75 Disappeared? (1/2)

When lunchtime came around, Hui Yin left her room and went down towards the kitchen.

To her complete surprise, there was no one in the kitchen and the table was empty. There were only ingredients on the kitchen counter, arranged in a neat order.

Hui Yin frowned. The maids hadn't cooked the food yet?

She went back to the living room and saw one of them dusting an ancient porcelain sculpture. When the maid saw her, she immediately greeted Hui Yin with a respectful smile, her head bowed.

”Uh...excuse me, is the lunch prepared yet?”

Hui Yin felt awkward, because she didn't want to sound like an entitled young miss. But she was starving.

The maid blushed. ”Madam...sir told us that you will be the one to cook for lunch.”

Hui Yin felt her eyebrows almost rise all the way to her hairline. She was the one who will cook for lunch? Says who?

”I'm not cooking.”

It wasn't really hard for Hui Yin to cook a simple meal, but she didn't want to give in to that tyrant's orders.

The maid turned anxious after hearing her.

”But madam, sir hasn't eaten anything yet. He ordered us to call him only after you've cooked his lunch.”

Hui Yin didn't care. ”He could starve to death.”

”Madam...”

”Please don't call me that. I'm not the 'madam' or anything.”
