Kate tried to sleep but couldn't fall sleep. She was on an empty stomach that made her feel bad. She'd better find something to eat.
There were so many dishes on the table, which was enough for Brian to eat. And there might be leftovers in the kitchen, thought Kate.
Kate tried to shake off Brian's arms, but he was too strong for her. Kate looked at the ceiling helplessly, took a rest and tried again. Smart as she was, she didn't try to move his arms but slipped out his arms slowly.
It was at this moment that Kate felt well as a thin person.
With all her strength, Kate finally freed herself from Brian's arms. She wiped the sweat off her forehead and was proud of herself.
Kate squatted beside the bed and looked at Brian. Well, he was still asleep.
Kate grinned and crept out of the bedroom. There was a light in the corridor. Though it was a little dim, it didn't affect her at all. All she was thinking about now was delicious food.
Kate slipped into the kitchen and hurried to open the fridge, but the leftovers were gone. She looked at the fridge which was filled with kinds of vegetables, but there were no leftovers.
Kate was confused and turned on the light in the kitchen. She looked around but didn't find any leftover.
Depressed, Kate opened the fridge, took out a few tomatoes and washed them before eating them. When she stood there, she felt uncomfortable. She sat on the chair in front of the dining table, while her one leg was put on the table comfortably.
Kate looks very domineering.
After eating one, Kate felt a little bit uncomfortable in her stomach. However, she didn't care about it and was going to eat the second one.
Kate thought about how miserable her life was. She was so hungry that she ate tomatoes at midnight. The autumn wind outside the window was bleak. Kate was just like a tree standing in the wind, and her heart was filled with sadness.
"There are dishes in the pot."
A voice came out from nowhere and startled Kate. Her hand which was holding the tomato shook and the tomato fell to the ground.
Kate turned around and saw a tall figure standing at the kitchen door in the dim light that was Brian. He crossed his hands over his chest and looked down on Kate like a God.
Kate looked blankly at Brian who suddenly appeared, with a vacant look on her face.
Brian walked in. Kate looked around and found that she could hide herself behind the French curtains. She immediately ran behind the curtains and her heart was beating in her throat.
How could Brian wake up? When she got up, she clearly saw him sleeping well!
Kate tried her best to calm down.
It was most embarrassed to get caught by an acquaintance while eating furtively. Moreover, the acquaintance not only was the owner of the villa but also was her boss.
Kate prayed that Brian couldn't find her. Kate kept praying with folded hands. She really hoped that she could move in an instant with her life span of ten years.
Brian smiled and stopped in front of the curtains. He pushed the curtains aside.
"Ah!" Kate was so shocked that she squatted down and held her head.
Kate looked like a thief who has been caught.
Fine, she was a thief.
"Are you hungry?" Brian asked, squatting down calmly.
It was obvious that Brian was mocking her. Kate lowered her head and didn't answer.
She refused to talk to Brian!
"Say something." Brian ordered coldly.
Kate was scared because of Brian's cold voice. And she replied sincerely, "Yes."
"Are you losing your temper?" Brian looked straight at Kate with his dark eyes. As the light was too dim, Kate could not see the emotions in his eyes. But his voice was cold as always.
"Of course not!" Kate retorted at once.
Kate would not admit that she was losing her temper. Was she the kind of person who was so mean that she would lose her temper easily? How could it be possible?
"My kitten, do you want to eat?" Brian was so close to Kate that her face was covered with his breath.
At this moment and at this environment. In this atmosphere, Kate felt that she was on the verge of exploding.
Her face kept blushing.
"I want to eat." Kate replied in a low voice.
She came to herself after saying this words. What did Brian call her? A kitten? I'm a kitten?
This obedient answer satisfied Brian very much. He took her into his arms, took her to the table, and turned on the kitchen light at the same time.
The kitchen became so bright at once. Kate, who was carefully nestling in Brian's arms, didn't know what to say and felt a little embarrassed.
While Kate was in a trance, the table was filled with hot food.
