Chapter 2 Aroma

"Andre you don't have to fire the poor man, look at me I am perfectly ok, it is because of the baby and nothing else. I have even tried fish before and I did not feel nausea or anything, if anyone should be blamed it should be the baby." She touched his cheek as she explained. Both of them staring into each other's eyes.

Andre slightly nodded his head. "Ok, but just this one time if it repeats itself again I will definitely fire him."

She burst into laughter. "Ok no problem. Now let's go and eat. I am starving."

He held her hand and then went back to the dining area. He helped her with the chair and kept on picking her favorite food for her as she ate.

"So delicious I think I like this chef we can't fired him if his food is this delicious we have to pay him more instead so that he won't leave." She took another bite of the steak and widened her eyes in amusement. This is the first time that she is enjoying her breakfast after a very long time.

Before they knew it she had eaten three bowls of rice and she almost finished up her food while Andre just kept on picking food for her. He is not a fan of delicious food and he did not fancy it; he only kept on hiring good chefs because of Diva. He sent the signal to the butler to come and whispered. "Double his salary."

Mr Aaron smiled and nodded. He is already expecting this, the chef food is good and Andre will do everything to keep him.

"So is my stuff in the room downstairs already I want to take a shower I am so tired." She yawned, she was already dozing off as if the chef added sleeping pills to the food.

"I will take you there, you look so tired you should sleep early." He showed her the room before he went to his private office to continue his work. He might look jobless but he has piles of work to handle everyday. The only reason he stays calm and pretends as if he had nothing to do is because he has to take care of his wife.

Diva took her bath and changed to something more comfortable before she lay down on the bed and slept off. She was planning to wait for Andre to come back but she did not know when she dozed off.

When Andre was about to be done with his work he went to the room to check on her. The light is still switched on and she did not cover herself with the blanket properly.

He smiled and used the blanket to cover her very well. He kissed her forehead and whispered. "I love you goodnight."

Diva pouted as if she heard what he said. Andre finds this cute and his lip moves slightly. He turned off the light and left the room. He went back to his office to continue his work.

Diva woke up by the sunlight shining into her room she yawned tossing and turning on the bed she enjoyed her sleep and had already guessed that Andre must leave for work.

"He did not even say goodbye." She pouted, stretching her hand and looking at the side to find a letter.

The letter is from Andre and it is written. "Good morning my love I have to leave for work early and I don't want to disturb you, take care of yourself and our baby loves you."

Diva smiled as she read the letter and she did not look sad again, she sighed and got up from the bed she wore her slippers and went to the bathroom and took her bath she came out dressed in a new fresh cloth.

She walked to the living room and all kinds of aroma was coming from the kitchen. It seems like today's food will taste good too and she can't wait to start eating. She goes to the kitchen and the chef and the maids immediately bow as a greeting.

"Good afternoon ma'am, lunch will soon be ready." The chef said with much respect, he is really grateful to her for helping him yesterday. If not he will be jobless by now although he will find a job quickly but his salary might not be up to what he is collecting now.

Diva nodded and sat down on the stand. " Ok I will sit down here and watch you, just do your thing I will watch."

"Alright ma'am." He said awkwardly, he is a very shy person and hates to be watched while cooking. That's part of the reason he rejects being on a cooking show after a lot of offers. He prefers keeping his cooking talent and making his master enjoy his meal than being a star.

Diva smiled, noticing the awkwardness he felt. "You don't have to feel shy or anything, ok I will just watch and won't say anything."

"Alright ma'am."he responds and continues with the food he is preparing.

"By the way how did you become a chef at a very young age." She asked in curiosity.

The chef looks up, giving her a weird look and she immediately knows the reason why.

"Ohk I promise not to say anything but I will only ask you this question and nothing else ok so please answer me." she smiled awkwardly.

The chef ."I used to watch my grandfather as he cooked and I also love that too. He taught me some basic skills and I learned the rest after working for a restaurant for years."

"Ok that's great." Her phone rings and she picks it up to check the caller ID. "Excuse me for a minute." She leaves the kitchen before she picks up the call.

"Hi mom." she said.

"Andre, call me now and tell me about your pregnancy, how are you doing?" Her mom responded from the other end.

"Fine mom, thanks for calling." She responds in a distant tone, she is not so close to her mom.

"Alright bye take care." Her mom said before she hung up.

Diva sighed and went to the kitchen. Everything is ready and the maid is taking the food to the dining area.
