Abby slept soundly that night without knowing that the next day would be the start of her unending headache.
"Abby! Miss Abby Wright! Hey?!!
Wake up Hooman! Little girl, you have wake up!"Jorah was lost of words on how would he be able to snatch the sleeping Abby out of her slumber. Left with no idea, he pulled Abby's hair here and there.
Yet that did not seem to work.
"Alright, forgive me for what I was about to do next. You had it coming to yourself."
The cat said in a dead-serious tone as though what he was about to do next was something unforgivable. After that, he positioned himself on top of Abby's chest and sat at it.
"If this won't wake you up yet, I no longer know what would."
Jorah thought out loud then he made a big yawn while making su
"You're late."That was the first thing that Eugene said as soon as he saw Abby arrived at their work station. However, his scowling face was not the first thing that Abby noticed when she got there.Instead, what caught her attention was the state of the room itself.It was a total mess!There were countless empty vials scattered on the floor as well as dangling parchments here and there, to the point that Abby could not help but twitch her face upon the mere sight of it."How were you able to work as such a disorganized environment????"Abby asked out loud as she looked at Eugene's direction with disbelief clearly written on her face."This is what they called, systematic chaos."Eugene replied with the same air of noncha
Abby and Jorah cleaned the room together but obviously, Abby did most of the cleaning since the cat could not exactly cover as much as his little size.Nonetheless, Abby enjoyed his company as the cat seemed to have a lot of stories in his bag."I was taken in by Master Eugene when I was still a kitten. So he basically raised me. He is my family. How about you?"Jorah initiated their conversation with that."Me? Well, to be honest with you, there is nothing much about me worth telling the story about. When it comes to the concept of family, I think I lost it when I was a kid.""Oh.. Seemed like you did not have an entertaining life at all. No wonder, you seemed dull."Without bothering to filter out his words, Jorah gave Abby his honest opinion after hearing her side. Abby
"They are the closest thing I have to a family. I may not be in any way related to them in terms of blood, but for once in my life, I treated them as my own family as well. I basically grew up with them yet they ran away, together with all my money. The inheritance that my parents left to me, they took it from me and left me buried in their debts instead."When Abby was once again reminded of the money that she lost as well as the supposed opportunity to give her life a change, her heart ached.But knowing that there was no point thinking about the things that she did not have control over with, Abby chose to only put it at the back of her mind.Jorah felt sorry towards Abby when he heard her story and so he told the other party something that he reckoned would cheer her up at least."Don't worry little girl, things we lose have a way of coming back to us in the end,
Abby and Jorah were busy cuddling with one another. There was still some work left for them to do but they were almost done.They were just having a good rest when all of a sudden, they heard an explosion coming from the kitchen.'BOOM!'Abby and Jorah found themselves staring at one another after they heard the sound and they saw the same shocked and perplexed expression reflecting in each of their own faces."I wonder what could possibly the cause of that explosion?"Jorah though out loud as they hurriedly made their way to the kitchen to come and check for the source of the explosion.When they arrived, they saw Eugene standing in front of the kitchen top. He had his back on them that was why he had no idea that the
Meanwhile, when Abby heard the other party's abrupt accusation towards her, she was flabbergasted."Mine?! How come it became my fault?! I don't even have an idea that you are cooking here until we heard the explosion."Abby rebutted but Eugene only used her same words against her."Precisely! And that is your biggest mistake. You are supposed to be a servant in this house. It is your task to serve me. You are the one who should take care of all of this. Yet I was forced to cook my own meal!""But I was cleaning back then????"Abby argued back."So??? Is it my fault then?? Is it my fault that you wake up late? I am the master here and you are the servant. Do you suggest that I should be the one to adjust??? Should I just wait for you to finish your tasks and starve myself to death?"Eugene sai
"Just bare with Master Eugene, in the meantime. He is quite grumpy at times, but he is not always like that. He is really a nice man, believe me."Jorah said in his master defense while he tried his best to move the burnt casserole over the gas range towards the empty countertop.The casserole was almost as big as the size of the cat's body itself so the other party was having a hard time carrying it. Seeing this, Abby came to his rescue."If this happened to a normal household, this would call forth an emergency situation. But from how you guys handled it, it seemed that this was not new anymore."Abby could not help but comment as she took the casserole from Jorah's paws."Well, explosions were indeed a common thing whenever Master Eugene was trying to concoct new potions. He is not good at cooking anything in general.""Err???? Then how did he managed to survive until now? I mean, how was he able to eat without knowing how to cook? Don't tell me you also, cook for him?"Abby insinua
After she was done cleaning everything that needed to be cleaned, Abby started working on the kitchen next so she could cook something for them to eat.She knew that if she wanted to make her stay at their residence quite a smooth sailing one, then one thing she had to do was to constantly keep herself under the other party's good graces, and that was what she would aim to do starting from that day onward.Being used to attending the needs of her stepfamily at the most part of her life, Abby had grown quite used to doing household chores to the point that she could dare claim that if there was one thing she was really good at, that would be on the field of housekeeping.Cleaning, cooking, washing, named it!She could do them all too well wit
"Tsk! What was the sense of having a good fridge if you guys are not even planning of putting something usable inside it? What a waste."Tsking in frustration, Abby mumbled afterward. Meanwhile, seeing her reaction, Jorah only shrugged before replying.
