Chapter 52 - Shoot Herself In The Foot

"You are like a fire in that winter, lighting up the fire in my heart!"

Scarlett hummed a song and brought the carefully cooked dishes to the table.

She took off her apron and looked at the beautiful dishes in a good mood.

She wished that Mike could eat all those things.

Thinking about how the man tossed and turned, Scarlett felt that she had avenged her extra five pounds of fat!

There was still some time before Mike got off work. Scarlett took out her phone.

She patted his face to prevent herself from laughing out loud. She tried hard to put on a heavy expression.

"Hello, Mike! I am your dedicated maid, Scarlett. I have something to do tonight, so I have to leave now."

"Really? But my secretary bought steamed dumplings. I seem to recall that you like it."

Scarlett was stunned. She liked it a lot. The steamed dumplings were all limited. She tried for several days and failed to buy them.

He gritted his teeth and looked at the carefully arranged feast on the table. She still had the chance to eat the steamed dumplings in the future. She should take down Mike first!

"I'm sorry. I'm afraid I can't eat with you today."

"Are you sorry?" Mike's voice sounded a little close.

Scarlett didn't think further about it, "Yes, I'm sorry. My heart hurts."

She couldn't eat the steamed dumplings, and she couldn't see the scene of Mike making a fool of himself. Fortunately, she put a camera in his bedroom, and it was still wonderful to watch the video tomorrow.

"I am a very good Keeper. So, you don't have to be sorry."

Scarlett turned around, and Mike stood behind her with a lunch box. She screamed in fear and threw her phone away.

"You ... What are you doing here?"

Seeing Mike at this time was not much different from seeing a ghost. It was so horrifying!

"I came back after I finished my work."

Mike walked past her and saw the dishes on the table. The corners of his lips curled up. "The food is ready. You are so efficient."

"I still have something to do. I really have to go now!" Scarlett lowered her head and quickly moved to the door.

If she didn't slip away now, he might cause her trouble when his nose bled.

Seeing that she was about to slip away, he reached out to grab her collar and dragged her back.

"I'm in a good mood today. You must stay."

"What? No!" She shook her head.

He smiled and reached out to flick her forehead. "You can say it later."

Scarlett's smile was stiff. Why did she feel that Mike had seen through her plan?

"Let me see what dishes you have prepared today." He walked to the table, and Scarlett rushed over immediately.

"It's unhygienic if you don't wash your hands before dinner. Go wash your hands."

"Right! But you can't slip away. Otherwise..."

"Dock my wages!" Scarlett replied, thinking to herself that even if he would dock her wages, she still had to slip away. Otherwise, she would be in trouble.

He nodded in satisfaction and went to the bathroom.

Scarlett took the opportunity to slip away as fast as possible. She rushed to the door and tried to open it, but the door was locked.

"What's going on?" Scarlett did not give up and pulled the door open.

"Recently, the news has said that a prisoner has escaped from prison. To be safe, we must lock the door."

His voice came from behind her. Scarlett wanted to cry.

"Didn't it happen in the neighboring city? You are too careful, right?

"Maybe I remembered wrong. What are you doing? Do you still want to slip away?" Mike pretended to be thinking.

"No, I just checked how strong the door is. It's good." Scarlett forced a smile.

"Didn't you think about the steamed dumplings for a long time? Come and have some."

Scarlett wanted to cry but had no tears. She wanted to eat steamed dumplings, not to be eaten by him.

Now, she could only temporarily give up on her plan. She could not let him eat the food.

If he ate the food alone at home, he would suffer.

But if she was also here...

He wouldn't be able to suppress his desire, and she would be in trouble.

Scarlett imagined some lustful scenes, and her expression became twisted.

Mike saw her expression and felt amused. He could read her mind through her face!

He grabbed a chair and sat down. Scarlett immediately rushed over and blocked the dining table.

"I remember that you can't eat these dishes!"

"Is that so? Why? Fish soup, grilled oysters. It looks like you're very attentive. If I remember correctly, these dishes have a common effect."

"They have no effect at all! I went to the toilet and didn't wash my hands before cooking. Mike, I was wrong. You can dock my monthly wages. Any punishment can do. Just don't eat the food, OK?"

If he ate it, would she be able to walk out of here untouched?

He sat, and she stood. The distance between them was less than one foot.

He could smell her scent mixed with the faint smell from cooking. It smelt like home.

Scarlett saw that he was looking at her without moving. His eyes were so deep. She thought that he was angry with what she had just said, so she explained awkwardly.

"Actually, it's not like this. I just ... I..."

She kept saying, revealing her rosy little mouth and white teeth. After thinking for a while, she could not come up with an excuse.

He became excited. He didn't hear what she said. She had done something bad and felt guilty. She wanted to find an excuse, which was adorable. He only had one thought now.

He wanted her. He wanted to sleep with her so badly!

Suddenly, Scarlett felt a huge force push her body.

With her back against the cold marble, she was pressed down on the dining table.

The dining table was not long. Scarlett was forced to lie on it. The dishes prepared by her were next to her. She could even smell the delicious dishes. The man on top of her had a dangerous expression.

"You haven't eaten yet, right? Why are you like this?" Scarlett felt desperate.

She just wanted to take revenge on him. Why did she end up like this?

"Do you really think that I don't know what you are up to?"

For his feeding plan, he had read two medicine books!

"This is a misunderstanding! Mike, I was wrong. Can I apologize to you?" This time, she had shot herself in the foot. She didn't see it coming!

Mike's voice was low and charming.

"It's too late. Since you did it, you have to bear the consequences. Scarlett, I will prove to you that I can still make you happy without eating those dishes...."
