Chapter 89
Droplets of sweats started to soak Audrey’s face. The car’s air conditioner was working fine and the humidity was not the usual since it was getting late, the temperature was dropping low. But oh, her hands were tightly grasping on the steering wheel, and maneuvering the car in the middle of the broad highway was scaring the hell out of her.
“Come on, Auddie. Breath…” Nathan said and shook his head. It had been thirty minutes since they left the estate, but they were still on the road when it supposedly didn’t take at least twenty minutes to reach the restaurant.
“I’m breathing, Nate. Don’t talk to me,” she responded and took a let out a deep breath. Audrey was aware she was holding her breath all along, but she hated to admit it. Not, when she realized how full of herself she was before she got to settle o

The third day of the pre-open was busier despite having fewer people coming in to dine. A piece of sweet instrumental music was played in the background, giving off a pleasant vibe to everyone inside the building. There were a couple of waitresses and a waiter who kept running the errands between the guests and the chefs in the kitchen. They moved in a calm and calculated manner just like how Nathan trained them before but the efficiency was of high quality, making sure that everyone they served enjoys their brief stay as they savored the dishes on their plates.There were only an hour and a half left before the closing of the restaurant. Some guests who came first left one after another after a small chat with Audrey who occasionally had to leave the kitchen if she had to present herself by the customer’s request. Nathan would be in her place as she spent a minute or two with the guests, though the head chef personall

“Cheers!”The joyous laughter scattered in the air outside in the gazebo where a barbecue party was being held. The table was filled with sizzling, barbecued meat bathing in sweet and spicy sauce specifically made by the head chef and also topped with fresh lettuce and sliced tomatoes on a plate, beer cans and wine bottles, a bowl of fruit salad prepared by Nathan on the last minute for those who prefer to have desserts and toasted bread though most of them didn’t have any idea who put a plateful of bread, not that anyone asked about it.“This is fun!” Audrey exclaimed while holding up her wine glass and later emptied it. “We should party like this from time to time,” she added and joined Nathan who was busy barbecuing the meat, leaving the empty glass on the table. Since th

The uncomfortable silence halted when Audrey’s voice rumbled. She couldn’t take off her eyes away from Nathan who was holding a box in his right hand while the other was snaking around the slim waist which belonged to a woman she never saw before. And words were harder to say when Audrey saw their lips locking on each other. She almost blamed herself for ruining their moment as they stopped what they were doing when she came out of the door, surprised.“Uh. It was you. I thought it was some pervert messing in front of my business at this hour. You guys can continue but I suggest you get a room,” Audrey said and shook her head as she walked past them. She initially went outside to see Shane and had no intention to blast Nathan’s romance. “Nate, there’s enough space in the locker room or you could also leave the food and go check in on some hotels. Seriously, you don’t have to ea

Audrey was wondering about whether to feel thrilled about the idea of knowing Nathan’s secret love affair or to focus on the butterflies in her stomach because Shane’s face was too close to hers, and she could feel his breath. She wanted to know what was going on between her assistant and the sexy blonde whose eyes were filled with joy and a little disappointed while looking at Nathan so, despite the ‘opportunity’ to cuddle with Shane in such a situation, Audrey tried her hardest to be calm and watched the scene in front of her.It wasn’t her thing to be nosy, but she knew Nathan very well or maybe not but the years they spent together made her realize his ‘dark side’. Yes, the gentle and compose Nathan also had a side which Audrey observed about him. The man was extremely strict even to himself when it comes to his principle. And based on how he treated the woman earlier, Audrey was

“Hey, baby. Don’t scare me like this!” Shane exclaimed with panic in his voice. He took Audrey in his arms and rushed her outside the building. He was careful in holding her as he walked towards his car parked a few meters away from the restaurant.‘Wow. I don’t know if he’s aware I’m faking it, or that he really thought I fainted,’ Audrey thought. She slightly opened her eyes to take a peek at the actor whose face was filled with concern.The sound of the car door opening made her closed her eyes tightly. Her back landed on the soft seat, and she felt him fixing buckling the seat belt on her. When she heard the door closed, she opened her eyes and saw Shane outside… with Nathan.“What happened to her?” The blond asked Shane while trying to wa

“Thank you for tonight,” the staff said in a chorus before leaving for their homes. Nathan smiled at them and close the door when they were gone.“Take a seat,” he told the woman who was standing silently in the corner. Nathan was worried about Audrey but Francesca’s presence put him in no position to tend his boss, especially when Shane was also there to snatch his chance away. “Perché sei qui? (Why are you here?)” He asked her when the blonde settled down. He sat on a chair across her.“Per parlare con te (To talk to you),” Francesca replied while bowing her head. She looked pale and sickly which he didn’t notice until the other guy told him.If it were five years ago, Nathan would have been jumping in joy to see her but a lot of things happ

It was almost midnight when Audrey and Shane arrived at the villa. The lights were still on and the young miss felt bad for any housemaids who had to stay up to make them wait for them to come back. She sighed which caught Shane’s attention, so he gave her a reassuring look although she wasn’t saying anything.“Are you worried about someone else while I’m here with you right now?” He asked her while parking his car in the garage.She only smiled a little at him while waving her hands ‘no’. She admitted that she was glad about his behavior though it might be silly of her to think it was sweet when he minded those trivial things especially when it concerns someone of the opposite sex.Audrey didn’t have her purse with her but her semi-broken phone she had in her p

The trip to Nathan’s place was quiet. Francesca dare not to talk about anything while inside the car and the man was glad about it. He didn’t like the idea of letting his ex-lover to his apartment, but he already agreed to talk with her, and going back to his words was not his thing.“Entra (Come in),” Nathan invited the woman when he opened the door to his flat. It was clean as usual and no speck of dust could be seen.“Hai un bel posto (You have a nice place),” Francesca commented as she roamed her eyes around. A smile appeared on her lips while she reminisced some memories of the time she shared with the man who was now cold towards her.“Grazie. Ma apprezzo se non ti abitui e te ne vai non appena il cosiddetto discorso di cui parlavi è finito (Thanks. But I
