Chapter 267 - Food is all about flavour dipped in love and concern.

Leaving Lifen back in the room,  Deming quickly came downstairs to the kitchen. As he has asked before, the butler and maids were long disappeared into their quarters. There was no trace of them back in the house.

He entered the kitchen and took in the surrounding.  It wasn't that he was very much skilled in cooking but who has got the skills from the moment they they have born.

The moment you got someone for whom your heart desires to cook, your skills will automatically get heightened.  Food is all about flavours of love and concern that one puts into it for the person, they are cooking for.

And previously in London, when he was shamelessly freeloading in Lifen's apartment he has tried his hands in helping her in the kitchen. And he can tell it was not too bad to cook, just a little attention and concentration on process with some basic science and everything will be fine.

Glancing at the set of quality knives perfectly arranged on the glass counter top,  he skillfully took a hold of the apron that was hanging aside to wrap himself below waste.

It was his very first time cooking. First he thought of going for some lavish dishes since he wanted to lift up the dampen mood of Lifen through his flovourful food but after some second thoughts he restrained himself for something that a beginner should try.

Or else it would be more bad if his attempt turned out to be disastrous. If the first time worked, he will always have a second time to try out the others.

He took out his phone and set it at a perfect angle. He had alresdy asked the top chefs from his seven star restraunts to send him a tutorial videos of some simple and lavish dishes. 

His simple request has fretted out the chefs to their deaths thinking what exactly was going on inside the devil's head. They have got the air of the news where the devil has ruthlessly massacred the future of an employee from Research and Development department.

Setting the video perfectly, Deming tried his hand on some plain dishes. He has efficient took the help of electric rice cooker to cook rice and then busied himself to move towards preparing 'pepper steak stir fry'.

He prepared the soy broth as asked in the video and added the perfectly sliced meat into it to let it simmer for 30 minutes. He didn't dared to remove his eyes from the cooking stove feeling that it would perfect disaster if he did so.

After getting to the time that was asked to let it simmer simmer, he added the other ingredients to it which included bell peppers, tomatoes,  some good amount of garlic, cornstarch and baby corn.

Soon he felt the light aroma coming. It was really not hard to cook something so simple. He gave himself a good boast up and then made a mental note that he will definitely increase the pay of such a good chef whose skills are simple to learn.

Just by cooking a simple dish, he felt that cooking was really worth trying in that way he would always be able to cook nutritious food for his Little Cat and make her a little more plump. That way she would grow even more cute.

Thinking all this his lips tugged upwards. He served the dish beautifully in the serving bowls and then presented it on the dining table. His eyes went in the direction of of upstairs.

Lifen was in the room maybe still the bathroom getting freshen-up. On this mere thought his eyes gave a mischievous glint. He unwrapped the apron, hanging it back on the stand from where he has taken it and went upstairs.

'There is a surprise for you, Little Cat', he smiled at the thought as he made his way upstairs.

In the room Lifen was still in the bathroom. Closing the door of the room, she has thought to go in the closet to look for a dress for herself but then did against her thought. 

She slipped into the bathroom before thinking she could freshen up first and then could take time to stroll into the closet. Before doing so, she has perfectly confirmed that there was bathrobes present on the shelves of the bathroom.

When she got out of the washroom, wrapping herself in the comfy bathrobe, her skin was red and was looking fresh. She had already dried her hair inside. The only thing left was to get herself a dress quickly to change back.

When she got out of the bathroom she was expecting the room to be empty and it was perfectly what she has expected but there was a faint smell of a familiar cologne. 

She shrugged off her thoughts thinking it might be so because this was his house and it seems pretty normal since door was still perfectly slid closed.

She took her time to admire herself in the mirror as she put on her regular moisturiser. She was really impressed.  She never thought that Deming would have notice such a small detail about her too.

It really touched her heart. Suddenly she remembered her time with him in his study. Just the thought of how close they were earlier made her cheek go red and her body hot.

She felt the shivers of nervousness when remembered how his body was pressed over hers. Though she has loved him from twelve years back and even waited for him, the scenario from before never struck her thoughts. 

It has always been light and sensual kisses between them. Now rethinking about it she felt she was really too naive and innocent all these years.

She patted her flushed cheeks to calm her nerves down and then shook off her thoughts. There is still time for them to reach that part of relationship. She made herself understand, while calming down the strings of anxiety in her heart.

Taking a last look of herself she turned and walked in the direction of the closet. 'I need to be quick. Deming would be waiting for me downstairs', she said as she slid open the door of the closet.

The moment she did so she was taken aback. Her eyes got a little bigger as her mouth went agape with a dumbstruck expression.
