying.
“That smells so good ma'am “ Clara said.
“Yes, do you want some?” Tasha asked her
“I will love to” Clara said.
Tasha dished some of the potatoes into a plate for clara. She covered the leftovers.Ckara thanked her and she carried the tray and left the kitchen.
She got to the dinning and just like she thought, no one was there. She sat down in relief and digged into her meal.
She moaned as she munched the food. She really is a good cook. Even Aiden approves of that.
She was soon through with her meal and she packed the plates to the kitchen and Clara took care of the washing. She went to her room to watch some reels on the internet.
She was still viewing the reels when Daniella’s call came in. Wow! It's been long she spoke her friend.
“Hey” Daniella cooed.
“Honey pie, how have you been?” She beamed. “I ………”
