CHAPTER SIXTEEN : I Think You're In Trouble
It was weekends and Lydia is still in bed. She'll not be going to work. Today is her day. she will spend it with her boys. Thinking about them, Jim and Kim came running to her room. They pounced on her Greeting her a good morning.
"Good morning my darlings." She sat them down on her lap giving them a gentle peck on their cheeks.
"Mommy, we misses grandma." said Kim
"Yes Mama, we want to talk with her. "Jim added
"Oh" She has forgotten to call Mama Zimbi last night. She dialled her line. The boys snatched the phone and dashed out of the room. Lydia was baffled by their acts. They just wanted the mobile phone for their personal interest.
She was about to get out of bed when they came back with the phone with an incoming call. Who could it be? After answering the call, she immediately jumped off the bed and accelerated towards the bathroom. The boys happily took back the phone and left the room.
She came out running within fifteen minutes. She quickly dressed up and took her shoulder bag and run out of her bedroom. She bumped herself into Maria in the living room who was by then serving the boys breakfast. This resulted them in spilling the hot chocolate.
"Oh my God Lydia! Why are you in a hurry. What if you get hurt?
"I'm so sorry." She sipped the remaining chocolate.
"Ouch! " She placed the mug back onto the tray and walked to where her shoes were hidden. ( Hidden from the kids. Lol ).
" Why didn't you tell me it hot?"She complained while putting on her sneakers with one foot to support herself. At that moment, she was hopping, trying to balance herself. After that, she rushed to the living room and blew kisses to her kids and ran off.The boys giggled at their mother and focused their attention back to the cartoon video on the phone.
Maria on the other hand, folded her arms across her chest. She could only shake her head at her clumsiness "Hey heroes, time for breakfast. Only her work could get her worked up that way." They giggled.

~ JADE PARADISE ~
In a beautiful luxurious spacious room. So big and it's stuffed with edible fruits and vegetables, utensils..whatever. It's a damn kitchen. One in a million.
The atmosophere in the kitchen was suffocating. The workers, ( cooks) were all tensed. A woman in her early thirties barged into the kitchen with a murderous gaze. If looks could kill, then the chefs would have been dead by now.
The chefs in the kitchen were all in a dilemma. Even the cordon bleu (An award given chef or a skillful chef). This new comer has placed them all into hell and she wasn't even there to face it herself.
"Where is Lydia!? When she gets here, alert me immediately." The woman said and left as soon as her sentence ended. Even she seems to be in the same dilemma too.
What exactly has our Lydia done this time?
The head chef, Master Xi's face darkened. "Call that little brat and find out where she is. Now!" He said directly to Mia, the fat girl among them. "Yes...yes I'll call her right away." She said, leaving the kitchen to get her personal phone.
She ran into Lydia in the employee's locker room."Thank God you're here Lydia what have you done this time I think you are trouble." She said in one go.
"Mia this is not the time for explanation, I'll tell you everything after I fix everything okay bye." She scooted away. She thought she was doing him a favour by serving him even though it wasn't the principle of the restaurant to work past work hours. Now because of him they'll know that she has broken one of the rules yet again.
"Why is he even here requesting for the same dishes I made for him the other night, who exactly is he? This might be my chance to prove myself. As for him, I'll deal with him later. Ugh." She scoffed mischievously.
