MY NAIVE COOK - CHAPTER 39&40
🥀 Rose’s pov 🥀
6: 30am by Next day
Staring at the screen of my phone once more. I sighed worriedly. My boss haven’t being picking up his call since last night.
He told me he was gonna call me last night after his meeting but he didn’t. Hope he is okay.
He informed us informed us yesterday morning before leaving for work that meeting might end very late and he might likely not be able to come back.
He has never slept outside since I came here and worried he isn’t picking up his calls and he has not called back either.
Clara was so worried last night, I hope she’s not okay now.
Stepping into the sitting room, I met Clara coiled up in the couch. That’s so unusual.
“Hey good morning” I greeted as I approached her.
“What’s good about this morning” she mumbled.
“Are you okay”? I asked, sitting beside her
“I am not, obviously” she replied, staring into the space.
“What…..”
“Ain’t you worried my brother is yet to be back huh”? She questioned, cutting me off.
“I am but then I know he would definitely be back this morning” I replied.
I am even more worried than she could ever imagine.
“Has he done this before”? She asked, facing me this time.
“Nope” I replied.
Since I started living here, my boss has never slept out before.
“He said that the company would be having a midnight meeting, have you forgotten he told us this yesterday”? I reminded.
“I know, it’s morning already and he should be back by now already” she muttered, picking up her phone.
I guess she want to try calling him again.
“He’s not…..”
A knock came at the door, cutting me off on the process.
“Let me go check” I Muttered and immediately headed to the door.
“Good morning ” I greeted immediately I opened the door only to see Anita standing before me, beaming all devilish smile.
“Awwwwnn, wifey duties” she blurted out in return, laughing out loud afterwards.
What’s so funny this early morning?, I wondered as I stared plainly at her.
“You are suprised to see me right”? She questioned, chuckling afterwards.
“Suprised, why should I be”? I retorted sternly.
“Ohhh, I see you are getting bold now huh”? She muttered, lowering her eyes.
“What are you doing here this early morning”? I asked lowly and she laughed.
This lady is the least of my worries right now.
“How about you let me in first, then I will tell you why I came” she suggested Instead.
“Why should I let you in”? I asked and she rolled her eyes.
“Don’t be rude, you have no place in this house anyways” she snapped, scuffing afterwards.
“Who’s that”? Clara asked, approaching the door.
“You again”? She mouthed immediately on seeing Anita.
“Hey, good morning” Anita greeted, not leaving her nonstop smiles.
“What’s so good about this morning with you here”? Clara snapped at her sharply.
“That’s so mean Clara” She mouthed, faking a crying face.
“What brought you here this early morning”? Clara questioned.
“Something very memorable” she replied, giggling afterwards.
“Anita I don’t have time your….”
“Guess what”? She chipped in, cutting Clara off immediately while smiling.
Is this lady okay at all?
“Okay give me a sec” she muttered, opening her handbag.
“I have good news to share with you both” she blurted out, scrolling through her phone.
Good news, what could that be?, I wondered within, not taking my eyes off her.
Wait, why is she not insisting on seeing my boss today?
That’s so unusual.
“Have a look” she muttered, stretching her phone towards us.
“What d@mn stupid thing is that”? Clara snapped, moving back a little bit.
“How about you check out what it is”? She replied, chuckling.
Glancing at the phone for from where I stood, I could barely see anything on the phone.
“Give me the phone” I muttered and she immediately handed over the phone.
The video was dark, I couldn’t even see clearly but then, I saw something very familiar.
The lady in the video is wearing same clothes as Anita and the guy….?
Am I imagining things?
“What scrap is that”? Clara questioned, the phone from my hand.
“What nonsense is going on here Anita”? She snapped, not taking her eyes out from the screen.
“What does it look like” Anita replied, giggling.
“You spent the night with my brother “? Clara asked unbelievably.
“Nope, we spent the night together ” she blurted out, laughing afterwards.
Like seriously?
“I can’t believe this scrape Anita” Clara muttered, throwing the phone back to her.
“But it’s actually really, I…”
“Stop dreaming and leave right now ” Clara snapped, cutting her off.
“Sure…” She mouthed amidst laughter.
Is this some sort of joke or what?
Am I dreaming?
🍀 Dave’s pov 🍃
“Ouch”! I winced in pain, rubbing my forehead slightly. I am having a terrible headache right now, probably a hangover or wh@??ver.
Not like I took too much drink last night, I guess I just suck at taking alcohol.
Just then, the flash back of last night’s events flooded into my head.
What the actual heck is wrong with Anita?, Was so suprised she could go this extra mile.
I wonder what she was thinking in the first place. I hope the demeaning scold I gave her last night would be enough to ward her off.
She’s becoming too irritating. Why wouldn’t she just let me live my life in peace.
Both of us do understand we aren’t working out. She understood too well that the love was only one sided. Why is she suddenly acting so obsessed with me.
I am so sure she’s upto something and I think I know what it really is. It’s obvious I am being too free with her.
I already informed her last night, I was gonna report her to the police for stalking if she comes after me or anyone close to me ever again.
It’s obvious she’s finally loosing it.
How on earth did she enter my room last night?
“Arrrrgg…, this is so annoying” I mumbled, laying my head on the car seat back rest.
My phone vibrated, it’s a text from Rita. I didn’t even speak with her last after the meeting.
Wait, where’s the other phone?
Searching briefly, I found it on my inner suitcase.
“Thirty freaking missed calls “? I blurted out immediately on opening the phone.
I am screwed!
How could I not have gotten in touch with people at home throughout the night.
They must have been dead worried!
I only went with my office phone to the meeting.
I made the rules, I couldn’t possibly defile it myself. How am I going to explain this to them?
“Sir we are here” My driver Muttered, jolting me out of my thoughts.
“Thank you” I mumbled, dragging myself out of the car.
On stepping Into the house, I met Clara pacing around the sitting room and stopped immediately she sighted me.
“Hey” I blurted out, chuckling nervously.
“You think it’s funny”? She snapped sternly.
How would I handle this lady before me right now. She’s so annoyed with me and it’s so obvious.
“Hey you know I wouldn’t do that on purpose right”?, I mumbled lowly, trying so hard to keep a convincing face.
“Wait, you actually did it”? She questioned, disappointment written clearly on her face.
“I am sorry” I muttered. I hope this could work. If she’s reacting this way, I wonder what Rose would do.
“I am so disappointed Dave, how could you even do that”? She snapped, sitting down gently on the couch, burying her face into her palms.
Why is she taking this so serious. Isn’t this just about the missed calls?
“Hey, I said I am sorry, I was just so busy with….”
“Anita, huh..”? She snapped sharply, cutting me off.
“What do you mean”? I Muttered lowly not grapping what she just said.
“You could have informed us that you are not there having a good time and not just leaving us to worry….”
“Clara watch your tongue ” I interupted sharply.
“What are you talking about “? I questioned, lost in the whole conversation.
“Anita came here this morning ” she replied plainly, staring into the space.
“What, why”? I blurted out nervously.
Hope it’s not what I am thinking..
“She came to show us how you both night spent your night” she muttered , staring directly into my face this time.
“Us..”? I repeated and she scoffed.
“Yes us, Rose and I” she replied, rolling her eyes this time.
“What exactly did she show you guys”? I asked, not sure of that was the best thing to do.
“What else”? She muttered, chuckling afterwards. She’s so pissed at me.
“I don’t know what Anita showed you guys but trust me, nothing happened between us last night” I said lowly while Clara laughed lightly, clearly sarcastic.
“Are you serious”? She asked amidst laughter.
Why is she being so sarcastic about this thing.
“I wasn’t on my right frame of mind when Anita came to my room last night, I can’t even relate all that happened but I am quite sure nothing bad happened” I convinced.
“You weren’t in your right frame of mind, you can’t be sure nothing happened between…”
“I am so sure, I remember pushing her out of my room, and I was still had my pants on at least” I added and she nodded.
“I don’t believe her either but then the video she came with this morning was saying otherwise” she muttered, this time I became quite.
She recorded?
“Clara trust me, nothing….”
“Don’t you think someone else needs this explanations more than I do “? She snapped, cutting me off.
Rose..
“I know but then I don’t know how to go about that to be frank ” I mumbled, worriedly.
“Someone finally opened up to his feelings ” she muttered with a smirk.
“Do I really a choice right now ” I retorted and she chuckled.
“How about you help a brother “? I pleaded and she rolled her eyes.
“How about a brother taking the responsibility of his carelessness himself “? She mimicked.
“So stubborn ” I scoffed and she bursted out laughing this time.
How exactly am I gonna go about all this?
I have never seen Rose Angry or disappointed before. How do I approach her?
Anita you caused all this!
