She turned around and found him on the stairs, standing and staring at her.

She wouldn’t deny it – that for a moment, she flinched.

“You’re late” his grumpy voice said.

“I’m not. Your gateman took forever to open the gate for me” she answered sharply, taking a step closer.

Jericho exhaled lightly and turned around, taking the stairs and Valerie figured she had to follow him. So, she did.

And walked slowly behind him, but she noticed he wasn’t taking her to his room, but a different direction.

“Where are you taking me?” She wanted to ask, but restricted herself.
Wherever it was, she was sure itd be somewhere safe.

Finally, they got to a room and Valerie discovered it was a kitchen. O…kay; Why’s he bringing her here? Did he discover she was actually hungry?

“I need you to make me breakfast. Beef stew. There are some beef in the…”

“Hold on; Whaat??” Valerie couldn’t help but cut him off with a scoff.

“I don’t cook. I mean, I can’t cook”.

Jericho turned to look at her.

“Thar should be your problem,Miss. This is your first test and if you fail it, you’re getting out of my house – for good. But if you’re able to pass it,your chances continues”. He said blatantly.

“No, you can’t possibly be serious. I can’t…”

“You have 80 minutes” he looked at his watch and said, then walked out of the room.

Valerie was dumbfounded and numb. Was he joking? Or he was actually being serious??

Cooking has never been her thing; the only thing she’s handled on the fire was drinking water. How could she possibly…

Goodness!

She dropped her bag on the floor and placed her hands on her waist. She needed to do something. The clock was ticking.

She brought her phone out of her bag and dialed Sally’s number, but she wasn’t picking up. Oh! Damn it!

She dialed and dialed repeatedly and finally, she picked at the last beep

“Damn it, Sally! Where the hell did you dump your phone?” She snapped.

“Hey,chill down babe. I was in the bathroom. What’s up…”

“Listen, I’m in a crazy mess, right now. I’m at Jericho’s house and he’s asking me to make some stupid meal for him – beef stew!”

“What?” Sally shirked. “Are you being serious? Why would he do that?”

“Well, that’s because he’s a jerk!” Valerie snarled and paused, taking a deep breath.

“According to him, I have just 80 minutes to round up the meal. So, I really need your help, Sally. Please. Just…send me whatever you can” she continued in a lower tone.

“Um…Okay. I’ll just text the recipe and preparations to you. But for now, you can start by cooking the beef”. Sally replied.

“The beef? And how will I do that?”.

“It isn’t difficult, Val. All you have to do is chop the beef into reasonable size like the ones you normally eat at home, wash it, put it in a pot,add some ingredients and boil”.

“Goodness! That sounds like gibberish to me, Sally”.

“You just have to give it a try, bae. I’ll text you the rest of the recipe right away”

And the call ended.

Valerie itched her hair and dropped the phone on the table. Where does she start from, huh?

The kitchen was quite big and looked really stocked. But it doesn’t mean she was ready to cook! Damn it! This guy was really a jerk and she was definitely going to have her revenge with the slightest opportunity she gets.

She opened the fridge and saw the bowl of beef and with a crumpled look, she pulled it out.

She placed it on the table and took out a knife, cutting it into smaller pieces. She was as slow as careful as she could be in order to avoid hurting herself, and in the end, she was successful.

Well, you wouldn’t really blame her. Her mother waa the type that never cooked but left everything in the hands of the maids. So, how exactly was the daughter meant to cook?

Besides, she hated stress and anything partaining to it and since Valerie grew up to be a spoilt br@t, she was always away from it.

By the time she was done with the beef, the text had already come in from Sally. Thankfully.

She used the recipe and guideline from the text and hoped she was doing the right thing…

Despite the fact it was her first time handling the kitchen and she completely had no idea of what she was doing, Valerie could swear she could hardly breathe due to the aroma clouding the kitchen.

For God’s sake!! It was overwhelming!

“Hmm” she closed her eyes and moaned in ecstasy after having a taste of the thick slurpy stew. Damn it! How could her hands be so blessed for the first time?
It was an enigma to her.

Without further hesitation, she turned off the gas and took out a plate to dish it out. Hopefully, she hadn’t exceeded her 80 minutes.

She dished some spoonfuls into the neat plate, making sure there was enough beef in it. Then, she placed it on a tray and left the room with it, headed for the jerk’a room.

It was a long walk from the kitchen to his room, and when she finally got there, she let out a deep breath.

“I’m done!” She called out to him since she couldn’t open the door herself as a result of the tray she was holding.

There was no response and just when she was about calling out again, the door slided open on its own.

Oh.. wow.

She cleared her throat a bit and walked in, finding the jerk on the bed.

There was a small table in front of him and Valerie figured she had to keep it in front of him. And she did

“No water?” He scoffed.

Goodness!

Valerie almost rolled her eyes as she left the room and returned to the kitchen, getting a bottle of water from the fridge.

“Valerie Waltson – running errands?” She thought to herself and scoffed.
Who would ever believe it?

She returned to his room and found him already eating.

Okay… it seems he liked the food.

Well,of course!! Who wouldn’t like such meal?? Not when he isn’t mad. She giggled silently.

She dropped the water beside the tray and moved away. Okay, now she’s done with the meal. What next could he possibly ask her to do?

“No matter what you do, Valerie” Jericho suddenly said and she looked at him.
“Before the end of the week, you’re definitely gonna have s.ex with me”.
