MY NAIVE COOK - CHAPTER 47&48

🍃 Clara’s pov 🍃

Next day

Standing Infront of Rose’s room door, I wondered where she would have gone this early.

I have been knocking on the door for some minutes without any response. I can’t possibly badge into her room without her consent.

Walking though the corridor, I saw her coming out from the kitchen with plates in her hands.

“Hey coming” she muttered immediately she sighted me.

“Are you serious”? I blurted out, scoffing lightly.

“What’s that”? She muttered giving me a puzzled look.

“I have been knocking on your door for what seems like forever” I mumbled lowly.

“I am sorry” she mumbled, giving a cheeky smile.

“I was beginning to wonder if you didn’t sleep in your room last night” I snapped playfully chuckling afterwards while she laughed lightly in return.

“Why are you in the kitchen this early anyways” I asked.

“Just wanted to make breakfast earlier than usual, I don’t know when your mum would love to have hers”

“Are you serious, she would have hers when others are having theirs” I mouthed and we both laughed.

“What’s remaining to be done” I muffled, heading into the kitchen while she trailed behind.

“The bread is yet to be toasted” she replied simply.

“You are quite stubborn, I already told you before to not cook without me” I snapped and she chuckled.

“Or don’t you want me to learn how to cook good food for my future husband like you are doing already huh”? I chipped in and she bursted out laughing.

“What’s funny” I snapped sharply.

“Your reason” she mumbled amidst laughter.

“Wh@??ver, you can laugh all you want” I mumbled, rolling my eyes.

“Let me drop theses plates at the dinning table” Rose said, leaving the kitchen.

On the process of thinking about some random stuffs, the flashback of, my last outing with Charles, flooded into my head, making me to chuckle lightly.

That guy is such a psycho and a funny one at that. We literally spent most of our time that night, laughing, he’s such a clown.

He wouldn’t be bad for a boyfriend, I mean he’s handsome, smart, funny, intelligent.

I love the fact that he’s friendly and…..

“What on earth is making Clara blush this hard” Rose muttered, approaching where I stood.

For how long has she being here!

“What”! , I muttered, chuckling lightly.

“It’s so obvious Clara, your cheeks are so reddish right now” she snapped.

“It’s nothing, I am just remembering good memories” I replied, rolling my eyes.

“It’s okay, if you say so” she Muttered simply, taking out some tea cups.

“I went to bed so early last night, I actually wanted us to have a little discussion” I Muttered, lowering my voice.

I don’t know why am feeling shy right now.

“What’s the discussion all about” Rose asked.

“I just wanted you to tell me more about Charles” I blurted out, avoiding her gaze.

“Charles”? She repeated immediately, throwing a puzzled look.

“Yeap” I replied bluntly.

“I really don’t know much about him, we’ve actually not being friends for too long but then I can Ascertain he is he a good person, you can rather ask your brother more about him” she suggested and I rolled my eyes in return.

“Dave wouldn’t ever tell me a thing” I muttered and she laughed.

I almost blew a cover yesterday, he’s still mad at me over that.

“Wait, Did something happen in your last outing with him”? Rose asked, throwing a suspicious glare.

“Nah…..”

“Or you are rather Inlove with him huh”? She added.

“I am..am not…”

“Who’s Charles “? Someone questioned from behind, interupting me.

Omg, Zara!, I am screwed..

“Why did you get here “? I questioned immediately, obviously nervous.

“I didn’t hear anything ” she replied and immediately rushed off to heaven knows where.

I am definitely gonna be the topic during breakfast!

🍃 Rita’s pov 🍃

“Tricia you think this would work”? I mumbled as we stood outside my boss’s house.

“I hope it does” she replied, ringing the door bell. I feel really nervous right now.

This is going to be the second I would be meeting I would be meeting my boss’s girlfriend and now with this fate of mine?

I feel really ashamed of myself.

“Get yourself together or I will leave you and return home” Tricia thr_@tened.

Obviously she’ve observed how nervous I am right now and fortunately, on an attempt to ring the doorbell again, the door opened.

“Good morning” Tricia and I greeted in unison.

“Good morning” the lady who opened the door replied, throwing the how-can-i-help-you look.

She looks so much like my boss, probably she’s his sister.

“My friend here wants to meet with the owner of this House’s girlfriend”! Tricia Muttered, throwing a cheeky smile.

“Your friend can’t talk for herself”? The lady muttered, glancing at me.

“Please just let us meet with her, it’s urgent” Tricia pleaded.

“Wh@??ver” she mumbled and headed inside whilst Tricia and I trailed behind.

You should stop being so nervous, you caused this yourself!, I cautioned myself inward while trying to maintain my composure. I hope this works out.

On getting inside, I saw a familiar face sitting on the couch.

“That’s the lady, my boss’s girlfriend ” I whispered to Tricia who nodded in response.

“Rose you have some visitors” My boss’s supposed sister muttered before sitting down.

“I have visitors “? She repeated lowly, giving us a puzzled look.

She obviously can’t recognise me, the first and last time we met, it was at night.

“Good morning ” I greeted first this time.

“Good.. morning ” she replied slowly, giving the go ahead look.

God help me do this, I prayed inwardly.

“Please sit” she muttered, gesturing us to sit down.

“Thank you ” My friend and I replied together.

“I came to ask you for a favour ” I blurted out lowly.

“Go ahead ” she muttered, staring plainly at us.
“My name is Rita, am….”

“My boyfriend’s secretary ” she completed, cutting me off. She did recognised me!

“Formal, I was sacked” I corrected lowly, fighting everything in me to hold back the tears thr_@tening to fall at any time.

“What happened” she questioned worriedly.

“I messed up, I….”

“Just calm down and talk to me please” she mumbled cutting me off as I struggled to speak.

Rita you need to hold yourself together!

“Ain’t you coming along with me”? Ella asked Anita who lying on the bed, scrolling through her phone.

“I can’t stand Dave getting married to that ?îtçh” Anita replied, scoffing hard.

“She’s no ?îtçh, her name is Rose ” Ella corrected, applying some make-up.

“The thought of the whole $h|t makes me so mad, it’s a slap on my face” Anita chipped in angrily.

“Anita keeping all the grudges wouldn’t take you anywhere, let’s go…”

“I am not going anywhere Ella, let me be please” Anita Interupted, covering her self up with the duvet.

“You must go with me, let me pick a beautiful dress for you” Ella snapped and headed for the wardrobe.

“Awwwwnn, you look so beautiful” Clara muttered, admiring Rose who kept blushing at every little compliment.

“Your wedding dress suits you so well” Sarah complimented.

“Thank you” Rose replied, beaming all smiles.

“Personally selected this gown for her, don’t I deserve an acholade”? Clara mouthed, making a pouch.

“Sure you do” Serah muttered, chuckling afterwards.

“Clara isn’t your gown too short”? Sophie asked, checking out the dress.

“What, I am the maid of honour, I need to wear something different to stand out in the crowd” Clara replied, checking herself out on the mirror.

“Rose would you allow your maid of honour wear this to your wedding huh”? Zara chipped in sharply.

“The dress isn’t too short, it suits her so well” Rose muttered and got an unexpected hug from Clara who stuck out her tongue on Zara.

“That’s my girl” Clara mumbled, chuckling lightly afterwards.

“Birds of same feather, what were you really expecting” Sophie blurted out, making everyone to burst out laughing.

“Clara is Charles coming”? Zara questioned, diverting everyone’s attention.

“Who’s Charles”? Sophie and Serah questions in unison, obviously suprised.

“Thought you said you didn’t hear anything that day” Clara snapped lowly.

“I am surprised you fell for that, that’s so unlike you” Zara retorted immediately.

“Is someone hiding something from us”! Serah muttered, throwing a suspicious stare.

“Uhmm..not really, I wanted to tell you guys when it’s actually official” Clara mouthed lowly.

“So there’s actually something cooking up somewhere” Sophie chipped in, chuckling lightly.

“We are just cool friends getting along for now” Clara muttered, adjusting her dress.

“Hope he’s handsome, not like the last…” Zara blurted out.

“Sure he is, way more than that $cvmbag ” Clara bragged and they all laughed.

“Someone check out mummy’s outfit ” Mrs Sam announced, stepping into the room.

“Awwnn, it’s so beautiful ” Serah complimented first, beaming all smiles.

“Omg, see the shoes “! Clara blurted out, diverting everyone’s attention.

“Mummy got good dressing sense right” Mrs Sam bragged, making some funny poses while they all laughed.

“Omg!, is that our bride” she muttered, approaching Rose.

“She’s so beautiful right mummy”? Sophie asked.

“Yes my dear, she’s looks so gorgeous” Mrs Sam complimented admiring Rose who kept smiling non stop.

“We should get going already” the priest and the guests would be waiting at the church” she muttered leaving the room.

“We are right behind you” Serah shouted, checking herself one last time in the mirror.
