The Love of Mr. Erick
GCTE | Chapter 42

Hueek!

"What drink is this? why does tea taste salty?" lady Sarah repressed the tea that she had drunk, Elena had worked hard to make it after previously falling. Elena's cheeks in the ointment clothes were also around the circle of her eyes, but mistress Sarah did not care and did not bother to ask why.

"Is really salty? but as I recall, I added sugar instead of salt, why salt?"

"Yes, how do I know, just try it yourself." murmured Sarah.

Elena's heart throbbed pain, she tried to drink the tea made and it was indeed salty until she did not succeed in swallowing. Elena frowned in wonder, it was strange that he could not misplace salt and open sugar.

While Mona was coming, seeing Elena in confusion she smirked. Of course all this was his plan, he ordered Tika to quietly put a lot of salt in the tea that Elena had made. And bombs! as expected, this is very fun.

"Mmm, I'm starting to doubt you, maybe you don't understand the kitchen at all?" ask lady Sarah, cornered.

"Of course mom. Since the first job as a secretary who is only busy struggling in pen and paper, how do you know brother-in-law about the duties of a wife, right?" mona's increasingly cornered affliction made Elena even more downcast.

"Huh, how could you possibly want to marry even Erickson for the sake of his property?" re-accuse lady Sarah.

"No." Elena dodged immediately. Out of nowhere he had the courage to defend himself this time.

"Waw, immediately denying his appearance." stunned mistress Sarah and the woman cleared her throat slowly.

"Then prove my estimate wrong."

Unknowingly Elena swallowed the coarse salivary, for some reason there was an intimidating aura that suddenly suffocated her.

"You're a woman, a wife, a housewife." The three words were emphasized by Miss Sarah. "A yes to making tea alone can't, let alone cooking?"

"I can cook." Elena replied quickly.

"Oh yeah." Madame Sarah raised an eyebrow, chopped. "Then prove it to me. Think of this as your training as the future successor of this mansion's mistress. At least you know the duty as a wife."

"Did you prove that you didn't marry Erick just for the treasure?" the eyes of mistress Sarah spoke as she said that, glittering sharply was also full of mystery.

"Well, I'll prove that if I marry your son, it's not because of property or anything. I'm not the materialist woman you think I am" said Elena diplomatically.

Lady Sarah was flabbergasted. "I admit your courage this time."

The thumping back of mistress Sarah straightened her back in a graceful manner. She always looked elegant and intimidating.

"alright. The way to prove it is to make a fancy dinner for this family, let us assess how your qualities as a wife and lady Davidson are honoured."

"good. I accept this challenge" Elena said. This could be for self-evidence, which has always been in the eye just because it is not equal to them.

"All right, I can't wait to see it," said Ms. Sarah.

...***...

"Amazing mom, that was great.What plan is mommy stacking this time?" mona asked after Elena's departure a while ago.

"Relax honey, you'll see for yourself." Lady Sarah smiled.

"Oh yeah, do you know what a great discovery mommy's made?" lady Sarah looks thrilled.

"What is mom?" ask Mona curiously.

"Taraa!" lady Sarah showed me her expensive phone screen, which was when Mona's eyes were wide open to see a photo inside.

"This is Elena's slum? who's the guy next to her mom?!"

What Mona saw was a photo of Elena with a man with no distance in a pretty friendly pose.

"Mommy doesn't know who the man is, but mommy found this photo while casually opening the woman's phone which is still in a state of flaming, because this discovery is good mommy send to mommy's phone." bright lady Sarah.

Mona seemed to think and then her eyes turned wide again. "Mom, is it possible that the man is her lover the slum woman?"

"It could be, but it might be an ex."

"Because there's no way a woman like that slum could betray behind Erick."

"But it could be mom. No one knows how cunning that seedy Elena is."

"It's just that mommy's instincts say they're just ex-boyfriends. But whatever it is we can use this guy for our future plans."

They looked at each other with sly smiles.

"Yet, really mom. Mommy's smart, but how's mom?" mona asked back, looking so excited that she forgot her sadness about the breakdown of her relationship with Johson.

"You take it easy, it's always a clever idea in here" said Ms. Sarah tapping her fingers on her forehead.

Mona looks carefree impatient with the idea that her mommy will give.

...***...

The day had changed late in the afternoon, an orange seemed to hang over the horizon.

In the kitchen pantry there are six maids lined up as well as bik Surti and Pak Pandu are both watching their young mistress is cooking so diligently.

In order to take on the challenge of her mother-in-law, Elena did everything in cooking a sumptuous dinner for this family all by herself. Moreover, Lady Sarah had requested a variety of different food menus and with a difficult cooking level and even then she admitted herself by Bik Surti as the head of the kitchen, the one responsible for the cuisine in this mansion.

"His, don't we want to help? making the food menu in the request of the big lady was not easy, at least let us help," said Bik Surti who was sorry to see Elena's struggle so hard work. Moreover, Lady Sarah did not escape asking that Elena cook with large portions on the grounds that the other residents of the mansion can also taste the cuisine made by Elena.

"It's okay, I can still handle it alone."

"But what lady Sarah asked for was that the food menu was almost as large as it was, surely the young mistress would have trouble making it," kelit bik Surti is still trying to ask his young mistress to be helped.

Elena paused for a moment in mating the ingredients she was about to fry, turning briefly towards Surti's bik she smiled gently.

"Bik. in this case, it is not just about who cooks but also proof and determination. They want to eat my cooking, then I have to cook it myself."

Bik Surti held his breath, knowing Elena was not a day two days but three years more. Before becoming Erick's wife, bik Surti had known Elena as a deft and responsible personal assistant. He knew how humble the girl was.

"alright. But if the young mistress has trouble do not hesitate to ask for help," said Bik Surti, he and Elena are already familiar, so there is never awkward between them.

"Yes bik. Thank you, yeah."

...***...

Elena breathed a long sigh of relief after her hard work had already paid off. The cuisine is now ready to serve.

Bik Surti who was always beside him was cheering cheerfully. "Waaaah, this must be delicious." he clapped his hands.

Elena smiled, she then took half a spoonful of her cooking to taste. Putting it in her mouth and tasting for quite a while Elena further widened her smile. "It feels right."

"His son?" ask bik Surti impatiently.

Elena nodded. "Auntie want to try?"

"Hehe, can it be non?"

Elena nodded, then made Surti taste a little. "Waaaah this ismah Perfect, cool young mistress, already a chef class."

Elena laughed with that compliment. "Yes please prepare the plate yes bi, help me to present."

"Neither."

When Elena and Bik Surti are now struggling with preparing the dining table, without them knowing there are two people who secretly sneak into the kitchen.

They seemed to be sneaking around, looking around very carefully.

When it was right to the cuisine Elena had made that was still on the stove, they grinned. Then start sprinkling something in a small container that they're under, into all that cooking.
