Chapter 63
Kael’s POV
I pecked her neck and smirked.
“I didn’t ask for your help Leigh.” She gulped and shivered then tried to move away from me.
“Am sorry Sir. Please what do y… What do you need? Please let me go”
I inhaled deeply as I took in her scent. She smelled nice. As always.
“I need you” I drawled and pressed my hand on her abdomen, she winced.
“Sir… I… I don’t understand”
“You don’t interrupt when am speaking Leigh”
I felt her shiver and smirked. Poor little thing. She looked helpless and well, let’s get this done with.
“I need you” I started and she gulped “I need you to bring me the chicken. The spicy one”
She heaved.
“More chilies, less sauce. Don’t make me wait this time Leigh, I might choose to design your face with those broken glasses”

After she scurried off, I sat to watch the evening’s event which was featured on television.
Even when I changed to other channels, it still showed my arrival from the airport till the welcome party I had attended.
“We love you Kael!” Everyone cheered.
Some people held onto their chests sobbing while others had fainted already.
“I want him to look at my daughters. I want him to marry them, I wouldn’t mind giving all I have” The Senator said which cracked me up.
Another lady was shown.
“Please marry me Kael” She cried and proffered a ring.
I laughed hard and then changed the channel at once. Didn’t know Bolivians had a whole lot of jovial personnel.
Leigh-Ann returned with a tray and came over to serve me. I impaled the chicken with my fork and made a perfect cut with my penknife. Before taking the chicken into my mouth, I shot Leigh-Ann a stare.
She had been looking at me the whole time and when she noticed I had caught her, she dropped her head immediately.
This better be good. It better be the way I wanted it else
I chewed the chicken slowly. Hmm. Exactly how I wanted it.
“Come have a bite”
She hesitated for some time before walking over. She’s been stealing glances at me the whole time and I think she needs a taste of my chili chicken.
I proffered the fork which held the chicken and slowly, she took it from me.
Hmm… Let’s see a little drama here.
Once she took the fork into her mouth, she grimaced. I relaxed and watched keenly for more dramas.
“Urgh…”
She spat out the chicken from her mouth into her hands as her mouth dropped. I watched as she sucked in air.
“Oh Leigh, what’s wrong? You don’t like my chili chicken?”
She shook her head as tears dropped down her cheeks. “Am… ah… sorry Sir… Please, water… water!” She cried.
I chuckled and slowly, I stood up. “Oh, she doesn’t like it. She prefers the um… What’s the name again? Spicy chicken?”
She couldn’t help it as she held onto her chest and coughed hard, sucking in more air.
“Please… water!”
“I’ve gotta teach you lessons Leigh but I’ll leave you with one.”
I took a step closer to her “Do not say yes when you need to say no. You’ve got the right to make choices, everyone does.”
“You shouldn’t say yes to whatever I ask because I am your master. What you know and feel you can’t and wouldn’t do, don’t ever say yes to it”
I paused and looked at her. She was still under the effect of the hot pepper
“You like spicy chicken, I love chili chicken. You knew my love for chili chicken would eventually be your poison but you chose to take it because I asked you to instead of saying no”
“But anyways, that’s a lesson.” I said and turned to walk off. “Um… do you want me to get you water or you’ll get it yourself?”
She shook her head immediately and rushed out, I chuckled. Anyways, that was exciting.

•~•Next-Day •~•
Leigh-Ann’s POV
I stretched out of bed and rubbed my eyes. My head ached badly. Even after drinking several glasses of water, it still couldn’t quench the chili’s effect in my mouth.
I should’ve known. The chili had been damn hot and Kael, oh that Son of a bitch. He knew it was chili hot but still offered me a bite and come to think of it, I never really liked chilies. But he’s right. I shouldn’t be saying yes when I am meant to say no, no matter who or what the person is.
After taking a quick bath, I rushed out to get Kael’s breakfast ready. Didn’t want to get punished anymore.
“Good morning Beautiful Leigh-Ann, Trust you had a good night rest?” Alejandra asked once I got into the kitchen.
I smiled and nodded shyly, gosh, she looked so gorgeous too. Her chocolate skin shimmered due to how it had been oiled.
“Breakfast is ready. We’ll all leave for the studio afterward”
Huh? Studio?
“Kael suggested while he’s busy with work, I should take you and Still around”
I mouthed an “Oh” then nodded in agreement but wait, did I hear her correctly? Did she mention Still instead of Stiles?
“You love it don’t you? Still would do the same right?” She asked
I wanted to correct her but Stiles came over immediately, interrupting me. Speak of the devil.
“Oh la!” He greeted me with a smile which made me roll my eyes. So because he learned “Oh la” I won’t hear anything else.
“Oh Still, happy morning to you. Was just telling Leigh-Ann about us going to the studio”
Stiles arched his brows but later nodded in response “Sounds perfect”
“Oh, that’s great Still. We leave immediately after breakfast” Alejandra responded and clasped her hands.
The way she spoke her English sounded different but that wasn’t the funniest part. Trust me, the “Still” was.
Stiles must’ve noticed cause he arched his brows. “Um sorry, it isn’t…”
“Oh, you don’t like it? It’s pretty fine. We could discuss somewhere else later cause I’ve got a whole lot of ’em” Before he could say another word, she smiled and walked off. Oops!
“I’m… I’m Stiles!” Stiles called out and watched her leave. Am not sure she heard that. He stared fixed at her for some time. “Ahem!” I cleared my throat to get his attention.
“Did… did she just call me Still? Like peace be still in the bible?”
I couldn’t help it as I laughed and walked away from him. Stiles could be a jovial ass.

After getting Kael’s breakfast ready, I decided to call him but as I approached the stairs leading to his room, I met him with Alejandra. As always.
“Are you done with breakfast already?” Alejandra asked with a smile.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
“I… um… good morning Sir. I haven’t had breakfast yet just decided to call Sir Kael for his breakfast”
Kael shot me a stare and that was when I noticed he wore this black dressing robe and was holding a teacup. I also noticed the two maids behind him.
“He’s had breakfast already. I served him one” Alejandra responded. Oh great.
They started approaching me and I had to step away for them to pass through.
When Kael got to where I stood, I had expected him to walk off but he paused and handed me the cup of tea. He then shrugged the dressing robe off his shoulders while the maid behind him caught it.
“Will miss you” Alejandra pouted and pecked him. Whatever such a show off.
Kael didn’t respond but walked off while I stared down at the cup in my hand remembering all about last night.
I suddenly felt ashamed but that wasn’t the only thing. The way Kael kept mentioning the spicy chicken I took from Ace surprised me. Was he mad about it?
