'cough' 'cough'. Mrs. Anne taking a day off today. She feels too tired and sick. Alice also taking a day off to watch her mother. She put a damp napkin on her mother's forehead. Duchess Hayi provides them with the best doctor in the town. The doctor just gave Alice some medicines for her mother's fever.
Alice doze off and suddenly, 'Tok tok tok'
"Alice, could you take a look, who's coming at this hour?" Mrs. Anne sits up and leans on the bed frame. Alice walks through the door and opens it.
"Duke Eric? Harry..? What are you guys doing here I mean it's already past 9 o'clock, you should eat dinner at this hour.."
"Hello Alice. We are here after working today to visit you and your mother." Harry smiles
"You said your mother loves tangerines and steak. I bought this just after finishing work.." Eric says.
"Alice.? Who is it?" Mrs. Anne asks
"Wait a sec mamaa. Come on in you guys."
They walk to Mrs. Anne's bedroom and
"Mamaa, you have visitorsss. He bought tangerines and fresh steak for youu"
"That must be the most important persooo... n Wait what do you mean by 'he'?"
Mrs. Anne stops talking and someone walks through the door and
"SILVER HEAD?" Mrs. Anne surprised
"Sorry for disturbing you at this hour, but Alice said you are not well, as to show you I am a good employer, I decided to visit you today.. Mrs. Anne... and I bought these tangerines and steaks..."
Mrs. Anne glances at Eric
"Thank you silver headed, but you are not welcome here. Please, show them the way to go out. Perhaps, I can show them." Mrs. Anne tries to stand but she couldn't.
"Mamaa do not stand rapidly, you will faintt" Alice mumbles to her mother
"Perhaps, I know the recipe of making Pan-Seared steak... using.. garlic.. butter.." Eric stares at Mrs. Anne and,
"Hmm, well then, maybe I will leave as your mother's wishes."
He just about to take a step towards the door..
"If I approve your steak recipe, then.. maybe you can be friend with Alice"
"Mamaa, hahhaha whatt? you sell your daughter over a steakk!" Alice laughs while talking. She is so happy, as her mother starts to fight with other people means, she is getting better.
Eric rolls his sleeves up and
"Show me the kitchen, Harry"
Harry with a blur face
"Aa, ehm.. this way sire.. I guess..?"
Harry helps Eric to mince the garlic
Alice gives her mother some massages while they both having the tangerines. Mrs. Anne has been eating porridge all day long. She feels a bit boring and wants to eat something else. Suddenly, the smells of sautéed steak covers the whole house.
"If this steak is not going to taste heavenly. I might put the whole steaks in his mouth Alice."
Alice laughs. After few minutes.,
"The steak is ready!" Eric enters the room with a plate of steak and Harry brings an orange juice made from the tangerines they bought.
"Bon Appetite" Eric gives the plate to Mrs. Anne.
All parts have been sliced up for her.
Mrs. Anne uses the fork, take a slice of the steak and.. after a bite.
"I don't like it. This I don't like it. Alice help me. "
