Evelyn's POV

Boss came home early today. He arrived around past 6 pm and he asked me to cook dinner, he was hungry. 

I always wait for him to come back from work so I can cook his dinner before going home. He hates eating cold meals and my job is to cook and serve him hot meals. I work for him alone.

My job isn't a difficult one, even when I am in the house waiting for his arrival, I do nothing other than watch movies like it's my home. Pamela and I chat whenever she is home but I notice she isn't always around these days. I wonder where she goes.

I usually cook his breakfast and dinner, but on weekends when he is home, I also cook him a light lunch. He takes coffee only on Mondays but my early morning work starts on Tuesdays. He usually leaves for work by 8 am, I have to resume early to cook his meal, serve him so he can eat before going to work. 

On Fridays, he goes to work late and comes back early. He leaves for work by 9 am and comes back at 5 pm which allows me to go home early also. On usual days, he arrives home by 8 pm or 9 pm.

That is when I try to fix something up for him but most times, I always prepare my ingredients and the chicken, whenever I want to make use of it before he comes home so when he comes, I will just get to cooking the meal to make my home going faster.

When he told me he was hungry, I decided to cook him something simple and fast, aside from the fried rice and chicken with greens that I intended to make for him. I debate on what to cook as I move into the kitchen and open the refrigerator.

I see the frozen cubed sweet potatoes in there and an idea struck me. I decide to make use of it to prepare his dinner. I know it won't take more than 10 minutes. I am sure the boss will be impressed since he is hungry. I don't want to get on his bad side anymore after what I did on my first day. I almost lost the job and because of my pride, I refused to apologize to him. 

He was angry that I kept him waiting on my first day but Pamela pleads on my behalf. It was at that moment she told him I was Annabelle's mother. I didn't know she had not told him I was her friend's mother. 

He warns me never to come late again or he will fire him. I was glad I didn't get fired on my first day, I felt Aidan would have to suffer for it if I had gotten fired. 

I love this job, even though I have to wake up early and come to work as early as 6 am. But it isn't a stressful job because cooking is my hobby turned passion. I have dreams of opening a restaurant of mine someday and I hope to achieve that dream when Anna becomes the billionaire's wife.

I want to own a big restaurant that can accommodate hundreds of people at the same time, for them to have a taste of my talent. I want to show how talented I am to the world.

This is something Austin, my former boss, didn't appreciate. I know he must be regretting why he fired me in the first place now. I am a rare gem. 

I am hoping Aidan will also help Anna achieve her dreams too. My baby has the dream of owning a spa. Anna loves beauty and fashion and I want Aidan to help her achieve that.
