ログインAnna is getting jealous it's starting to look...unnatural. You're supposed to be her bestie! Hey, if you liked this chapter, Add to library please. If you didn't, I'm sorry and I'll do better next chapter.
She really hoped that was not the case. Shaking her head, she ignored them both and turned to Carlos. "Did we come very early or...is she not coming anymore?""She will be here soon. She's texted." He said. Anika then turned to the MD. "I want some alone time. And I don't want to see their faces to my guest. This meeting is...secrete."Lark frowned instantly. "Meeting? What meeting?" But she gave him no reply and was led upstairs by the MD himself. When the door shut, she eased herself to be able to breath well. Carlos noticed something was wrong but he just thought it was a normal reaction to what had happened. Anika on the other hand, she couldn't help herself. Her lungs twisted in a hard knot, making it feel like she was rubbing out of air to breath. She was not going to panic, no. They will not rush her out of there because of her stupid panic attack! Then, she thought about him. His voice was carefully saying inside her head. "Slow and steady breath," "How many object can you
Anna suddenly started to laugh. "What is the meaning of this? Did you hire this clown just to play madam exclusive guest? That's just pathetic of you, Anika."This brought a frown to her friends face. She did not understand why Anna was being kinda rude to her. "What's your point? If it were this easy to fake getting an exclusive reservation, why haven't you ever done it before?""Because I'm not mentally ill like you've become." She replied."I feel bad for Lark. He deserves so much better..." Her nose crunched in disgust. Anika frowned because this was the first time she'd noticed this: first Lark had mentioned Anna so casually and now, she was talking about him, spewing nonsense that he deserved more than her?"So tell me then. Do you think he deserves to be with someone like you?" With her arms folded beneath her breast, she eyed her from head to toes. Her eyes came back to meet Anna's gaze, catching a sinister smirk on her face. "Of course he does. Unlike you, I actually care a
Rufus stepped forward. "Get on your knees right now and pay respect to miss over here!" He ordered. Then ran over to Anika's side. "Miss, welcome. We're so sorry for this mess." He turned to Anna again, "are you deaf! Get on your knees and apologize right now! No sir, I'm the manager. Let me discipline her right now." He was saying to the MD as he tried to stop him. He did not understand half of what was going on right now, but if they said she was suddenly rich, then he would believe that. Her mother in law was rich actually, wasn't she? But Anika did something that shocked him, and everyone else. Anna felt her knees wobbling. Anika....was...was...rich now? Then Anika said. "I think that's a good idea." To Rufus. "Why don't we start from there?" Anna's eyes widened, her mouth falling apart from shock. The rest of the other staff couldn't even raise their heads up, afraid they would be called to fall on their own knees too. Anna blinked, watching her friend. Their eyes actually me
He asked and she nodded. "Good. Let's keep up the good work.""Did you also promise her the same thing? Did you sleep with all of them too?" She scowled at him.Rufus just ignored it. These idiots didn't know that he had no power to make any of them managers or assistants. In fact, he'd even put in words to hire people with experience from outside, instead of using any of the waitresses. His hand gripped her neck tight. He'd checked to see they were at a hidden place away from the cameras. "Keep your voice down, you imbecile. Try to reach your dumb friend. She can't lose this job, you know how badly she needs it."When he let her go, she was coughing and gasping for air, trying to catch her breath. Anika had always been lucky. Even when she was miserable, somehow people still wanted to help her. Why would he care about her not losing her job, what was his fucking business, if Anika has decided to throw away her future!Rufus straightened, then assembled everyone as they went to welc
Lark frowned. He had hoped Anna was just trying to play with his intelligence. Was an executive of Delacroix really going to be at the restaurant? He shrugged off that thought. Better not to tell Tori about it, else she would rush to tell their mother and he wasn't ready for any of their drama. "If I wanted to meet with any executives, I'll meet with them on my own terms." He muttered to himself. Now, his priority was finding Anika.From the tracking device signals, he'd found out she was at some luxurious hotel about an hour's drive from home. "I've let you have your fun, Anika. Now, I'm bringing you back home." He got dressed, then clung on to his phone. Anika did not even guess right when Carlos said she should get ready for the people coming over. She realized their logo as soon as they stepped in, a bouquet of purple flowers. It was always embroidered in their outfit, no matter the color of their polo shirt. And their face caps. Delacroix actual staff members! But from their f
Anika frowned at that message. She had been texting and calling Anna since then, but she didn’t pick up. Now that it was late, she wanted to talk?She just tossed the phone onto the bed and sighed. Tomorrow was another day; she would see her then.The next morning, as early as dawn, Carlos’s call had woken her up. Groggily, she managed to say, “Carlos? What is it?”Damn it, did this man not even sleep at all? Normally, Anika was always up by 4 a.m., busy with chores before then getting ready to resume work. But she felt that life should be put behind her now that she was rich.“Please open the door to your room,” Carlos said. Anika’s eyes widened. What?She slowly made her way to the door to let him in. Carlos was well dressed in his formal attire, hair neatly groomed, and his shoes shining clean. “Why are you not dressed yet?” He frowned as he saw her in her nightdress, with her hair scattered and her looking half asleep.Scratching her head, she wet her lips, biting on her lower lip
