After everything that had happened, all Maya needed was something to help her relax and settle her nerves. A lot of things have taken place today, including her running into her ex-fiancee and the altercation that took place in the store. She desired freedom from anxiety. Her husband was the first person who entered her mind when she thought about the situation. She contacted one of the house servants and asked for their assistance in placing the lasagna that she had prepared in the oven. After she got in her car and went home, she thanked the house helper who had assisted her in placing the lasagne in the oven. Twenty minutes later, her lasagna was ready. She packed the lasagne in a lunchbox and left the house with it. Maya got in her car and headed over to the company where her husband worked. Maya made her way to the front desk.
“Good afternoon ma’am, how can I help you?” The person working the front desk inquired while wearing a broad grin on her face.
“I’m interested in meeting Lord Archer.” The enormous smile that had been plastered on the lady’s face eventually disappeared. First, she speculated that it may be another woman like Kelly Martins, but then she noticed that there was something distinctive about the woman who stood in front of her. The woman turned her gaze back to Maya and smiled once again.
“Do you have an appointment?” After asking, the woman at the front desk looked over at Maya and noticed the lunchbox she was carrying.
“Yes, I do have an appointment. Just tell him I’m here for Daddy’s ice cream.” Maya uttered the words without realizing it. The person working the front desk appeared to be bewildered.
Ice cream? Daddy’s ice cream. Does Lord Archer sell ice cream? The woman cast a suspicious glance in Maya’s direction before continuing her conversation.
“We do not sell ice cream here, ma’am.” When Maya finally thought back to what she had said to the other woman, the realization hit her. Instantaneously, her hand went to her mouth. And she couldn’t help but chuckle a little at the thought of bringing up ice cream in a company that has nothing to do with ice cream.
“It is not a problem; all you need to do is give him a call and let him know that there are three individuals in the reception area waiting for Daddy’s ice cream.” The receptionist broke out laughing at something that wasn’t humorous, but when she brought her eyes to Maya’s, she saw that she wasn’t laughing at all. Maya wasn’t laughing, which means she was serious. Even though Maya was lovely, the woman thought she was odd. The receptionist regarded the woman as gorgeous, but peculiar. After that, she made a call to Lucas using the phone that was sitting on the top of the desk.
Receptionist: Hello Mr. Lucas, there is a lady here saying that three people are waiting for Daddy’s ice cream.
The receptionist felt strange discussing ice cream in a company that has nothing to do with cream.
On the contrary, Lucas was stunned. ‘Ice cream? Daddy’s ice cream,’ he exclaimed. He gave a slight shake of the head before walking into the office of his master. He rapped on the door and entered. He was completely at a loss for words. He couldn’t be talking about ice cream. He pondered, “Does Master Zion eat ice cream?” in his head. Lucas remained to stare at Zion, pondering how he could inform his master that not just someone, but three individuals, were waiting for Daddy’s ice cream.
“Stop looking at me as if I’ve grown some balls in between my eyes. Speak!” Zion barked.
“Master.” Lucas halted his conversation and cocked his head, attempting to figure out what the connection was between the ice cream and his master. “He sure has an ice cream kind of head,” Lucas thought. Then he cleared his throat. “Sir, you do sell ice cream?” He swallowed a glob of saliva after posing the question. Zion’s expression revealed his bewilderment as he gazed at him.
“What?” Zion queried. Another attempt to speak was unsuccessful for Lucas because he was at a loss for words. He glanced up at Zion and spoke.
“The person working the front desk would like to speak with you.” Then, Lucas handed the phone over to Zion and stood there wanting to understand if his master supplies ice cream. He does own hotels, however, operations like these should be handled by the hotel management, not the boss. Zion answered the phone.
Zion: Speak! He commanded.
Lucas put the phone on loudspeaker mode so that he could be absolutely certain that he understood the receptionist when she spoke about daddy’s ice cream.”
Receptionist lady: Sir, there is a lady in the waiting area. She said, I must tell you she’s here for Daddy’s ice cream and I must tell you that three people are waiting for Daddy’s ice cream.”
After making that statement, she took a deep breath and cleared her throat. On the other hand, Lucas anticipated hearing his master’s opinion on the ice cream matter. When he looked at his master, though, he noticed a devious smirk, which surprised Lucas even more.
Zion: Tell her that Daddy will give the three of them, ice cream. Sent her in and cancel all my meetings.
The receptionist nearly choked on her own saliva and began coughing, and Lucas gripped his heart and collapsed onto the couch. He began hacking furiously. He then reached for the glass of water on the table and drank it in one go. As if that were not enough, his master began disrobing in front of him.
“Get out!” Zion barked, and Lucas dashed out of the office in a tomato-red flush to meet with his female boss. Maya could not help but notice that Lucas’s face was extremely flushed and red. She stood in front of him, observing Lucas blushing for the first time.
“Are you feeling okay, Lucas?” Maya asked. He didn’t dare look at Maya. He believed she was a reserved individual. He had no idea that she was a mischievous woman hiding behind her guarded demeanor. His thoughts then returned to the interior of his master’s office. Images of his boss undressing began to fill his mind. Immediately, Lucas’s face flushed crimson red.
“Yes, Lady Maya.” He said this before fleeing. Maya was dazed.
What is wrong with him. She wondered.
