Chapter 9: chapter 9
Anna
As he approached the dining, I glanced at the table to make sure everything was set, I didn't want what happened earlier to repeat itself
One of the maids who was in her late thirties has worked with his family for some years now and was transferred to this house when we got married cause she knew him quite well and they thought she could be of help to me
Well, she actually was, she was the one who told me that he was allergic to green tea and I didn't prepare lunch until I consulted her
When he settled down, I started serving him when suddenly "what's this?" he said with disgust in his tone and I looked at him puzzled
"It's coconut rice with onion sauce" I said unsure
"I won't eat this, you better take it away and prepare something else" he said indifferently and left
I just stood there, stunned by his actions, I glanced at Olivia (the maid) and she gave me an apologetic look, I nodded and got some maids to clear the dining as I got ready to make something else, within an hour, I prepared spaghetti bolognese, I sent for him again but the maids came back saying that he had asked for the food to be brought to his room
I did as he said with the help of Olivia, he was on his bed casually typing away when we came in and kept it on the coffee table, Olivia left but I stayed back and served him before I also made my way out
"What have you prepared?" he asked not looking up from his laptop
"Spaghetti bolognese" I simply said
"Take it away, I'm not eating that either" he said still not looking away from his laptop, I got pissed
"Well then, what do you want to have?" I said rather calmly and he finally looked up from his laptop
"Anything but not something I don't feel like having" he said with a sly smile on his face as he went back to what he was doing, I sighed
"Do you mind being more specific" I asked
"You know if I were you, I won't waste my time asking silly questions, instead, I would've gotten to work already, go on" he said while signalling for me with his brows leave and I walked out
"And make sure to get this mess cleaned up" he called after me as I briskly walked away
I sent some maids to get the food from his room, Olivia gave me an encouraging smile and advised me to make two dishes this time and I did just that and this time, I went to get him myself but when I got to the room, he was on the phone with someone and I had to wait
When he ended the call, I informed him that lunch which was now partially dinner was ready, he chuckled lightly as he sat on the sofa "so what do we have this time" he asked with a sick smirk
"Curried rice with beef sauce" I said indifferently
"Tsk tsk tsk" he shook his head and pursed his lips "that is still not what I want to have" he shrugged and typed away on his phone
"What of Cuban sandwich" I said hopefully and he glanced at me with amusement in his eyes
"Worst" he simply said and my anger fuelled
"Well that's it, I am not going to waste my time or energy on you again, if you really want to have lunch then you can always visit a restaurant, I am out of here" I snapped and was about to leave when he noisily stood up making the sofa move backwards
"Why do you think I married a bitch like you?! it was to serve this purpose, and that's exactly what you'll do, let me make this clear to you, you are absolutely worthless to me, I brought you to this house to serve me and you will do just that, now get back to that damned kitchen and get me something to eat!" by now he was dangerously close and was looking at me menacingly
"Get out!!" he roared and I stared at him briefly before stalking out I went back to the kitchen and stood in front of the counter, I took a few deep breaths when I felt someone touch me lightly, I looked back and saw Olivia holding a glass of water, she nodded for me to collect it, I did and gulped it down, then I kept it aside and smiled at her
"Do you have any meal in mind?" I asked
"Well yes, it isn't actually his favorite but he enjoys white rice with chicken sauce" she fidgeted
"Well then, let's get to work" I said and started Immediately, I promised myself that after this I am not going to touch any pot again, whether he likes it or not, it's his damn business
When we were done, I was about to send for him when he approached the dining "is the food ready?" he asked rudely
"Yes" I said and he came over and sat down but not after asking what I made, actually I thought he would refuse this one too but luckily, he didn't, I served him and went to the kitchen to help with the dishes I had just finished cleaning when he came over "don't bother making dinner, i won't be back early" he said casually and left, I noticed he had changed into different clothes
I went back to the dining to clean the place up just to find that he ate only a little portion of what I served him, I was pissed was an understatement
After making me prepare five good dishes, he ends up eating close to nothing
How insulting
I went back to my room and had a shower, then I dressed in my flannel pants and a loose tee, I slept off just to be woken by a ring on my phone, I got it and took the call, it was from the hospital stating that I have an appointment with two patients tomorrow from 10am to 2pm
After the call, I went back to bed so as to'meet up to timing'
Note the sarcasm
