I Hate This Monster

Hailey’s POV

I went to the kitchen and started preparing the food again. Ron brought all the raw items once again and Robert already left, I guess.

To meet his girlfriend, I suppose.

“Thank you,” I said to Ron as he brought me the items of the list, I gave him, and trust me here, it was a long list. I started cooking and made sure I don’t burn anything this time.

It is night and I am still cooking. Like for three hours straight and still there are 12-- no 13 dishes left.

I was cooking when two arms wrapped around my waist. I was about to scream but the person shushed me.

“It’s me, Robert,” he said.

Suddenly Max messaged me. It’s the first time he has talked to me after that night.

Which was yesterday.

Max: "Hey, are you free?"

I was not, so I didn't reply.

“W-What are you doing?” I asked Robert as I continued to stir the delicacy I was preparing.

“Nothing much,” he said. “Turn around”

I slowly turned around. He smirked at me.
