I want to eat with you

I couldn't wrap my head around what happened. He waited for me to finish writing, but he didn't even look at it at all. He must be trying to punish me for an offense I did not commit.

I went back upstairs and decided that I would use the rest of my day in bed but I guess the universe had its own plans. When I got to my room and was about to crash on my bed, I heard someone knock.

I literally swore within myself, that if I was still the strong Li Meilin, I would have broken that person's hand. I went to the door and opened it but I didn't see anyone.

"What is this, are they playing tricks on me or something?"

While I was about to close the door, I saw a small looking girl just in front of me and I couldn't help but scream a little.

"Ahhhh!!!" I screamed as I jumped back in fear.

"Good morning Miss Suri, my mother has asked me to bring you down for breakfast".

I personally have never fancied children but I don't understand why I was finding her so adorable and before u could even get my actions straight, I had already opened my mouth to talk.

"What is your name?"

"I'm Kali miss". She replied as she bowed a little to show respect and there I was, smiling like a sheep in love.

After a few minutes, I shook my head surprised by my own actions then I just passed without saying anything to her. I was going downstairs and she was right behind me.

When I got to the dining room, the table was filled with so many nice delicacies but I definitely couldn't finish all these and by the look of things, it was obvious they made it for just me as there was no other person on the table.

I saw the little Kali bringing in a jug of water. After she dropped it and was about to leave, I said

"Hey tiny thing" she turned around and looked at me and then I tapped the chair next to me which was more like asking her to come to sit beside me.

She looked at me as though I had said something so absurd.

"Thank you miss but I cannot do that". She bowed and left.

"Hey wait," I said and started trailing her to the kitchen. On getting there, I saw everybody eating merrily.

The old woman among them saw me and immediately stood up and bowed lightly which gave the others a sign and they all stood up and did the same thing.

"Miss, do you need anything?" it was the old woman who spoke while the others kept looking at me as though I was not supposed to be there.

"Uhhmm," I said confused without knowing what to say. I just kept looking at them unable to come up with words so I just said the first thing that I could think of.

"I want to eat with you".

"Huhh," they all said in sync as though they heard something unacceptable. I could see the disagreement on their faces but none of them dared to speak what was on their mind. I was guessing it was because of the fear for their boss.

"What are you waiting for? Go and bring a table and chair for the young miss". It was the old woman that spoke and right at the corner, I saw the small cute girl eating without a care in the world.

I walked up to her and sat right next to her. "Is it okay if I eat with you?" I asked and she just looked at me for a brief moment before nodding.

I sat on the chair opposite her and my food was served. I could see that what was served to me was different from theirs but I didn't want to make a fuss about it since they were already very uncomfortable with my presence.

I was uncomfortable and bored so I tried to bring up a conversation.

"So.....the boss huh". As soon as I said this, all the heads on the table turned and looked at me.

I noticed their stares even though some of them were trying hard not to make it obvious.

"He is pretty coo-coo".

The room was very quiet I felt like I said something very wrong.

"Ha....hahaha" I heard someone laugh from across the room and just liked that, the entire room was filled with laughter.
