Luckily for Benita’s friend, roommate, or whatever she was, she wasn’t home when we stepped inside the apartment. I had already prepared a speech in my head for her, and I was honestly looking forward to delivering it.

Benita, however, didn’t have much to pack. In fact, she had very little to her name.

Seeing that only made me angrier at the way that so-called friend had manipulated her under the guise of helping.

Before we left, Benita insisted on writing a thank-you note, even after I told he

  • His Private Chef   Chapter 151

    I expected Adrian to show up at my place, just like the last time.Maybe not with a peace offering this time, but something. Anger. A warning. Punishment. Anything. But nothing like that happened.One day passed. Then two.No messages. No calls. Nothing.On the morning of the third day, I finally asked Benita.“Has Adrian asked about me?”She shook her head.“Is he acting weird or anything?” I pressed.She gave me a look. “If you’re asking whether he’s affected by your absence, I’ll be honest… no.”I didn’t think it would get to me like that.“He’s actually been cool with everyone like usual,” she added. “Seems perfectly fine to me.”I frowned.Benita just laughed and walked away.I stayed home a little longer out of stubbornness, but by afternoon, I got tired of it. I missed everyone, and I wasn’t about to stop showing up just because of Adrian.Even though a quiet voice in my head kept calling me out on my own lie.Because the truth?I was going to see him.The moment I got to work

    I dropped the flowers on the counter and found myself walking straight toward Adrian’s office.By the time I realized what I was doing, I was already pushing the door open. He didn’t look up. He didn’t even acknowledge that someone had walked in. Like I wasn’t worth the glance.I sighed and took a seat anyway.“Adrian… it’s not what it looks like.”He kept typing on his keyboard, completely ignoring me.“Benita and I just ran into him yesterday at the store. He asked for my number, and I didn’t give it to him, I swear. I didn’t even know he was going to send flowers.”Still nothing. It was like my words weren’t even reaching him.“Adrian,” I called again.This time, he slowly looked up. His expression gave nothing away.“Why are you explaining this to me?” he asked.That caught me off guard.“Oh…”The word slipped out because the question left me speechless. I didn’t even know why I felt like I owed him an explanation.“I just thought you’d want to know,” I muttered.“I don’t.”His to

    Adrian was the one who broke the kiss, and for a second, neither of us moved.My lips were still tingling, my heart racing like I had just done something reckless… because I had.I opened my mouth to apologize, but before I could say a word, he placed a finger gently against my lips and shook his head.That single gesture shut me up completely.The rest of the show passed in a blur. I wasn’t even sure what songs were performed anymore. All I could think about was him, the way his lips had felt against mine: warm, firm, and addictive.My mind kept replaying it over and over again, and it didn’t help that Adrian was such a good kisser.I didn’t even know a kiss could feel like that.We kept stealing glances at each other for the rest of the night. Nothing was said, but everything felt… different.Even when he was driving me home, the silence between us wasn’t empty. It was heavy.Unlike the way I talked non-stop on the way there, I was completely quiet now. For once, I had nothing to sa

    I talked about that concert so much that by the time the day finally came, Benita was practically thanking God.“Finally,” she threw her hands in the air, “some peace and quiet around here.”I laughed, already dressed hours ahead of time, pacing around my apartment in an attempt to contain my excitement.The moment Adrian texted that he was outside, I grabbed my bag and rushed out.He was leaning against the driver’s door, his attention on his phone. But the second he looked up, his eyes darkened slightly as they took me in.Blue rugged jeans, the kind with more rips than fabric. A black tank top that clung just enough. On my feet were clean white sneakers that tied the whole look together.He exhaled slowly. “You really like showing skin.”“It’s a concert,” I replied. “The lighter you dress, the better. There’ll be dancing, singing, jumping, and sweating.”His gaze dropped to my jeans. “It looks like you own these in different colors.”I grinned. “I do.”He took a step closer.Then a

    Everyone who walked into Adrian’s office came out looking defeated. Apparently, he was in a mood, and not a quiet one. He was snapping at staff left and right.It wasn’t until George went in to update him about the new inventory and came out looking like he had just survived a storm that he walked straight up to me.“You need to go in there and fix whatever is going on with him,” he said.“Why do you think I can do that?”“Because you’re the only one here who doesn’t look afraid of him.”Marcy quickly added, “Please go. Before the day gets worse for everyone, and somehow, this becomes your fault.”I frowned. “My fault?”“Yes,” she said firmly.I sighed. “I’m not promising anything, but I’ll try.”“That’s enough,” George said immediately.When I walked into Adrian’s office, he didn’t look up.“I thought I made it clear–”He stopped mid-sentence when he realized it was me. His tone shifted instantly.“What do you want?”I leaned casually against the door.“You’re free to yell at me,” I

    “You know what I’m asking,” I said, turning slightly toward him. “Like… investments you’d venture into. Things you’d buy. Maybe a trip to the Bahamas with your girlfriend. Stuff like that.”Adrian’s eyes lifted to mine slowly.“Is that you asking if I have a girlfriend?”I didn’t even hesitate. “Do you?”A quiet chuckle left him. “There are certain questions you shouldn’t be asking your boss.”I snorted. “You’re not my boss. I didn’t apply for this job. That’s how it works.”“But you work for me,” he countered.“You’re forcing me to work for you,” I corrected. “Big difference.”That corner-of-the-lips smile appeared again.“Well,” he said, “since you’re so curious… no. I don’t have a girlfriend.”I blinked, genuinely surprised. “Why? You’re too good-looking to be single.”His eyes flicked to mine. “Do you have a boyfriend?”“No,” I said quickly, then narrowed my eyes. “Wait. I know why you asked that.”“Good. Now you see how wrong that reasoning is.”“So why are you single?” I pressed

    After I walked away from Liam on the rooftop, I didn’t look back. But God, I felt his eyes burning holes into my back until the elevator doors closed. The music, the lights, the people, they all blurred into static noise. Inside, I was a tangled mess of want, fury, and confusion.I didn’t even noti

    When I stepped back into the ballroom, I pretended like nothing had changed. But inside me, everything had.Sophia caught my eye immediately, her look brimming with curiosity and teasing smirks. I gave her a blank expression, silently begging her not to say a word.She didn’t. And I was grateful.S

    The sheets were soft, the room quiet, but my thoughts kept circling back to his mouth on mine. The way his hands had held my waist, like he needed to feel something real. That kiss.Our third kiss wasn’t about heat or curiosity anymore. It was desire, raw and undeniable and neither of us was brave

    Liam’s gaze hit me like a slap.Sharp. Cold. Furious.For a second, I forgot how to move, and how to breathe. I was still bent slightly forward, Mason’s hands on my waist, my body caught in the rhythm… until It wasn’t. I straightened so fast I nearly stumbled, heat rushing to my face as I pulled aw
