"Do you want to help us bring the lunch to the trainees?" London asked and I nodded.

It would be nice to do something different for once.

She placed the plastic plates on the tray, along with a cup of juice. She placed about ten on the tray safely and packed the other ten trays. I'm kind l happy that I didn't get placed here. Cooking for this much? I'd surely be putting something in too much or too little.

I took up two trays and we headed out together on the field, London balancing four trays.

When the trainees saw us coming, they took a break and I walked behind London as she went to the most muscular person. He took two trays from her and whistled loudly.

You know those dogs calls? One of those.

The trainees made three lines, one in front of him, one indront of London and one in front of me. They each took up one plate and drink and before everything was finished, other workers joined us with the trays and they replaced our empty ones with their full ones.

"You're really pretty." One of them said to me as they took the plate and drink up. "Do you work in the cooking field?"

I shook my head.

"No. I'm the queen's personal worker." I told him and he frowned.

"So no free time for us to hang out?"

I was about to answer but the trainer shouted at him.

"Channer, stop holding up the line!"

Channer grinned and winked at me as he moved out of the way.

"I look forward to seeing you again, beautiful." He said and smirked.

I blushed and gave him a smile.

The other trainee collected their food.

"Don't mind him. All he's looking for is sex."

I chuckled.

"I wasn't about to pursue him anyways."

The guy smiled and he walked off to where Channer was. The guy said something to him and Channer looked at me and smiled. I smiled back at him and before I knew it, everyone was served.

I looked around the field and saw another group training and during the walk back to the castle, I asked London about them.

"Don't they get lunch too?"

"Yes."

"Then where's theirs?"

"They're the blood group, the strongest and fiercest warriors." She informed. "Do you remember when June told Samson 'to get the donors donating'?" I nodded. "The blood is for them. They only feed on blood. It's what fuels their energy."

I nodded slowly.

"So whenever you're giving them lunch, it's always blood?"

"Yes."

"They can eat food, too, but it's rarely requested."

Damn.

"The guy I was telling you about is from the blood group." London said and we entered the castle.

"How are things by the way?" I asked.

"Normal." She responded. "It wasn't anything special. We talk, yes, but that's just about it. He doesn't seems like the romantic type, a casual nip and dip."

I didn't say anything as we placed the trays down on the table.

I looked at the clock and my eyes widened.

Fuck.

"I'm in deep shit."

I was late to delivering Athena's lunch by ten minutes.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck." I rushed towards the other kitchen where June would've been preparing the lunch and she looked at me with raised eyebrows as I entered the kitchen.

"You don't seem to love your life, girl."

We both knew I was in deep shit.

"It's on the island."

I took it up and tested if it was hot.

It was cold.

God, I'm in deep shit.

Microwaving the food took three minutes.

That's thirteen minutes.

It would take me four minutes to get to her office.

Please let her be in a meeting so that she doesn't realizes how late I am.
