Chapter 12: Learn to dance
“Missing lady, you shouldn't do this kind of work. If Mr. Harry, I'll be in trouble." A maid said as she saw Ella stirring eggs in a bowl.
"It's okay, I can do it," Ella said, while the maid arranged the dishes and decorated the plates with salad.
Ella made egg-fried rice for her and David. She garnished the rice with chili, carrots, sausage, and onions. She arranged it beautifully.
With the other members, she makes hot dog toast with a recipe she made up herself. She put all the dishes on the table, just as everyone entered the dining room one by one.
All the maids bowed in unison to them.
As usual, Mr. Harry sat in the middle of the table. A maid who was also his close servant whispered something in his ear. After listening, Mr. Harry nodded, smiling at Ella. “Is it because you cooked breakfast?”
“I only cooked a few dishes for me and David, because I don't know your tastes.” Ella politely replied.
“Today I want to try the food you made.” Mr. Harry took a piece of hot dog and popped it into his mouth. He praised the deliciousness after chewing.
“You are such a wonderful wife.”
"Thank you." Ella laughed when she heard Mr. Harry.
Rika peeled off a piece of hot dog toast together. Her eyes lit up. “Delicious, Ella. You are great."
Ella turned to David. He didn't show any emotions. He was still eating his egg-fried rice. But David had tasted Ella's bread.
Before long everyone was eating breakfast made by Ella, but only Mrs. Emma is unhappy.
'You are all happy when you eat breakfast cooked by me. But how do I make my mother-in-law satisfied?' Ella fell into thought.
David finished his meal, looking at Ella with loving eyes. "Very delicious. I want to eat your food every day.”
"Of course." Ella nodded and smiled.
After seeing David out the gate, Ella turned back in, meeting Rika at the door. Rika told her. “We go shopping, I haven't gone in a long time. Are you going with me? Sometimes we have to correct our beauty?"
"But I'm busy." Ella tries to decline Rika's invitation.
“Let's go, it's just the two of us. As girls, it's easier for us to talk to each other. That costs nothing.” Rika was still trying to convince Ella.
Unable to refuse, Ella nodded.
She was supposed to go to dancing class this morning, but now it has to be postponed.
"Okay, let's go." Ella surrendered to her brother-in-law's stubbornness.
At Lori Beauty Spa, Ella and Rika enjoy comfortable moments while being pampered by the service staff.
Rika suddenly asked. “Ella, how was your wedding night?” She asked with an excited voice.
Ella was startled by Rika's question. Even the masseuse blushed.
After thinking, Ella answered. "Your brother never disappoints." She thinks this is the best answer.
“How long have you two been doing that?” Rika continued to ask.
Ella was speechless but she didn't want to upset Rika. "Until morning."
“Wow, tell me more.” Rika urged. “I want to know how that goes.”
Ella embarrassed the masseuse, she replied. “When you get married, you will experience it. This delicate matter… should not be spread around.”
Rika nodded in agreement, feeling that Ella's words were reasonable. She speaks. “My brother has never brought his girlfriend home, he hasn't even had close relationships or conversations with the opposite sex. I thought he was gay. But now, I have changed my mind.”
"Why doesn't he have a girlfriend?" Ella asked curiously. She didn't understand why she wanted to know more about David.
"He's always busy so he doesn't have time to date, but I don't think he's found the right guy until he meets you," Rika said with a serious tone.
“Am I the right person?”
"Maybe so. There are a lot of girls chasing my brother. Most of them are rich, sour, fierce girls. They try to please him to get into Anthony's family. You know, they just want to take our home property. You're different, you're not like them."
“Why do you believe me?” Ella blinked.
Rika turned her head to look at Ella. “When I've been with you for a while, I know you're a nice girl. But why does my mother hold a grudge against you? She just wants Maria to be her daughter-in-law.” Rika sighed.
Ella was surprised. "Maria?" She has some doubts.
“She grew up with us from a young age. She stalks David all day which makes him very uncomfortable. I don't like Maria, she's arrogant and cocky. Only a madman would love her.” Speaking of Maria, Rika's expression scowled. She clenched her fists, furious.
"Where is Maria, I don't see her?" Ella hesitated to continue.
“She went to study abroad and is about to return. I guess after Maria comes back, knowing you're David's wife, she's going to go crazy and there's going to be a fight." Rika said.
“Is she that scary?” Ella rubbed her chin and asked again.
Rika just shrugged. “She will find a way to separate you and David. She always wants to take your place in this house. Be wary of her. I will support you.” Rika meant well by reminding Ella of what would happen in the future.
Ella was lost in thought, reflecting on Rika's words. She felt difficulties begin to come.
Rika elbowed Ella. “What are you going to do this morning?”
Ella woke up and replied. “I plan to learn to dance.”
“Great, I want to learn too,” Rika answered quickly, her voice excited.
After facials, they head to the dance center. When they got there, they entered a rather large room. The surrounding mirror made Ella feel so small.
She changed into tights a T-shirt and dance shoes. She looked over at Rika, who was also changing into a tank top with a skirt.
They learn the Samba dance under the guidance of a teacher. Ella learns to dance because if she attends an event or party, later on, she won't be ashamed of not being able to dance.
Before starting, the teacher gave two pairs of high heels to Ella and Rika. She told Samba to dance and to wear high heels.
Ella is not used to wearing high heels. Most of the day she wears sneakers or a pair of low-heeled shoes. That makes her feel comfortable and at ease.
Ella sighed as she was forced to wear high heels.
Rika was used to wearing high heels so she didn't show any expression.
These shoes make Ella feel a bit tired when training, but she endures. During the break, Ella sat down to take off her shoes, her ankle red and swollen.
"Are you okay? Is your leg injured?” Rika showed concern.
"Nothing, I'm ok." Ella forced a smile.
They continue the lesson.
