Chapter 58 - Cold Food (2/2)

” Strange. How come all of them were my favourite dishes?” I raised my eyebrows upward, gazing at her directly. My jaw was clenched. Stella had realised that I want to hear the real explanation. Her eyes were not gleaming anymore they were full of sorrow and sadness.

” I wanted to cook your favourite dishes to cheer you up. But since you had told me that you have to attend someone else I thought I should not inform you.” How stupid she can be? Seriously? Just for that? Didn't you felt that you should at least ask me if I'm really busy or not? Even for a once?

” You could have at least told me about it!”

” I thought your work was important.” She said in a quite tone almost like a whisper.

” Stella please! At least let me decide what is important for me and what is not. If I had knew this, I would have never gone with her. How could you let all your efforts die in vain?” I was frustrated and annoyed thinking about her stupidity. But when I looked at her, she was suffering. Her eyes were filled with grief. It made me more angry and sad.

I got up from my chair and gave her a tight hug. She didn't reject my embrace instead she warped her hands around me.

” I was wrong. I should have told you about it.” I began to pat her head. Her smooth silk like hair was brushed against the palm of my hand. She was just like a little kitten.

” It's fine. I'm the one who's more upset here. You can't imagine how annoying last night was. If it wasn't for the sake of my company, I would not have gone with her.” Stella began to laugh after hearing my comment. Finally she was no longer sad.

” Whom did you went with?”

” Our new model for the ad. Her name is Megan.”

” Megan Smith? ”

” Yeah how did you know?”

” She's a very well known model. I have seen her in social media.”

”Oh. That makes sense. Thanks to that Megan I lost a good supper.”

” Hey! don't be like that. I can cook anytime for you.”

” You know what? Heat up those foods and pack them for me. I'll eat them in my lunch.”

” Are you kidding me?” She exclaims in surprise, making her eyes widen.

” I'm dead serious.” My smirk was enough to make her understand how much serious I was.
