Chapter 35: Chapter 35 - Hope it tastes as good

Lara changed into comfortable shoes and wore a bonnet and then rushed downstairs.

She reached the living room in time to see the cook coming back with the groceries.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" the cook asked when she saw Lara following behind her into the kitchen.

"Oh not much, when will you start preparing lunch?" She asked her hands behind her as she swayed from one foot to the other.

"In an hour, miss. Are you hungry now, I can start ear…." She started worried that Lara would lose her temper at her once again.

"No no no. Actually I just want the kitchen to myself" she cut the cook off.

The cook thought it wise not to ask further and just put all the groceries where they were and excused herself from the kitchen.
