Episode 6
THE NEXT DAY
Elvis woke up very early at 3 am and emptied part of the trash cans in the living room, passage toilets and bathrooms, excluding his room and the kitchen then went back to sleep.
Four hours later when he woke up, the house was spotless and Lucy was no where to be found.
He was really surprised and just as he was wondering where she was, she came out of the kitchen with a plate in her hands.
She set the table and barely looked at him.
He sat on a chair and picked a spoon. “I see you’re pretty good at doing your job huh?
“Yeah sure” she replied and sat opposite him, digging into her food immediately.
He stabbed his fork on the small meats in the food to taste.
It’s been long I ate a food someone else cooked. He put the meat in his mouth and chew, the taste was heavenly. He dug into the food instantly as his stomach rumbled.
She’s not only a maid but she can cook even better than the woman I hate.
Elvis saw her sneaking a glance at him, her face neutral.
He cleared his throat and motioned to the food, “how could you prepare this?” he asked.
“What’s wrong?” she asked.
“Everything, it’s tasteless” he replied.
“And you finished it within a twinkle of an eye?” She mocked.
He looked at his plate, there were only a few crumbs remaining in the plate. “I ate all because I was hungry” he replied bluntly.
“Really?” She taunted.
“Ugh…….. I’m not having this conversation, especially with an ordinary maid” he stood up.
Something flickered through her eyes, it went away before Elvis could identify it.
This girl better goes back from where she’s coming home, I’m not used with people being familiar with my house except from Pat and his family. He decided to try again.
“I’m giving you another chance, I give you a signed check, you write any amount you want and you leave my house” Elvis said.
“Not interested” she flipped me off.
“Okay cool. I’m organizing a party this night and you’re to prepare over 60 variety of food.” he told her.
