Chapter 200

Patricia felt her ear was going to go deaf with what she had just heard, did she just hear Chris saying that he wants to marry his maid? ' she thought

How possible is it that, she had only thought that Chris was being nice to her and because he also adopted her son, she never thought that they were actually in a relationship It turns out that Chris is even planning to marry her, that Angel is no longer her enemy, it's now this poor maid that is

"miss do you want something?" somebody's voice interrupted Patricia's thought, she looked back and saw that it was Jack, Chris's assistant

Jack was surprised to see the doctor's wife in front of the ward, she seemed to be peeping or eavesdropping on a conversation

"oh it's nothing, I just came back from seeing Jane a while ago and I thought to say hello before leaving but it seems that she's asleep or something, I will just take my leave now," she said and moved away

Jack didn't believe her story so he waited till she saw out of his sight till he made his way into the ward

As he got in the smell and aroma of home-cooked food greeted him, and if he was not mistaken this must be mashed potatoes and some chicken curry stew to go with, only his mother prepared that perfectly for him when he was little, ever since he has not seen other people that can cook it like that not even his foster mom

It was his favourite food but he had not eaten it in a while

"Jack you are here" Chris was the first person to notice him

"yes good evening sir" he said and bowed his head trying his best not to be tempted by the nose-blinding aroma

"I'm here to give you some reports" he added but he was stopped by Chris before he could go any further

"before you start talking anything about work you should sit and join us we have enough food to go around, we can discuss the business later," Chris said

Jack was surprised at his boss's cheeky behaviour, he seemed to be in a good mood this evening, which was good he had been at his worst since yesterday, even though they are not friends and he doesn't like him, he was still a little worried about him cause that's the first time that he was seeing him like that

"thank you" he accepted the invitation and sat on the couch

Mrs Whitney severed him his food and he digged in

After they finished eating their food, Mrs Whitney cleared up and went to sit close to Jane cause she knew that they needed time to talk about work

"so what have you got" he asked Jack brought out some documents, and placed the file on the desk

"These are the reports for today, I collected them from every team head, so this is the final draft," he said as he showed everything to him

"All right, that's good. I will check them all tomorrow and let you know if I need corrections anywhere at all", he said.

"one more thing Sir, you have a very important meeting to attend tomorrow, you have to be there in person," he said to him

"is that so necessary?" Chris asked him

"yes sir" he replied and Chris nodded

" it's fine I will try my best to make it there but the thing is I don't even have anything to wear, you would have to go to my house and pick out some clothes for me," he said to him

"Not a problem I will do that tomorrow morning and bring it right away before the meeting" he said and stood up

"I will be on my way now," he said and stood up, goodnight Sir, good night Mrs Whitney thank you so much for the meal, it was superb," he said to her

"I'm really glad that you like it", she replied to him, and Jack took his leave.

Jack got inside the car and headed home but then he changed his mind, he should go get Chris's clothes first before heading home, that way it would be easier for him to bring them in time for the meeting

He changed direction and made his way for the Smith mansion.

After dinner, everyone headed to their rooms, madam Rebecca is returning to her home tomorrow and it's only normal that they all retire to bed early so that can see her off tomorrow as she leaves

The kids were already asleep and Grace had also gone to bed, she claimed that she didn't get enough sleep in the afternoon as the twins would not let her be, Williams had given back to the study and most of the maids had already retired

Angel didn't come out to eat her food, she has been in her room since she returned home this afternoon

Maria was happy that everyone had gone to bed that way she could do what she had been planning to do since afternoon, she went to her room and brought out the safe from her closet

She made her way to the garden, she would have preferred to burn it but someone might notice her burning something and that might raise suspicion, so she would bury it instead

Jack alighted from the car and headed for the house but then he saw Maria tiptoeing out of the house, she was definitely up to something and he his more than willing to find out

He has been looking for evidence against her for so long, this might just be the start.
