Emily stood up.
"What?What am I going to do here alone ?Wait!I'd better leave then."
Daniel smirked.
"Did you expect to sleep with me?"
Emily's face turned red.
"I.. This is not what I meant."
Daniel took his car keys from the table.
" If you feel hungry,just tell the maid to make you something. I'll be off now."
Emily could hear his footsteps fading gradually.
" What am I even doing here? Oh God. This is so embarrassing. But I feel hungry already".
She kept talking to herself. The smell of food reaching her from the kitchen made her desperate. She couldn't take it anymore and finally decided to go down stairs.
Soon she was down wandering around.
"Madam, do you need anything?" asked the maid.
"Ah, yes I was a little hungry. Can you show me the kitchen?I will cook something myself."
Emily talked nicely.
"No no!You don't need to. Just tell me what you want to eat. I'll ask the chef to make it for you." Emily smiled at her and refused her offer.
"I don't feel comfortable eating food cooked by someone else. Please understand I can do it myself."
It is going to be delightful cooking in this kitchen. She thought.
About ten chefs were working there.
"She's Sir Daniel's special guest. Guide her. She wanted to cook something."
The maid told the chefs and left.
After half an hour all the chefs left the kitchen. It was just Emily in the Kitchen now.
Emily was enjoying cooking by herself and singing her favorite song.
Suddenly the thought about Daniel's mother came to her mind.
Did she leave already?
She thought.
The tantalizing aroma of fish filled the air. Someone entered the kitchen without making a noise and laid his hand on her shoulder.
"AaaAaaAaAa"
Emily shouted in panic and quickly turned around with a sharp knife in her hand.
" WAIT WAIT WAIT! !It's me. Calm down. Put that damn knife down now"
He said with his hands in the air.
"Ahh. You little…. Was it fun scaring me?"
Emily sighed with relief.
"Didn't know you were a scary cat.By the way you are not that bad singer." He said wanting to tease her. "What!..How long have you been watching me huh?"
She asked and her face turned a little red with embarrassment.
"I don't know. Maybe ten minutes. Why are you cooking yourself?Where are the chefs?" He asked, looking around.
"I told them to go. I can cook myself."
Emily flipped over the piece of crispy fish.Daniel smirked. He suddenly wanted to tease her more.
"Huh seriously. Are you ruling over my house or what? I didn't care about you. I was just worried that you might burn up my place. And who gave you the permission to use my kitchen!?Wait. You're not thinking it's your boyfriend's house are you? Get that thought out of your tiny mind right now. I'm not that easy.You'd have to..... "
Emily got furious. A look of great bitterness swept across her face.
" Will you just stop assuming things!?How could I think of being a girlfriend of someone like you? Don't ever talk that way to me again! "
Daniel chuckled.
" What do you mean by "Someone like me"!?
Emily took off the apron.
"I mean… Ohh yes!.. What I was saying was that… actually you.. You are not even handsome!"
She crossed her arms and babbled.
Daniel's eyes widened with surprise. He passed a strange giggle.
Immediately taking his phone out, he opened the front camera and briefly looked at his face. He set his hair and cleared his throat.
" You mean this face of mine? Hahaha! … don't joke around. You know what my employees call me? WORLD WIDE HANDSOME!"
While this chat was going on, Emily smelled something burning beside her.
She swiftly turned around and saw the fish turning black.
Her mouth opened.
"This is all because of you!"
She shouted.
Emily turned off the stove and turned back.
Daniel wasn't there.
"What! Is he a ghost?"
A maid entered and approached Emily.
"Ma'am! Please sit down. I'll cook for you. What do you want to eat?"
She asked her politely and saw the burnt fish.
"It's ok.. I lost my appetite already"
She gave a forceful laugh to her.
Daniel came down rolling his sleeves and sat on the table.
Emily glanced at him and slowly walked to the table.
Daniel was lost in his phone and he didn't notice her or maybe he ignored her.
"Maybe I should leave now."
She stood a distance away from him.
"As you wish!"
He answered rudely.
Emily stood there confused for a moment.
"Ok! Then… goodbye!"
Emily bowed and was about to leave.
"Ma'am! I brought you fish."
The maid saw Emily leave and rushed to her.
"Ah! No no! I told you. I'm not hungry anymore!"
But then her stomach made strange sounds.
"Eat and then go."
Daniel lifted the fork and pointed it out on the chair.
Emily was about to deny again but stopped.
She drew the chair out of the table and sat.
They both ate in silence.
"Where do you live?"
Emily put down his fork and knife.
"I live in a small room beside a cafeteria in the supermarket."
Daniel kept chewing.
"Alone!?"
He asked as if he was curious about her.
Emily moved his lips to answer but suddenly stopped.
"Why are you asking?"
Daniel cleaned his mouth with a napkin and saw the time on his watch.
"Are you thinking I'm some kind of pervert? Huh! I've never met someone who has such a disgusting thought about me!"
Emily didn't say a word then.
Daniel called for his driver and told him to drop Emily off to her house.
"No need! I can go myself. Thankyou"
She said and walked out.
While Emily was on her way to the exit, Daniel ordered one of his men to keep an eye on her.
