When Scarlet returned to the real world, she went to the kitchen with every intention of finally starting on that pizza. It was late however, coming to nine o'clock and she was quite hungry. By this time, Justin too had probably had dinner with her parents. Did she still have to cook the pizza, she wondered.
She found Cecily in her kitchen with Gertrude and Anna. On the counter was a replacement of the ingredients that had been hurled during the fight.
What was she doing here, again? She had already stormed off after saying such harsh words.
"Leave us." Cecily told the maids.
"Yes my lady." Gertrude and Anna bowed before leaving.
Since the ingredients were already prepared, Scarlet washed her hands and set out to prepare the pizza. For a good ten minutes, she ignored the woman whose presence was causing her discomfort. If she had nothing to say, then she too would not be opening her mouth as well.
She mixed the dough aggressively, ignoring the fact that she could use a mixer. She went through all the necessary steps of preparing a chicken pizza and finally two pizzas went into the oven, and she started working on a third.
Cecily maintained the same position on at the dining table, showing no intention to abandon it anytime soon.You can trace the roots of this content at n0v@lbin
"Aren't you going to say anything to me?" Cecily finally said, for some reason exasperated.
"Has Justin eaten?" She asked Cecily.
"I checked in on him one hour ago and he is already sleeping with your brother, Adler. I guess he was worn out from playing and training." Cecily, then looked down and frowned for a few seconds before asking Scarlet, " Do you think I should apologize to Lora as well, she is your guest after all. And she was right in saying that Esong should have shut those rumors down immediately. It's not right, what you have had to endure for months now."
Scarlet thought about it for a while, thinking back to all the times Lora had deliberately been rude, loud, and mean to her.
"No." She said and then she chuckled as she handed Cecily a fork, knife and a glass of juice before inviting her to enjoy the pizza together. "She needed to be taken down a peg, she can be quite annoying at times."
Cecily nodded as she stuffed her mouth with pizza, she abandoned the knife and fork, choosing to use her hands the same was Scarlet was doing it. Between bites she said, "Not just annoying, she is so freaking rude to everyone and she is always glaring. She has a stick up her butt, a big one."
Scarlet giggled because Cecily was behaving in a manner completely opposite to her normal self. She had not even bothered to wipe the sauce on the side of her cheeks, normally the woman took one bite of food and wiped her lips.
"This is so good." Cecily picked up her third slice of pizza. "What's her story anyway? Why is she so angry at the world?"
"Life dealt her an unfair blow." Was all Scarlet said.
Cecily shrugged and thought, she is not the only one, life was unfair to many others but they did not walk around acting as if they were owed something.
They managed to polish off one and a half pizzas before Tion made his way to the kitchen and switched on the television which was reporting Esong's accident.
