Day 3 Detente

I sit back, leaning comfortably in my chair knowing I have a few minutes to relax as the pasta I put on the fire starts to soften. El dente, the perfect way to prepare it I muse to myself.
I take a deep breath just trying to put aside the tensions of the day, Russia, China, 5g technology, can you trust them, can you not... ugh why am still thinking about it.

I slowly close my eyes and raise my wrist to my mouth and command it, "hey watch, play me some music." "Playing music now mr. secretary" it kindly replies, and some music slowly fades in over the speakers.

as I finally start to relax, suddenly I hear a buzz, the phone is ringing in silent mode, perhaps even more irritating then the normal copyrighted melodies. "Yes" In reply, slightly irritated at this disruption to my first calm moment of the day. "Secretary of state Pasner here, Who is this?"

After a short delay, a voice speaks from over the line, with a bit of a funky accent,
"Dear secretary, I hope this is not an inconvenient time..."
Flustered that I didn't get a response to my initial question I ask again, "Who is this?"
"My apologies, this is commisioner Yi Yang Wu, we met briefly at the UN meeting."
A couple of thoughts rush through my head. How did they get my number? What more information Do they have on me! Do they know where I live? Did we get hacked???

Desperately I try to open my laptop to contact a security operative, "Oh eh, hi mr Wu, ehm yes ofcourse, ofcourse" I stammer. "sorry I did not recognize your voice over the phone"

Again after a small delay the voice from the other side replies, "I guess you must have forgotten"
I did forget, I see so many people, who was this person on the other end of the line, they could be anyone, anywhere! Frantically I try to get setup with the laptop to get everything running. Where is that bloody emergency contact.

"No no, I do remember" I stammer "I just had a busy day and..."
The voice replies "Clearly you do not remember, or did you not notice I'm a woman"

A moment of daze set in, what, a woman?
the voice says, "you gave me your card? with your number"
OH right, "RIGHT I say, I am so sorry, my god you nearly gave me a heart attack!, I was thinking how did you find my number, and who is this mr. Wu, thank god, phew. that was scary"

The distant voice lets out a giggle, "ah, not so sure about your security measures mr Pasner" she continues to giggle, smirking I reply "well, I mean, if someone calls your private number from a foreign country, thats notable right" feeling a bit more relaxed I slump back into my chair.
after a bit longer of a pauze then before the voice replies:
"Well we do have your number on record, ofcourse, mr secretary.
But thats not why i called you today, I just wanted to...."

"TSSSJJJJJ!!!!" a sudden loud sound comes from the other side of the house,
I jump up, shouting out "What the hell?" and slowly walk in the direction of the sound,
the voice goes "Is everything alright Secretary?" "Hello? Helloooo?"
I keep walking as I get closer the sound gets louder with every step.
What is this? is it still a ruse, are they triangulating my position in the house with the phone?
I turn the corner and the pan is sizzling.
boiling over, I totally forgot.

"Damnit!, ugh bloody fucking noodles"

the voice replies, "excuse me?"
Shit I think I'm still on the phone!!!
"Oh no no not you! I, ugh, the Pasta I was making." I stammer.
"I was making pasta, The butler usually cooks but he was sick, and my wife is out of town, and so I had to cook, but... yeah so the noodles they overcooked, and now..."

another giggle from the other side,
"well mr Pasner, I think you may need to take a rest."
"but first perhaps I can be of assistance, we Chinese know a thing or two about noodles."
I laugh, "well yeah maybe I could use a hand hahaha, and yes a break would be great too."

"well then let me teach you noodles 101 mr Pasner, it will be my pleasure."
I reply "cool so how do we start?"
