Chapter 57
Rose waited for Zayne to sit down first and then Janice who was nervous to be at the same table as her employer. It was funny to see Janice’s change in attitude now that Zayne was so close to them. She had told him that he was scary and now he should see she wasn’t wrong.
"Should we take out the food for you?" Janice asked, not knowing what to do. Were they to still act as his servants and serve him or just eat without worrying about him?
"I can take it out myself," Zayne replied. "You don’t need to look so tense. I will not kill you."
Rose shared a look with Janice. It wasn’t the right time to use the word kill. Zayne was much taller than the two of them and his build showed that he could easily kill someone if he wanted to. Then there was the hard part to ignore that he was a foreigner. Their general at that.
Rose picked a bowl and passed it to Janice, trying to distract her. By the end of dinner, Janice would see that he only looked scary. It was like the world knew he would be a general so he was purposely made to grow tall and always look like he was uninterested in what was happening around him.
Did he scare his mother with how fast he grew?
Zayne wished to know what was so funny that Rose was smiling so much and trying not to laugh. It wasn’t a shared secret among the two women since Janice looked just as confused as him.
"Rose, did the food tell a joke?" Janice asked jokingly. What had put Rose in a good mood?
As long as Janice focused on Rose, she could handle being seated right next to Zayne. Why focus on such a scary man when there was such a cutie before her? And by the looks of it, Zayne had the same thought.
