Chapter 11

A few hours later, Richard was done with the house chores and almost with cooking. He just had to take the meal to the dining table. He took the fried rice from the burner and dished it into a Large dish. When he was done, he sealed it up. As he was about to take them to the dining, Lady Tashia screamed his name, interrupting him.

"Richard," she yelled. "Are you deaf? come down here this minute."

"Okay grandma," Richard yelled back.

He left what he was doing to answer her call. Meanwhile, Rachael who had been secretly watching him from afar saw this as an opportunity to carry out the evil plan she Intended when she volunteered to join Richard to prepare the meal.

As she got to the kitchen door, she spun her head left and right to ascertain that he was really away. "He is gone," She smiled to herself and straightened up.

She got close to the burner where Richard kept the food. She opened the lid of the large dish and took a bit of the fried rice. "Great taste," she exclaimed.
