Surprised by what I am seeing
Calvin entered the room and was surprised by the sight he beheld.
Dorothy was on the top of the dining table staring down at the floor.
She was curled up and was shivering uncontrollably.
“Doll” Calvin called but she didn’t hear him but was still staring at the floor.
Calvin went closer and saw that what she was staring at was his black towel which was on the floor.
“Doll, are you scared of a towel?” He asked and wanted to pick the towel but it moved and he withdrew his hand.
“I think a snake is under it,” she whispered.
“That is ridiculous” Calvin replied, then he remembered what could be under the towel.
“Don’t touch Honey pie, it might bite you” Dorothy said when Calvin wanted to touch it again.
“No it won’t” he replied and picked up the towel to reveal a small fluffy animal.
“Oh my goodness !” Dorothy exclaimed, holding her mouth.
“It is so beautiful,” she added.
“Yeah I bought it earlier but forgot about it” Calvin said and carried the animal.
Dorothy got down from the table and went closer to Calvin and started stroking the animal’s hair.
“It is a beautiful bunny,” she said.
“I can’t believe that it was the thing that scared the shit out of me a few minutes ago,” she added.
“So how did it happen, how did you get on top of the table?” Calvin asked.
“Well I woke up and wanted to use the bathroom, so I went there, opened the door and then saw your towel moving” she began.
“I was so scared and the towel was moving everywhere so I climbed the table” she finished.
“I am so sorry about that Doll, I actually bought it for you,” Calvin said.
“Seriously?, how do you know that I like bunnies?” Dorothy asked.
“Well I have my ways,” Calvin replied.
“Thanks, Honey pie” she said.
“Can I have it?”
“Of course,” Calvin replied and handed the bunny to her.
Dorothy carried the bunny to the bed and sat down and Calvin followed her.
“Is it a he or she?” She asked.
“That I don’t know,” Calvin replied.
“It is okay, I will just take it to the vet later and confirm” , Dorothy said.
“I will refrain from naming you till I confirm your gender,” she added.
“You haven’t appreciated me for buying you the bunny” Calvin said.
“But I have done that,” Dorothy replied.
“When?” He asked.
“I thanked you, Honey pie” Dorothy replied.
“Oh that, I need another appreciation, that one doesn’t count,” he said.
“Okay I am going to cook a delicious meal for you when we go back home,” she promised.
“Hmm food sounds great but I need the sweetest food ever” Calvin said and leaned towards her.
“Pervert” Dorothy replied, pushing him away.
Calvin chuckled softly and leaned back, “I was talking about Chinese food” he said.
“What were you thinking, Doll?” He asked and Dorothy started blushing.
“Nothing,” she replied.
“You look so cute whenever you are blushing,” Calvin said, pecking her on her blushing cheek and stood up from the bed.
“I will be going now,” he said.
“When will you be back?” Dorothy asked.
“I just need to take care of a little issue, I will be back soon” he replied.
“Okay” she said and Calvin left the room.
“Is everything alright?, Boss,” two of his men outside the room asked.
“Yes, she is fine, remember what I said?” Calvin replied.
“Yes Boss” they chorused.
Calvin went back to the restaurant but Mr Lookman was no longer there.
He then walked out of the hotel and entered a cab, “LEO residential house” he said to the driver.
The driver did not move the car because where he just called is a no go area.
“Sir, I can’t take….” the driver struggled to speak English.
“It is fine, I have the house” Calvin replied and threw a wad of Australian dollars notes at him.
The driver smiled and then started the car and drove away.
“I don’t think you should add that” Levi said.
“Don’t order me or you are going to cook this food” Edward warned.
“Sorry just follow your heart chef” Levi said and walked away from him..
“I thought that they are maids here, where the hell are they?” Edward asked, throwing down the spoon in frustration.
“I think that Calvin stopped paying them so they quit,” Levi replied.
“No, Calvin is paying them, I am the one that made the transfer every month” Edward said.
“Well maybe they went out or something, but why do you want to cook though?” Levi asked.
“Because I am hungry, dummy !’ Edward snapped at him.
“But you ate at the Chinese man’s house, when did you become a glutton like me?” Levi asked.
Edward ignored him and went out of the kitchen and he followed him immediately.
Edward went to the maids quarters and knocked loudly at the door.
There was no answer so he kicked the door open and stormed inside.
“See there is no one here,” Levi said.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
“Let’s just order food,” he suggested.
“No, I don’t want to eat any Chinese food again,” Edward replied.
“Okay, so what do we do?” Levi asked.
Edward looked at him and replied, “you are going to cook for both of us to eat”.
Levi was crying inside of himself as Edward dragged him into the kitchen and forced him to start cooking.
“Ed, I suck at cooking” he said, hoping that he would let him go.
“Well a thousand miles begin with a step, you will do perfectly well, now get cooking” Edward replied.
Dorothy was in her room playing with the bunny, she got tired of playing with it so she took her phone.
Fifty missed stared at her and it was Mia that called her so she dialled her number.
“Where were you Doro? I have been calling you since !” Mia asked.
“Sorry I was sleeping when you called me” she replied.
“So there is a big issue now,” Mia said.
“What is it?” Dorothy asked.
“Kelly is coming where you are” Mia said
“What did you say Mia?, the line is breaking” Dorothy asked.
“I said that Kelly is coming to China,” Mia repeated, only to realise that the call had ended.
She called her back again but it didn’t connect, “shit !” She cursed.
Meanwhile at Dorothy’s side, her phone actually went off due to low battery and that was why the call was disconnected.
She went and plugged it immediately on the wall socket on her room and laid on the bed.
“What could be the big issue that she wanted to tell me?” Dorothy thought.
“I hope it is nothing serious” she muttered.
Kelly smiled as she was led into her private jet, “it has been long since I traveled out of the country, when last did you travel out of the country?” She asked her assistant manager that was leading her to the cabin.
“Since two years ma, it was the time you were invited to a book launching” her manager replied.
They reached the cabin and Kelly sat down and put her leg on the table beside her.
“Please Sarah, go to the kitchen and tell them to prepare hot milk for me” she said to her assistant manager.
“Yes ma” Sarah replied and left for the kitchen.
When Kelly had called her telling her that she wanted to travel to China this evening.
Sarah was confused since there was no event they will be attending in China.
But since Kelly was a good boss to her and Sarah also adores her, she agreed to escort her.
“Miss Kelly said you should get hot milk for her” Sarah said to the chef in the kitchen.
“Okay ma, I will bring it to her” the chef replied and Sarah went back to the cabin.
She reached there and sat on the chair opposite her boss.
“You must be wondering why I called you out to travel with me Sarah right?” Kelly asked.
“Yes ma, I was so surprised and confused” she replied.
“Well my brother’s wife is participating in a fashion competition so I want to go and cheer her up” Kelly said.
“That is nice ma” Sarah replied
“Of course it is nice, I like doing nice things” Kelly said.
“Miss Dennis and Miss Sarah, please make sure you wear your seatbelt properly, we are about to take off” the pilot said through the transmitting speaker.
Kelly wore he seatbelt, covered her ear with headphones and closed her eyes.
The cab dropped Calvin at the front of his residence and he got out of the car.
He started walking towards the gate and couldn’t help but noticed that the place looked a little deserted.
“Maybe it is because I have not been here for five years” he thought.
He entered the gate and walked to the front door, opened it and went it.
