"Good morning young master Edward" the chef greeted her boss as he comes into the dinning room to which he nods.
"Good morning Mr James" Maria Moore greeted but it didn't seat well with him. Maria Moore couldn't tell if he was upset with her or not as he didn't respond to her greetings.
Normally Edward James serves himself so Maria just took her seat and eat her food in silent.
"You'll come with me to sign some papers regarding your design contract_ yes I might have given you some but the board of directors wants to meet you" Edward James told her as he poured himself coffee but stopped when he noticed it's not coffee but something else.
" Mrs Bridget where's_" he was saying
"I prepared the tea instead of the coffee_ it's more healthy and it'll keep you refreshed" Maria Moore told him and he got the message that she's responsible for his breakfast this morning too which he found appetizing but he won't tell her.
Normally he doesn't eat much before leaving for work but he couldn't help devour his breakfast not that his chef doesn't know how to cook but well, there's a But.
Maria Moore finished her food then went back into her room to shower before dressing up in a royal blue gown and silver heels sandals. She took her phone and some design drafts she has been busy with before going out to join Edward James.
Edward James who through the tinted car window saw her coming and he was speal bound for some seconds. If it was any of his flings he would have devoured her right inside the car.
" Good morning Maria" Edward James said to her as she joined him at the back seat. Maria Moore was surprised at him but still replied.
"Good morning Mr James"
"It's Edward to you Maria except you still see me as a stranger_ by the way Kristen will be here by Saturday and I'll love it if you can prepare your signature dish" said Edward James.
"Does that mean I won the meal contract" Maria Moore asked
"It depends on your up coming meals Maria" the way her name rolls in his mouth feels unique just like how her late mom calls her.
Just so he can have her around the company he asked her to wait in his office. He purposely didn't go back to his office after his meeting with the board of directors_ he went to the factory to inspect the newly shipped fabric and other materials used for protection. Not that he doesn't trust the company his buying the products from but he doesn't want to take chances as it has almost cost the bankruptcy of the company when his late parents were in charge of the company.
By the time he finished and got back to the office it was already lunch.
Main while Maria Moore who felt bord sitting in the office took a tour round the CEOs office then discovered there's a mini kitchen inside. She found some veggies and noodles eggs, chicken, hotdogs, fruits of different types right inside the refrigerator. A microwave which was noticeable new and a cooker_ unknown to her these items were ordered that very morning before her arrival to the CEOs office by then she was with the board of directors.
Feeling hungry she made some chicken salad with noodles. This was what the assistant and his boss saw when they got back.
"Young master did you invite your chef over, the aroma is mouth watering" said the assistant but his boss only dismissed him.
Edward James took soft steps towards the mini kitchen and the sight was tempting. Maria Moore has removed the upper part of her gown which means it can be manipulated into a sleeveless gown with a deep V cut at the back revealing her fair spotless skin and arms.
Standing right behind her he snatched the sliced piece of chicken she was about putting in her mouth, startled Maria Moore remained frozen for some seconds and but Edward James took that as a means to carry the plate of food and began eating.
"You scared the living day out of my bones" Maria Moore finally said
"Am sorry about that" he apologized looking into her eyes. Maria Moore smiled thankfully she prepared an extra potion if not she will be the hungry one.
"And you stole my food" Maria Moore said as she took her seat opposite him.
"You'll blame yourself for transforming the Js CEO office into a restaurant" he said with no expression on his face.
"I was hungry and found the kitchen fully stocked more over I was bord" Maria Moore said.
"How's the CEOs office boring, didn't you see the piano to entertain yourself and the collection of books from all over the world". Edward James told her as he once again took her smoothie and walked back into his office.
' childish' Maria Moore murmured.
