"Rainy days should be spent at home
       With a cup of tea and a good book."      
                                   - Bill Watterson

=========================

Earlier this year, the world was suffering from a virus that originated from one of the Asian countries. Businesses went down, especially those from the tourism industry. Social distancing has been strictly reinforced. Panic buying has occurred everywhere with some of the countries being on a lockdown. It has been a difficult few months for many people and companies and this does not exclude Delilah's workplace.

Since Delilah was in-charge of training schedules in the company, most of her tasks were on-hold, due to the fact that most training centers were closed until further notice. And since there will be no more flights going out of the country, external training in other countries was also on-hold. 

Delilah has been doing nothing for a couple of days, other than reviewing her report for more than ten times. She was so bored that she even has the time to help Aubree with her work. Until one day, Aubree texted her, just as she had arrived at home after work.

'Hey, Delilah. I was just thinking. Maybe you shouldn't come to work after today,' Aubree's message reads.

Delilah was putting down her work bag on the dining table with her phone in one hand, reading. She frowned as she read the message. What does she mean?

She quickly shot a reply to Aubree, saying, 'Yeah, I was thinking of taking a day off.'

'No, no. What I mean is that you should just work from home. Until further notice.'

Her eyes widened in surprise at Aubree's message. Delilah did think of wanting to work from home since she doesn't really know what to do at work. And that she was kind of worried about stepping out of the house with this virus going around. But she did not expect that Aubree was thinking the same thing.

'Wait, what about you?' Delilah asked in the message. 'Will you be working from home as well?'

'Nah, I'm still going to work.'

'Eh, how come?' Delilah frowned in confusion. Why would she still be going to the office while she works from home? She does feel a bit grateful and happy that she was able to work from home. But she felt that it wouldn't be fair if Aubree still goes to the office.

'No worries. I also told the other HR employees to work from home.'

'You still haven't answered my question. How come you're not working from home?'

Delilah knew that Aubree was a worrywart that she was willing to stay in the office, thinking that there might still be other people calling at the office. Then again, what's the purpose of the receptionist?

With that thought, she continued to ask Aubree. 'Is Bella on leave?'

'Nah, she's still here but I just want to make sure that everything in the office is alright.'

Delilah sighed. She can never persuade her. Aubree can be too stubborn, especially when she worries over a small thing, making a mountain out of a molehill. 

'Fine fine,' she replied back. 'Just text me if there's anything happening or if you need any help.'

'Sure, sure. Go and have a nice time, working from home.'

So, the next morning, even though Delilah was working from home, she still woke up as usual. She made a quick breakfast of toasts and eggs before walking over to the living room, where she watched the morning news.

After watching the news, she went and grabbed her tablet and began to play some games. And once she got tired of playing games, she started to read webnovels such as 'Path of the Lilies' and 'Trust in Love'. She read the first one. It was a fantasy novel about a young girl who was known to the world as 'trash'. So, the story talks about her progression on how she fights against those who condemn and bully her. She loved this kind of plot as she loved to see how a weak character grew stronger. Delilah usually ended her reading by commenting, 'Ban Ye Ai Xia'. Ye Ai Xia was a character in 'Path of the Lilies'.

Once she was done reading the story, she began reading 'Trust in Love'. The story plot was about a girl who crossdressed as a boy in the modern world. It was kind of a romantic comedy and Delilah also enjoyed stories with crossdressing leads. Probably because she was interested in how they kept their secrets and whatnot. Other than the story plot, she also loved to read the comments where the other readers loved to claim one of the male characters as their own. So, she usually commented, saying that the characters were hers, instead. She liked to further frustrate the other readers by adding 'Dee' in the characters' names.

A couple of hours later, she was done reading her webnovels and started to feel bored. Her sister and nephew were still sleeping. Her father, brother and brother-in-law were already out to work. It seems like they don't have the benefit of working from home. Her brother-in-law worked at the bank, so it was no surprise as to why he can't work from home. But both her father and brother worked in an automotive company. She presumed that it was still alright for them to work at the office.

Her sister worked in a public school as a teacher and since all educational institutions were closed until further notice, her sister was also working from home. But she does go to the office once a week, just to hand her lesson plan and whatnot.

While waiting for her sister and nephew to wake up, she went to her room and grabbed her laptop. She then switched on her laptop and opened up her web messages. Seeing Aubree online, she began to blast her with messages such as, 'Hi, what are you doing?', 'Are you busy?', 'How's the office?', 'Is there anyone at the office?' and 'Aubree, I'm bored.'

Instead of replying to her messages, Aubree just sent a gif. 

Delilah opened up the link and laughed out loud when she saw the gif. It was a moving image with a funny looking guy with the caption of 'Shut up, bish!'

'I'm seriously bored. Whatcha doing?' she texted again.  

Again, instead of replying to her messages, Aubree just sent a link, which reads, 'What to do when you are quarantined at home.'

Delilah laughed again. She then shot another text, saying, 'Bish, I'm not quarantined. I'm just working from home!'

Aubree sent a 'Haha' sticker and finally replied, 'I'm just texting with Sheila, updating her about our website. Not really. I'm bored too. The office is okay, I guess. Nothing exciting is happening here. And yeah, Bella is here. I'm not sure about the other department. But I'm here with Fawkes. He said he has some things to do at the office, hence why he's at the office as well. And good for you. Be more bored.'

Delilah chuckled when she realized that Aubree had answered all her questions in just one text box. 'Anything that I can do to help?' she asked.

'Nah, not really.'

Delilah sighed. She really was bored. After a few more messages, she switched off her laptop and walked out of her room.

As she was about to walk past her sister's room, she noticed the door was slightly ajar. And she could hear sounds of people talking and some buzzing sounds. Walking into the room, without knocking on the door, she saw her sister lying on her stomach on her bed, watching some drama on her phone. Her nephew was sitting beside her, playing a game on a mobile phone as well.

Grinning, she immediately lay down beside her nephew and purposely crowding him. 

Kael looked over at her with a frown and quietly edged away, moving closer to his mother.

Delilah then continued to crowd him until he stood up and began to sit on the other side of his mother. 

She grabbed his arm and wailed out, "Kael! Love me!" 

"No! Go away!"

Delilah got up from the bed and began to crowd him again, much to his frustration. He then shouted again, "No! Go away!"

Knowing that he will continue to ignore her, Delilah grabbed one of his favourite plush toys and said in a sing-song voice, "Oh look! It's my baby!"

Looking up, Kael saw his aunt cuddling with his plush toy. He then placed his phone down and began to reach for the toy. Lifting the toy out of his reach, Delilah laughed at his face, which began to crumble and he then cried out loud. 

He ran to his mother, who was still watching her drama and sobbed out, "Mama, mama! Aunt Dee stole my baby!"

"Hug me first!" Delilah said, opening her arms wide.

"No!"

"No hug means no baby!"

He began to cry harder.

With a sigh, Miya said to Kael, "Go and hug your aunt Dee."

Pouting, he walked over reluctantly and gave Delilah a hug. Moments later, she handed him the plush toy, which he quickly snatched and hid from her. 

Once she was done teasing Kael, she lay down next to Miya and asked, "What's your plan?"

"I don't know. What's your plan?"

"I don't know. I'm bored."

Miya paused her drama and looked over at Delilah with a thoughtful frown. She then looked as if an idea had occurred to her. She immediately minimized her drama and went on her social media. After a few scrolls, she finally found what she has been looking for and showed it to Delilah. "Let's make this."

Delilah narrowed her eyes in suspicion at her sister. "Don't you mean, let ME make this?"

The picture Miya had shown her was a drink. Apparently, it was trending at the moment. And its name was Dolgano Coffee. It was a milk-based drink with a big, soft and foamy cream on top. But what Miya had suggested was to make it with a chocolate malt based (Milo), instead of coffee based, since she doesn't like to drink caffeine. 

Miya shrugged. "You, me… what's the difference?"

Delilah frowned. "What, inDEEd?" she said sarcastically.

Miya then got up from her bed and said, "Alright. I'll go and buy the ingredients while you stay at home and take care of Kael. Don't forget to give him a bath and cook him some 'roti'."

Before Delilah could say anything, her sister had already gone into her bathroom and taken a shower.

Soon after, Miya was already on her way to the supermarket, leaving Delilah to babysit Kael. 

She let him watch his morning cartoons before cooking him 'roti'. Once cooked, she placed his plate of 'roti' and a cup of water in front of him while he watched TV. He was a slow eater as he was easily distracted, laughing and not eating. So, while waiting for him to finish his meal, Delilah went to play her game on her mobile phone. Once in a while, she would scold him to eat.

An hour had passed by but Miya was still not back from her shopping trip. So, Delilah went to give Kael his bath. 

When he was done with his bath, Miya finally came right on time. She then began to unload her grocery and arranged them in the kitchen.

Leaving Kael to watch his TV shows, Delilah went into the kitchen and told her sister to accompany him in the room. She then began her preparations for the dalgona milo.

Firstly, she poured a bit of the milo drink into a large bowl and added in sugar, hot water and some ovalette. She then grabbed a mixer and started to whisk it until it became foamy.

Once done, she grabbed an empty glass and put in some ice cubes and poured some fresh milk. She topped it off with the foam and it was done. 

Looking at the 'masterpiece', she thought to herself that it wasn't that hard. 

She easily made two more for her sister and nephew and carried them with a tray to the living room, where they were watching TV.

Kael was happy since he loved chocolate drinks, especially milo.

Miya snickered. "Easy, huh?"

Delilah scoffed. "Like taking candy from a baby." She then began to drink her dalgona milo. At first, it was sweet, due to the foam at the top. It was creamy, fluffy and smooth. But as she drank more, the milk helped lessen the sweetness and it became even more smooth. It tasted sweet and fresh, overall. The combination of cold milk and the chocolate malt was inDEEd a match in heaven. 

She sighed blissfully. "A perfect drink when one misses going to a coffee shop," she commented to herself.

Life as an HR officer isn't easy. 

Delilah faces everyday struggles like any other office worker, but are they enough to hinder her chance to enjoy life? Thankfully, good food is always there to save the day.

Dragon Palace Home #10.
Iris was focused on recovering from her injuries. Although she wanted to return to work as soon as possible, she also enjoyed spending quality time with Jin Liwei, their godson, cats, and the rest of their families who frequently visited her.
On the first three days after the bomb incident, Jin Liwei didn't go to work and instead stayed with her at home. Iris felt a little worried, so she encouraged him to return to work, knowing how busy Jin Corporation was at the moment. He refused, insisting that he wanted to stay with her and personally take care of her. However, he couldn't abandon the company just like that even for just a few days. Thus, he continued working at home. 
Starting from the fourth day, Iris managed to persuade him that she was feeling much better. He would go to the company and work for half a day. Then in the afternoons, he would come home, eat lunch with her, before continuing to work while taking care of her.
A week after the bomb incident, Iris was in her bedroom suite with Yi Mei who just finished changing her bandages.
Her minor injuries already healed, including the one on her jaw. There was only a thin scab left. The major wounds on her neck and shoulder were still in the process of healing, but at least they were no longer as painful and swollen as before. Iris also felt better overall. However, dark blue and purple bruises still decorated her body. They were very noticeable on her pale skin. Jin Liwei always looked like he wanted to murder someone whenever he saw them.
Yi Mei started organizing the medical kit and discarding the used cottons and bandages. The old housekeeper had insisted on staying at the mansion to take care of Iris. Yi Mei took over treating Iris' wounds and changing her bandages because the housekeeper wasn't satisfied with Jin Liwei's clumsy work.
"Sir Jin, the way you bandage Young Miss isn't neat enough. Harmful bacteria might enter and infect the wounds," Yi Mei told him a few days ago.
Jin Liwei was unwilling at first because he wanted to personally take care of his baby girl but eventually handed over the task to the old housekeeper with great reluctance because he was afraid that her wounds might really become infected because of him.
"Thank you, Yi Mei," Iris said and stood up from the couch while carrying the lazy Ice Cream. Popcorn also jumped down and paced near her feet.
She was about to head outside the suite to walk around the mansion for a light exercise when the door opened, revealing the handsome Jin Liwei in his sharp business suit.
The hyperactive Popcorn shot like an orange cannon towards him while Ice Cream only meowed, too lazy to jump from her mommy's arms to greet her daddy.
"Welcome back," Iris greeted him with a smile.
Jin Liwei's cold expression thawed, returning his baby girl's gentle smile, as he caught Popcorn who was meowing nonstop, asking to be petted.
"I'm home," he said when he reached her before giving a soft kiss on the lips. "How are you feling?"
"Much better."
He nodded, relieved. However, the concern in his eyes was still obvious.
Yi Mei excused herself and left.
"I want to walk around the mansion," Iris announced.
"Alright. Wait for me to change my clothes. I'll accompany you."
"No need, darling. I'll be fine. I know that you still have a lot of work to finish. Ice Cream and Popcorn will accompany me. We'll return here when it's time for lunch."
"Hmm... Wait for me. I'll accompany you," he repeated, already heading to their bedroom to change out of his suit, giving her no room for discussion.
Iris could only sigh, knowing that it was useless to argue with him right now. He would go with her no matter what she told him. Jin Liwei had been like this ever since she got injured in the bomb incident. Wherever she went, be it the walk-in closet, the bathroom or anywhere else, he would be there trailing behind her and making sure that he could always see her with his own eyes.
It took her quite a lot of effort to persuade him to return to work. But even then, he constantly video-called her. If she didn't answer right away, he would immediately raise the alarm at home and order everyone to check up on her to make sure that she was safe and alive.
'It's like he's afraid that I'll disappear if he didn't see me for a few moments.'
Iris felt a little annoyed and helpless by his actions but happiness drowned these feelings. She could really feel him treating her like his most precious treasure in the world. His current actions were still within her acceptable range, especially right now that she was recovering from injuries.
'I'll tell him to back off a little if he continues acting paranoid like this about me even after this danger is resolved,' she decided.
Moments later, Jin Liwei appeared wearing comfortable casual clothing. The couple and their cats then began walking around the mansion.
The already tight security at Dragon Palace Home #10 became even tighter after the bomb incident. Both Jin Liwei and Lu Zihao weren't taking any chances when it came to her safety.
Iris hadn't seen her big brother a lot in these past few days. When she asked where he was, Jin Liwei only briefly told her that both of them were combining their respective resources to investigate the bomb incident and all the hidden perpetrators behind it. The police were moving too slowly for their liking.
The two men were doing all of these for her. Lu Zihao was doing all the outside work while Jin Liwei stayed with her at home to make sure that she was safe.
After hearing what the two were up to, she had to restrain her desire to conduct her own investigation by hacking. She wanted to fix Ketchup so badly so that the two of them could join forces to speed up the process. However, even she was aware of the current state of her body. She needed to recover from her injuries first in order to be in the best state possible when conducting her own investigations. In addition, she didn't want to take too long a break from her showbiz work and also from her companies. Jin Liwei was supposed to be busy at work and so was she.
The couple walked together along the hallways and headed to the indoor forest. Jin Liwei was now carrying the lazy Ice Cream while Popcorn ran all around but still kept pace with them. Iris held onto Jin Liwei's arm while making mental plans of what she needed to do after her body recovered.
There were more security personnel patrolling inside and outside the mansion. The scene was reminiscent of her past life, making her feel a little uncomfortable. If this was before, she would have already complained to both Jin Liwei and Lu Zihao, but now, she held her tongue and forced herself to accept it.
'The danger is not over yet,' her intuition told her.

   They took their luggages,"It was nice to meet you Abhikshith sir. Good bye", said Kruthika while shaking her hand with him, she felt strange while shaking hand but didn't know why. She express her strange feeling on her face but her eyes didn't lie.
   "It was nice  to meet you too Miss. But why did you call me sir which you didn't use it during entire journey. Why now suddenly?", asked Abhikshith leaving her hand after hand shake.
   "I didn't want to be an arrogant co-passenger you have ever seen and you are almost 11 years older than me, sir", said Kruthika pushing her trolly of luggages.
   "Oh! how did you know my age? I'm glad that  atleast I know your age", said Abhikshith.
   "You are a celebrity I've watched your movies and I like your acting too. I like to take a leave now as I'm having loads of work. Bye see you on screen", said Kruthika, who was thinking about home and chores
   "Okay, even I have to get a taxi. Bye", said Abhikshith.
   Kruthika got a taxi and reached her home. All the way she was thinking about state of home. Since she was not there from last 7 days, she thought it might be all filthy. She opened the keys and entered the home, to her surprise she found it the way she left it, everything was clean. 
    She didn't expect this from the guys, she felt overwhelmed by this action from them. She went to her room took a shower and rearranged her closet. She was tired from the long journey as well as starving, she was in no mood to cook food for herself, she ordered pizza ate it watching her favourite web series F.R.I.E.N.D.S.
   She took a quick nap and returned to her daily routine. She took the yoga classes for school children, attended music lessons and cooked dinner, roti and lady's finger sabji.
   Hemanth was the first one to return home, "Hi! when did you come back?", he asked.
   "Today morning, how was your day? How's your research going?", asked Kruthika while she was making rotis.
    "The day was normal. There's nothing new. Research would still take some time. Okay I'll fresh up", said Hemanth and went to his room.
    Kruthika gave agreeable nod and continued her work. Within few minutes Anirudh and Sudeep both returned from work.
  "Whoa! Look who's back! So how was your visit to India?", said Anirudh while he took one of the chair near her.
   "Today morning. It was great. I enjoyed a lot at wedding. And thank you for keeping home clean in my absence", said Kruthika.
   "You are welcome. Thought you would be tired by journey and we didn't wanted to give you more work. By the way it was my idea", said Sudeep raising his collar at last words.
   "Oh really! It was there in everyone's mind to give her less trouble. You might have given the idea but it was me who brought it into action", said Sachin who just came from his work.
   "I would like to thank everyone. Okay, now dinner is ready come and have it", said Kruthika stressing her words. Everyone sat on the dining table were having there food.

    "Yeah that's a good thought. Who's new roommate?"asked Kruthika as she was taking big and quick steps.
    "Do you have any objection with this we can discuss it?", asked Sachin, ignoring the question she asked.
    "Why should I have any objection! I know how hard you all working to save money. And in that case I don't even the pay the rent and bills of home. It's you guys who look after it. I think you have more rights to take such decisions than me", said Kruthika.

Read this novel to find out how did this all happen and what might forget happen to them.

Over the past few days, Lin Che had been reading up on what she had to know about pregnancy. Although she had already been through it once, she was going to be away at work this time. She had basically stayed at home to rest during her previous pregnancy and had not stepped out of the house at all, so there were very few demands she had to comply with as well. But this time, she still had to put on make-up, groom herself and even put on a dress and shoes. She felt that she should read more about what she had to pay attention to.
Everyone also knew that Lin Che's movie was about to be released. This was because, before the release of the movie, word had spread that she was most likely going to join the line-up for the Best Female Lead at the Golden Name Awards. As a result, everyone was looking forward immensely to her movie.
However, after the new year celebrations, the last episode of the reality show was broadcast first.
The viewer ratings of the reality show were continuously breaking new records. On the last day, everyone attended the gathering together and had a party to celebrate the ratings. The company had arranged a special program to close the season. For the next episode, they would produce a special program to recap the previous episodes and to take the opportunity to promote the next season of the show.
Everything seemed to be proceeding very smoothly. However, when Lin Che thought of the fact that the movie was about to be released and that this was her first movie after her comeback, she felt very nervous as well.
Just then, Yu Minmin suddenly called to say that she had just returned from her vacation.
Over the past few days, Yu Minmin's emotions had been unstable due to her pregnancy. Gu Jingming had therefore taken her abroad for a vacation. They had just returned after spending the new year overseas.
But their family members had not said anything either. After all, there was nothing others could say about the two of them wanting to have the world only to themselves.
The moment Yu Minmin returned, she rushed directly to the Gu residence.
Hearing that Yu Minmin was here, Lin Che frantically went out to pick her up.
Yu Minmin's belly had already grown and she could not hide it even if she wanted to. She was dressed in much baggier clothes and after making her entrance, she looked slightly more plump as well. However, her skin remained as fair and soft as before. Her complexion looked extremely healthy.
When she saw Yu Minmin, Lin Che could not help but tease, "What's going on? Did Mr. President finally agree to let you out?"
Yu Minmin pursed her lips, smiled and looked at Lin Che. "I heard that you were pregnant while I was overseas. Wow, not bad. It looks like you guys are quite efficient. You got pregnant in such a short time?"
Lin Che curled her lip and looked at her. The two of them had not met for a very long time. They were very touchy with each other at the moment as they quickly returned to the living room inside to chat.
The maid made them tea that was beneficial to pregnant women. Yu Minmin looked at her stomach. "You're still at an early stage of pregnancy. Do you still have to attend promotional events as planned?"
"Yes. The director told me that he would arrange fewer events, but there are several important ones that I still have to attend."
"Alright then. That would be good too. You won't be at a late stage of pregnancy when the Golden Name Awards begin. You can attend it to receive your award."
"Dear me. Receive what award? We don't even know for sure whether I'll get it or not," Lin Che said.
Yu Minmin said, "Anyway, we'll leave it to destiny when the time comes. What's the point of thinking so much now?"
Lin Che looked at her stomach and raised her eyebrows. "Have you checked if it's a boy or a girl?"
Yu Minmin touched her stomach. "It's a boy… I just checked."
"Really? Congratulations, congratulations. You're going to have another rascal in the house…"
While they also did not care about whether it was a boy or a girl, they were still curious.
Yu Minmin said, "That's actually alright. Gu Jingming likes boys. He thinks that we are too busy to properly take care of a girl but we can just let a boy grow up on their own."
Lin Che said, "I think that Mr. President will definitely be a good father."
Yu Minmin smiled slightly as well. In reality, she felt the same way too.
Simply based on how careful he was whenever something happened to her, she knew that he was a very meticulous man. He would probably be very meticulous towards his children if he became a father in the future.
Lin Che asked, "So are you also allowed to be out and about now? Did Mr. President give you permission?"
Yu Minmin said, "It has been so many months. How can he stop me from going out… you can't expect me to be stifled to death during these ten months."
Lin Che chuckled. "If you don't say anything, I reckon Mr. President will force you to stay inside for ten months."
"He's too anxious. But he has already agreed to let me go out and work now. I'll go back to the company in a few days to take a look. If you have any work on hand, remember to throw it to me."
She really felt that she was going to grow fur from staying at home. She also felt that she was turning a little stupid from staying at home.
Therefore, Yu Minmin urgently wanted to go back to work as well.
Lin Che sighed. "You really can't stay put. Can't you just be a proper first lady? Telling us to allocate work to you… will we get beaten up by Mr. President?"
"Of course not." Yu Minmin continued, "I was so naive back then too. When I had been ridiculously busy in the past, I always thought that it would be great if I could marry a wealthy man one day. I could stay at home every day and be a rich madam without having to do anything… I never thought that I would actually marry a wealthy man one day."
"Hn. And he's not just a wealthy man. He's extremely wealthy…" Lin Che said.
Yu Minmin said, "Precisely… it's like a fantasy too. But after actually staying at home now, I think that I'm really not cut out for that kind of life. I still want to work… I stayed at home to the point where I felt that I was no longer a person but an animal. Seriously. Don't you think someone like me has a problem?"
Lin Che laughed out loud and said, "So, Gu Jingming felt that your emotions were out of control before this because you were always talking like this?"
Before this, Gu Jingming had wanted her to stay at home and rest up more, so he freed up a lot of his time to stay at home and accompany her but Yu Minmin's mood remained consistently down.
Gu Jingming had no choice but to bring Yu Minmin abroad. While they were overseas, Yu Minmin discussed the matter with Gu Jingming. Gu Jingming felt that her happiness was the most important, so he agreed to let her go back to work.
Just as expected, people like them just could not stay put. When she heard that she could return to work, any negative emotions that Yu Minmin had were completely dispelled and she returned with a lively spirit.
Gu Jingming had no choice but to agree…
But he doubled the number of presidential guards allocated to Yu Minmin.
Yu Minmin said, "Although I'm back, it's still better to let Abby be your manager first. Otherwise, a pregnant woman being the manager of another pregnant woman would only make every one die from laughter if they saw us outside."
"Sure. It doesn't matter who my manager is. We can still discuss things together."
"Of course. The timing of your movie release this time is very good. Abby doesn't have much experience in generating publicity. It's better for me to take over. Before the movie is released, I will help you arrange the necessary promotional events and try to work out something with the closing episode of your reality show. When the time comes, we can definitely bring in some box office results."
As expected, Yu Minmin immediately got happy and excited when she talked about work.
The two of them discussed in the living room for the entire afternoon. They discussed everything from the name list of the people attending the Golden Name Awards and the status of their competitors to publicity for the movie, and their future work arrangements.
However, they also knew that once Lin Che's belly swelled, she would have to disappear from the screens for some time. She would only be able to go out and work again after giving birth.


Wealthy, powerful and handsome; Gu Jingze is the cream of the crop in the entire country. Every guy wants to be him and every girl wants to be with him. His life is perfect... except that he has one tiny secret that keeps him from getting close to any woman—apparent impotency.

That is, until he wakes up in bed with a total stranger one day. The next thing he knows, he is forced to marry this stranger; a feisty and boisterous woman by the name of Lin Che. 

Lin Che is an average girl whose only aim is to become a successful actress. Ostracized by her family and forced to become independent, she cooks up a scheme to attain her goal. But her plan fails and she ends up marrying this cold and seemingly heartless Gu Jingze. Not only that, she must now find her place in high society, where jealous women and devious plots lay abound - all while juggling her new career.  

Two strangers under one roof: From the outset, they agree to stay out of each other’s lives, but he somehow always manages to appear during her moments of crisis. Slowly and unwittingly, Lin Che begins to find it difficult to imagine a future without him. Will their relationship grow, or is their marriage destined to remain just a contract?

The man stood silently near the sink. "There's no need for you to prove yourself. I know it but …"

"But what?" The lady waited for a second and finished it for him. "You don't want me to work."

The man deeply sighed. "Please, Gabina. We're getting married soon. Just stay at home, let me work and hand my pay to you." His eyes pleading her.

"Please let me, Hakoon. I beg you." She didn't avert her eyes from him. This was her heart's desire since young. Her mother was left at home and she saw her loneliness when her father didn't come home for days. What's disheartening was when another person came and told them her father left them with another woman.

Their peaceful life was shattered. From then on, she decided to earn her way and not to rely on any man or her husband. "Please, let me work."

"Excuse me, I'm the new head chef here." Ronjon came in between them.

"Part-time," said Hakoon disdainfully.

"Yeah, part-time, but I'll sure be the one ordering here for a week and not you. So be patient until Uncle pass the authority to you."

Ronjon faced the girl. "You are?" 

"Gabina?" Hakoon grabbed her hand and shook his head.

Gabina focused her eyes on the new Head Chef. "I'm Gabina. I'm Hakoon's fiancee. Please, Sir Ronjon, please allow me to cook here. Any amount of salary will do as long as I'm working and receiving pay."

"Baba won't allow, Gabina." Rathna interfered.

"He already said yes. Only Hakoon won't allow me."

"Wait! Both of you are lovers?" Ronjon missed the word 'married' earlier.

"Yes, we'll be marrying three months from now," said Hakoon.

"But I want to work, Sir Ronjon. Please, let me."

"Honestly, I'm not against women working. Asha here is even planning to be a certified lady chef. And girls are skillful too, so I don't mind at all."

"I never doubted her cooking but I won't agree for her to work. I want her to stay at home, to look after our home and our kids someday."

"I think Uncle has a say to this." Ronjon scratched his head.

"Gabina, please obey me," Hakoon insisted, but she looked away.

"What's the commotion here?" Ronjon's Uncle came in with his wife, Malabika.

"You allowed me to work here, Uncle Taajwar," Gabina said it as a statement.

"Yes, I did, so what's the problem?"

"Hakoon prevented me. Please, I want to work."

Taajwar shyly looked at the three guests and fixed to Ronjon. "Sorry for the commotion. Hakoon is my nephew and he is the person I want you to teach before they wed."

"Can I decide a solution to this problem, Uncle?" Ronjon had an idea.

"Of course, go ahead."

"Hakoon, if you really acknowledge her skill then I'll let her. But …" His palm facing Hakoon, telling to wait, "she must convince me first."

"How?" Both spoke altogether.

"We'll make a competition. Asha and Gabina will cook against you and your assistant." He expressed his words to Hakoon.

He faced both of them. "Gabina, if you lose, obey Hakoon. If she wins against you, you'll let her work without any complaint even after marriage. Got that?" 

"Why include Asha?" Rathna was confused.

"This to prove to everyone here and to the villagers that women are skillful too and must have the freedom to work alongside their husband, whoever they are."

"If Asha loses?' Monojit concerned himself for Asha's reputation.

"This is for her practice. If she loses, it will be her shame. But I doubt she'll lose. Right, Asha?" He winked at her.

"Well … I'll try." She half-smiled while cursing Ronjon in her mind.

"Okay, you plan today and tomorrow, the competition starts outside the Inn, as an advertisement. Okay, Uncle?" Hakoon was still doubtful but he had no authority in the matter. Gabina was silently thanking Ronjon for a chance. 

"That's a good solution, Ronjon." Aunt Malabika looked at them with a knowing smile.

When everyone was away from earshot, Monojit grabbed Ronjon's collar. "What's this all about? Just for business ads while Asha's reputation is at stake?"

"Totally nothing against her, and simply for fun." Ronjon pulled the other man's hand off him and ironed the crumpled shirt with his palms.

"Fun?"

"Yes, whatsoever the outcome, this will be good to them. Asha needs to be serious to come up her own signature dishes. The couple has to face reality, one way or another, and accept the result with lesser struggles."

"Oh, never thought of that. Sorry, just got carried away. You know me if it's all about Asha ..." Monojit showed a timid smile, ashamed.

"Just wait and see the kind of dish Asha will present. I trust her." Ronjon slowly walked out and as he reached the door, he looked back. "By the way, let's open our rivalry again. At stake, Asha's hand in marriage." Using his two fingers, he pretended shooting Monojit and blew the imaginary smoke from his fingers. "And I'll win this time."

Asha is now on the brink of helplessness and despair. Would she let despair to chase her for the rest of her life? Thus, she faces the man who wanted her dead and to stand as a woman in the world of chefs. 

She will create her own dishes and make his father's recipes alive again. Her adventures lead to clues of the real killer of his father and get entangles with love. 

Somehow, when she is face to face with the murderer, will she forgive or not? The Recipe of Love will show her the right decision to make.

This is a story of a girl in her journey to become a lady chef while in life-threatening situations and falls in love. So, don't expect a fast pace cooking battles. It is Asha's journey.

The setting of the story is India before its Independence in 1947. The exact timeline is 1945. However, in the first part of the story, I didn't use during the British occupation since the places/villages I mentioned do not exist in the present country. I used Bangla words since the culture is more on present Bangladesh. 

This is absolutely a fiction story.

If you have questions about the culture, please ask me in the comment and I'll try to explain things to you. I can't write the culture within the story for that will bore you to death. Most are written in the Author's Thoughts.

Caren :"But if you too focus on your work you'll have no social life, so when will you get married ? I heard your cousin Yua will get married next year."
Candy :"Let Yua get married, don't worry about my life. I still want to achieved something with my life mom."

Candy :"OK it's deal ! But don't tell me I should go home every week end ! How can I have my own social life ?"
Josh :"OK as you wish, you may go home whenever you want, it doesn't have to be on the week end."
Candy :"OK, I'll go home anytime I want to."

Being pampered too much by the parents was not a good thing. Candy Wu had been disciplined by her dad the most, to be an independent and mature woman. Though she was the apple of her dad's but she had treated to achieved something first before she got what she want. She had grown into a strong will person and she wanted to chase her own dream, she didn't want to continue her dad's works. But her dad was worry for her to live too independent, that's why he arranged her to get married, but she refused his chosen man. So they made a deal within six months she had to had a fiancee on her own, if not she had to agreed with her dad chosen.
Meanwhile Hanson Jang had grown up to be an independent young businessman, he had built his own advertising company. He stayed  single all this year because deep down in his heart still waiting a little girl in his childhood, who caught his heart. But his mom couldn't wait any longer, so she had arranged him some blind dates. One day Hanson had an idea to stop the blind dates.

She completed her education with prize money and endowments from society. In school, she was brilliant one, first in everything either sports, curricular activities or study. 
                        She never paid her fees. All the teachers decided to pay her fees by seeing her intelligence and hard work. Books were also arranged by her teachers from old students. Seema has only one duty to just study hard for her teachers.
                              Her mother was doing work in others houses for earnings and she did all the work of her home. There were four cows and their calves. To bring fodder for them all was Seema's responsibility. She used to go to field after coming from school and then completes all chores of home. 
                            Then she starts her studies. Her mother prepares food after coming home. 
They both had their dinner together. This was their daily routine. Seema has completed her school education achieving the place of state topper. She was awarded and given scholarship to study free for her college education. Her hard work had brought fortune to her. Both mother and daughter were very delighted. 
                            With her college, she started teaching in an academy. She was given fifteen thousand per month. Now her mother left the job of maid. She started to stay at home. Seema joined NCC at college. From here her dream for defence officer aroused. She attends class, parade and also goes to academy.
                      Her performance in NCC exercises was also remarkable. She was best among her batchmates. She was best in all fields. But after all that she had no friend. She had only her mother. She was first among classmates in all her exams. Her preparations was also going on well for CAPF. Final year of bachelor come, she was eagerly waiting for appearing in exam for defence officer. She applied for it and increased her preparations.
                                 Her college exams had also come. After completing her house exams she was free to prepare for the next exam for about two months. That were enough for her to do all revisions. Side by side she was going to academy for teaching students. This had also helped her lot to better her preparations. 
                          The day of wriiten exam had come. She had to reach Chandigarh for the exam. Her mother made kheer that day to sweeten her mouth before appearing for the battle she had dreamed to win. Seema took blessings from her mother before leaving for the journey. Her mother was her only God. She left for Chandigarh.
                     She appeared in examination and had attempted paper with full confidence. There was a little smile on her face when she left the examination hall. She reached home back and hugs her mother tightly. " Exam has gone awesome mother I will definitely clear it" she was saying to her mother.
                               Her result of college examination had come, she had cleared them with University topper. She was again awarded in the convocation ceremony. She was full of positive energy as finally all was going good in her life. The day of her CAPF result has come and she was broken with the outcome. She had not cleared it. Tears were falling from her eyes, she was seeming weak first time in her life. " You are champion my girl. You can't behave like others after just a failure. You will definitely crack the exam next time. Now get up, we are going to cinema" her mother said to her.
              That was the first day they were going somewhere to enjoy for. Her mother has bought new dress for both. They both got ready and left for enjoyment. That day they enjoyed a lot. After seeing movie, they went to a restaurant and had a fine meal there. Then they returned to home. Mother started singing lullaby, Seema laid down in her lap and slept. Next day was a new one for Seema as she was starting her journey with more enthusiasm and strong determination.

Ella's POV ✨
"Foods were tasty..." I said Suzi wiping my mouth with tissue paper.
"Thank you" she said and got up from her chair.
Suzi really had cooked the food so well. Simple but tasting so good. Rice, vegetables, chips, pickle, pulses..she managed to cook all this after returning from her work. In case of me I feel so tired when I return back from my work so tired  that I even find it difficult to drink water from tap. 
But Suzi who seem to be in late twenties of her age is so energetic. "Be ashamed of yourself Ella" I cursed inside.
"Here..." Suzi handed me a paper bag.
"What's this?" I said in hesitation taking the bag from her hand.
"Told you I have baked extra cookies so this is for you" she said and started to pick the dishes from her table 
"Actually you don't have to.."
"Uh! It's alright..." she said and walked towards washbasin.
"Let me help you with the dishes" I said, keeping the bag on the table and walking towards her "It's alright dear. I will do the dishes" she refused my proposal, "Come on Suzi… Let me help. Please give me a chance to return your favor. You do so much for me" I said, trying to stand by her side.
"Okay then, I will do the dishes you please clean the table then. Is that okay?" She said.
"Yeah.. Perfect" I gave her a thumbs up" and started to clean the table.
Suzi's apartment was slightly big from mine, but it was somewhat same to mine because the like mine apartment she had bedroom and kitchen in the one room only. But I should admit it that her place was lot more clean and alive than mine. 
Things were kept in proper place. Clothes were folded neatly and placed on the rage. Floor was clean no sign of dirt and dust. Comparing to my room where you will see only canvas everywhere floor hardly being swept. And let's not talk about things and clothes. You can picture it yourself… But I was not that before it is just that my past had ruined me.
"Suzi how do you manage all this?" I asked rubbing the table with a cloth.
"Manage what?" she said, keeping the washed dishes on a basket.
"Your work and your home… I mean how to do you do it keeping the home clean, coming back from work cooking varieties of items, baking the cookies…" I said.
"Have you heard, 'Where there is a will there is a way'?" she asked.
"Yeah..." I said in a controlled tone.
"So if there is a will in your heart you can do anything. Anything is possible. Also, you see keep your home clean and automatically you will have peaceful heart. With peaceful heart you can do many things in one, minute. If you do one thing in one, minute then..."
"Then you will be able to be another Suzi..." I interrupted her.
"Yeah, that's my girl" she turned towards me smiled and winked. Suzi is teaching me so many things today.
She then got back to her work. I sat on the chair looked around and said "Suzi…can I ask you a question?"
"Yeah, sure go for it" she said, wiping her wet hand on the towel. She came towards me and sat beside me.
"Why do you live here?" I asked.
She laughed "It is my home dear. People to live on their home right?"
"Yeah, but I mean...you earn well why do you have to live in this small apartment. You can afford a better apartment having better facilities" I said.
"Um… Yeah, you are right but the thing is I believe in "Down to earth" proverbs. You see no matter how much you earn but you should never forget where you came from. I can afford better place than this instead of wasting my money in expensive lifestyle, I spend most of my income in needy people. I don't want them living my past life. Also, I just love this place" she said, leaning back comfortable on her chair.
(✨✨✨✨)
I placed the cookies bag on the table beside bread bag. I plonked on my bed and looked around. Really my room was a mess. Things scattered everywhere. Trashes around dustbin. I bet that dustbin is truly empty.
I remembered all the things said by Suzi. I don't know why but Today, her each and every word got straight to my heart. Somehow I now have started to agree with her which I never did before.
I placed my hand on my bed. My hand falls on the canvas. I opened it and still I couldn't understand it like a pervious canvas. I really have no idea. Only the part I could understand is the stars, and this canvas has moon. And at the bottom line there is two alphabets.
"LU" what does that mean? Every canvas has an alphabet like this just two alphabets which I really couldn't understand. I feel like burning all the canvas, but I am artist right I cannot do that. No matter how furious I am I can never destroy other creation.
I placed the canvas under the bed with other three canvas. I sat back on my bed and took a look to my room again. Somehow I got a deep urge of cleaning the mess. I got up and tied my shoulder-length hair into ponytail. I grabbed the broom and started my work. This was the first time since I came here and was cleaning my room.
Finally after two hours I completed the cleaning. I lied on my bed so tired. Suzi was right clean home did give a peaceful heart. And I have more delighted heart because I created a place for my Canvas near the window of my room. Now I could paint peacefully.
