"I did not know that you two are friends. Thanks to that, I don't need to please this man a little more than I should." Gray's father joked while we were sitting around the table. Gray laughed at his Dad, Uncle Garmon."Dad, I didn't even know at first that you would be meeting him." Gray told him.Uncle Garmon laughed and poured wine on his glass. His eyes then landed at me. "Ariadne, beautiful lady. How come you don't have a lover yet?" He asked. I already met Uncle a few times and he is always asking me that question, and the answer is always the same too."I still don't have time for that, Uncle." I told him. I really don't have one since I still need to focus on myself and building my career. I still have time, there is no need to rush though. I was always being asked the same question, they can't believe that I don't have a boyfriend or when I said I never had one. I am still pure and innocent at those kinds of things and if I will, I need to make sure that the man I will be with
I closed my eyes as I felt the cold air from the beach. It was still the same as when we first went here, I could tell that I would wish to be back in this place, however the thing that makes me afraid are the people who were staying here, especially the staff. I haven't met or seen, or even heard a news from anyone or to Giovanni that those people who were plotting a plan to kill us were caught by the police.I am still conscious about my surroundings because of it. Giovanni knew that I was aware of what was happening earlier, but he did not even tell me a thing about it. I am not only scared about myself but for the people with me. They could have been hurt.I sighed on the thought that I will see those people suffering or worse dying in front of me, even the thought of it can kill me."Hey," I turned around when I heard someone on my back. I smiled when I saw Gray. "Where's Haria?" I asked him. He pointed at the hotel, maybe she was having a little talk to her future father-in-law.
"Let's go?" I asked Haria, who seems like doesn't want to go back to the city yet. Well, I am too but we need to go now. The two guys were already waiting for us outside. Uncle Garmon left an hour ago since he still needed to go somewhere else to meet someone. I don't want to go but I am eager to leave for the reason I don't want to think about anymore, we are leaving this place anyway. "Ah, I don't want to go back yet!" She said and growled. She was just sitting on the couch and didn't want to stand up. I already took our bags here and I am just telling her that we should go now. It's been 20 minutes and she still won't."We will have time for a rest again, let's try something new when that time comes." I told her, I always do this to her, telling her a future plan so she would be interested in leaving right away and do the plan I was saying. It's sometimes work and I hope it will at this time.Her face lightens and there is a smile on her face. She pouted and looked around first be
"Hello, Chanty." She went near me and gave me a hug. I was shocked at first because almost all of the customers were looking at us. I just hugged her back and patted her back. Well, I won't deny that I also missed her. It's been a month since I last saw this girl."What's up? Is anything good?" I asked. She gave me her silly smile and then looked at the counter where Nicko was. I don't get it, but Nicko was looking at me. I just smiled at him. He nodded his head and waved his hands a bit while doing something there. He is not a guard anymore, well, he is not really one but a substitute when the original one is out of vacation. He volunteered to do that in a week and when I came here I thought he was the guard who is in charge here. Now, he looks good in his uniform. Originally, he was one of the chefs. "The chef is back in the kitchen. And guess what? He is giving me free food now," she said, which made me laugh. This girl is really interested in food, that's why her cheeks were so cu
"My stomach hurts! I am so full!" Haria yelled. The other customers glanced at us because of her loud voice. "I was not mistaken, they were all sooo good!" She added."Hey, lower down your voice." Gray stopped her. She just rolled her eyes then faced me."You liked them?" She asked.I smiled and nodded my head. Even me, I can't stand it yet since my stomach seems to explode once I do. "Of course, I do." I told her. Giovanni ate a small amount of food, well, I did not see him eat so much. Maybe he was just so conscious about his body and he doesn't want to eat so much or he will be bloated. I never saw him exercise also, I wonder how many hours he takes doing that. I am being curious about this man and it's making me sick. "Hey, Giovanni. Are you still going to work today?" Haria then faced Giovanni and asked him. Giovanni looked at her with his cold eyes. "Yes." He said without any hesitation.Haria frowned. "Aren't you getting tired?" She asked. Gray held her hands that was above
Once we are done eating, Giovanni went inside the restaurant, on his office specifically to discuss some things with Ms. Georgia. I haven't seen her again since I did not get the chance to go here because of my busy schedule being the secretary of her boss in his own company. I want to greet her but it seems like she will not go outside her office until her duty is done."Ariadne, let's go there." Haria poke my arms when she wants to say something so I looked at what she was pointing at. She's telling me that we should go inside the mini garden inside this restaurant. I smiled and nodded at her, they created this for the customers to feel relaxed inside the venue. It's so nice here, and we really get to enjoy the view. "Wow, the flowers are so beautiful even though they are not taking a lot of sunlight now since it's becoming a rainy season." Haria said while she was admiring those beautiful flowers, they indeed are. "Yes, but they are getting the care they need though. The staff here
As soon as we are back at home, all we want to do is to lay in the bed and that's what we did. Haria after showering blew dried her hair and then slept. While Gray told us he needs to go somewhere.After some minutes of laying on the bed, I went outside my room and then sat on the couch with nothing on my mind. Giovanni let me go home for a while and just go back to work tomorrow. I think he also needs to do something else after that vacation. He kept on looking at his phone after the talk with Ms. Georgia so I thought there was an emergency. Gray on the other hand just brought us home and then left us again. I made sure the door is locked because I am still haunted by the thing that happened to us in the hotel. Even though we are already at home, we still need to make sure we are safe. Especially that we are all alone here.I decided to check on my phone, there was no message so I went to the blocklist. I don't really know why I had the urge to open it but my jaw dropped while my hea
What has been decided? What is on his mind right now? I want to know the details while I am here but no one wants to speak out the truth. My body froze after seeing the man in front of me walk towards the bed where I am. I could not stop thinking about what he would do after that decision he was talking about. Does he want to kill me now? "I wonder what he will feel after I tortured you with my own hands. Seems like you have a special place with his dead heart. He did save you many times, why is that? A secretary and boss relationship huh?" I don't really know what this man is talking about but the way he speaks, it's making me feel the chilling sensation inside me. I am still tied to this bed and I can't get up to run. It's true that death will come to us uninvited. Will he really torture me? Guess he will, I think he will not waste his time telling lies and doing nonsense. "You seemed clueless, lady, but let me tell you one thing." He stopped for a while and then leaned down to
