216 Meal for the Boys (1/2)

True to her words, Nyelle went looking for Slayne. She explained what really happened but not in full details. Slayne got the rough idea and accepted Nyelle's verbal report.

”I heard from Eybelle that you have a favor to ask from me?”

”Yes.” Nyelle explained her plans and this got Slayne a little excited. However, he encountered a bit of a problem.

”Ms. Nyelle, we might have a problem about that. Sir Edward is on secretarial duties in the coming months as this time of the year, they usually have the annual operation departments' inspection.” Slayne informed her.

”So? How will that affect our plans?” Nyelle asked.

”He and Mr. Gray would travel from one company branch to the other to see the conditions of the working station of the employees. At night, Sir Edward would just head to his room and sleep. I don't think it would be good for him if we take too much of his resting time.” Slayne explained.

”I see. Then, maybe I'll just cook food for him. Maybe dinner?” Nyelle thought of another idea.

”I'll give you a duplicate key of his room. This is actually my key so in case he will check it via the system, he will only see my name.”

”But isn't that…”

”It's okay. I can handle it.”

”I'll also cook you some, Slayne.”

”I'll look forward to it then.”

With that Nyelle heads to the kitchen and talks to the kitchen staff.

'It seems we were right after all. She's someone special to Secondo.'

'I bet she's planning to cook for Secondo. It's the time of the year that he's very tired.'

'Good idea, Ms. Nyelle.'

The kitchen staffs have their own thoughts on Nyelle's actions but one thing's for sure. If it makes their Second-in-command then they'll gladly help.

”Thank you for letting me use the kitchen. I'll see you in a short while.” Nyelle bowed before running to her room to get her recipe book.

While Nyelle is already cooking for Edward, her best friend is still on her way to the hotel. She's stuck in the traffic and she hates it. She wants to be productive and being stuck in the traffic is not doing her any good.

”Ms. Yve, you look agitated. Is there a problem?” Chrysthe asked as she never saw her, this frustrated.

”Nothing. I just hate traffic. I still plan to cook for Vince but now it might be impossible.”

'That's why.'

”Why don't we buy some groceries and cook the dishes at your house?” Chrysthe suggested.

”Your house is closer now to our destination. There is also less traffic going to your house from the Bosses current location.” He added.

”But the cleaning…”

”It was just finished. But if you're scared, it's just fine.”

”No! I think I can handle it. In the meantime, why don't we head to the nearest supermarket and give Sylvan a call? Please tell him to meet us at the house.” Yve ordered which was immediately obeyed by Chrysthe.

Yve, on the other hand, sent a text message to Edward.

'Please drive Vince to the house he bought after your last meeting. I'll be there tonight. Don't tell him yet, though.'

Edward smiled when he read the message and proceeded with their last meeting of the day.
