Jaesi's POV
I sat on my sofa, crossing my legs as I grabbed the wine from Maximilian's hand. Hays...Did I really woke up early just for this?
My eyes were fixated on the door waiting for her arrival. I'm trying to voice out my concerns about this sudden report from Max that he finally found a suitable chef for my taste.
"She's a woman you say?" I coldly asked as I took a sip of my wine.
"Yes m'lord."
"Let her in."
Maximilian pressed his earpiece then a moment later, the door opened revealing the person I never expected to see.
Natigilan pa'ko sa gulat but still managed to compose myself.
"Miss Demie?" Am I trippin or nandito talaga siya? "Max, is she the one you're referring to me?"
"Yes m'lord. Would you like to see the paper—" I raised my hand to him. Tumayo ako sa upuan ko, gesturing Miss Demie na nakatitig lang sakin.
There was a time I ordered Maximillian to find me a chef who specializes in Filipino cuisine. How shocking is this actually? I trust Maximilian and I'm sure Miss Demie wouldn't be here if it wasn't for him. She must be capable enough to make Max accept her papers.
"Have a seat Miss Demie—"
"What food would you like me to cook for you?" She asked, cutting me off. Tumaas kilay ko sa pagputol niya sakin kaya wala sa sariling nalapag ko wine glass ko.
Hoohhh? What's with the attitude?
"Have a seat first." Malamig na tugon ko at nakita ko pang umirap siya bago sundin sinabi ko. "As you can see, I'm looking for a cook that—" hindi kona natapos sasabihin ko dahil pinutol na naman niya ko.
"Where's your kitchen?" Kumunot na noo ko sa inis.
This girl...
"Would you like me to kick her out?" Tinaas ko kamay ko kay Max at huminga ng malalim bago ngumiti ng pilit.
Nauubos na pasensya ko.
"Miss Demie—"
"Demietry Alcanza. I wish not to be addressed by that nickname of mine, Miss Dacarte. Call me Alcanza. Now, tell me. What food would you like right now?" Huminga ako ng malalim sa mga pinag sasasabi niya at hinilot sintindo ko.
Wala ni isa sa lahat ng mga tauhan namin ni ate dito sa mansyon ang may lakas ng loob putulin ako pag nasasalita. This woman....is undoubtedly testing my limits.
Tumitig ako sakanya ng hindi makapaniwala at sinenyasan si Max na lumabas muna na agad naman niyang sinunod.
Umupo na ulit ako at sumandal sa upuan ko habang pilit siyang binabasa.
This woman is like Miss Aurea. She's so difficult to read and deal with. Her attitude is very similar with that professor of mine. Tsk..I'm all certain that she'll turn out to be another headache.
