Lights? Check. Chairs and tables? Check. Tablecloths? Check. Utensils? Check. Staffs? Check. Foods and drinks? Uh-uh… not ready yet. The day had finally come and tonight, Audrey’s restaurant will officially start its five days pre-open. It was only the first day and the chef was already cracking her head too much to think of something marvelous to serve.
Audrey was sitting on the stool inside the chicken thinking about how to come up with the ‘best’ dish she would ever create if could. It wasn’t like she wasn’t prepared with the menu. The menu was fine and it wasn’t the problem. Nathan also hired one more chef to handle the daily menu every day in the case when she and Nathan weren’t around. The problem was, Shane said he was coming and Audrey still couldn’t decide a perfect dish to serve for him. The staff came four hours earlier to help prepare with the first day of th
“What happened?” Nathan asked when everyone left and there was only him and Audrey who was sitting on the couch. He was leaning on the kitchen door while looking at her carefully, making sure she was fine.Audrey sighed. She didn’t have the strength to start crying again. It could be because her tears were currently out of stock and there was no supply coming anytime soon yet, or she really finally learned her lesson after many attempts of giving up and well, coming back to him. Like a fool, she was tired of it. Not just saying tired but feeling tired of it. Everything about Shane.“It was nothing. I just found out some spicy gossip, and I was shocked. Can I stay at your place tonight? Well, we need to come up with some new recipe according to the customer’s feedback we had tonight,” she replied and gradually changed the topic. &ld
“Young master, Ms. Audrey hadn’t come home yet,” the housekeeper informed Shane when he asked about Audrey’s whereabouts in the morning when he couldn't find her anywhere.“Oh,” Shane glanced at his phone and tried to call Audrey again. He kept getting the same message saying g the phone couldn't be reached at all. “Do you have the number for the restaurant? I went there last night, and I was a little late to find anyone there.” The man scratched the back of his head and sat on the chair in front of the dining table.Due to some errands he needed to finished, Shane was late to come to the restaurant for the first day of Audrey's restaurant pre-open. The lights were already out and the door was locked when he came by after completing what he was doing. He wanted to surprise her but it was he who was surprised to know tha
“Audrey…”“Leave. There’s no place for you in here anymore,” Audrey said while looking at Shane’s desperate face as he knelt down in front of her with his ring. “Did you forget? I thought we were close enough when we were younger. I didn’t expect that wouldn’t actually remember how much I hate liars.” She went back to her previous as and crossed her legs. Audrey rested her back and started to rub her temples on each side. She had enough and it was already on its limit’s limit.Shane staggered when he tried to stand up. His face was showing how devastated he was. He was never been rejected by her before and it must have given him a real shock. “Audrey, please listen to me. I was a jerk-”“You are still a jerk, Shane. If
“Nate… you… you kissed me!” Audrey shrieked when she recovered from that mind-blowing gesture that her assistant did. “Are you nuts?!”Nathan who just also realized what he did, scratched the back of his head. He didn’t regret it, nor he wanted to regret it. In fact, he always wanted to do it, but he was holding it in. He knew that Audrey was a married woman, and she only considered him as her friend. It would be weird if he kissed her, but he actually did. “Ahem. I was so worried. You drove here all by yourself and knowing your condition didn’t help me calm for even a second,” he said as a matter of fact. He was not lying about being worried and the part where he couldn’t calm down was as real as the kiss they just had.Audrey looked away and uncon
“Ms. Audrey, should I invite the young master inside? The sky suddenly went so dark with rain clouds, it must be going to pour heavily tonight,” the housekeeper said while watching her eat dinner. It was already past 7 in the evening and Audrey decided to eat something before she continued reading the book that caught her interest.“Rebecca, the sky would definitely turn dark since it's been a few hours that the sun had set. As for the rain clouds, he should know better if it's going to rain or not since he had been standing there outside since the morning,” Audrey commented and kept on munching her food. Honestly, she was still angry with what Shane did but it was slowly subsiding as time went by. Even so, it wasn’t enough to just simply accept his apology. Well, even Shane would apologize to her every day, she could never have brushed off the fact that he lied to her face.
How convenient it was to scream while crying in the middle of the rain. Audrey felt both colds from the rainwater and the warmth coming from Shane’s embrace. It was like the scene filmed under the bad weather where the main characters were soaking wet while letting out all their pent-up emotions. Shane caressed her back, whispering comforting words to her but to no avail, she could even barely hear it. Audrey could only listen to the sound of melancholic melody brought by the rain and the anxious beats of her heart which seemed to waver, again.If life was a battle and the losers were those who suffer the most while the winners are those on top, enjoying the success and all… Audrey would be neither. She had almost everything that not most of the girls have but wanted: money, beauty, and fame (she was known in her field of the profession) but was she actually a winner in life? No, because she was not happy? Yes,
Audrey’s moans were like music to his ears. Shane dipped his tongue deeper into her entrance as he inserted his finger as well. They only did it once before and Audrey’s thing looked beautiful as it was when he hadn’t rammed its inside yet. The fact that he took her first was one of the reasons why he couldn’t let go of her. She was his responsibility the moment she offered her everything to him.“AHH!” She pulled his hair when he increased the speed of his moving finger. He took a peek at Audrey’s flushed face. She looked so damn hot with her mouth slightly open and her needy eyes looking at him. Looking at her with that face, Shane wanted to do her hard.He didn’t plan to waste any minute, so he let go of Audrey’s leg and pushed her on the wall. She looked at him biting her lips as she was trying to emit any sou
The bright sunlight illuminated the entire bedroom. The downpour was over and the low pressure must have probably left the area. Based on how the sun was shining radiantly, a nice day was expected ahead.Audrey felt sore all around her body. After she accepted Shane’s proposal last night, she remembered they had a lot of fun, but she could barely recall how she ended up on the bed with her pajamas on. She moved to her side to see if Shane was there but to her disappointment, he wasn’t. She thought that maybe he went downstairs to get her food just like the last time. Audrey decided to go back to sleep to have enough rest. Without her knowing, another storm was broiling.&
