While watching the movie, Harry stood up, "I am going to the bathroom", he said.
"Wait let me come with you", Alayah said.
"No, I am not a baby, I am grownup", Harry said.
"Ha-ha, okay", Aaron said.
"Uncle, don't make Alayah sad again, I am keeping an eye on you", Harry said headed towards the bathroom, then he turned back to see if Aaron is saying something to Alayah or not, then he started walking and before entering in living room he turned again, "Go now! I am saying nothing", Aaron said and Harry left.
"He is so cute", Alayah said to Aaron.
"Yes, he is, he is wiser than his age", Aaron replied, "I was like this too".
"It's difficult to imagine that you were once a child", Alayah said and Aaron laughed.
"Well, my mother says the same", he replied.
"So, how did you develop a passion for cooking?" Aaron asked.
"My mom", Alayah said with smile, "she cooks so well, when I was a child, I used to watch her, at that time watching her was fun, I just used to stand with her, and with the passage of time it became my hobby and I started cooking", she said.
"However, why did you pick it professionally?" Aaron asked.
"Well, when you do something, you enjoy, it ceases to be a job and instead becomes a source of joy", she replied with a smile.
"Work and enjoyment should be kept apart, in my opinion", Aaron replied in a serious tone. Alayah's facial expressions changed too and the smile disappeared.
Harry came back, "Alayah! Let's play with cards", he said.
"Honey, I should clean the kitchen now and after that I will leave", Alayah said and Harry hugged her.
"Miss Alayah! Walter can drop you", Aaron said.
"No, thank you", she said.

AT ALAYAH'S HOUSE (NIGHT):
"Tell me, Alayah, what kept you up so late?" Elin asked while sitting on one of the sofas placed in living room.
"I prepared banana milk and cookies for the boss' nephew when he arrived. He loved them, and as he is so adorable and has lovely curly hair and plump cheeks, he asked me to stay", Alayah said.
"Do you think I am mad; you want to say that you were preparing the cookie till this hour", Elin said.
"Well, we watched a movie", Alayah said.
"Movie? Woah, I am dying to know which kind of movie, tell me the name", Elin said with excitement.
"It was an animated movie, Elin", Alayah replied.
"I am surprised that man watch cartoons with the kid? Well with kids, he is so nice, he loved Harry incredibly", Alayah said.
"So, I assume you no longer hate Mr. Aaron, and I believe that the man, not the child, was the one who urged you to stop", Elin said in a teasing tone.
"Stop it, Elin!" Alayah said and went towards her room.

AT AARON'S HOUSE (NIGHT):
Aaron went into the kitchen prepare himself a cup of coffee and saw the cookies which were placed on kitchen countertop in a tray, he took one cookie, took a bite and the taste of that cookie brought a smile on his face.
In one hand he took the cup of coffee and in other hand he took that tray and went towards the living room, soon the smile disappeared when he saw a number of books which were placed on floor randomly.
They were Harry's comic books, on lamp he observed a cushion fur, he ignored all these things and instead of sitting in living room he decided to sit in his bedroom so he went upstairs.

NEXT MORNING, AT ALAYAH'S HOUSE:
Alayah was applying lipstick while seated in front of the mirror. Usually, she used to apply a lighter shade of lipstick, but today, she used one that was a little dark.
Elin and Luna were watching her from the door of her room.
"Instead of standing there, you guys can come inside", Alayah said without looking at them.
"Well, I was just thinking that my sister is looking so beautiful", Luna said, "would not you let your sister know what happened last night?" she added.
"I cooked cookies, watched a movie and yes had dinner too", Alayah said.
"Oh, come on sister, let us the truth", Luna said.
"Elin, please ask her to shut up otherwise I will kill her", Alayah shouted.
"Luna! Should I need to say anything?" Elin asked in an angry face.
"Please Elin says something, please scold me, you know I couldn't sleep last night because you didn't insult me yesterday, kindly say something", Luna said in a teasing tone.
"Leave", Elin laughingly said.
"Okay fine, I am going to my summer school as it is better than you, I don't need you", Luna said and left.
"Yes, I love you too Luna", Elin yelled, "and your sister loves her boss", Elin said in a teasing tone.
"Elin, my sweetie, love suits you", Alayah said.
"Well, I wasted my chance. Do you remember when I told you about a handsome man who handed me his card?" Elin asked.
"Yes", Alayah said.
"I lost that card, I wanted to call him", Elin replied.
"Leave it, and tell me what should I wear today, I am confused", Alayah asked.
"Wear this one; I made it especially for my first date, but the man never came", Elin pointed at a dress.
"I shouldn't have asked, I'm sorry, I am leaving", Alayah said.
"At least wear something trendy, please do not go to mansion in this causal dress", Elin requested.
"Elin! Stop behaving like Luna", Alayah said and left.

AT AARON'S OFFICE:
Aaron was working on laptop when Henry entered.
"Dude, I have a question for you", Henry said. Aaron looked at him.
"Who was the person who told me the dinner was so excellent that even food from a five-star restaurant is nothing in front of that?" Henry asked.
"It might be my little monkey", Aaron replied with a smile.
"She made her cookies, not ordinary cookies, but Japanese one! Dude, Japanese cookies", Henry said.
"Yes, Harry enjoyed her company", Aaron replied.
"Well, I am so happy that you get a long-term cook", Henry said.
"Long-term? If she didn't follow my house rules, I will fire her, I cannot ask her to keep working just because she spent time with my nephew", Aaron replied.
"Oh, dude just focus on the food, the food was good, that's all you need from a cook", Henry said.

AT AARON'S HOUSE:
When Alayah entered into the kitchen she saw a sticky note in an empty tray, she held it and it was written, "I asked you not to leave anything on my countertop!"
She ignored it and started cooking the meal. Then she entered into the living room and saw another sticky note on lamp, it was written,
"Make my house exactly the same as it used to be!"
She looked at the lamp and saw a cushion fur,
"seriously? He just knows how to give orders, huh" she said and started cleaning the house.
A guard arrived and informed Alayah that she has a visitor, it was Luna. She came inside and sat on kitchen countertop.
"Luna! Why you came here, can't you see this is a work place", Alayah said.
"I just wanted to see the mansion", Luna replied.
"Have you gone mad? Is this a historical place or a museum which you wanted to visit, you should leave now", Alayah said.
"Oh, sister I will go", she said and entered in the living room.
"Luna, please, just sit down don't roam around", Alayah yelled from the kitchen. Meanwhile Alayah received Elin's call.
"Alayah can you believe it?" Elin said.
"No, I can't, Luna is here, I am afraid she might not damage anything", Alayah replied.
"Leave her and just listen to me, I looked at the list of the guests who attended the event and there I found Erik's name too, can you believe this, he is Aaron's friend, just imagine, you and Aaron, me and Erik, woah I am so excited", Elin said.
Meanwhile Luna went into Aaron's room, opened his drawer, she saw hundreds of watches there, she immediately took a watch and put it in her pocket and went downstairs.
"Luna! What were you doing there?" Alayah asked.
"Nothing, sister, I want to tell you that I'll be late today because I have to go to a five-star pub where my friend is planning a party for us", Luna said.
"Okay, so?" Alayah asked.
"So, please give me some pocket money; I need to buy her a present", Luna said.
"Oh, now I understand why you came here", Alayah said.
"Please, my beloved sister, my one and only sister", Luna said and Alayah gave her some money.
While preparing the meal, she noticed that it was merely 4 p.m, so she decided to bake some cookies. Since they were still hot, she placed them on a cooling rack and set it on the countertop, she forgot to put it in jar and left.
