It happened. As soon as Gordon secured the new deal with that pharmaceutical company, Dawn’s business phone blew up with congratulatory messages, all wanting to interview the elusive businessman. After his net worth doubled in a few hours, he was the hottest man in town. Jenny and Gordon couldn’t stop the persistent press from camping outside the office building. Thankfully, security was tight, and Dawn managed to escape, driving off in his tinted sedan. He had never been happier about the real estate investment in this city. Even if those news reporters gave chase, they couldn’t enter the tightly secured luxury condominium many other highly-profiled individuals lived in.
It was four in the afternoon when he arrived at the penthouse. Aqua was studying the ingredients in the fridge when the door opened. She looked surprised at the time as Dawn dashed in with a radiant grin.“Come on,” he smirked. “Let’s go on a date. I reserved a roRelated chapters
Dear Don Aqua Fights Back
Aqua was cooking up a storm in the kitchen for her VVIP guest, due to arrive in an hour. At first, nobody knew who this VVIP guest was and why the special order seemed so home-cooked. However, the smarter ones put two and two together after Jericho informed the kitchen crew how Aqua would spend an hour or two away from the kitchen during the dinner rush.“So this is why you were wearing rouge the whole time!” the snarkiest part-timer sidled up to Aqua with a hushed whisper. “Didn’t peg you for that sort of woman. How much pocket money does he pay you? Do you think he’d like brunettes like me?”Aqua didn’t like the new part-timer. Neither did the chef nor anyone in the kitchen crew. The service, security staff and special staff hated her because she constantly got in the way of everyone’s jobs. However, nobody bothered entertaining her. Jericho made it very clear this detestable part-timer was here for personal reasons but not
Dear Don Flower Language
Back in the days when he was still a suave and badass mafia boss, Dawn always sent his assistant to purchase flowers and make restaurant reservations on his behalf. He never knew what sort of flowers they chose because everything looked like a rose to him. They simply came in different colours, and Dawn never bothered to learn about flowers.Here he was today as a small CEO of an office with barely any employees, choosing a bouquet for the love and saviour of his life. He had no idea there were so many types of flowers and spent ten minutes browsing the different flowers, reading the names of every sign. Who knew that not every flower was a rose? These flowers came with specific meanings, and even a different colour could convey a very different meaning. He thought the yellow blooms matched Aqua’s hair colour until the florist educated him about the meaning.“Although yellow is normally a cheerful colour, yellow carnations, in particular, represent rejection or
Dear Don Be Mine
Staring at the two words in Dawn’s chicken scrawl, Jericho inhaled deeply. He didn’t know if he should dropkick his dumb friend or strangle the life out of him. Either way, it was good that Dawn came to him before he could present this bouquet of unique flowers to Aqua.“Have you completely lost all your brain cells?” the gay man hissed. “Be mine? You couldn’t come up with better words? Are you a Neanderthal?! You’re so lucky you showed me this before giving it to Aqua. This is no way to confess to a lady!”As expected, Dawn received an earful from Jericho, who looked like he was an inch away from jumping over that counter and stabbing him with an ice pick. However, the millionaire refused to believe reciting Shakespeare’s poetry would impress the mermaid, who had just finished learning long division.“Then what else would you have me write? She can barely do elementary Math. Her reading skills are slightly a
Dear Don Kiss Me
Dawn had finished about half the bottle of aged whisky that Jericho had brought in. However, the nerves did not disappear, and he was still very sober. Time passed very slowly when he was alone, and the tempo of the music playing did not match his heartbeat.Two almost inaudible knocks were at the door, but Dawn heard it in his hyper-vigilant state. The CEO glanced at his watch and noticed it was about time. Straightening himself, he stood up and opened the door.“Hey,” he greeted, turning into putty when he saw Aqua holding the bouquet he bought. “Did you like the flowers?”Blushing hotly, Aqua nodded. She rushed to get dressed and braided her hair for the date after the accident in the kitchen. Jericho had so many fragrances to borrow from, and Aqua picked something that smelled like flowers. It wasn’t the most original choice, but it was the safest. After all, it was probably better to choose ‘Floral Fantasy’ over ‘Bl
Dear Don Important Things In Life
It was nearing a year since Aqua and Dawn officially became lovers. More surprisingly, Jericho snagged himself a cute boyfriend a few months ago. Nobody knew where the bar owner picked his lover from. However, that man was rather odd. Jericho was surprisingly secretive about him as well. All they knew from the gay bartender was his name.“Melvin said this restaurant by the cliffside is famous for its seafood. Aqua likes escargots, so you should book a reservation in advance if you plan to propose. Do you need help with the rings?”Shaking his head, Dawn looked at Jericho’s tall but pale-looking boyfriend. Melvin’s hazel eyes darted to the side as he slouched a little under the ex-criminal’s gaze. It was still difficult to believe Jericho was dating such a wimpy man. Apart from his good looks, Melvin resembled a scared puppy whenever they met up. The two men had been dating for a few months now. However, Melvin had never spoken with anyone else
Dear Don Road Trip Double Date
Although it wasn’t Aqua’s first time travelling to an ocean, it was her first time travelling to a beach that had sand. She was thrilled when Dawn told her about the holiday idea to travel with Jericho and Melvin. After finding out where it would be, the mermaid started marking her calendar and counting the days. It would be their one-year anniversary as a couple, making this trip more meaningful than all their other vacations.The weeks rolled by as Dawn and Jericho finalised their preparations for the holiday and proposal. Aqua remained blissfully oblivious to her boyfriend’s shifting mood as work occupied her. They had less physical contact during the period, which bothered the mermaid a little. However, Dawn prepared sweet surprises for her regularly, whether showing up during her work, sending her flowers or buying her little gifts. The colleagues around Aqua swooned with envy at the romantic gestures. Even after nearly a year together, the mermaid still
Dear Don A Familiar Sound
The sun and beach were not for everyone. Dawn and Melvin learnt that the hard way when they accompanied their overly enthusiastic lovers for a day out in the sand. While Aqua enjoyed the sun through her golden locks and seawater on her skin, Dawn suffered from heatstroke and a terrible sunburn that caused his skin to turn red, peeling in a few days. Likewise, Melvin spent most of his time under a shelter, wearing a copious amount of sunblock. The pale man was often sluggish, even when he hid under his umbrella. According to Jericho, the big man had some sort of allergy to the sun and heat.While the two men spent most of the day indoors, Aqua and Jericho had a blast at the beach. Thanks to the hectic and physically demanding nature of their work in the service line, they had no problems picking up physically challenging sports like jet skiing or scuba diving. Aqua was a natural, and Jericho picked up the skills quickly. They spent a lot of time surfing and eating street food to
Dear Don A Familiar Face
“Stay close to me,” Dawn commanded, grabbing Aqua’s hand tightly. “We’ll make it out of here alive.”The commotion below died in a few minutes, and Dawn peeked at the lobby. Apart from the establishment staff lying on the ground with their hands behind their head, most customers fled the restaurant. It was unlikely that this was a robbery. A resort with such luxuries must also have a great security system. It would only be a matter of time before the security arrived. All Dawn had to do was buy time. The shooter came alone. He could take that person down with force if needed.“Where is he?!” the crazed gunner yelled at the head waiter. “I know he’s in here somewhere!”When they heard the voice, Dawn turned to Aqua immediately. For some reason, he knew that voice. Although it sounded much more unhinged than the refined, sleazy confidence in his memories, there was no mistaking who the shooter was.R
