Theo nodded. "The servants will serve them soon."
"I'll go take a look, then."
Petra left the dining area after saying that.
However, she quickly came back.
"I called the caretakers this morning to ask what you two were having only to realize that you had given them the day off. With the two of you young people at home, I figured you'd simply put something together, that's why I'm here. But it looks like I don't need to worry anymore because Theo has cooked some really good stuff. I don’t think the food is enough for so many of us, though. I'll go and cook two more dishes. When the food is served later, feel free to eat first.
Don’t wait for me."
After she finished her sentence, she left the dining area again.
Theo and Carlson looked normal, while Tyler bowed his head responding to a text message on his phone. It looked as though nothing was out of place.
Jerome and Xander were the only ones who looked unnatural. Xander looked at me and said in an exceedingly low voice, "Aren't you and Petra rivals? Why do you look so much like mother and daughter
right now?”
I shrugged. "I'm much more interested to find out than you."
He let out a huff and twitched his mouth, saying," Something fishy must be going on!"
Grayson asked about the case, and Theo replied normally. I did not want to hear them talking about this matter as it would affect my already bad mood, hence I got up and went to the pantry to make tea.
I had just finished making tea and was about to go out when Heidi gave me a call. There were many people at home, so it was not a convenient time to talk on the phone. After picking up the call, I told her that I would call her back when I was free and hung up after that.
I got back to the dining area. Not long after the servants served the food, Petra came over and served several more dishes. She wanted to make two more when Carlson quickly invited her to take a seat and have her meal instead of cooking more. Petra knew it was inappropriate to make everyone wait, so she took her seat.
As soon as she sat down, Grayson looked at me and asked, "Do you know how to cook, Wanda?"
