Chapter Thirty-six

Madison pov

I sighed as began to feel the pangs of a painful migraine that was quickly heading my way. So I decided to save my progress on my laptop to rest my head and eyes for for a while when i also painfully remembered that I haven't eaten anything this morning except for the red apples and water I had taken as soon as I woke up before quickly getting right to my work.

I have been walking vigorously on new designs for my Madi's choice for the " Fall season" that was first approaching, and my employees were counting on me not to disappoint and neither do I intend to.

There was also the determination not to come second to Terumi's this time, which happens a lot. So yeah, that was it. It wasn't that I was trying to distract myself or keep myself busy or anything, i am just an ambitious and driven young Ceo who - Oh my God what was that noise? It sounded so obscene and oddly familiar at the same time..... Wait! Was that.... the noise came again and I looked around before finally realizing that it was my stomach growling in hunger. No wonder it sounded so familiar, and very very hungry.

Painfully, i managed to reach out for my phone to check what time it was, only to gasp really loudly on seeing what the time had to say for itself. 2:30 p.m. it was already noon? Ugh!! It was getting late and I didn't even have breakfast, not to talk of having lunch. But the problem now was that I was feeling too lazy to get up from this comfortable position I was, to go look for something to eat.

There was also the problem that I might really faint before even getting to the kitchen due to the migraine I was battling with and -Oh! I could try to order food but it would also involve me getting up and I really don't want to.

Oh what is such tragic situation I find myself in. Soon I was faced with making this the decision of whether I was going to stand up to look for something to eat or just lay here conveniently with my growling tummy and maybe later, fall asleep...in death while waiting for my body to be discovered. I was honestly going to settle down with the latter when....

"Madison? "A voice called and knocks resounded on my door at the same time, making me grunt in happiness. I was finally saved by -whoever that could be. Since the possibility of me getting food and help could be through that person. I managed to stand up -very slowly- and walk - very slowly- and tiredly to the door to open it.

"Caramel? " I asked tiredly, squinting my eyes due to the headache and also because of the brightness of the outside world my room's lightning was thoroughly dimmed except for the little bedside lamp and my laptop screen light.

" You look dead on your feet" She said bluntly. And if not for the unfortunate migraine I was currently busy with, I would have given her the biggest eyeroll and meanest glare of the century but instead, I found myself certain with a very dry..."gee, thanks..... a lot. " and then, i noticed the small food tray she was holding and out of it, came a very nice aroma

"What's this? "I asked, my attention completely focused on the tray.

"Oh this? Nothing much really. Just some snacks and warm milk i brought for y-" The tray was snatched from her hands by your's truly in hungry delight before she even finished talking. Seeing food was enough to do that to me. Even my migraine isn't as serious as it was before because part of my problems has been solved.

Taking a precious moment to perfectly inhale the sweet, sweet smell of goodness and deliciousness, i was about going into my room to start wolfing it down when my tray was snatched ruthlessly out of my hands.

"Hey! What gives? "I raged, glaring hard at the unrepentant culprit with all the hungry anger i felt but Caramel wasn't fazed one bit.

"I'm sorry but i was asked to not just give you this, but also lure you out from the death hole you call a room. You've been in here for days now, and you really really look like an half dead plant who is barely surviving and slowly writhing away because it didn't get the appropriate things needed for it's survival. And in your case...well we don't know but we'll start somewhere first. So if you really want to eat, this tray will be waiting for you..... in the kitchen. Good day. " Then she courageously walked out of my sight with my hope of survival in her hands, never once looking b as she left after she had finished her sermon.

This was very outrageous! And it wasn't fair at all! So i can't decide where i want to eat my food again?? I would have loved to prove sturbbon, trust me. But my stomach and my head clearly did not agree with me, so i had no choice to follow her albeit reluctantly.

I soon got to the kitchen after many painful sluggish steps and glared at Caramel as harshly as i could -as my situation allowed.

"Look who decided to leave her hole!! " she exclaimed in mock-surprise but i paid her no mind and stretched out my hands expectantly with only one request..."Tray. "

"Okay, okay geez. Here you go...", she handed me my tray. "Just take care not to eat like a pig. "

If i heard her, I ignored her and focused on wolfing down my food instead.

"Hurry up and freshen yourself when you are done. We're going out. " that was very unexpected. "why? Where? "My mouth was full as i asked the question and she grimaced in disgust at what i did but i ignored her again. I was more curious than worried about what she was thinking of me right now.

"We're going for a small picnic at the park near the river -and no! You can't say no. It is not allowed." she quickly added when she saw me open my mouth, probably to protest and she wasn't wrong, because i really wanted to.

I still had work to do and i'm not sure if i have the time to take out time for any relaxation of any sort but this looked like something that won't be easy to get out of so easily, and neither do i want to anger Caramel either -to avoid my tray being taken from me again. So i just nodded my head in reluctant acceptance and went back to eating my food.

"Good. Let me start packing things we will need. Kate and Hannah promised to meet us there, so we shouldn't take too much time." She said and got up to get to her task right away while i just nodded my head and continued stuffing my face. It may not really be so bad if Kate and Hannah decides to join us. I only pray i get through their -very possible interrogation concerning my behavior since i got home from Chicago last week - unscathed.
