Working Wife

Busying himself in the kitchen.

Charles never likes to eat food prepared by other people.

And the seasonings in this world are very different, more like lacking.

As a good wife, he needs to fatten up his husband.

Well, first he has to make him eat his food. To do that he needs to cook a food that is so aromatic and appetizing that he will give it a try.

"Young Master, are you skipping work today as usual?" The servants ask. They are loitering inside and out the kitchen not knowing what to do.

"I'm working?"

"Yes. In the ministry of affairs. You hate the Ministry of affairs chairman but the Prime Minister still sends you to him." The servant who said this has a displeased tone.

"Hmm.. What do I do there?" He asks while he flips the meat in the pan.

The sizzling sound makes the servants gulp down. The smell is so good. What about the taste?

"I don't know. You don't say much about it." The servant says.

How would they know?

"Ah. I'm done." He said as he put the meat on the plate then put some garnished vege.

He then hurriedly carried it.

"I will come to work after I send this. But I'm not sure where it was." He said, pausing in the door.

"Don't worry. Your 3rd brother always bring you there." The servants answered not going to follow him.

Knocking.

"Who is it?" The beautiful voice is once again heard.

"It is me."

"You again."

"I made you meat with thick red sauce. I also make some rice. I will leave it here at the door. Eat it if you feel hungry. I will be off and go to work."

"Why are you telling me?"

"Nothing. If you feel safer without me. You can eat more at ease."

"....."

Charles looked at the door one last time and hurried to go.

He is never a tardy person.

If there is work then he should work hard.

***

"You are here?" The 3rd brother the servant told him is really punctual. Everyday he will come and urge him to work but The original is very lazy and used to a comfortable life. The ministry of affairs always has so many things to do. He doesn't want to go and is always being beaten hard to follow.

"Good afternoon 3rd brother. Let's depart." He said and looked back at his house.

Of course the beauty wont send him off.

He is not expecting anything.

***

The Ministry of Affair chairman is a man who likes everything to be neat and to the brink of perfection. That is why the unruly and self centered Charles never was compatible with him. He always messes up. He stumbles and the most irritating thing about him is that he blames others for his own mistakes.

That is why whether he comes or not makes no difference to the office. Actually, they prefer if he won't come.

But today, he comes in the afternoon.

Obedient.

Neat and polite.

He didn't show his arrogant chin and didn't walk like a King. Instead he looked easy to approach and almost...almost pleasant to the eyes.

"Wow. This place is huge." Amaze, Charles thought since the era looks like it's from ancient time the place will look shabby but he could never be so wrong.

It looks like a normal office in modern times except for the computers and landlines.

"Why do you look shocked?"

Sebastian smiles and rubs the top of his head.

Sebastian doesn't know what happened but today Charles is really being too cute.

He doesn't have a good relationship with Charles but he is still his youngest brother.

Charles didnt stop him from rubbing his head but he frowned.

His hair is a mess now.

"This..Where should I go?" Charles stops Sebastian from his further rubbing.

"Oh. Just report to the Chairman, I suppose."

"Hm..Okay. Thank you for showing me the way, 3rd brother."

"Hm."

Charles left him.

Sebastian is looking at Charles straight back.

Its just a while that he complains and make a lot of stupid remarks. He always shoves him in this office not caring about his prattle. Today, he is more reliable.

"It's a good thing that he calms down after his marriage. Man in love really changes their views." He is satisfied with this small changes. He left to report to their father.

Later, they can grant him some reward if he remains obedient.

***

Knocking.

The Chairman is talking to his right hand man when they both stare at the closed door.

"Who is it?" The manly voice with a lace of dignified air answered Charles knocking.

Charles' knees want to give in. Such a beautiful voice. Comparable to his own husband.

He coughs when he remembers his beautiful husband with red blood dripping in the corner of his lips.

Sinful!

So sexy.

Charles, who forgot where he was, is blushing red.

"I said, Who is it?!"

"Ah!" Startled Charles straightened his back.

"It's me Chairman. Charles Hanperson."

"Hanperson?" The Chairman looks at his right hand man, Kepper.

Kepper smiles.

"Come inside Manager Hanperson." Keeper said.

The Chairman is a handsome man with long silky hair.

Charles blinks when he sees him.

Handsome and a real beauty.

Yet he puffs his chest when he realizes that his family husband is more beautiful.

"Good Afternoon, Chairman and..."

"Hm.." Kepper's smile twitched.

"Can you remember your superior's name!? This is Ministry secretary, Keeper Williams! Do I have to make you remember every time?"

Chairman said angrily.

Charles sweats.

He really is not at fault.

The original Charles doesnt come remembering people by name but by their alias that he himself gave them.

"I'm sorry Secretary Williams." Charles said as he lowered his head.

Kepper is startled.

And the one who is reprimanding him, the chairman, is also shocked.

How can this arrogant brat recognize his own mistake? Doesn't make any sense.

***

Julius is really hungry.

He looks at the food tray outside his room and again feels really angry.

He called the servants.

"Prepare me a meal!" He said.

The servants look at the food tray outside his room.

"What?" Julius angrily asked.

"N-nothing. We will prepare some food." The young master told everyone to do anything he wanted them to do. Anything.

They don't dare offend this man favored by their master.

The servant is leaving when he still can't help but look at the food tray.

"What? Aren't you leaving? Ain't your master told you never to stay in my room for more than 5 minutes?" Julius said angrily.

"...this...Young Master Julius. Are you not eating this?"

"No." He said not batting an eye.

Instead of the expected mocking or angry glare. Julius is puzzled why the servant smiles at him.

"If you are not eating it. Then, can this servant take it?"

"Do what you want." He said not caring anymore.

The glutton servant kowtowed and hurriedly grabbed the tray. Looking around as if scared of being discovered.

"Wait." Julius stops him from leaving.

The servant is all smiles and doesn't mind being interrupted.

"Is there something else,Young Master?"

"Why do you look so happy receiving that food?" He frowns.

"Don't you know,Young Master Julius? Young Master Charles cooks this dish especially for you. He even pick the meat in the market himself. He carefully chooses a lot of spices. No one has an idea that young master Charles can cook. But then after cooking he even shared some leftovers with us. It's really tasty. This meat. Im sure is superior quality. If Im slower It might be stolen by the head housekeeper." The servant tells him as if he is already salivating.

Julius looks at the meat and frowns.

"Where is Young Master Charles?" He asks.

"Oh. He went to work."

"....you can leave now."

The servant bows and slowly closes the door.

Julius stands up and sits near the window.

His expression is complicated.

A/N:

I want meat.

So I eat meat. Lols
