After having his bath, he proceeded to the kitchen, walking hastily to get done quickly.
He snatched the kitchen door closed with a bit force trying to call Amy’s attention, but she was too engrossed with the music she was listening to from the airpod inserted in both of her ears, which was quite surprising to him because didn’t listen to music and was never carried away like this. He cleared his throat before speaking up in high volume, “Amy, leave I want to use the kitchen.”
Amy stopped chopping the carrots immediately hearing that voice. “Boss,” She gasped shockingly removing the AirPods immediately, they fell to the ground due to her shaking hands. She wiped her hands on the apron and swallowed her lumps while staring at the floor.
She rubbed her palms against her before lifting her head and glanced at him, even though she was so scared to look into his eyes, she could only stare at his chest.
“You said I should leave, did I do anything wrong?” Her voice shook as she repeated his words, her boss was never the type of person to step into the kitchen, that was not even possible, seeing him here meant one thing, she was in deep trouble. “I swear, I did nothing, I don’t know what you have heard but I’m innocent.”
Alejandro rolled his eyes before stepping inside a bit more and cleared his throat with his hands pocketed. “No Amy, you did nothing wrong. I just want to use the kitchen.” He answered more calmly making her mouth drop at his calm voice.
Her eyes arched up in confusion, then sighed before muttering okay. “Oh… okay.” She started removing the apron and returned it to its place.
She nodded in respect as she sidestepped out of the kitchen. “Wow,” She muttered glancing back at the closed door. “Jasira must know definitely about this!” She giggled before zooming off to her room.
Alejandro stood akimbo in the middle of the giant kitchen staring at everything, he had never been this confused in his life, staring at the white cupboards without knowing what was inside.
He sighed exasperatedly, “Okay, maybe this was a bad idea.” He muttered to himself rubbing his forehead.
He chuckled and scoffed as he brought out his phone to check YouTube for the simplest thing to cook, as he scrolled through the page, he was already regretting choosing this task, maybe taking her out was quite better than all these but was that that special? Nope, he answered himself back and continued scrolling in silence.
After scrolling through YouTube for a good hour, he finally settled for rice and grilled chicken laps, which seemed easy as the lady prepared it.
He walked to the shelves to look for the ingredients and all that he needed, thirty minutes gone before he could figure out how everything was done and he already knew this was going to be a long evening.

“Amy, are you sure I should go to the kitchen after he sent you out two and a half hours ago?” Jasira asked with a groan clinging to the doorknob outside her room.
“Yes.” Any whined pushing her away from the door and toward the hallway, “he is not in his room so he is definitely still in the kitchen.”
Jasira turned to her with her hand placed under her breast and arched her brow up, “Why did you want me to go?”
Amy grinned widely. “Gist, go and bring gist.”
“Oh, Amy,” She shook her head while laughing, “I’m only doing it because of you.”
Amy raised her brow, “Because of me or you are also curious to know what he is doing there.”
“Okay, you caught me.” She laughed throwing her arm up.
“Now, let’s go,” Amy ordered playfully before dragging Jasira along with her who chuckled.
Jasira was reading a novel in her room when Amy barged in with her mouth wide open saying Alejandro was in the kitchen, at first she thought she was lying until they checked his room and found him empty, and now she was bent on finding out what he was doing in the kitchen, well not only her. She badly also wanted to know what he was doing especially since that was taking him so long.
“I will be in my room,” Amy whispered as they stood in front of the kitchen’s door, she glanced around frantically for any guards or maids.
“Wicked soul.” Jasira mouthed slapping her arm lightly.
She shrugged, “I don’t want to be there when something goes wrong.” She muttered innocently.
“Amy!” She yelled before slamming her hand on her mouth and glancing at the door, Alejandro would hear her at this rate.
“And I didn’t tell you anything.”
“You are one wicked soul.”
“Yes, I am. I love you.” Amy yelled running away.
“I hate you so much.” She whispered yelled after her.
“Amy,” She muttered shaking her head, she would pushed her into danger and leave her to solve it alone, thank goodness, he didn’t know she was here, she should gently turned back.
“Jasira, are you there?” Alejandro’s voice came up from the kitchen, Jasira stood rooted to the ground with her left leg raised in the air and her eyes bulged out.
“Bursted, I hate you Amy,” She screamed with no voice and groaned.
“Jasira,” He called again and she cried voicelessly before answering.
“I’m coming.” She answered turning back with her face squeezed up before opening the door.
“Alejandro,” She called sheepishly staring at the floor.
“What are you doing here?” He asked and she raised her head slowly.
“What?” She gasped seeing him choking back the laugh that threatened to spill from her mouth.
“Huh?” She couldn’t hold it in anymore seeing his confused face, she burst into a loud laugh which made Alejandro more confused, every time she glanced up at him, her laugh kept increasing, she held onto her stomach and staggered to the high stool around the island.
“Jasira!” Alejandro snapped.
“I’m… sorry.” She said in between the laughs and took a long breath.
“I’m sorry.” She said again and chuckled before keeping a straight face.
“Why are you in apron?” She asked before she started laughing again, gosh; he looked so absurd wearing an apron, like a giant wearing a diaper. That would have been better even but there was flour all over his body and more on his face.
He had flour on his forehead, his right cheek, his low beard, and his freaking good-looking hair which isn’t so good-looking at this moment. What did hell is he doing?
“Cooking.” He replied with an eye roll.
“Wow, you are looking good.”
“Are you joking?”
“Me? Joke? Never!” She mumbled with a straight face which made Alejandro arch his brow.
“I didn’t trust you.” He muttered switching his phone to the camera.
“Fuck!” He thundered throwing the phone on the island, his reaction made Jasira start laughing again.
“Stop! Stop laughing.” He screamed looking disoriented as he tried to dust the flour away but only made it worse.
“Yes, my Lord.” She answered in between her laughs, then she stood up from the high stool, grabbed a towel, and went to him.
“Let me help you.” She suggested sighing and he moved away from her in disagreement.
“I’m sincere, my lord.” Her straight face was very convincing, he rolled his eyes before letting her dust the flour away.
“Done.” She announced with a smile.
“I didn’t have your time.” He snapped before walking to the kitchen counter.
“You can leave now.” His order made her stand behind him shocked before she rolled her eyes with her tongue sticking out since he was backing her.
“Yes, my lord.” She muttered leaving the kitchen, when she walked a bit from the kitchen, she started laughing again.
“That was good.” She muttered to herself before going to her room, but it still baffled her Alejandro was calmed as she laughed and didn’t even yell at her.
*****
After thirty minutes, Alejandro was done, he ordered Amy to serve the food to his room and called Jasira after, he then had his bath before she was done.
