"That was an easy negotiation." he continued eating. Lately, he's been eating a lot of finger foods as he can't see the food yet or old Naning make rice rolls for him.
"Hmmm." she stuffed herself as well. She'll eat first before her mood gets destroyed again.
"You seem more cheerful today. If you're planning to do anything stupid then I'm warning you."
"Stop hallucinating. Can't you see that I'm afraid of you," he smirked but did not say anything anymore. She scooped more food. Old Naning's fried rice is really delicious, I'll ask her to teach me how to do it so I can just eat fried rice everyday.
"No I don't believe you. You're planning something behind my back." his face expression darkened. "Yumi, I'm really gonna kick you out this time."
"Can you please stop being paranoid! Give me some peace while I eat because I'm also trying my best to not butt in your personal life. Please stop harassing me if you don't want me to pry in your business again!"
"Oh" he replied which sounded like an afterthought. Mayu scoffed.
"I can't eat here. I'll lose my appetite." she picked up her plate and strode towards the living room.
"By the way, someone named Sweetheart and her boyfriend may be coming over to visit you. But I think it's really your brother they're visiting as they're talking about a wedding. You can't be secretly married though, are you?" she did not dare listen to anything he said again as she covered her ears with her headphones and blasted the music to maximum volume. Huh! I can easily block you off my system. I won't let my appetite be ruined because of you!
"Why are you sulking there?" Glenn took her headphones off and sat beside her. She gripped her fork and glared dangerously at him.
"I'm eating, do you mind? And please Glenn, if your jerk of a boss sent you here to get some scoop then stop before I bite you!" she really didn't like it if her meal gets disturbed and more so if her appetite gets spoiled.
"I didn't know that you've already gone wild. What breed of animal are you?" Chryxso is standing not far from her. It looks like he already finished eating. And he's now ready to make her lose her appetite.
"I'm not an animal. I'm a monster!" she rushed to stuff herself with more food, carried her plate back to the kitchen and brushed her teeth in a hurry. Both guys are having some good time fooling around when she came back.
She gritted her teeth but realizing she can't just casually throw a tantrum here, she decided a careful planning on her own. Mayu walked towards Chryxso and gripped his hand.
"Let's go!" she tried to sound enthusiastic as she tugged at him.
"Where do you think you're taking me? Glenn!" Chryxso was caught off guard so he instantly called for his bodyguard. She just smirked, I thought you don't need help.
"We'll go somewhere. Glenn, my friend, you can follow us." she glanced back to the shocked driver and house helps.
"What?" Chryxso asked while Glenn just looked at her, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
"We're going somewhere. Are you deaf? Glenn move faster. Do you need me to guide you too?" she looked at him deadpan and Glenn, the driver, felt chills on his back.
"Yes Ma'am!" Glenn recovered from his shock, straightened his back and ran swiftly to the garage.
"What are you planning? Yumi-"
"Duh! As if you'll scare me if you keep on calling on my name. Don't even try to intimidate me or else I'll make sure to get your company in ruins," he looks like he's about to argue back but fell silent when he heard her last words. Huh? I really think he's more in love with his business than with Ellaine.
"What are you planning this time? Where would you like to go," they're already sitting side by side in the car when he found his voice to speak again. Sometimes women are scarier than you think.
"We'll wander around." she announced.
"What do you mean-"
"I'm not from here so I need to familiarize myself with the place. I don't want to bring shame on your high standards."
"I think you're just pulling my leg." he scrunched his face but he didn't look annoyed so she decided to proceed as plannned even if she's still feeling annoyed.
"You should know, my professional fee is expensive so you better prepare your millions."
"I thought you're doing this for volunteer work?" she glowered at him. The guy just smiled like he knows how she looks at him right now.
"I came here as a volunteer nurse not as an assistant. That's a different topic, I charge for my time."
"Fine. Just don't do anything stupid."
"I already know that and between the two of us, you're the one doing 'something stupid',"
"What do you mean by that?"
"If you're really smart, then you qknow what I mean."
"Whatever. Do you job well or else I'll hang you upside down."
"Dude, you can't threaten me when you can't see nor catch me? Hahaha!" her boisterous laughter covered the car. The two guys keep silent, not bothering to laugh with her. Anyway, we're doomed, they thought.
"Wheee! This is gonna be sooo great!!" Mayu raised her arms and breathed.
"Leave some fresh air to the people inside this car, don't sniff it all."
"What am I, a vacuum?"
"Well, sorta!" she smacked him lightly.
"Can you stop contradicting me always! I'm trying to make the most of my vacation here." he suddenly clapped his hands and roared.
"Aha! I knew it! Glenn, give me your payment!" Glenn smoothly stopped the car and fished a thousand bill from his pocket before he grudgingly gave it to Chryxso's extended hand.
"What's that?" Mayu looked at them with her round confused and curious eyes.
"This is called business kid," Chryxso smirked. Mayu furrowed her brows in suspicion.
"Don't 'kid' me, okay." she smacked him again.
"Stop smacking my head or I'll really twist your neck," she just harrumphed.
"Tell me, what sneaky thing are you off to this time?"
"Aren't you the one always sneaking?" he just threw her another question.
"Tell me. You know I'll find it sooner or later," she pressed on.
"This is my winning from our bet if you will take my offer to be an assistant or not. Well obviously you're not into it." Mayu became even more confused.
"And you said it because?"
"Well you said this will be your last day." Chryxso said with glee.
"I don't remember saying anything like that," she grabbed the money from him but he did not give it back to Glenn. The car fell silent, both guys holding their breath as they realized they got caught in a sticky situation they can't get out off.
"And also," she added as an afterthought, she clicked her tongue.
"Whoever told you I won't take the job?" Chryxso's face went pale.
