ShantelleOne of my teams had already polished the French cuisine dishes. So I tasked her with leading and cooking at a restaurant specialized in that style of cuisine. I didn't have to worry since she, too, was a chef, but I did pay her a visit now and again to make sure she was doing a good job of orienting them.Yet those days did not go as planned. Gavin would enter the kitchen and kiss me out of nowhere when he had time. I was relieved that no one had seen us, but I wasn't sure.I wasn't sure whether they were simply ignoring us since Gavin was a recognized Casanova with power, so they didn't bother us at all.I was stressed because of Gavin, not because of my job. He was too daring, caressing me whenever he pleased and kissing me no matter where we were.When Gavin invited me to cook for him a few days ago, I assumed it would be our last meeting. He didn't disturb me after he finished his meal since he needed to do something else.The next day, I didn't see him for the whole

ShantelleAlmost a week had passed in the blink of an eye. And these days, I am often accompanied by Baron. Whenever I made new dishes, he was the one I frequently consulted, asking for ideas about making them more palatable and presentable so the customers would like them.Plus, I told him that some of the food that would be served in the hotel and resort comes from my own recipe. Well, no matter what happens, the business should run and make profits.As I got to know Baron, he wasn't as scary at all. When I secretly observed him, he was kind and gentle - the perfect contrast to Gavin's character. Moreover, he's a funny man and, more importantly, didn't do anything shady just to approach me. Like what he told me before, he doesn't seem interested in me. Nonetheless, we're good friends now.Aside from him, the other cooks consistently avoided me as if I were contagious or possessed with some illness that made them avoid me; otherwise, they'll become sick. I was baffled and perplexe

ShantelleHe was most likely just teasing me. ‘Gavin buying me clothes? I can't believe it.’After all, he enjoys teasing me. Nobody knows whether he meant it or not. I ignored his foolishness and pulled loose his grasp on my wrist, flinging it aside, before starting to move quickly. But before I could, he twisted around and came up with me."Like what I’ve told you. I'll get you some clothing,” he added as he grabbed my wrist again, causing me to come to a halt."Gavin, I don't care! I just do not want to share a room with you and sleep with you!" I yelled at him, huffing violently. I grew embarrassed as I became aware of the observers' intense attention. They must have heard what I said... ‘What would they say about us now?’"That won't be an issue. We're not going to sleep in any case."When he talked, he gave me his typical mocking smile, as if he was about to say something dreadful.‘What the heck is going on? Is it just me that believes there's something more to his words?’

ShantelleI pretended not to see Gavin and proceeded to leave. Even at this late hour, the rapid beating of my heart continued. I had no idea why I was suddenly struck with this strange sensation, and I didn't even know the cause. That was from such a different culture that I am unable to identify it. Now that I think about it, I should definitely go for a stroll by myself. I don't have the time or energy to attempt to figure it out.When I elevated my head, I had a better look at the gigantic rock formations that were out in the distance. After making my way ahead, I sat down. The most of the day has been spent by me moving about on foot and standing. I'm very exhausted. I'm aware that I'm behaving strangely, but the truth is that I can't even explain or comprehend myself."What exactly is the issue?"I decided to pick up a pebble and then finally toss it into the water. As I turned around and heard Gavin's voice coming from behind me, my whole body went stiff. I was almost st

ShantelleAs I felt someone kissing my face, I groaned, wrinkled my brows, and groggily woke up. I looked about groggily. The corner of my eyes opened slightly, and I saw Gavin's face, which was so near to mine. As soon as I became aware of it, I jerked my body away from his and scowled at him with eyes that seemed to be half-open. Tears were still clinging to the outside corners of my eyes, which made it difficult for me to see clearly.My body was racked with frustration, and my mind was full to the brim with dissatisfaction. "Why? What’s the matter? What time is it?"As I took a quick look at the window, I saw that the curtain wasn't drawn all the way back. As a result, I was able to see that portion was still dim. I had no doubt, I got the distinct impression that I had only just started to nod off when this guy abruptly jolted me awake.He responded by stating that it was four in the morning.As I heard his remark, an angry expression raced over my face, and I quickly shut my
