Chapter 31
“This one is also among them” Mia said placing a plate before her with a black circular something in it.
“What is that?” Dorothy asked.
“Oh that is the egg he fried for you” Mia replied.
Dorothy didn’t know whether to cry or laugh “so the almighty Cal does not know his way around the kitchen” she thought.
“Your husband is a very bad cook” Mia said.
“Shut up Mia” Dorothy said to her.
“Wait did I just say bad? No bad is a better word. What word should I use to describe him? Yes I got it horrible, your husband is a very horrible cook” Mia said and burst out laughing.
“At least he wanted to cook for me, that’s all that matters” Dorothy replied.
“Yeah, keep consoling yourself with that” Mia said admits laughter.
“You are crazy Mia” Dorothy said.
“Where is Mr Jack?” she asked.
“Is that the name you are now calling your husband because he can’t cook” Mia asked.
“Don’t be ridiculous Mia, I am asking about the butler” Dorothy replied.
“Oh the butler?, he went to get help to clean the mess your husband did” Mia replied.
“Let’s get out of here” Dorothy said and they started going to the door.
“Behold the Boss’s masterpiece” Levi announced coming inside the kitchen with Edward.
“Boss created this masterpiece for his lovely wife” he continued.
“Hi Levi” Dorothy greeted.
“Oh the great beholder is here, how do you see this artwork ma’am?” Levi asked placing an invisible microphone on Dorothy’s mouth.
“Mrs Dennis appears to be short of words because of how beautiful the artwork is” Mia replied.
“Wow here we also have the beautiful and hottest best friend of Boss’s wife, what do you think about the artwork Babe?” Levi asked.
“It is a completely disaster” Mia replied.
“The right word to use there is “complete” not “completely” Edward corrected.
“Gosh I didn’t know that there was an English teacher here, keep it up Mister” Mia said to Edward sarcastically.
“Let’s go Mia” Dorothy said and led her out of the kitchen.
“What happened? Did you guys quarrel?” Levi asked.
“Nothing happened, she slapped Kyla and I scolded her” Edward replied.
“You must have scolded her too hard for her to behave this way towards you” Levi said.
“I don’t care” Edward said and went out of the kitchen.
“Where are you going?, I am not done showing you the artwork !” Levi called after him and followed him.
“Are you okay? Do you need anything?” Dorothy was asking Calvin.
She was currently sitting with him on the living room balcony.
Mia sat on the chair at the far end of the balcony trying to muffle her laughter.
Calvin was just sitting quietly staring into space.
“What happened in the kitchen Cal?” Dorothy asked him.
“I wanted to surprise you with a spaghetti dish because I know it is your favourite food. I browsed some videos about it and found the perfect one to cook, it looked so easy with the guy on the video so I followed him step by step and ruined your surprise” he explained.
“No you didn’t ruin the surprise Calvin, you made it higher” Mia replied.
“Sorry” she said when Dorothy gave her a stern look.
“Don’t be upset Cal, at least you tried to cook for me which shows that you care for me and thats all that matters” Dorothy said.
“I could figure that the food got burnt in the process of but what happened to the broken plates” Dorothy asked.
“When the food got burnt, I got angry and scattered the plates” he replied innocently.
“Oh my sweet Cal !” Dorothy exclaimed and hugged him.
“I am going to get that guy arrested for making it look so easy” Calvin said.
“The innocent guy is not responsible for your terrible cooking skills Mr Dennis” Mia said.
“Mia Robertson !” Dorothy shouted at her and she ran into the living room laughing.
“Don’t mind her Cal, you are absolutely right that person should be arrested” Dorothy said.
“Hey guys !” Mia shouted coming back to the balcony.
“What is it Mia?” Dorothy asked.
“We are doomed in this country !” she exclaimed.
“What happened?” Calvin asked.
“Our prime minister has been murdered, it is on the news” she replied.
“What !” Calvin and Dorothy shouted at the same time and rushed into the living room.
“The prime minister of Australia, prime minister Jake Foxx was assassinated when he was giving a speech at the tenth Australia government conference and it is suspected to be a rival mafia group against his government” the news presenter was saying.
A videos footage of the assassination was showed, he was killed by a sniper shot.
“This is unbelievable, so he was just killed like that” Dorothy asked no one in particular.
“Before you guys came in, the presenter said that he was attacked last night but security personnel intervened” Mia said.
“Those damn Mafia” Mia cursed.
“How do you know that it was the Mafia that did it?” Calvin asked Mia.
“Who else would it be if not them? And the prime minister was also a member of the Mafia, I am not that heartless but I think he deserved it” Mia replied.
“What do you think about Mafia Doll?” Calvin asked Dorothy.
“They are basically monsters in human forms, cold hearted and has no conscience” she replied.
“Hmm” Calvin hummed.
“It was during one of their clash battles that my parents trying to get away ended up in an accident that took their lives. If you ask me, the Mafia are the devil themselves” she finished.
“What if someone close to you is in the Mafia, what would you do? Calvin asked.
“Then I will cut ties with the person permanently, I can’t be associating with a devil” she replied.
“But what if….”
“Sorry to interrupt but there is a delivery guy waiting at the door. Did someone ordered food?” the butler asked entering the living room.
