Chaos In The Darkness; Salvatores's Salvation-Chapter 65: A good girl - II

Evelyn again cooked the dinner.

Had the don forgotten about getting a new made for himself? For how long was Evelyn supposed to keep on cooking? To be honest she was not a cook. She had never cooked in her life and now she was running out of the dishes that she knew how to cook.

This time she had actually finished cooking thirty minutes past seven which left her with another thirty minutes for Salvatore to arrive home.

She huffed slightly.

At least when she was living with his parents it was better because she had some company. Here Evelyn was alone almost all of the time.

A familiar ping was heard and Evelyn turned around from the couch that she was sitting in to see Salvatore entering the penthouse.

"Don?" She mumbled in shock not expecting him to comment so early.

Salvatore threw a glance her way. "What?"

She shook her head.

Evelyn had postponed her anxiety of what the conversation would be when he came home around 8 o’clock but he had arrived home 30 minutes before.

"What?" He stopped completely, standing in front of her with his arms crossed.

"Nothing." Evelyn said defensively. "I just finished making dinner. Would you like to have some now?"

He nodded. "Please lay out the plates. I will come after washing up." Without so much of a glance her way Salvatore moved upstairs and Evelyn watched him disappear before getting up and setting the dinner table.

She was finished and was on his seat by the time Salvatore came down. She turned around only slightly and completely looked ahead when he sat down in his chair.

With one glance at him Evelyn averted her eyes completely when she noticed how she was dressed or rather underdressed.

The buttons of his shirt open and bye open they were all opened bearing his chest to the world and to her.

Those eight abs were only doing the man justice. Evelyn could not help try to pick down to what was inside those jeans. For the first time she felt a bitter feeling for him being covered up in the lower half.

"So," he said very loudly, making her jump and snap out of it, "what have you made today?"

"Spaghetti Alla Carbonara," she lifted off the plate revealing the dash she made to him. "And there is wine."

Evelyn did not feel the need to make anything else except for something light in sweet. She would have bought him something tasty from the Bakery but apparently she did not feel like he deserved it.

This time, as She watched, instead of having her serve herself Salvatore did it for her.

Evelyn blink her eyes at the huge serving given to her. Was he expecting her to eat it all? It was almost double the size of what she ate.

"Um, Don, this is too much for me," she reminded him.

"I know." He said but did not speak further as he served himself. After he had covered the utensil with its cover and picked up his fork, he began, "you are too thin Evelyn. Even Agatha told my mother of that."

Agatha talked about her weight? Evelyn considered Agatha to be no less than Maria but she was also aware of the fact that since Alexis was a civilian married into the family, Agatha was her right hand.

"Still," she politely tried to continue an argument with the don, "I still cannot eat so much in one go."

"Eat it later when you watch the movies at midnight."

Evelyn stilled at the very spot.

He knew that she likes to watch movies at midnight? At times she would fall asleep in the middle of them or sometimes she won’t even make it 30 minutes into the movie before she fell asleep. But the question was how was the don aware of that because as far as she remembered both the rooms were quite far and it was obvious that they were soundproof. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"Y-you know?" She stuttered out.

It was a serious invasion of privacy. Were there any cameras in her room that she was not aware of? Evelyn did not remember if she had changed her clothes in the room instead of the bathroom. Had he seen her naked or had anyone seen her naked?!

He nodded and left his fork in the plate before entangling his fingers and keeping them under his chin. "I do know but not how in the way you think I know."

"Then?" Evelyn asked in an impatient tone.

Salvatore chuckled lightly and it made Evelyn question his sanity. "I don’t have any cameras in your room. However I have them all over the penthouse and when my Guards heard some unusual movements at night, they checked." He smiled, "by unusual I mean hearing the shots of laughter in the corridor and someone walking around the house looking for something sweet to eat."

Evelyn blushed and looked away.

Yes, she admitted to being guilty of being a midnight sweet stealing thief.

Yet, she smiled, "I did not know that you like to eat sweets and candies, Don."

"I don’t," he said pointedly, "the stash you found was of my niece and nephew. I hope you can come up with an excuse as to why the entire stash is gone when they come here."

Shit.

Children could be nasty.

"Surely you would not throw me under the bus?" Evelyn asked him because she was not sure of that herself.

He chuckled but this time it sounded something dark and malicious. "I want to know how many people I have thrown under the bus?" Which he had, quite literally.

She shook her head. Should she have thanked him for the offer?

Instead of talking any more, she just focused on finishing the humongous portion of food on her plate. The last time that she probably must have hidden such a huge portion would have been the time her mother was around.

"You cool well," he commented and with a mouth full of food.

"I just know how to cook a few dishes," she told him, "but the ones I know I do well."

That she did and Salvatore had no doubt about that. For as long as Evelyn had cooked dinner which was only for a week and above, hardly then days that was, she had cooked him great food.

That only made Salvatore appreciate her even more. Evelyn was modest and she did not revel in compliments but she knew how to accept them.

However now he knew why should never eat too much in one sitting. Evelyn had a habit of eating around midnight and she ate a huge amount of food when that happened.

No wonder how she actually found the sweet stash that he has stored for the twins. He had actually hidden them and this little mouse had dug out of its hole.

Once they had finished eating Salvatore loaded the dishwasher. Courtesy to his mother who had made sure that they knew how to do household work even though she knew that they would have house help for all of their lives.

At least now he could manage a round without an annoying maid on his head, which reminded him,

"Tomorrow, I have a butler coming." He informed Evelyn who was looking at something inside the fridge.

"Butler?" She repeated and he could detect the hint of disbelief in his voice. "Like an actual butler?"

Salvatore gave a nod. "Yes, in fact, I have a three person staff coming in who are, one Butler, one maid and one chef."

"Oh." She said and after sometime she added, "Okay."

Once he had loaded the dishwasher he leaned against the counter and folded his arms over his chest before staring at Evelyn. "Do you not like the idea?"

Evelyn turned to him dumbfoundedly. "Me?"

He nodded.

"Oh well," she gulped, "it’s just a penthouse where will the three live?"

Good question but, "I own the building. They will sleep in servant quarters."

He watched as a frown creased her forehead and the wheels inside her head started to churn. Evelyn has started to think of something.

That she had. If there were houses empty inside the building that meant that she had an opportunity to move a.

"So," she wondered loudly, "you actually own the whole building and there are a few apartments that were empty?"

Salvatore stared at her before huffing. It was either her thinking of her self like a 007 agent or a well-trained Assassin or she considered him to be playing dumb.

"There are many empty apartments but you are staying in this one with me." He answered her question with each word loud and clear. "Understood?"

Evelyn lightly pouted and he narrowed hisbeyes at that. The action alone had blood rushing to his nether regions.

His eye twiched as he turned to the side avoiding looking at her. Fuck, he was gone even before he realised.
