BECKY POV.

we had decided to prepare a sumptuous Okra soup and semolina.

I prepared the soup with seafood like crab 🦀 ,  , shrimp 🍤 .......dairy products like  chicken 🐔, beef 🍖 ......🐠 tillapia  fish, snail 🐌 . Kperewinko.prawn🦐. And vegetable products okra.

While I was preparing the soup, the whole house was surrounded with the sweet aroma of the soup.

U must be wondering why I can cook very well. I wanted to originally be a chef but lack of funds made me study another course. And am still grateful for where I am.

After I was through with the meal, I helped Betty to set up the dinning table with the right cutlery, water glasses, plates and bowls for watching of hands.

After helping her set up. I rushed upstairs to shower to get rid of the dirt and sweat from cooking. Like cooking is really a lot of work.

After showering I throwed on my v neck nightie and tied my robe around me comfortably.and headed downstairs.

While coming down I heard laughters and chit chatting.... I thought I heard John voice. Maybe he decided to stop for dinner.

Hi John... I greeted when I saw him....

Hi sweetie... He said walking up to me and kissed my cheek....

That's new... John has never done that... Well he's just friendly. Everyone was already seated. I guess they were all waiting for me.

Hi......Jason.. I greeted sitting beside John. While Betty sat beside Jason.

Hi..... How was your day... He asked.

Fine.... I said.....

OK let's all dig in.... Betty said..standing up and serving everyone a portion of the seafood okra soup. She put  1  lap of chicken each on everyone  plates .

Wow.... This looks very appetizing. Even a dead man will rise up to eat this...... Jason said which made everyone laugh.

I didn't know Betty can cook like this.... John said smiling at her.

No... I didn't prepare this... Becky did.... Betty said avoiding my sign to shut up.

Are u serious? John asked smiling at me.

Yes.... My sister is a good cook...... Am an apprentice ....she said smiling.

Are u a chef............. Jason asked staring me straight in the eyes.

No... I said avoiding his eye contact .

We ended our conversations and enjoyed our meal.......  I noticed Jason eyes on me throughout the meal but ignored it and chatted with John instead...
