said excitedly.
     
    “Please, Vincent. I am not used to people calling me ‘sir,’” Vincent said as I cleared the table. “How long will it be, Winnie?” he asked as he looked at me.
     
    “Twenty minutes,” I said.
     
    “Maybe we could take a few minutes by the pool and have a breath of the cool evening air,” Vincent said standing up.
     
    “Of course. I would love that, sir…Vincent,” Nathan said.
     
    I almost laughed. He was having the same struggle I had the first time Vincent told me not to call him Mr. Muse.
     
    “Sir Vincent? Did you just knight me, Mr. Hughes?” Vincent asked as they walked out.
     
    I was humming a happy tune as I took the utensils out. This was the first time I had listened in on one of my employer’s intimate meetings. Every day I lived in the Muse mansion was one that I learnt something new about my boss. For starters, he was very down to earth, especially for a millionaire.
     
    Secondly, he had a respect for people that most people in his class didn’t. In my experience, rich people had this mind set like they were above everyone else. They tended to look down at people of lower classes than them, particularly people who worked for them.
     
    And thirdly, and most importantly, he was flawed like every other human being, but he accepted his flaw. The flaw he kept secret.
     
    I set the table and then made my way back to the kitchen. I had just finished up everything when Vincent and Nathan made their way in. I could not help but notice the look Vincent’s eyes as the two walked to the dining room. I looked at him for a second, but not too long because I knew the effect he had on me. Every time he looked at me, my cheeks felt hot and my fingers seemed to be working against me. I was a klutz around him and I hated it. It was like every time he looked at me, his look triggered a part of me that I hated. A silly part of me. A part I wished to do away with.
     
    I put on oven mittens and got the pot out of the oven. The food looked perfect. But then again, everything I make usually does, I thought proudly as I walked the wide dish to the dining room.
     
    “Winnie, that smells divine,” Vincent said.
     
    “Thank you, Vincent. I hope the look fits the taste,” I said as I stepped back. Vincent looked up at me.
     
    “Look at you, being modest,” he said. I blushed. “She has been serving savory dishes ever since she got here. Were it not for the fact that working out is an important part of my daily regimen, I would be at risk of looking like King Kong in the next year.” I smiled.
     
    “The biscuits and samosas you served today were great,” Nathan said. “Honestly, I haven’t had samosas that tasty ever since that Indian restaurant downtown went out of business,” he added.
     
    “I like trying out new stuff. I’m just happy they work out,” I said.
     
    “Speaking of new stuff, what am I looking at?” Vincent asked as he looked into the wide dish.
     
    “Cartofi cu curnati. It’s a Romanian dish. Basically potatoes and sausage,” I said.
     
    Vincent looked up at Nathan.  “See what I mean? Pretty soon, I might have to turn down the next magazine knocking on my door for a ‘Sexiest 40 under 40’ photo shoot,” Vincent said laughing.
     
    “It’s a little high in carbs, but you need the energy. And the chicken is healthy and there are a whole lot of vegetables to balance out the carbs,” I said in my food’s defense. Vincent looked at me and shrugged.
     
    “Guess you are right. But it will be a cold day in hell before I turn down one of your recipes, Winnie,” he said as he began serving.
     
    I walked out of the dining room all smiles. I walked to my room and freshened up before I made my way back to the kitchen. I snacked on an apple and then walked to the dining room just as they were finishing up.
     
    “Winnie, that was out of this world,” Nathan said when he saw me.
     
    “Yes, Winnie. Your culinary trips around the world are the
