It was already past six when Audrey finally came back from her training and Nathan was waiting for her in the garden while a hotpot was simmering on the table in front of him, by his side Bunny was standing and he was the one looking over the hotpot.The minute she climbed out of the car, her phone beeped with a message and her lips curled into a smile when she saw who it was from.“Let’s have hotpot in the garden”This was a necessity for her and Vanessa, they both loved hotpot even if it was an Asian delicacy. While Audrey preferred veggies to non vegetarian dishes, Vanessa was the direct opposite. She loved her meat but they both enjoyed a well cooked hotpot. It was in the latter days when they became distant from each other that Audrey stopped eating it and now seeing Nathan asking her to eat hotpot with him, a lot of memories came rushing back.“Ma’am” the chauffeur called out to her and Audrey jolted back to reality, “are you okay? You look lost”“Sure” her lips stretched into

Audrey slowly opened her eyes and her forehead creased into a frown when she realized that a strong hand was snaked around her waist. For a moment she didn’t realize who it was until his voice filtered into her ears and her lips curled into a smile.Memories of what happened earlier became fresh in her memory and she couldn’t stop the smile from widening.Finally she was able to hold him on a tight leash after singing that song for him and now she believed that Nathan was no longer suspicious of her or Jakes. It was like killing two birds with one stone and the only thing she was praying about right now was the fact that Vanessa comes back soon and she can leave.“Why are you awake, princess?” Nathan rasped out as he opened his eyes, “what time is it?”“Get up sleepy head, it’s morning already and we have a long way to go today. I have to meet with Melissa and you have an important call to make”“How did you know that?” He asked, “I don’t remember telling you about my schedule”“Well,

Nathan was seated casually in the living room when his mum and Audrey walked up to him all dressed up and for the first time, he had a sad look on his face and the two women understood why he looked like that. This was the first time Audrey was going to leave after she came back and he was not taking it lightly.“Baby” his mum called out and he turned his attention to the voice, “ we are ready to leave now” she added.“Can I have a word with Nessa, alone?” Nathan asked.“Sure” Mrs Hernandez replied before making her way towards the porch while Audrey went to sit beside him and before she could say anything, he pulled her into his embrace.“Are you okay?” She had to ask, “do you feel sick or something?”“Will you be back?”“What?” She wasn’t sure why he was asking that but for the first time, Audrey could see the fear radiating from him.“Will you come back after the exhibition?” He asked again, “I fear that you may not come back Nessa and I don’t think I ever want to live without you,

It was already past eleven when Audrey threw his door open and slowly walked into the room. The fragrance of Nathan Hernandez was lingering all over the room and she couldn’t help but smile, everything in the room reminded her of Nathan and the smile on her face intensified. His pictures were hung everywhere on the wall and his room was spick and span, typical Nathan.The room was very spacious and beautiful, it had a royal demeanor and it felt welcoming.“Are you looking for something ma’am?” A voice asked behind her and she turned to see Arya standing outside the door with some cleaning equipments“You want to clean the room?” Audrey inquired while walking up to her.“Yes, I always clean it twice a day. It is the madam’s orders”“Even if no one stays here? Isn’t it too tiring?”“Of course not” Arya answered, “this is the most easiest work in this house, the boss is not here and I don’t have to do extra works too”“Hmmmm” Audrey nodded, “I see”She slowly walked back into the room an

As Bruno drank in the sight of the crowd, it was not a shocker that the fifty thousand hall was filled to capacity, this was Avanti’s exhibition after all and evryone around the world loved Avanti clothing brand. Mrs Hernandez personally chose him to be the anchor for tonight and he looked good in his blue handmade suit from Avanti brand and his hair was slicked back in a fine detail which made him look extra alluring and dominating.
