Chapter 29

"I'm already at the supermarket, what do you want to buy?" Asked Nina who was busy pushing the trolley while holding the phone. 

While Aiden began to show his authoritarian soul by ordering other people who he considered helpless while relaxing on the couch. 

"Go to the meat rack, buy 500 grams of beef, 250 grams of minced meat, 500 grams of lean chicken and 1 pack of eggs," 

"Okay, what else?" 

"500 gram salmon meat, fresh milk-" 

"Wait! Don't rush, I have to move to a different shelf!" 

"Hurry up! Don't take too long! My stomach is already thrashing begging to be filled!" 

"Okay, how many boxes of fresh milk?" 

"Buy three boxes! Just remember, low fat ones!" 

"Okay, Your Majesty King Aiden Supernova, I'll get you a low fat one!"  She emphasizing her words while holding back her irritation at her powerlessness that had been manipulated. 

"Haha... oh yeah, buy some smoked sausage too!" 

"Why not when I'm in the meat section?" 

"I forgot! Hurry and get it!" 

"I don't want to go back there again, it's too far! Next time, you can buy it!:" 

"Oh my hand, it hurts so bad! Ouch... why is this? What a pity for these beautiful hands, it hurts so bad. What loser would have the heart to pinch my hand?" 

"Okay,, I'll get it!" 

"Hurry up, huh? I want to eat smoked sausage today!" 

"Damn, just a bother!" 

"Hoi... why are you grumbling like that? Aren't you happy?" 

"Who's grumbling? I've got this, how much do you want?" 

"How much is that? Just 500 grams. After that, buy peppers, carrots, potatoes-" 

"Wait a minute! I'm still in the meat section!" 

"Why you so slow? Hurry up...!" 

"Why don't you go shopping?" 

"Ouch...ouch...my hand, it hurts more and more!" Aiden said while pretending to wince. 

Nina swallowed hard, between annoyed mixed with guilt. But it seems, her anger far outweighs her guilt. She stared at the ceiling of the supermarket which was filled with brightly shining lights. 

"Haaah... its annoying." 

*** 

Nina who had just left the supermarket, realized one thing. At this time, she was carrying a lot of groceries that Aiden ordered. There were six plastic bags that she carried with both hands and they felt quite heavy. 

Having no choice, she had to take a taxi, thinking that Aiden would reimburse her double. When they arrive at the apartment building, she has to carry groceries to Aiden's apartment alone. 

Tin...tun... 

"Wait a minute!" Aiden said while opening the door of his house. His eyes caught the appearance of a woman with a scary face because of exhaustion carrying six large plastic bags filled with goods ordered by Aiden. 

"Wow...well...tired, huh?" 

"You? If you want to bother other people, tell me to buy this, buy that and let me carry this much groceries alone!" 

"Hey... let me say that to you when you casually forced me to take you home and you fell asleep in my car! You think I'm not having trouble? And you sleep like a dead person who is very difficult to wake up!" 

"That's a different story-" 

"Different story? What's so hard for you to help me? You have two hands and nothing is broken!" 

"Well come on, here's your groceries! Now give me back my money plus taxi fare and reward for me, total of 200 dollars!" 

"Why is it so expensive? Where's the receipt? I want to see it!" 

"Okay!" She said while handing over a long paper from inside her bag. 

"It's all 100 dollars, why do you want 200 dollars?" 

"Taxi fare from my campus to the supermarket 15 dollars and from the supermarket to your apartment 20 dollars, the rest is reward for me!" 

"My goodness, you really don't want to lose that?" 

"Hurry, give me my money back!" 

"I'll give it later, now you make food for me!" 

"Why me?" 

"Who else made it?" 

"I don't want to!"" 

"If you want to cook me a nice meal, I'll cut off your debt by 100 dollars. How about that?" 

"My debt? 100 dollars? Really?" 

"Yes, how? You want to refuse my offer?" 

"Yes, all right, I'll make it!" 

"Yeah...hurry there, cook delicious!" 

"Yess, Sir!" She said who was excited after hearing that her debt would be cut. 

"Hahaha...!" Aiden laugh. He tried to hold back his laughter because he managed to avenge himself who had been deceived and deceived by this banana girl so many times. 

He was back relaxing on the couch while reading the continuation of the story "I Know You Want Me" which without realizing it, he started to like the story. Meanwhile in the kitchen, Nina who was tired after shopping, was forced to cook food for young master Aiden who in her eyes was far from cool, royal, authoritative, cold and charismatic like those in romantic novels. 

Kruuuukkk... 

This was the fifth time today Aiden's stomach growled. He couldn't hold back his hunger anymore, even now it was time for lunch. 

He walked into the kitchen, checking to see if the food was done cooking. Not to mention Aideb arrived in the kitchen, the smell of very delicious meat broth wafted, whet his appetite. 

"What are you cooking?" 

"Meat and Mushroom Risotto." 

"You can cook risotto? You're really great!" 

"Cooking it isn't difficult, because earlier you told me to buy rice, so I'll just make that!" 

"Is it ripe?? I'm so hungry!" 

"Okay, wait a minute!" Nina said while pouring a few spoonfuls of hot risotto into a bowl. 

"Here, please enjoy!" Nina put a bowl of risotto on the table. Aiden who was very hungry, immediately ate it. 

Drrrtt... drrrtt... 

Nina's phone rang. Quickly, she took her phone and saw who the hell was calling her. 

"Huh? Julian? Why did he suddenly call me?" 

"Just answer his call!" 

"Uhm... hello Julian? Good afternoon?" She immediately acted sweet by issuing a fake voice that sounded cute. 

"Uhuk....uhuukkk..." Aiden choked because he was amused by her pretended behavior. 

"Good afternoon, Miss Nina? How are you?" Asked Julian who was no less sweet-natured. 

"I'm fine. By the way, why you calling me?" 

"I'd like to ask you out on a date this Saturday, do you have any plans?" 

"Date? No, I have no plans. This Saturday? Okay!" 

"Since when do you have a schedule?" Aiden thought who was forced to hear a conversation that had absolutely nothing to do with him. 

"Okay! I also have a gift for you, I hope you like it, Nina!" 

"Gift? You want to give me a gift?" She asked. Her eyes immediately widened when she heard the word "gift" 

"Yes, because of that, let's have a date this Saturday. Don't you work on Saturday?" 

"No, for the past few days the cafe has been closed because our manager has returned his home town and cafe are temporarily closed." 

"So, you can?" 

"Of course I can, what time is Saturday?" 

"How about at six? I'll pick you up!" 

"Really? All right, Saturday at six, right? I'll be waiting!" 

"Okay then, see you Saturday, Nina?" 

"See you Saturday, Julian!" She hung up the phone with a coquettish smile, making Aiden couldn't stop thinking about seeing her. Why could she change so much when facing a man she liked, or more precisely, a man she wanted to trick. 

"Have you prepared a new plan?" 

"Aiden, have you heard? Julian is going to give me a gift, what do you think he's going to give? A diamond necklace? An expensive watch? A branded bag or perhaps, he's going to give me a car?" 

"Hey... your imagination is too high!" 

"Besides, how could he buy you a car with the money he borrowed from me!" He thought. 

"What's wrong with imagining? I'm not harming anyone. After all, a rich man like him, surely it's not a big thing to buy his future girlfriend a car, right?" 

"Ouch... you are self-conscious, huh? What era do you live in? Don't act like a Cinderella!" 

"Why are you so busy taking care of my life? Are you jealous because I'm more interested in Julian than you?" 

"What? Did you hit your head? You're talking like crazy! Never mind, you better clean the kitchen and wash the dishes! And stop dreaming!" 

"Why am I also washing the dishes?" 

"Who else? Me? Just do it, don't keep protesting!" Aiden said as he stepped out of the kitchen. 

"Damn! Am I your maid?"
