I woke up as early as 6am and got ready to work and since I’m now the CEO of the company I can go to work anytime without someone questioning me but that won’t make me go to work late. I was about to make my way out of the room when I heard a knock on the door, on opening the door, it was Ava. My soon to be wedded wife is staring at me with a smile. “Good morning hubby!!” She spoke happily with her dimples showing. Looking at her, she was already dressed for work and I’m certain that she was happy that I was ready as well. “I see you’re already prepared. Why don’t we go downstairs and have breakfast before going to work? I had no choice other than following her to dinner where some food was served on the table. “Who prepared those foods? I was forced to ask her such questions as she smiled at me then sat down. “Just guess!!” She whispered, while awaiting my response. How does she expect me to guess who might have cooked the food? “I’m sorry but I can’t. Can you just tell me who made it before devouring it? I could see the sad countenance in her eyes the moment I uttered Such words but I ignored it completely. I don’t have any fucking time for her mere feelings.
“It’s me of course! Why’s that so hard for you to figure out?” She Questions me as I ignore her completely. I went on taking a bite of the toasted bread filled with; sardines, mayonnaise, pearl, tomatoes, onions, and fried egg but the taste tasted different. I will say she tries though but not to Raven’s own. Raven was very good in making toasted bread with fruit and this type of Ingredients but her own wasn’t really toasted. All those while, I could see her eyes on me. Probably waiting for my review about the bread so in order not to make her feel bad, I decided to give compliment her. “You tried though…..!!! “Thank you so much husband. I know you will enjoy this, which is the reason why I have decided to prepare you one of my favorite breakfasts which I learned from a very great chef. The fruit toasted bread is one of the rare food methods you could ever see anyone Cook. I bet Raven doesn’t know this type so she doesn’t cook it for you but you’re husband now, I will cook whatever you wish to eat for you “. She interrupted my words and ended up saying something as nasty as this. With her saying Such words, I quickly lost appetite of what I was eating as I hit my hand against the table, causing my coffee to pour away.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
“What’s the meaning of that Ava? How many times have I warned you never to mention her name ever in my presence again? Why are you comparing yourself to her? If you’re really jealous of her then why can’t you go and meet her then compete with her?” This is one of the reasons why I hate her. She’s just so proud of herself and feels like everyone is above her. “You’ve made me lost Appetite of this already Ava. You can eat to your satisfaction. Thanks”.
“I’m sorry!!” She apologized the moment I started walking away. Her apology wouldn’t change anything. It won’t change the fact that she had started making me hate her for no reason, which isn’t right. I hopped into my luxurious car and drove away.

At first she was so secretive in calling out the person’s name to me but the moment I bellowed at her, she spit out the beans immediately on seeing that I was now getting Angry and impatient.
“If you don’t want to say anything please go out and don’t provoke me any longer”. I bellowed at her with a serious face which frightened her and made her apologize immediately. Even though she has been a good friend of mine, I won’t hesitate to fire her so she should just be careful around me.
