Am sure if I take that three spoons. I will sleep for more than 5hours. Ie starts sweating. I start to feel like using the restroom.
“Why do you want me to eat your food while I have mine. Oh! I see, so, you think I wanna poisoned you. Really! That’s awful of you. Your thinking is wild.
No problem since you want me to eat yours then while don’t we just change the food, you should eat mine while I eat yours”I blurted and wanna changed the food.
“, Why are you being personal, do you put something in the food?”Steve asked.
Oh my goodness! what have I done?, why did I always blabber. Now I have finally put myself into a big mess.
God, plea-se don’t ignore your daughter, she nee-ds help right now. I nee-d to keep on talking, so, he won’t find out.
“Common am not evil, why would I want to poison someone. I prepared this food with so much joy.
But you just shattered all my happiness, you are a joy killer.
You are nothing different from my uncle. He will just recline without fighting for his child. What sort of father fold hands while their children are being humiliated” I feigned tears, and faced my uncle just to see he almost finished the plate of food in front of him.
I was stunned at this. “Am sorry, I was lost in this food. It being a while I tasted something nice as this.
Common Jasmine do you prepare this food”Uncle asked without halting.
It’s not like an not a good cook, I don’t just like to prepared good food for him. He will still complain even if the food is good.
But what happened today. I was still in a startling mood.
“WOW! This is yummy!” I heard Steve exclaim. I look at him. He has started to eat the food.
But just now he was insisting that I should taste the food. What happened! Like this is extraordinary.
I know I am honored with much s-en-se. I smiled to myself. Lemme just causes small trouble.
“Hey! Husband when did you change your mind. You are wild “I asked with an eye roll.
“I didn’t wanna eat it, but my tummy calls for it after Clark testified to the taste of the food. Then my mouth longs for it “He said calmly.
This is interesting. Now my second move is successful.

Khalid Mansion
Khalid POV
After I c@m£ to my room, I changed my cloth and settled on my table to get some work done. I waited for Leo, and he c@m£ to join me after some minutes. Then we begin with the tasks.
“Khalid I don’t know why you are so adamant, the way you acted to mum down there was rude. She’s your mum”Leo commented.
“Are you gonna start again. Why do you just like to get on my nerve? Let’s focus on this work. We must submit it for review tomorrow. You know the risks the company will take If we submit it late”I remind him.
“Am not short of memory. So st©p reminding me every time. I know you are trying to close the chapter ” Leo couldn’t complete his word when I heard a knock on my door.
“Who’s that?”I asked because I wasn’t expecting anyone.
“Clara sir” “She said from the outdoor.
“Come in,” I said, and she c@m£ inside with a bottle of alcoholic wine and two glas-s cu-ps.
“Thanks, alot Clara, you are amazing. I never asked you but you do this. You keep impressing me every day.
So, with this, I will double your salary “I said smiling.
She glows. “Thanks, sir, you are a good man sir” She screamed happily.
“What of me, aren’t you going to increase my salary. At least I will drink out of it, so I also deserve to be praised for this”Leo pouted.
He has started with his silly behavior. “You are very funny sir. Do you want that?
Well, if you want that, I will advise you to come and apply as a maid here. Don’t worry I will give you a special rank as am the boss here” Clara said to Leo tea-singly.
“I don’t nee-d to apply Clara. You know am very good at this, why are you doubting me?”Leo boosted. I wonder about the chemistry between the two.
They always find a way to poke fun at each other. “You nee-d to because I will nee-d to teach you how things are done here.
You know is not an office. So I nee-d to teach you because I don’t like it when people fumble”Clara said smiling.
“Thanks, Miss, plea-se leave us alone. You both can discuss that later “I said knowing very well that my friend is talkative. He won’t st©p talking if she didn’t st©p.
“Okay sir,” She said and leave.
“You are a joy killer. Why do you s£nd her away now? Don’t tell me is because of this work that won’t take me more than 30minutes to finish off.
Common Khalid, you are just too different. Your ways sometimes infuriate me”Leo lamented.
“I s£nt her away because I know you won’t st©p talking. You talk too much. You are a guy for goodness sake” I blasted.
“So I talk too much, isn’t it” “I don’t talk too much I only make sure I keep the company of who is around me. You are too dreary. Your face is always dre-aded.
Thanks to the mysterious lady who has been ma-king you smile with her letters.
If I didn’t know you well, I will have thought you must be a wicked man the way you frown every day.
That’s isn’t good for your cute face. At least be cheerful. The fact that I pla-yed a lot doesn’t make me a nitwit. So st©p being bitter “Leo wailed with a long hiss.
“Keep this cool guy. I am not shouting at you so why are you yelling”I tried to make him chill.
“You guys look cute while fighting. plea-se I want it to be bu-mping “Maddy said standing at the door.
“My baby”Leo shouted on seeing her. She rushed to him and hvgged him pas-sionately.
“Eye candy. You are too much “Maddy sits on his l@p.
“Thanks, Loml, I missed you more than anything. You more Prettier than before” Leo complimented while Maddy pe-cked his cheek.
“Yes babe, I am glowing for you,” Maddy said smiling. Anyone seeing this two would think they are lovers. Because they would never use names.
They always used pet names while talking to each other.
“Joyrider, tell me if you have a b©yfri£nd,” Leo asked. “Why ask her such a question, how can she have a b©yfri£ndat such age. She’s just 18years” I blurted.
They both get into laughter. What the heck!
“Brother, you don’t know my real age. I am going to be 19 In a few months. So what’s bad if I have a b©yfri£nd. Am a young adult you know” She corrected.
“What’s the difference, you are still eighteen. You should focus. Those men out there are deceivers. I don’t want you to get tra-pped in these cunning ways at this early age” I said to her.
“Hmmm, I un-derstand you, buddy. But don’t forget you aren’t there with her, so, we aren’t aware of what’s going on over there.
So, we got to ask her questions like this. So, we can advise her when we see things aren’t right.
Forget about the age thing. She’s a young adult and will face many things in the outside world. So as a brother ours is to see her throu-gh”Leo said to me.
I chuckle and heaves a sigh of relief.
“I am actually in love with someone, but I don’t know if someone like him even knows what is called love” Maddy pouted.
“What do you mean,” Leo asked while I glared at them both.
“He’s an introvert. He’s too gentle, doesn’t as-sociate much, and it is always with recommended sunglas-ses. He’s not my type though. And am sure am not also his type.
You know am a very spirited girl and I want a lively relationsh!p, not a boring one. So I give in” Maddy explained.
“Hmmmm I see, he must be someone like me” I muttered but it was loud enough to be heard.
They both laughed. The two are used to taunting me so am not pained.
“Is good you admit you are boring” “I am short of words. But it is good you let that go, all you nee-d to do now is to focus.
You will surely find a good guy and If you didn’t, your brothers will marry you” Leo as-sured holding her cheek.
That makes me remember she has to get re-ady to fly back to America tomorrow.
“Maddy, I think you’ve got the necessary books you nee-d for your exams. You will be going back to America tomorrow” I said and she was shocked at my announcement.
“Brother I am sorry,” Maddy said with a sad face. I was confused about who she was referring to. She stood up from Leo’s l@p and come to me.
“Are you referring to me?”I asked, and she nodded her head positively in reply.
“Am sorry I didn’t go to the booksto-re. I go to the post office to find some details about you mysterious lady” Maddy said holding my hand.
“Common girl, you don’t have to do that, focus on your exams. I will do that myself. I have decided to take some time off work next week. I will find her myself trust me” I said c@r£ss!ngher face.
“Do you find any clue in the post office?” Leo asked. “Yes,
TBC
What clue is that?
