When Lifen woke up, it was already half past ten in the clock. She was shocked too. In these last two years, she has got the habit of rising early in the morning.
The first thing she wanted or searched was Deming. Not finding him in her room and in the living hall, she thought he has left because of the words she has said to him in the morning.
She felt a disappointment. She even rebuked herself for talking to him in such a straightforward and stern tone. But then again what she said earlier was not false either.
She gave some thought to it and then shrugged off her thoughts mumbling, "It"s okay. You can"t keep something that"s not yours. And thinking something as yours when it"s not is the blunder that I can"t make again".
Making the same note again in her heart, she stood up and started walking to her room to take her bathe, when suddenly she heard a click of the main door.
She turned to look towards the door to finf Deming coming with several bags from the nearby supermarket.
"Good morning, Little Cat. Hope you have completed your sleep properly this time", he said as he paced towards the dining table, placing down the vegetables.
Lifen too walked back to the dining table to look at what he is up to this time, "What"s all this? And where have you been early in the morning?".
"Ah this are some green leafy vegetables which are good for health. I have gone to the nearby supermarket to get some vegetables for us. Today while cooking breakfast, I found that the green vegetables are ending up. So here I have brought all these and will he preparing a healthy dinner in the night", he said with a smug as if he has done some sort of great job for which he should be praised.
"...", she was dumbfounded by his words. The Great w.a.n.g Deming has went to the supermarket to get vegetables. No one is going to buy these words if they didn"t witnessed this with their eyes.
When got response from her, Deming felt a little disappointed as he wanted some good words from her but she didn"t made any word in his favour.
"Okay, now you go and take your bathe, I have prepared breakfast already. In the meantime, I will reheat them for you", he said with enthusiasm and gently pushed her to the room and then to the bathroom.
After completing her bathing procedure, soon Lifen came out only to find Deming eagerly waiting for her at the table with breakfast.
He heartily welcomed hee and served her a plate of nutritious light meal. She can"t help but stare him with wide eyes. What"s happening? Why it feels like everything is so perfect as if we have never being separated?
It feels like we have are newly weds, but the roles are being exchanged between us. Why I feel like I"m his husband and he is playing the role or sweet, lovely and efficient wife.
"How"s that? Does it suit your taste? Is there anything that you don"t like? Tell me I will make it again or maybe I can improve it according to your taste", he asked.
"When did you learn it?", she didn"t answered him, instead asked another question to him.
"Huh? Oh this I have always known the basic cooking skills, since I was fourteen and I have to live in States alone. But in these two years, I have sharpen those skills thinking that you quite like cooking so when being together with you I can be your a.s.sistant ", he said lowering his head and then adding some salad to her plate.
Lifen didn"t find any proper reply for his words , so she can only spell, "Oh!".
"Do you like it?", he asked again.
"It"s good", she said plainly and put some salad into her mouth.
"Then my efforts has been worthwhile. Don"t you think, you should reward me for this?", he said giving a devilish smirk.
"Who am I to reward the great billionaire President of w.a.n.g Corporations. You can"t make such lame jokes", she said without even looking at him.
"I am not kidding. I am being the most serious here", he said nonchalantly.
"Okay then tell me. If it is under my boundaries then I will surely make it up to you", she said putting down her spoon.
"Go and get dressed in something light and comfortable. I will do the dishes. Hurry up, go and change", he said as he stood up and collected the dishes from the table and walked to the kitchen.
Lifen followed him, "But...You asked for something and then you aren"t telling me clearly. Where are we going?"
"That"s my reward. I want your time. I want you to be with me in all days when I am here, in London ", he said with a warm smile.
He didn"t gave her any chance to word further and make her go back in the room and change.
Lifen too didn"t wanted to give any harsh words to him. She had already said manu rude words to him, yesterday night and in the morning too. She can"t hurt him anymore. She has seen his eyes where pain was so much visible.
Soon she came out in a loose baggy blouse with a V neck tugged inside high waist jeans. She was also carrying a black leather jacket in her arms.
"So you are ready", he said hastily. He can"t make her uncomfortable by making her realise how her looks and behaviour always gives hard time to her.
"Hmmm...let"s go", she said as she walked towards the main door.
Getting inside the car, Lifen asked, "Where are we going?"
"Ummm...I didn"t wanted to make it awkward but since you are asking then I will tell you. Look we already hard such heavy and gross talks in the morning. And you said that you aren"t going to interfere in my actions so....", he paused and looked at her mischievously.
"So what?", she asked in antic.i.p.ation.
"So I thought we can go on a date. Since we haven"t been to one. First we will go to some shopping, then...ummmm the rest are surprises", he said giving a wink to her.
Huh? This man is for real. He has planned for a date without asking her. Not to mention, she hasn"t known that she was going to one and that to with him. Why do he always get on her nerves?
