Chapter 29 Patience, Shannica...
(SHANNICA'S P.O.V)
A week passed by...
"I SAID THROW THAT AWAY!" Xenon shouted and throw his project at school that I made for him.
One week. It's been a week since I moved in to the Lincoln's mansion, and I am really trying... Trying so hard to blend in to their world.
I look at the mini house I made for Xenon's school project scattered on the floor. They were ask to make a mini house out of eco-friendly materials, and dang, I spent 3 days to make that house, but now it's destroyed, shattered on the floor.
"Young master..." Milla call Xenon in a disappointing tone.
Glenda and Milla look at me, while the other maid picked up the ruined project on the floor,
I smile at them and face Xenon, "Shall we make another one together, Xenon?" I asks.
"Mind your own business, woman. I don't need your help!" he shouted, stood up from the couch, and walk away heading to his room upstairs.
"Sir Xenon, wait!" Glenda hissed and followed Xenon. After a few second, I heard a hard slam from Xenon's door.
I sigh. Ever since last week after the wedding, Xander go back to work, and wow, I didn't know he really is a workaholic monster. He's been working 24/7. Since Monday, he left home as early as 7:00 am, and went back late 10 or 11 PM in the evening. And now it's Saturday, but he's not here. I woke up and saw that he's not on bed already. And when I went downstairs, Aunt Milla inform me that Xander left early in the morning to meet a client.
Anyways, that's his life, I don't even have a right to question his lifestyle or to stop him from being so workaholic. Is this why he doesn't have time for his own son?
I glance at the wall clock and notice that it's almost lunch time, hmm shall we cook something?
I head on the dining area and ask the chef,
"What's the menu for today's lunch, Lester?" I ask, our chef is a middle aged man named Lester, from what Aunt Milla said, his been the mansion's chef for almost 6 years already.
"It's a rare wagyu steak for you and Young master, madame." he answered and I saw him washing the beef.
Steak again? Dang, we had steak last night tho.
Suddenly, I got an idea. Well, it's been a while since I also cook something.
"Is there any chicken breast on the fridge?" I asks.
The maid checked, and get back to me, "Yes, Madame."
I smile, "Good, get me some. I'll be cooking for lunch." I informed them.
They look at me surprisingly especially Lester, "M-Madame we can't let you cook, sir Xander would scold us---"
I cut his words immediately, "It's fine, don't worry. I will just inform him myself later."
"By the way, does Xenon eat chicken? What does he usually like?" I ask chef Lester.
"Young master love fried chicken, Madame. Though Sir Xander asks us to minimize giving him chicken and have him eat more veggies from time to time." he added.
So they are the one to decide what Xenon should eat? How about the kid's own liking? Tsk.
I shook my head and starts wearing an apron to start cooking, I boiled the chicken in low heat.
I decided to cook Baked Garlic Parmesan Chicken. I put the chicken on the oven and preheat the chicken to 350 degrees. In a bowl, I blended the olive oil and garlic. Then in a separate bowl, I mix the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, basil, and pepper.
After few minutes, I get the chicken from the oven, and dip each chicken breast in the oil mixture, then in the bread crumb mixture.
"I didn't know that you're quite a master in the kitchen, Madame Shannica." the chef Lester complimented me even though I'm still not done with my recipe.
I arrange the coated chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish, and top the remaining bread crumb mixture. I use to cook this recipe so much since I am really in love with chicken. And this chicken recipe is one of my favorite aside from fried chicken alone.
I put the chicken back to the oven and let it baked for 30 minutes, while Lester also continued making the wagyu steak in case my food won't be into Xenon's liking.
"It's done!" I happily uttered and put the Baked Garlic Chicken on the kitchen top, I called for some maids to try my recipe, and we taste the chicken together.
"Woah..." One of the maid uttered and gesture a thumbs up to me,
"Wow madame, it tastes so good!!" the next one commented and I can see right thru her eyes that it's sparkling.
"What do you think, Lester?" I asks,
Our chef take a bit, and his eyes widened after,
"Impressive, Madame. The chicken is so soft, and you seasoned it well. It's delicious."
My smile widen as I prepare the chicken in a tray and serve it at the dining table. I can't wait for Xenon to taste my recipe!
"Should we call the Young Master, Madame?" they ask.
"No.. I'll call him upstairs, just prepare his fruit shake please." I smile at them and I went upstairs excitedly.
After I stop at Xenon's doorway, I knock two times, "Xenon? It's me, Shannica." I started.
He didn't respond so I decided to open the door, "Xenon?"
"Who gave you permission to come in when I did not told you to do so?" He coldly asks. He is leaning on the bed's head board while holding a book.
Here we go again with this arrogant kid.
"Oh, you didn't respond, so I thought you fell asleep or something--"
"Get out." he immediately cut my word and get his attention back to the book he is reading.
I frown,
"It's time for lunch, Xenon. Let's eat." I said in a serious tone.
He glance at me, "You could have just give orders to the maids to call me, why are you here yourself?" he asks without any expression from his face.
I smile, "Because I cook something for you, and I'm really excited to inform you. Mind if you give it a taste, young master?" I said playfully and give him a sweet smile.
He look a little surprise, and look away,
"D-Don't smile, it's creepy!" he raise his voice and frown.
I walk closer to him and offer him a hand, "Let's go and eat?"
He look at my hand, and instead of accepting it, he shove it away and stood up,
"Get out of my way!" he yelled again and went out the room in his own.
Phew, patience Shannica...
