"Thank you master.n she was gld he smiled and that he seamed to ike iy. So she started o frost it and made it look as good as she could. She then let it sit to cool down and on the table. She looked at the time and saw her master would be hungry soon. So she started to cook him some supper. She cooked him some mash potatoes and a ribs for him. She put it all on a tray and started to take it to him. She went into his study hoping she was not destrbing him. She looked at him. "Here you go." She told him. She placed it down and waited to see if he would need anyhing else.

Alex nodded his head and watched the slave girl take it out of the oven. he wasn't a fan of sweets but she seemed happy so he smiled and shook his head slightly.

"i don't mind it, it looks very good." he grabbed a fork from the drawer and walked over to it, taking a small bite he looked over to her and smiled, he never smiles and this was a rare occasion that he felt he could.

"It's very good Iris. keep up the good work." he set the work down and walked out of the room and back up to his study, suddenly feeling much better about work and is able to look harder.

"Yes i do like it. It makes it seam all better when i eat some baked goods." She said as she looked at him. "And it is ok. I dont need anything at the moment." She said as hse lookat the cake in thestove. It was almost ready to take out she was just waiting for it to raise more. SHe looked at him. "Do you enjoy chocolate?" she asked as she starte to get it out of the oven and place it on the wooden table.,

Alex saw her jump and couldn't help the snicker that escaped his mouth so quickly. with a smirk on his face he puts his hands up in defense.

"sorry, sorry. i didn't mean to scare you. just something smelled good so i came down." he walked over to the counter and sat down, eyeing her and admiring how she lost herself in her baking.

"If you need more ingredients to bake you can just right a list..you seem to enjoy it a lot?" he asked.

She continued to bake not knowing he was there. She liked to bak. She loved the smeel that was filling the room. She decided to make the icing from scratch. So she got out all the things she needed and started to wipe up the icing. She continued to make it as she turned to grab some food coloring to make it red her favorite color. When she say him in the doorway. She jumped scared for she did not know he was there.

in his study Alex was hell bent on burning down every paper he owned. the nerve of those guys made his eyes burn with hatred for them. crumbling up the papers swiftly he threw them into the fireplace, letting them burn and grabbing a near by phone to call his workers.

"what the hell do you think we do in this company!" he started going off, about finances and theft. he was on edge and would snap at almost anyone. "Well get the work to me today!." he slammed down the phone angrily and sat back in his chair, rubbing his temples and let out a frustrated sigh. then the smell of something filled the room.

"Cake?" he wondered aloud and trotted down tot he kitchen where he saw Iris baking. the sight almost amused him and he leaned on the door way watching her, a smirk on his face.

She was stunned by his kindness. as she watched him leave she got up and looked over the bandages. He seams to be a good person. She hought to herself. She went and thought to make him a treat for being nice to her. She started to bake him a nice litttle cake. She mixed up the batter and started to ppour it into a pan.

Alex saw her elbows and sighed slightly in relief. she wasn't hurt to bad so he simply cleaned out her wounds and then bandaged her up. looking up at her he had a ste jaw line and stepped back.

"Next time don't go sneaking into my room got it? and be careful." with a sigh he left the room, hands in his pockets and walked upstairs to pick up the things she had knocked over.

She was a bit taken back from him being so nice to her. She ifted her elbow ans should him her scrap she had gotten from he fall. It wasn't to bad but it was bleeding and she hoped it did no ook to bad for him. She looked at him and aited to see if she would get punished for being in is room. She looked down and waited to see what would happen.
