EVENING TIME
After Daphne finished with her work, she was about to retire to her room to rest, she came in contact with some maids discussing.
"I don't know the reason why someone like her, would come here to work as a housemaid, she can't cook, neither did she have the strength to work, she's just a lazy brat," A maid by Xena slurred her.
"The funniest thing is the rubbish she cooked this morning called food, I can't chew the food, and madam instructed us not to cook any food. Wanting us to manage the rubbish she cooked," The second maid replied sarcastically, her voice led with mockery.
"Thank God, that Tessy is the one cooking this evening, I can't wait to taste her delicacies," She said, grinning like a Cheshire cat.
"Mhmm," Daphne made a sound.
They jumped and faced the direction, that echoed the sound.
"I'm sorry, I frightened you," She replied in an apologetic tone.
"Esssshhh", They hissed simultaneously, looked at her disdainfully, and they walked away.
Since she heard Tessy was the one cooking tonight, she raised her brows to check the time on the wall, checking if is time for the dinner food preparation.
Seeing the time, she headed to the kitchen immediately, she met Tessy getting ready to prepare dinner.
"Good evening," she greeted Tessy, but she didn't bother to reply to her, she neglected her presence, and was singing a hip-hop song, shaking his waist to the beat of the song.
Daphne wasn't bothered at all about her response, rather she moved closer to her, and peeped at what she was about to cook.
"What did you think you are doing?" Tessy asked her.
"Madam said, I should come and learn how to cook from you since you are the best chef here," Daphne replied.
"Today is the last time, I will cook on your behalf, you better open your eyes widely and see everything I will cooking, " Tessy said rudely, she hasn't finished speaking when David slammed the door open, making both of them look at the door at the same time.
"What are you doing here? don't tell me you still want to prepare poison for my family?" David said, his expression always saddened whenever he came in contact with Daphne.
Tessy left what she was doing, and rushed towards David.
"Young master, Am the one cooking dinner, What did you want sir?"
"Hey, you get me fruit juice, and add two cups, bring it to my room," David said rudely, referring to Daphne, and turned to walk away, but he halted and turn back again.
"Tessy, thank God you are the one cooking, please make the food delicious, my woman is around," David politely to her, and walked away.
Tessy's eyes beamed cause David spoke to her politely, everyone staff in the mansion knows how rude he is.
Proudly She walked backward to continue the food, "Are you going to just stand there," Tessy snapped at her.
Without bothering to replied her, Daphne opened the fridge and brought out Juice, she placed it on a tray and placed two cups on it.
She stepped her feet out of the kitchen and headed to David's room, David has been her childhood crush and seeing him pampering his woman, but having hatred for her, makes her sad.
Sometimes Daphne wished he can remember his childhood days and knows how he used to protect her, but it seemed all was in the past now.
Daphne didn't see David treating her better in years to come, now she is going to accept the rejection.
"Ko Ko ko," She knocked on the door.
"Comes in," She entered the room and was welcomed with a scene that makes her eyes tear.
David was on top of Flora, playing with her cheeks, using his lips to design his cheeks.
Hurriedly Daphne dropped the tray in her down, she could no longer look at them, she turned to run away but was halted by David's angry voice.
"Have you greeted my woman?"
"No sir," Forcefully comes out from Daphne's mouth.
She turned and faced them, her eyes can't pretend even if she tell herself everything is okay, her eyes had welled up with tears.
"Good evening ma," Daphne greeted, Although Flora ignored her greetings.
Daphne took the silence as an answer, then she exited the room.
she sniffed in and out, she cleaned the tears on her eyelids.
She closed her eyes and mentally recited ''I will be okay," she said drill
"What is wrong with you? why is your face teary cause you see them together?" Her other self rebuked Daphne.
"I'm not the teary cause of them, I think something might have entered my eyes," she replied to her other self.
"It better be," She said in a warning tone.
Ever since Daphne came in contact with David all her childhood crush memory that has faded away after many years, rushed back into her memory.
She could remember every promise they made to each other, unfortunately, Daphne was the only one with the memory of the promise.
She yelled at herself for having a teary eye, He has chosen Flora and there is nothing you can do about it.
She comforted herself, and encourage r to hate him, cause he took her virginity forcefully.
"No, you want it. he didn't take it by force,"
"No I didn't want it, He took it by force," Daphne snapped back at her other self.
"Then why don't you shout for help," Hearing her other self questioning her, made her go crazy, cause she was against her decision.
********
David stepped down from Flora, he stood up to get her the juice.
"Why did you hate the girl? I wondered why. Whenever I visited, I always see you bullying her?" Flora asked, she stopped up and sat down, looking into David's eyes for an answer.
"Nothing, I don't just like the girl at all, she is too dumb and lazy, can you believe that she can't cook? a lady for can't cook," David badmouthed her.
"That's bad, a housemaid that can't cook. Anyway, I just hope the hatred remained hatred, I don't want to hear a story that touched," Flora said jokingly.
"What did you mean," David said, his temples throbbing with rage as he said this.
The rage in his voice makes Flora to winced.
"I'm just joking," Flora changed her tone immediately.
"Better," David said and stretched the juice to her.
She collected the juice and busted into laughter.
"Babe, when did you want us to get married?" Flora asked.
"Very soon," David replied.
"Why not now?" Flora said, wanting David to change his mind.
"Not now babe, but very soon,"
"I'm coming," David said, he picked up his phone and walked out.
Flora's phone rang just as David stepped out, she picked up the phone and my gist partner popped out as the caller.
"Hello babe, how far about last night?" The caller asked Flora over the phone.
