     "Let it be, she's ill" Logan said hearing her words but the latter roles her eyes and walked away in disgust.
     "Little White lunch is ready, come and have some" the Old Madam beckoned on her.
     "Coming grandma" she replied and sat at the table. The table was filled with numerous delicacies.
      From sweet-and-sour ribs, steak, rice, vegetable, tteokobi, chicken soup, chicken nuggets, grilled fis,ramen, mochi and many more Western, Chinese and Korean cuisines. It was like a feast.
     The Old Madam sat at the head, on her right was Evelyn and her left Logan. As they were about to eat, Clara came down.
     'To faint and wake up so soon?, quite impressive ' Evelyn thought trying to hide her mocking smile.
     "Little girl you're up. How are you now?" The Old Madam who was genuinely worried asked.
     "I'm fine grandma thank you for your care it's nothing I'm just hungry" she replied with her usual gentle smile, making her appear like a calm and sensible child.
     "Brother Logan thank you for taking care of my wound and calling a doctor" she changed the subject as she sat beside him while Evelyn sat opposite them.
     "Hmmm, eat up" was his reply. He didn't spare her a glance when he spoke, his eyes were glued to his phone, he appeared busy so Clara understood.
     "First Master you shouldn't bring work to the dinner table" Evelyn said and the latter looked at her for 6 seconds before putting off his phone with an inaudible sigh.
     Clara couldn't believe it, he listened to her!. Her of all people while he couldn't even spare me a glance.
     "Thank you Little White he listened to you. Now let's dig in" the Old Madam said and everyone picked up a chopstick to eat.
     "You should eat more, you look like a pale ghost with no life" the Old Woman said dropping a chicken nugget in Clara's bowl, while the latter blushed in embarrassment.
     "Here,eat up so you can grow" Logan said indifferently dropping meat in her bowl.
     Clara's face changed colours in seconds. Did he just feed her?. Not wanting to be beaten by her, she picked a dish and gave it to Logan.
     His face changed. She had picked it with her chopstick and he had a very deep cleanliness disorder. He's an extreme clean freak. He won't touch what you have touched.
     Clara sensing the change in the air blushed in embarrassment realising her mistake. She quickly turned to Evelyn to give her the good and save face while The Old Madam enjoyed the drama.
     "What?" she asked indifferently raising her eyebrows in confusion seeing Clara's outstretched hands, offering her a bowl of chicken soup and rice.
     "I wanted to make peace with you. We started off on the wrong foot so...." Evelyn cut her off immediately.
    "If you think you'll brainwash me with this and I'll forget our bet, think again" she simply said and turned to continue eating ignoring her completely.
     "You.... I wasn't.....x age tried to defend herself to no avail.
     "I thought you were the elegant First Young Miss of the Voyant Family?, didn't you learn table manners or they dud not teach you in your Country C?" Evelyn asked feeling annoyed at her chattering. She had a very scary expression on as she glared at her to be quiet.
     Clara immediately kept quiet not without clenching her fist in anger, her nails digging deep into her pal s and almost bleeding seeing Logan and his grandmother not interfering .
     The silence was amiable until Evelyn's phone rang. She picked it up and it was her grandmother who was calling.
     "Excuse me" she said with an apologetic smile then stood up to receive her call. She had switched on her phone a few minutes before lunch.
     "Sister it's not grandma it's me Alicia. You have to come home, Elder Sister as give crazy and she's throwing your luggage away, into the pool" a cute, childish and soft voice like cotton candy came from the other end of the phone.
     Evelyn's eyes narrowed dangerously hearing that and anger surged in her, she would teach her a very good lesson that would last her a few days.
     She came back to the dinning and the difference in her aura was noticeable as she grabbed her handbag.
     "Grandma I'm sorry to leave so soon anytime I come. There's a little issue at home I have to attend to. I promise I'll come around another time, and you won't be the one to invite me" she hurriedly explained much to Clara's joy.
     "Okay then, take care of yourself and rest well. Come pay grandma a visit when you'r less busy" the Old Woman said with a warm smile and Evelyn gave her a brief hug.
     "I'll drop you off" Logan said and stood up too which made the Old Madam smile unconsciously.
     "But..... Brother Logan we're not done with lunch" Clara argued. She didn't want him to leave, she same because of him.
      "If you like he food so much, stay behind and eat it before going back"he simply said then walked away with Evelyn behind him.
             ****
     "How's your finger?" Logan asked as they drove to her home. It as been a while since she stepped foot there.
    "Good, First Master doesn't need to worry"she replied trying to create a distance in their relationship.
    "Okay, don't forget to take care of yourself, I'll see you tomorrow"he said as they arrived at the villa gate.
     "Hmmm, goodbye First Master" she replied absentmindedly and walked elegantly into the villa.
     She walked like someone who didn't care who the boss his,she walked like the main character in a novel, or the main lead in a movie.
      As she entered she heard loud arguments coming from the back where the pool is, to her amazement, all of her clothes were in the water, tge only clothe she has is the one she bought and the one she's wearing.
     "Elder sister are you insane?"the 5 year old Alicia shouted I anger as she held her sister from performing madness.
     "This is sister's belongings you can't throw it away"she insisted,a fierce look of determination flashed in her eyes.
     "So what?! I'm here elder sister and yours, she can't do a thing about it. You had better mind yourself " she threatened with an haughty smile.
    Her mood was terrible since when Tyler hadn't been picking her calls and she can't enter The Robinson Mansion,band now Evelyn dared to embarrass her and get friends in the mall.
     "You're insane stop it!"she insisted, snatching the laptop about to be thrown into the pool.
   "You'll tell me who's your sister me if her when I'm done here"she threatened and Alexia prayed Evelyn is on her way.
     "Leave her be,let her do as she pleases and perform as she wishes. I just want to know what gave you the gut to do this?. Who or what gave you the gut?!" Evelyn asked with a stern voice dripping with underlying anger in them.
     "Who implanted this ridiculous idea in your head. Who or What gave you the gut?!"
