Sick (3)

Valentina happily relaxed in the tub as she soaked in the hot water. She took her time scrubbing her body and washing her hair with Kaiser's soap and shampoo. Once her body felt clean again, she carefully got out and wrapped her body with a fluffy towel.

"Kaiser?" Valentina called out as she stepped out of the bathroom while glancing around the bedroom. It was a much larger space than hers with black being the predominant color in all the furniture.

On the large bed, was a fluffy white robe. Shrugging, Valentina quickly put the oversized robe on before walking out. As she opened the door, she caught sight of Kaiser leaning against the wall. Seeing her, he held out his arm and she reluctantly held it. Her legs still felt a bit shaky, and she didn't want to fall.

"Finished?"

"Mmm yeah. I feel refreshed."

"Come lay down then. I'll bring you breakfast." Kaiser gently led her back to her room. Valentina quietly followed Kaiser as he led her back to her room.

She carefully lay back in the bed, noting that Luca was no longer there.

"Stay here while I go get you food okay?"

"Okay." Valentina nodded.

As soon as Kaiser left, she comfortably lay down on the bed feeling her eyes begin to droop. Before she knew it, she was fast asleep.

When she woke up again, the sun was at a lower point as it shone through her window. After her nap, her head and body felt much better although she was now feeling a bit hungry.

She slowly sat up, removing the towel that was placed on her forehead. Turning to the side, she saw that Kaiser was staring at her in a contemplative manner. He was still dressed in his suit and looked a bit disheveled.

"Good morning." She gave him a bright smile.

Seeing her smile, Kaiser let out a deep sigh.

"Valentina," he called her name seriously.

"Yes?"

"I need you to eat something. Literally anything. Otherwise, I'll take you to the hospital even if you're kicking and screaming." Kaiser told her in a firm voice. Although his tone was cold, she could see the concern in his eyes and his face looked a bit tense.

"Okay. I'm feeling a bit hungry." She replied with a smile.

"Good. What do you want to eat? There's porridge on the stove and I can get you anything else after you've eaten some of that."

"Spicy fried fast-food chicken. The spicier the better." Valentina immediately replied. For some reason, she was craving the heat of fast-food spicy chicken. Living at the Grayson house, she never got the chance to order out since all the meals were prepared by the chef and she didn't know how to get food delivered to the house. As someone who was used to cooking her own meals and ordering out, she wanted something greasy and bad for her.

"…I don't think you should be eating that especially after just waking up after a while," Kaiser told her incredulously.

"But that's what I want to eat. Soy garlic and spicy wings from Bonchon. Sesame ginger salad as well with extra pickled radishes and garlic parmesan fries. Ah, and a cold beer too, please. Guinness is best." She happily gave him her order. Since she had been eating relatively healthily to maintain Valentina's body, she wanted to really enjoy her meal now that she felt better.

Kaiser: "..."

Seeing as he just stared at her, she started to get up.

"If you don't want to order it for me, I can just do it myself. How do I get food delivered here? Also, where's my phone?"

As she immediately began to try to get up, Kaiser sighed again before getting up.

"Just sit Valentina. I'll go bring up some porridge and put the food order in for you. And you better stay awake. If you fall asleep again, I'll immediately drag you to the hospital." Kaiser threatened.

"Got it. Thanks." Valentina flippantly replied while rolling her eyes. She began to get up again, ignoring the frown on his face.

"I thought I told you to sit." He crankily told her.

"Do I look like a dog? I need to pee." She rolled her eyes once more before getting up and stretching. Seeing that he was silent, she smirked at him.

"Now, get out of my room. I need to use the bathroom and change. When I'm done I'll come downstairs to eat. You take the opportunity to shower and change as well. You look a mess."

Kaiser: "…" Which one of them looked like a mess? Even though she looked better than before, if a stiff wind blew, she would definitely fall over. Even if she was an actress, was there any need to be so frail? He definitely needed to fatten her up some.

"I feel like you're thinking something really disrespectful right now. Get out." Valentina glared at him before she began shoving his back. Of course, he didn't move.

"Kaiser. Out." She ordered once more.

"Which one of us is a dog now?" he murmured with a small laugh.

"What did you say?"

"If you fall asleep again. Straight to the hospital. You have 30 minutes." He glanced down at her before smirking. Seeing that she began pouting, he laughed once more before patting her head like a child.

"I'm glad you're feeling better Valentina." Kaiser smiled at her before slowly walking to the door. As he was about to leave he heard a soft voice calling his name.

"Kaiser?"

"Hmm?"

"Thanks for watching over me. Sorry, you had to miss work." Kaiser turned and saw the slightly embarrassed expression on Valentina's face.

"I'd say anytime but I'd really rather you didn't get so sick. Please take care of yourself. Go get checked out at the hospital if you need to. Consider it an employee benefit."

"…got it" Valentina reluctantly replied.

"And remember what I said. If you fall asleep, straight to the hos-"

"I got it. I got it! Get out!" Valentina shouted before slamming the door.

Hearing his loud laugh, she really wanted to go out and beat him up. Instead, she quickly went to shower and change.

Somehow, she didn't think he was joking when he said he would drag her kicking and screaming to the hospital.
