22. It tastes so good

Vera's point of view:

I woke up, feeling so embarrassed. I haven't forgotten last night. What the heck came over me? What gave me the courage to kiss Mr Green eyes. I was so embarrassed when I finally snapped into reality; I guess he was shocked with my action because he didn't kiss me back. What will he think of me now?

“Ahhh!!" I groaned and tossed restlessly on the bed. He spent long hours in the bathroom and that gave me the opportunity to sleep off before he joined me on the bed.

He's not in the room, I'm sure he must have left for work.

I sat up from the bed and held my chest; my heart is beating rapidly. This is what I fear, this fragile heart of mine will definitely fall for Mr Green eyes. I really need to leave this mansion before things get worse, I can't fall for a playboy…. I will get hurt in the end. But how can I leave this mansion when every plan I hatched failed.

My stupid mind is still thinking about the same man I want to get rid of from my thoughts. I can't stop thinking about how soft his lips were, why do I feel that I'm getting obsessed with his lips. I have never kissed in the past and now that I did, I feel so much excited about it but this is not the man I should kiss and love the way his lips taste; I should only feel this way for a man that should love me.

Groaning in frustration, I climbed down the bed and sauntered towards the bathroom. I took a quick bath, put on a flexible dress and took the elevator to the ground floor.

“Good morning ma'am," Ava, Ruth and Bella greeted the moment I entered the dining room. I responded with a bright smile and took my seat.

They served my meal, after eating I went to the garden to water the flowers. They wanted to stop me but I said no, I want to water the flowers because I love doing it. I won't allow these people to turn me into a lazy ass, I do nothing but laze around all day; they won't let me leave the mansion either.

The girls volunteered to help me. That was better, I don't mind them helping me instead of trying to do the job themselves. Well, they have gardeners who take care of the gardens but I asked them to leave the work for me and my friends. They objected at first but later agreed.

“This is so fun!" I giggled as I water each flower diligently.

“Yes!" My friends agreed. They are happy too.

Because we were so excited watering the flowers, we didn't feel a bit of weakness when we watered the two gigantic gardens at the backyard and front yard respectively.

When we were done, I forced Ruth to swim with me. I already got my swimsuit when I went to my house after that scary lady threw me out of the mansion. I have a spare swimsuit that I haven't worn yet so I brought it for Ruth.

“Please ma'am, I can't swim with you. Alpha will be furious, I can't handle his wrath." Ruth was begging me to let her go.

“Don't worry Ruth, he won't find out and if he does I will protect you so you don't need to be scared." I did my best to try convincing.

I'm speaking as if I will be able to protect Ruth from Mr Green eyes when I myself am actually a bit scared of that man.

Well, if he tries to punish Ruth; I will take the punishment instead of her. I just need someone to swim with me, I love having company while swimming. It is fun swimming with a second party, and more fun when you set silly challenges on who will swim faster than the other.

At last, I was able to cajole Ruth into swimming with me. It was fun. Ava and Bella were cheering for us especially when we set up a challenge on who will swim faster. Ava was cheering for me while Bella was cheering for Ruth.

“I won," I holler in excitement when I finally reach the end of the swimming pool. Ava screamed excitedly and hugged me when I got out of the pool. Ruth and Bella faked a sad face and in the next second, they joined us in the laugh full of excitement.

I can't remember the last time I was this happy, today was so fun for me. I'm glad that my friends are no longer scared of me, they are now open to me as we talk and gist over a lot of things.

It was already time for dinner, so I went to the kitchen; the cooks were about to prepare the dinner.

“Listen guys, you don't need to cook today. I will do the cooking, I'm going to cook for everyone in this mansion!" I announced and my words brought a shock and surprise expression on their faces.

“No ma'am, we can't allow you to cook. It's our job to cook." Of course, I know the cooks will object.

“Ma'am she's right. You are not allowed to cook or do anything in this house. Alpha will punish everyone if he comes back and meets you cooking." My friends also tried to convince me not to cook.

No, I'm not going to listen to any of them. I love cooking, it makes me happy and I've missed cooking.

How can Mr Green eyes give these people such orders, I will definitely speak to him about it. I don't want to sit around doing nothing; for example I can cook because it's one thing I do very well and it makes me happy.

“You guys don't need to panic, I got you all covered. I won't allow your boss to punish you okay. Just give me the chance to cook; believe me I'm such a great cook, you will definitely love my cooking." I said in a convincing tone.

As expected, it wasn't easy to make them allow me to cook dinner. I was happy when they finally did.

I prepared lots of delicacies and the maids helped me bring the food to the dining table.

“Now, everybody should sit down and let me serve you!" I holler after the table is set. I'm just so excited to prepare all these dishes, I'm sure they will taste so good.

No one was sitting, they all stood sharing surprise glances among themselves.

“Ava, Ruth, Bella, come sit and let me serve you. I want you guys to eat the food and tell me if it tastes good." I dragged my friends to the seats but they refused to sit down.

“Ma'am, we have no right to sit here and we are the ones to serve you and not you serving us," Ava said, others supported her.

I frowned. “Your Alpha is not here and he's not going to know if we eat together as one big family. Come on, you all should sit down already. I want to know if my cooking is good. I want to be a chef in the future and I can't be one if nobody eats my food and tells me my flaws so I'd improve." I pouted.

“Mr. Butler," I called the butler who joined us in the dining room. “Come sit down." I dragged him to a seat.

“Ma'am please, we can't…."

“You can't eat here because your Alpha says no." I completed his sentence. “But he's not here, right? So there's no need to be scared."

He still protested. In the end I said one thing that made them shudder and quickly sat down to eat.

“If you guys don't do as I say, I will lie to your Alpha that you are treating me badly. I'm sure he's going to believe me and he will punish you all." I only wanted to scare them.

I smiled. My words got to them but the butler didn't join us, this man is just so stubborn. I ended up dragging him to the seat not minding his protest. My friends were also seated.

I was happy, I excitedly wanted to serve them and of course, they wouldn't let me and rather serve themselves. I took my own seat and served myself.

“Okay, tell me; how does it taste, good?" I asked with my eyes boring on each of their faces.

“It tastes so good!" They all exclaim with a bright and convincing smile on their faces, I believe they weren't faking it to please me. I was so happy.

Suddenly a husky voice came behind us. I quickly recognized it as Mr Green eye's voice.

“What's going on here?"

The servants all panicked and stood up from their seats, trembling. I gave them a look that they shouldn't fear, I won't let Mr Green eyes punish them but it looks like they don't believe me. I pouted; why won't they trust me?

“I asked what's going on here!" I literally flinched at the intensity of his voice but I didn't let myself get scared.

I smiled and called out to him, walking towards him. I recognized the two young and handsome guys with him, one of them is the one that was so inquisitive about me— the other one, I don't quite know him but I saw him with him the other day.

“Mr Green eyes," I called as I excitedly scuttle towards him and held his arm.

“Come eat with us," I said, dragging him to the table.
