Chapter 43 - Rules of The House (2) (1/2)
”Good!” Wirata said then she walked to James first with the bowl of fried rice in her hands.
”Smell very nice, Miss. ” James said to Wirata and she gave him a friendly smile.
”I hope you will like it.” She replied and scooped the fried rice and put it on his plate.
”Thanks very much, Miss. ” James said.
”You're welcome.”
Then She moved to Ben and did the same.
”Thank you very much. it looks delicious and smells amazing.” Ben said.
”I peeled the onion and cut tomatoes!”
The boss's voice inserted as if not want to be left out of the conversation causing Ben and James paused and looked up at their boss.
”Wow!” They said one word. The boss held his head up a little.
”It's not easy, you know? ” Stefan said, it's true. His eyes still felt sore.
Ben and James hurried to nod in agreement with their high respectful expression,
”Yes, boss.”
Then the two looked down to their fried rice to hide their amused smile.
Wirata walked to stand next to Stefan and put some fried rice on his plate, and of course, here was the peak, when she added a lot of squids and chili for him!
Then she came to sit on her chair. Put some fried rice for herself. She saw Stefan was using his fork to stir and his face frowned.
”What is this?! Damn! Squids! Dame! It's really squids! Are you joking?!”
He shouted and sent a daggered look to Wirata.
”I DON'T EAT SQUIDS! ” Stefan emphasized each word.
”This is seafood fried rice, it must have squids.”
Wirata said with a smooth voice. She gave him a gaze like he was an annoying fly. Stefan twisted his nose as if he was smelling something bad. His face was so moody.
”It's delicious. I like it. James and Ben also like it.”
Wirata continued with a straight face. Feeling good for being ironic and provocative to him.
”It stinks!” The harsh voice said, skewed his face like a boy rather than a big mafia.
”I've already cleaned it well. ” Wirata argued.
”Still stinks! I hate it.”
Stefan argued back, wrinkled his nose when looking at the squids. Wirata shrugged without paying attention to the person who made a displeasure face.
”I said no squids!” He repeated. Wirata put down her spoon, sighed and looked straight into his eyes.
”Do you know democracy, Stefan? This is Amera, land of freedom and democracy and liberty. Three of us like it! ” She snapped at him.
”James and Ben, look at your boss. He is behaving like a wayward child, you two are a lot better than him. He's like a baby, very picky and can't eat spicy food. In Thailand, a three-year-old child can eat squid and chili for snacks.” Wirata meant to stir him up a little more.
Ben and James winced with a shock and gasped to hear!
Stephan's eyes turned dark at the daring person. Nobody dared to say anything like this to him.
”Who do you think you are, Wirata?! Dare to use this kind of words with me! ”
The harsh voice said. He looked at his plate, a lot of rubbery squids and red chili in it! Stefan sneered and looked up at the daring woman.
Ben and James prepared to jump away because if the boss was furious and throwing heavy objects on their way, they would be able to avoid.
But, the two bodyguards opened their mouths and gasped again when seeing the boss staring at the squids as if he hated them since his previous life. He held the knife and the fork tightly made a serious face. Then out of their expectation. the boss cut the squid into small pieces, used the fork to stab it and sent it into his mouth, holding his breath, chewed twice, and swallowed it down his throat quickly! The big hand hurriedly grabbed his glass of wine and drank it to wash the piece in!
”How is it? ... Delicious?”
Wirata asked with a cool voice after watching him eating the thing he hated. He turned to look at her somehow his blue eyes amazingly turned into green eyes!
”Don't forget the rule. Eat it all, people are starving.” Wirata reminded him.
