A CRAZY LOVE - Episode 110
On the other hand, a genuine smile could be seen on Kizy’s face.
This was her usual style. Though she would act cold and mean, she always treated people with warmth in her own ways.
“What’s all this fuss about?” A voice was heard from behind.
Kizy turned to look at Markus, who was looking completely wild in his just-woken-up-dishevelled appearance.
And her heart skipped a beat.
Markus was running his hand through his hair, his grey night dress making him look even more appealing, while the sunlight was present as his backdrop, illuminating his insanely handsome face even more.
“Stop drooling little lamb.” Markus said, his voice a little hoarse after waking up.
“You are the one who drools.” Kizy said before turning back, feeling a little embarrassed for being caught red handed while staring at Markus.
“Anyways, what are you doing?” Markus asked, looking at the apron which she was carrying in her hands.
“Cook breakfast for everyone.” Kizy replied, opening the neatly folded apron.
“Everyone? Did you call mom, grandma or grandpa?” Markus asked, his brow raising.
After all, they had met the family members just the previous day. And they were awake till late at night. So why would Kizy disturb them so early?
“No. Everyone means our old chef, butler, head maid and all other maids and servants.” Kizy said with a smile.
“Why them?” Markus asked, his voice raised by a pitch.
“And why not them?” Kizy asked, frowing a little.
“They can do it for themselves. In fact they will make breakfast for all of us. We are paying them.” Markus said.
“I am paying you. Make breakfast for all of us.” Kizy said keeping the apron aside.
“Are you serious?” Markus asked, not knowing what to speak.
“Yes. I am completely serious.” Kizy said, crossing her arms.
“Why should I?” Markus asked.
“Because I am paying you.” Kizy replied, her tone nonchalant.
“You are being illogical and arrogant.” Markus said, his voice turning cold.
“Weren’t you being the same just now.” Kizy said, making him remember his statements.
“Fine. But why for all of them?” Markus asked, not wanting to argue anymore.
“Because it’s new year. They deserve some break as well.” Kizy replied cheerfully, picking her apron once again.
Markus pulled the apron out of her hands.
“Let me do it. You might injure yourself in the process.” Markus said.
“I know how to cook. I have made a lot of dishes till now.” Kizy said, offended by Markus’s statement.
“Still. You just wait. I will do the work.” Markus said.
But Kizy simply ignored him, going back towards the shelf and bringing another apron.
“We will do the work.” Kizy said, opening the apron.
Markus shook his head, before helping Kizy tie the apron around her.
Kizy was standing face to face in front of Markus, while Markus’s arms had encircled her from both sides, tying the knot behind her.
But suddenly, Markus smirked, before pulling Kizy towards him.
“What are you doing?” Kizy asked, her eyebrows knotting.
“Trying to tie the knot. You were standing at a distance, so it was getting difficult for me to tie.” Markus said, his voice magnetic.
With that he came even more closer, loosening the knot made by him and tying it again.
“Who needs this much time for tying?” Kizy said, feeling a weird emotion while being this close with Markus, his hot breath fanning her cold bare neck.
“Almost done.” Markus once again said in his hoarse voice, before moving back, purposefully lightly brushing past her ear with his lips, knowing it was her sensitive spot.
Kizy immediately turned pink from blushing, moving step back.
“Now help me tie the apron wifey.” Markus said, placing the apron straps over his shoulder and bending so that his face was at level with Kizy’s, just inches away.
Kizy was a little dazed at the sudden proximity, still remembering his feather light lip touch on her ear.
“You are doing it?” Markus asked, his face getting even more closer to Kizy’s.
“What?” Kizy asked subconsciously, not knowing how Markus was teasing her.
“Weren’t you going to tie the knot?” Markus bent even more, whispering in her ear, making Kizy’s brain clouded.
Kizy didn’t even reply this time, her eyes closing as a reflex, anticipating something.
But almost a minute passed, yet Markus neither spoke another word, nor touched her.
Finally Kizy opened her eyes confusedly, only to find a Markus standing straight in front of her, amusingly looking at her.
“What were you thinking little lamb?” Markus asked, his voice normal now.
“Nothing.” Kizy said.
“My apron.” Markus replied.
“Huhh?” Kizy asked, still a little confused and flustered, not knowing why she had closed her eyes, or what she was waiting for, or why she was feeling disappointed.
“You were going to tie my apron.” Markus said, once again bending ahead.
But this time Kizy wasn’t falling for it again.
She stepped back before turning and going behind Markus, quickly tying the knot and coming ahead.
Markus tried to stifle his laughter which was thr_@tening to come out.
“So what are we cooking today?” Markus asked, rolling his sleeves back.
“Burritos and muffins.” Kizy said excitedly.
“Ain’t your standards a little too high? I don’t even know how to make burritos. I can only make muffins.” Markus said, his tone complaining.
“Ok. Wait. I will make the muffins and let it bake. Till then we can prepare burritos together.” Kizy replied.
With that she started making the muffins while Markus stood there, watching her.
“I think you should add more sugar. This would taste plain.” Markus said after looking at the process.
“What do you know? I know how to make muffins.” KIy replied.
“Okay.” Markus said and stood there silently.
Soon Kizy was done putting it in the oven.
“Let’s chop vegetables together. You will do half of them while I do the rest half veggies.” Kizy said and started with her chopping.
Once they were done, they heated the pan and cooked the contents, seasoning it well.
“You go and bring those tortillas.” Kizy said, stirring the contents in the pan.
Markus was happy watching this. He could see that the burritos would come out truly well from its aromatic smell.
“What’s this smell?” Suddenly Markus said, frowning.
“Dungeon.” Kizy answered in one word, stunning Markus a little before asking the driver to start for the given destination.
“Are you sure? You want to visit the dungeon on the very first day of the new year?” Markus asked.
“Yeah of course. Anyways call Joel. Ask him to join us in the dungeon meeting room within half an hour.” Kizy said.
Markus called Joel, who as usual picked his call up on the very first ring, even when he was fast asleep, enjoying his rare holidays.
“Hello boss. Good afternoon. Happy new year to you and your family.” Joel replied energetically, as if he had been wide awake for long now.
“Hmmm. Meet me in the dungeon meeting room within half an hour.” Markus answered and ended the call.
‘Did something happen on the very first day of the new year? Who angered the boss to make him personally appear in the dungeon?’ Joel thought, immediately going towards the bathroom, knowing he was supposed to be there at the asked venue within exactly half an hour.
“Are you even human?” Kizy asked, frustrated by the way Markus treated his employees.
“What’s your problem stupid woman? I have been trying to control my temper since morning. Yet you are only calling me names, criticizing me and shouting at me!!” Markus flared at Kizy.
“Then try to treat others as human Markus! I wanted you to ask Joel to join us for lunch. You made it sound as if he would suffer a death penalty if he isn’t seen in meeting room within half an hour.” Kizy argued back.
“Weren’t you the one who wanted him in the meeting room within the given time?” Markus backfired.
“Yeah but we are gathering to celebrate Marlus! Not some business deal where he has to be on toes all the time. Forget it.” Kizy said, taking out her own cell phone.
“Hello Young Miss. Happy New year. Don’t worry, I’ll be there in ten minutes.” Joel replied hurriedly.
“Joel stop wherever you are and take a deep breath.” Kizy said politely.
“Huhh?” Joel asked, not knowing what exactly was happening.
“I said take a deep breath.” Kizy said.
“Yes young miss.” Joel said.
“Happy new year to you too. Now listen. We don’t have any urgent work. Just try to reach the dungeon soon. There’s no time limit or anything like that. Take your time.” Kizy replied.
“But-” Joel was still speaking when Kizy interrupted.
“Don’t speed past the limit. Just be there soon.” Kizy said and ended the call.
‘Is there something wrong with either boss or young miss? Both of them are saying the complete opposites.’ Joel thought, but slowed down a little in his actions.
Markus didn’t say anything for the rest of the ride while Kizy wanted him to reflect on himself.
Finally they reached the base. But this time Kizy already knew the way. She didn’t wait for Markus and walked ahead, leaving an even more frustrated Markus behind.
‘Is she hell bent on making me angry today? She could just explain politely. Why make a fuss out of it?’ Markus thought, realising his mistake. But he just wanted Kizy to explain it more nicely. He took the sweets and snacks that Kizy had purchased, before following behind her.
“Good afternoon lady boss.”
“Happy New Year, lady boss.”
“Welcome lady boss.”
All the men immediately greeted Kizy who politely greeted them back with a smile.
‘Look at her being all nice and gentle to others. Shouldn’t you treat me even more better than them? Why this partiality?’ Markus thought, feeling abandoned.
Kizy politely kept responding to everyone before standing in front of the dungeon, waiting for the men to open the doors.
“Sorry lady boss, we need our boss’s permission to open this gate.” One of the men tried to gather his courage and spoke as gently and politely as he could.
Kizy turned to look back at Markus, who finally stopped sulking and gave a Ç0ç?y look.
“Either you ask them to give me equal rights as you have, or I am leaving you forever.” Kizy said, her tone showed how pissed she was.
Of course, if it would have been her first time to the base, she would have neglected this.
But they all already knew that she was their ladyboss, yet they were not giving her any rights to the place. How was she supposed to stay quiet?
And the next second….
“Do you wanna die?” Markus asked in a cold voice, scaring the hell out of those gatekeepers.
He was already irritated enough. If Kizy was to leave, then he would have to once again start a search for her, especially when half the team was supposed to have a holiday, which was something that Markus never wanted.
“Ssoo.. sorry boss.” They immediately apologised.
“You should apologize to her, not me.” Markus said, his tone dropping by another octave, making the temperature drop as well.
“Sorry ladyboss.” All the men immediately knelt on the ground with a ‘thud’, cooling Kizy’s anger.
“Just get up and open the gates.” Kizy said, not looking at Markus anymore.
“Yes ladyboss.” A man said and instantly opened the gate, not daring to tarry even a moment.
Kizy directly walked inside while being greeted by a scream as her welcome.
She directly followed the sound, before coming in front of a prison cell where Ruth was torturing a middle aged man.
“Ruth.” Kizy called out with a smile, her anger dissipated completely.
Ruth, who was still acting like a hell queen, turned behind, her expression going from extreme cold to warm smile in seconds.
“Lady boss!!” Ruth exclaimed, ignoring the man behind her.
“Let’s leave him for today. Continue torturing him tomorrow.” Kizy said, while walking inside.
“Wait ladyboss. I’ll come out.” Ruth said, almost running out of the cell to stop Kizy from entering the dirty place.
“Happy New Year dear.” Kizy said with a genuine smile.
“Happy New year ladyboss!” Ruth greeted energetically, making Kozy remember Joel, who was always this energetic whenever she or Markus called him.
“Ask everyone in the base to come into the meeting room.” Kizy paused.
“Except the ones who are gatekeeping for the dungeon.” Kizy said.
