Mrs blaze was at the mansion having fun with the other family members. Erica stayed in Mrs blaze house until 10:00 pm then she stood up and went home.
Edison came back home "Aunt you are here."
"Yes dear your mom said I should stay with you guys so that I'll be taken care of better." Edison smiled Sarah brought Mrs blaze phone.
"Aunt Erica has called you 30 times." Mrs blaze took the phone "Oh my God she must've been worried about me." Mrs blaze said and she called Erica. Erica picked up "Ma, thank god you called me or I would've fainted I was at your house since nine this evening but you were not at home." The phone was on loudspeaker.
"Yes I decided to stay with my family I'm moving out."
"That's good news and also bad news."
"And why do you say so."
"The good news is you'll get to live with your family and be well taken care of and the bad news is I'll miss you a lot because you've moved out from our neighbourhood I won't be able to see you frequently."
"Yes you can, you can visit me anytime you want."
"I'm sorry Ma that I didn't come I asked my boss if I could leave but he didn't let me instead, he said I should submit my resignation letter how can he tell me such when I've only worked in his restaurant for a day and today we had lots of customers."
"Really?" Mrs blaze said looking at Edison.
"Yes ma if he wants me to resign I will but not until I've found a better job even if it's not to be a cook as long as the job will get me away from seeing his face and talking to him I'm okay." Erica said. Edison heard it and he frowned.
"Okay dear I'll hang up now go to bed tomorrow you still have to wake up early."
"Yes ma I should go to bed so that I can go to work by 5:00 in the morning to make the grumpy boss satisfied." Erica hing up.
Everyone laughed at Edison. "You see brother she even agrees that you are grumpy." Sarah said. Edison went upstairs.
"I totally agree with Erica she understands us." Elizabeth said.
"We also forgot to tell her about the job here." James said.
"Oh yes tomorrow I'll go to see her at the restaurant." Mrs blaze said.
Edison was fuming in his room "She dare insult me in front of my family members tomorrow I'll teach her a lesson." Edison said.
The next day, Erica prepared for work her aunt called her "Erica the money has been transferred to our account what do we use it to do."
"Aunt we'll share the money into two we'll give half to the children's orphanage down the street as donation and the other half we'll use it for household expenses. Aunt if there's anything you want to buy you can take it from there."
"Nice when you are free we will donate the money to the orphanage."
"Yes aunt I'll get going now I don't want to be late."
Erica arrived at white Chillies she entered the kitchen and was shocked to see Edison in the kitchen.
"Sir what are you doing here."
"Are you going to ask me what I'm doing in my own kitchen."
"Sorry sir." Erica said. Edison remembered what she said on the phone last night. Erica entered the dressing room and wore her chef uniform. After wearing the uniform she came out. She joined other chefs to prepare the meals on their menu. Each time she kept on looking at Edison and also tried not to stay close to him. Erica went to the sink to rinse her hand so did Edison and they bumped into each other Erica looked at him she then gave way for him to wash first. After he finished washing then she too washed her hands.
Outside, the restaurant had waiters that took orders and serves the food and also people at the counter who dish food for the waiters to serve. Erica sat down.
"What are we going to make for today's special." Emily asked.
"Us chefs eat the leftover." Erica looked at them she remembered in her Mom's recipe book how to turn leftovers into something appetising. She stood up "Do we have any leftover ingredients."
"Yes a lot."
"Then we can make something special out of it something that can go with the leftovers and it will be as if we are eating in heaven."
"Yes that works for me too."
"Before we close from work we'll prepare the meal."
Erica's phone rang she picked the call "Hello Ma."
"Erica I'm outside please come out." Erica went outside to see Mrs blaze. "Ma what are you doing here."
"I came to ask a favour from you."
"Please come inside." They sat on a chair.
"Erica please can you come and work in the mansion as our chef."
"Chef? Ma I've already gotten a job in white Chillies and I'm doing well also, I've formed a good relationship with others so we're good."
"At home there is nobody who prepares delicious meals for us James tries but he's still learning and also Sarah is just a teenager and I and Elizabeth are aged if we start working in the kitchen now, we'll have health issues and Edison is always at work so there is no one else."
"Ma it'll be difficult to work here and at home and also sir will not approve of it."
"He has, we already spoke to him."
"Okay Ma If sir is okay with it I can definitely work in two places all these time I've been dreaming of having a job now jobs are coming at me."
"I'll see you in the house tomorrow."
"Tomorrow? I've not gotten sir's permission and we also have to schedule."
"Okay see you whenever you schedule I'm going now."
"Bye Ma." Mrs blaze stood up and left.
Edison agreed and Erica wrote down her schedule. The important thing to do in white Chillies is to prepare the first menu of food she can do that from 7am in the morning but the Hadley's breakfast falls at the same time that means she would have to be at the Hadley's mansion first in the morning then before 7am she is done preparing their breakfast then she'll move on to white Chillies.
"This is gonna be stressful I'll just take this as doing charity which I love so much." Erica said.
