"I think you both should go and take bath! Till then I will serve the food, prepared by Rhehan."
"Yes master!" They both spoke in unison and were about to leave, when Xio Lee saw a wide grin on their faces. They were looking at each other wickedly, and Xio Lee knew, what was going on in their minds.
"Seperate bathrooms, you both! Make sure!" Xio Lee spoke, glaring at them.
Rose pursed her lips and blushed, while Rhehan chuckled. "Yes master!" They both spoke in unison again.
"And you girl! I was serious about 40- hour training! You will start today at noon!"
"Yes master!" Rose replied with a gloomy face.
They both walked away, while Xio Lee took the other entrance of the kitchen, to serve the food. In just a few days, the life had changed so much that Xio Lee, was in a deep pensive mood.
First Lizie and Lilly's accident. Then Rhehan knowing the secret. Suddenly Xio Lee was feeling that he was wasting his life, by staying away from his loved ones. His regrets were increasing every second.
He switched on the ignition of all the gases, and started stirring the dishes. "I am so lucky to have so many people around me, inspite of being an orphan. Am I doing the correct thing, by staying away from them?"
A few minutes later, Xio Lee had already started serving the pipping hot dishes on the table turn by turn, waiting for the two.
After another fifteen minutes, Rose came out of the elevator, dressed in Rhehan's shorts and tee-shirt. "Here! I will help you master!"
"No way! Just sit" Xio Lee pointed angrily towards a chair.
Rose pursed her lips and quickly followed the instructions.
A few minutes later, Rhehan too came out from the same elevator, dressed in a formal grey shirt and a black pant. He quickly started helping Xio Lee and soon they all sat down, starting with their breakfast.
They all were munching happily at the delicious delicacies cooked by Rhehan, but Xio Lee was pretty quiet.
"This is so good Rhehan!" Rose grinned.
"Thank you hubby! You are a lucky dude!" Rhehan winked happily at her.
But, Xio Lee did not react. After a few seconds he suddenly looked up and kept down his fork, looking at the two. "Kids! I have to tell you something!"
Rose and Rhehan, looked at Xio Lee's serious face and frowned. "What is it master? Is everything ok?"
"Yes..everything is fine!"
"Then what do you have to tell us?" Rhehan asked, holding Xio Lee's shoulder in concern.
"I want to propose Lizie for marraige! Today!"
