Yareli was determined to see the look of humiliation plaguing Tamara’s face. However, the outcome was destined to disappoint her.Tamara flashed a faint smirk as she watched Yareli and Rowena put on their act. Seeing the two initially repulsed Tamara as she knew nothing good would come from their combined presence, but now, she changed her mind. There was no harm in spectating a show between two vipers.Not getting the desired reaction from Tamara, Yareli frowned bitterly.Even Rowena sensed things were going awry. Hatred and hostility lurked deep within her eyes as she glanced at Tamara. Yet, that vanished in the next second when she spoke with a gentler tone, “Mrs. Lynch, this must be Young Mr. Lynch’s new home, huh? It’s my first time here.”At once, Yareli’s attention snapped over to Tamara. “Go, Tamara. Show Rowena around the place. She’s a guest, so I expect you to treat her with the utmost welcome.”Tamara raised a brow, but Rowena had already shot onto her feet and taunted
Despite getting yelled at by Yareli, Tamara seemed unfazed and merely smirked.“Jeez. I’m only going to be in the Lynch family for a short time, so why do I have to put up with this bullshit?” Tamara thought while ascending the stairs, leaving behind Yareli and Rowena with their jaws agape.Unable to hold back her anger, Rowena shrilled, “How can she treat you this way? Don’t be upset, Mrs. Lynch. Otherwise, you might fall ill, and your son will surely worry when he finds out.”Yareli’s face darkened due to her gushing anger. A sinister aura formed in her eyes after listening to Rowena, and she thought, “That Tamara is a horrid bitch! She’s taking advantage of her baby, who bears the Lynch family’s blood, to behave arrogantly! Just wait, Tamara! Once the baby’s born, I’ll make you pay dearly!” “Let’s get out of here!” Yareli commanded before storming out the door with Rowena in tow.After getting into their car, Rowena eyed the older woman cautiously and decided to test the water
Benjamin’s lips curved. “Don’t be so nervous, Margot. I’m just curious about this particular mixologist. She only mixes three alcoholic beverages in one day, but each has a unique flavor. How does she do it?” That elicited a proud smile from Margot, who replied, “I’m not telling you. It’s a trade secret!”“Well, why won’t you let me meet her in person?” asked Benjamin, who toyed with the phone in his hands.“Do you think you can just meet anyone as you please?” Margot scoffed, assuming Benjamin’s interest in Tamara was because he wanted to steal the latter. Hence, she did not bother to soften the blow of her words. “Mr. Inkling, I suggest you give up on trying to see her. My mixologist is loyal to 1999. She won’t go anywhere else.” Benjamin’s smile deepened as he clicked on his WhatsApp to text someone. He wrote: “That mixologist’s here again. Aren’t you coming over to see her?”At the same time, Sebastian’s phone vibrated in the office on the top floor of ST Corporation. He pic
Sebastian was rendered speechless.“The audacity of this woman!” he thought.The elevator doors clinked shut, shutting out Sebastian’s cold gaze.Tamara did not think anything was off. 1999 was a bustling business, after all. Many of the top dogs in Londsville would frequent the bar.As the heir of the Lynch family, it was not odd for Sebastian to be seen in a place as such.Tamara reached Margot’s office and bid her farewell. Just as she was about to leave 1999, her phone buzzed from receiving a text.As she was unable to take calls, Tamara never missed any texts.Margot had texted her.MargotIsAdorbz: “Tammy, we just got a new wine sent in. Do you want to take a look at them in the wine cellar?”“New wine?” Tamara thought.As a mixologist, her job did not only entail mixing drinks. She was required to screen wines by examining their production dates and alcohol concentration to ensure they were mellow.If it were found that the wine had not aged as well as it should have,
Tamara headed straight into the wine cellar to avoid Sebastian.However, just as she got inside, she heard footsteps falling behind her.“What on earth is going on? Did someone follow me? Who could it be?” she thought.The first person that came to mind was one of the servers. However, every server in 1999 knew about her, so they would have greeted her instantly.Since the person following her did not do so, she deduced that they must not be one.Tamara turned back to take a quick look and caught a glimpse of the person’s outfit. It was someone in a black suit.If she was not mistaken, Sebastian had been wearing a black suit when she saw him just moments before. Could he be the one following her?A trace of surprise flashed across her eyes. She eyed the room full of alcohol around her and figured that if Sebastian knew that she frequented a place like this, he would definitely forbid her from 1999 in the future.She was pregnant, after all.Tamara texted one of the servers on
When the maid noticed the puzzlement in Tamara’s gaze, she hurriedly asked, “Young Mrs. Lynch, is everything alright?”Tamara shook her head. She knew that the maids had just come in the day before, so it was likely that they had been instructed to take special care of her as she was pregnant.Eventually, her confusion was dispelled. She drank the milk offered to her without a second thought.The maid let out a sigh of relief at that.After Tamara emptied the glass, she passed it back to the maid. The maid accepted the empty glass and left.Once Tamara arrived upstairs, an email notification popped up on her computer.The email read: “I’ve received the scented tea leaves.”Tamara broke out into a small smile.She had developed the scented tea in question for over 2 months. It had miraculous healing properties that catered specifically to insomnia. If it hadn’t been for everything that had happened to her family recently, she knew that her scented tea would have been flying off
Tamara was rendered speechless upon hearing Sebastian’s cold tone.“He’s a really capricious man,” she thought.After they were done with dinner, Tamara got up to head upstairs.She did not want to spend another minute in the man’s presence if she could help it.Sebastian’s face darkened significantly. “What’s wrong with that woman?” he thought.Tamara had pulled all sorts of tricks on him to become his wife, yet she acted as if she couldn’t be bothered to even look at him.The divorce agreement they had signed earlier crossed his mind.Sebastian pursed his lips and wondered if he had misunderstood Tamara’s intentions.“Could she have been forced to marry me?” he wondered.Back in her room, Tamara replied to the email she had received. She wrote: “Do provide feedback once tested.”After that, she made her way to the balcony. The sun was setting at that moment, and the golden rays shone directly on her face, enveloping her in a faint, dazzling glow. It accentuated her delica
Sebastian caught Tamara in his arms. She could feel how firm the man’s body was, and the fire in his eyes frightened her. She hurriedly tried to steady herself but found that her legs felt like jelly. She couldn’t stand properly, no matter how hard she tried.She ended up tightening her grip on Sebastian.“Let go!” Sebastian said with a low growl. Tamara could see a vein popping out of his forehead.She was stunned. “What’s up with him?” she thought.At that moment, she instantly snapped back to her senses. Having just realized how precarious their position seemed, her expression stiffened.In a short few seconds, Tamara’s face flushed a bright red. She hurriedly loosened her grip on Sebastian’s arm, backing away from it as if it had burnt her. Her small hand began to tremble.She managed to compose herself and hurriedly bowed in apology.She hadn’t touched him on purpose! She had no idea why she ended up grabbing his arm. It had only been a reflex for her to grab something sinc
