Chapter 5 Empty pot??
“So, from now on, you should call me sister Annie. Hmm.. got that?.”
Larry bursted into an hysterical laughter.
“You must be really out of it. Look here, dummy. I am your boss, do not ever forget that. Geez…”he scoffed.
He walked out of the kitchen but when he got out, he ran up to his room.

“Hmmmm…. hmmmm….”
Annie breathed in the aroma of the food.
This is just gonna be delicious.
She dished the spaghetti and meatballs inside a plate and took a fork and place it beside the plate.
She moved out of the kitchen to the dinning room and met Larry sitting on one of the chairs and typing away on his phone.
“Food is ready.”she announced.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
He raised up his head and raised it back down.
He’s happy that she is finally done with the cooking but he can’t possibly show her that.
He had been been taking in some hungry gulps since when he had been sitting there and the aroma of the food just wouldn’t stop hitting his nostrils.
Annie placed the food down in front of him and he used his left eye to look at it.
His mouth watered.
Wow!. This is gonna be delicious!.
He licked his lips and smiled.
Annie turned to walk away.
“Get me some water, little miss.”he said.
Annie turned to him and frowned.
“Stop calling me little miss, my name is Annie!, hun?, Annie?!.”she almost yelled.
“Yuck!. Did you brush your mouth this morning?.”he made an irritated face.
Annie glared at him before going back to the kitchen and grabbing a bottled water, she walked back to the dinning and slammed it on the table.
“Listen, young man. Because I am your maid doesn’t mean I am your slave. Treat me nicely, hun?.”
Larry scoffed. He dropped his phone on the table.
“As long as you’re still working for me so pay off your debts, you’re my slave.”
“I did not want to be poor, circumstances made us like this.”Annie said.
“Ah, oh. As long as the circumstances lives, you will still be my servant, if not me, another man’s servant.”Larry said nonchalantly.
He drew the food nearer to him and grabbed the fork.
He rolled the spaghetti on the fork and moved it inside his mouth.
His eyes widened in ecstasy.
This is delicious.
When last has he eaten a food like this?.
Wow. This is a Bravo.
The food is damn delicious.
He took another forkful of it and smiled widely.
Woah!.
He suddenly looked up and his gaze met with that of Annie.
He tried to cloud his emotions.
“So salty. Your mother didn’t teach you how to cook also?.”he said.
He was trying so much to get back at her.
She made a fun of him earlier, so, he’s going to do just that now.
“Your expression tells it all. Stop trying!.”Annie scoffed.
“Anyway, what are you still doing.. I believe there’s quite a lot of work to do. That’s why you’re my maid anyway, to work for me, without resting.”he said coldly.
“And, little miss, what you performed earlier in the kitchen – threatening me. Don’t ever let it repeat it self, else, you’re going to sleep in the prison for two days.”
Annie shivered at the thought of sleeping inside a prison.
“Now, off you go, little miss.”
Annie sighed and walked away.
She went to get some water and started cleaning the house.
After an hour, she was almost done with the cleaning.
She passed by the dinning to go to the kitchen and clean it up when she saw him still eating.
The food is still very much in the plate.
*Maybe it’s really salty. For him not to have touched it in the past hour.*she thought.
“Don’t tell me you’re done cleaning.”he said.
“Okay.”she said.
Larry looked at her and scoffed.
“I asked you a question, miss!.”
“Well, you said not to tell you that I’m done cleaning.”she repeated his words.
“And, oh, right. I guess I’m really not done with cleaning just yet.”she gave a sly smile while Larry gave a suspicious look.
What’s she up to this time?.
She moved towards him and stretched out the cloth she has been using in cleaning all this while to clean the crumbs of spaghetti at his bottom lip, by the right.
Larry head snapped up at her.
“I can’t believe you still eat and leave crumbs on your mouth. A thing that my ten years old younger brother will never do.”she scoffed and walked to the kitchen.
Larry froze. Did… did… did she just used that rag to clean his mouth?!!.
The lips other ladies out there are willing to pay a million dollars for, she just cleaned it with a dirty old rag?!.
Annie shook her head as she got inside the kitchen.
Her stomach is empty.
Maybe she should eat the remaining pasta.
She went to the pot and opened it just to find…..
What?!!!?.
An empty pot?!!!??!!!!!!.
