Chapter 171: Advice (3)
"Did you see the new maids that came not long ago? Some of them are already moving into their rooms," Jonah said as he poured water into a jar for Annalise. He looked forward to having more hands in the kitchen.
"There wasn’t anyone new on my way here. I was with Beatrice before I came here. I will get to see them at dinner. Jonah, I need some advice," Annalise said, deciding to get a second opinion since death was on her mind.
Jonah placed his hands on his hips, suddenly feeling suspicious of Annalise coming to him for advice. She only came to him to hide from Mavis or to get food out of him. "What is it? Thinking of quitting or is it love advice that you need?"
"I am trying to stop myself from wanting to strangle someone," Annalise said.
"Oh," Jonah replied, puzzled by this. He looked around the kitchen at the other cooks who stopped to look at Annalise. "That’s a new one. Is someone bullying you again?"
"No, but there is someone annoying me. There is a knight who has feelings for me and no matter how many times I say nothing will happen between us, he doesn’t quit. As a man, what can I do to get rid of him?" Annalise asked.
"Umm," Jonah answered, unsure of what he was to say to this. "Why not give it a try-"
"If I wanted to give it a try, I wouldn’t have thoughts of strangling him so I would be free of having to listen to him. What can I do to make a man lose interest in me? Do you not know? Maybe it would be better for me to find someone who has better relationship advice to offer. Thank you," Annalise said, reaching for the water meant for Beatrice.
Jonah held onto the jar to stop Annalise from leaving. He might not look it, but he had better advice than most when it came to relationships. "What makes you think I don’t have any advice to offer? I was a lady charmer back in my youth," he said.
