A mid-summer night hare (20)

Emmy yells from the kitchen, “Hey, my dear. Come over. I am done preparing the food. My hubby is coming back real soon. Try this éclair!”

Hareta comes out and she is shocked. There is so much food on the table, all looking good. She asks, “Emmy, Did you make all these yourself?”

Emmy says, “Yes, I made all these.”

Hareta says, “What kind of desserts is this? It’s my first time seeing it.”

Emmy says, “This is éclair. That is Stollen. You would love this Stollen stuff. Try this too. I don’t really like peas.”

Hareta tries a bite. Oh gosh, it is Michelin star standard. No wonder so many men fall for Emmy. Emmy is a good chef. Hareta feels a bit inadequate but quickly she picks herself up and plots to find out any dark secrets or major weaknesses of this frenemy. Afterall, it’s just some cookery skills. Hareta can do it too if she tries. In fact, she would steal anything Emmy owns, and then do it even better. Stealing and hacking are what you need to get ahead in societies, nothing else. Emmy is an entrepreneur, steal her idea; Emmy is a banker, steal her job; Emmy is in business, steal her clients; Emmy is pretty, steal her looks; Emmy is creative, steal her intellectual properties; Emmy is married, steal her husband; Emmy is popular, steal her friends; Emmy is liked by many, steal her admirers; Emmy is in a relationship, steal her boyfriend; Emmy is smart, steal her answers; Emmy writes well, steal her Harvard admission essays; Emmy dresses well, steal her clothes. Steal everything. Living Emmy’s stolen life is so awesome!
