Chapter 17
"Damn! I wish I could teach that bitch a lesson" leo growled.damn her, she dare talk back at him, insulted him, he had never felt insulted in his entire life before."You're lucky she's not here to Carry on with her threat, for calling her a bitch" Cole chuckle recalling Jacqueline threat. Man, you really suprised me, I've never seen you in such state before, you totally loose your guard." She freakin insulted me, she was meant to be apologizing. but, there she was exchanging words with me, can't believe I had let her go without staking any claim" Leo grumbled."Stake any claim, you say. Just admit dude, you had let her go cause you had gone off guard and she had painted it right to your face" Cole teased."Are you taking side with her?" Leo asked."I'm afraid not" Cole replied shrugging."This unbelievable, you know what? Guess I have to head out, see you later" Leo snarled standing up, his breakfast untouched and left closing the door(+_+)(+_+) All his workers had pledge loyalty to him, all.... Except his new cook, Tracy. Could it be her? He thought pacing from one side to another. He sighed heavily deciding to go to his room to await her. Minutes later, he heard a soft knock on his door, just as he had expected "Come in" he said backing the door. He felt her come behind him, the door closed with a click. Still backing her, he questioned " who the hell are you? A cook or a spy?" His voice coming out as gruffly as ever. " Huh? Tracy trembled not knowing what to make of his question He turned facing her, his eyes bored into hers, hot and hard as steel. " I don't repeat a word twice, don't make me do that, you'd regret it" he warned. "I...... don't know what you're talking about..." She stuttered. Just like lighting, he moved closer to her, grabbed her by her shirt collar and pulled her up. " Don't play games with me" he warned making shiver ran down her spine as she cringed in fear. He let go o
They pushed her in locking the door. She didn't bother to fight rather she walks gently and sat dejectedly at the bonk bed that occupied a side of the room. She clamped her knees together, her legs shaking so much due to the cold of the room, in such position she slept hoping everything was going to be a dream when she wakes up. **********Cole pace restlessly from one side of the room to another, he raked his hand through his hair furiously for the umpteenth time.This was not his first time of locking someone up, so, why was he this bothered, so restless. He drank directly from the bottle of whiskey he held emptying it's content and lowered his head. That was his third bottle, he sighed heavily dropping the emptied one and pick another.He doubts if he could ever trusts any of his cook again, the last one had ended up betraying him and also her. Of all people, he had never expected it to be her, she had completely broken his trust. Yeah, he had trusted her. Beautiful, well poised an
Chapter 20Tipsy, but not drunk he stood up and staggered to the door turning it open. He almost froze.The sight before him tore him to pieces.Jerome was carrying her in his arms and she looks somewhat half dead, her eyes had become puffy and her once white-creamy face had become pale and red."You're excused" he whispered to Jerome as he carried her away from him, closing the door behind him. He placed her gently on his bed sitting beside her, her body was so cold. he lifted his hand and touched her forehead, it was hot burning from fever."Damn it!" He growled.He contemplated on if he should leave her and meet Brenda in the kitchen or patiently wait beside her and await Brenda. He stood up deciding to run down to the kitchen before her fever worsen. He opened the door and dashed out of his room heading to the kitchen.In what seemed like seconds, he finally got there. He met Brenda still preparing it."Are you done" he questioned.Brenda flinched and turned to face him, she was s
Tracy woke up feeling so weak, she stretched her arm and yawned.She opened one sleepy eye wondering why had her alarm didn't wake her up, she was sure It didn't rang. She had gotten used to being awoke by her alarm. She stretched her leg and almost screamed out, something was on her legs; her lap.No, it isn't something but someone; she could feel the exchange of gases that permeate through one's nose and the soft snores. Someone was sleeping on her lap!.She sat up rubbing her sleepy eyes wanting to be sure of her assumption as she stared at the sleeping figure before her."Master Cole?" She gasped.What was he doing in her room? She thought as her eyes Scan through the room, then it dawned on her that it wasn't her room but his.What then was she doing in his room. She thought again, For all she knew she couldn't remember going to his room. How then did she get here. she pondered."Oh!" She recalled having slept in that cold room he had ordered for her to be Locked in. How she ende

Inside her room, Tracy took her time with the preparation of her supposed date. She sat up straight facing her mirror cleaning her face with a clenser and other sort of facials. She wasn't a fan of makeup so she didn't bother applying some. She likes her face being smooth and flawless, free from makeup be it light or heavy.She was almost done when she heard a sudden knock at her door. She stood up still clad with her robe, she adjusted it then walked to the door opening it."Master Cole said to deliver this package to you" Jerome said handing her a box."Oh!"she gawped collecting it from him." He's waiting outside in his car, Meet him there when you're done" he announced not waiting for her reply then left abruptly.Tracy took the package inside closing her door.As curious as she was to open the package,she laid it on her bed opening it carefully till what was present inside came in view.Tracy could not help but gasp at the sight before her. The Vermillion red satin gown with the
They finally arrived at the fancy restaurant that's lavishly decorated, combined with the low lighting making the atmosphere romantic, the fresh flowers, taste full artwork, candle light and classical music wasn't an exception.Cole led her to a table that was decorated with linen, table cloths and napkins. She sat down still scanning her eyes through the restaurant. She has never been to such an amazing place before neither had she seen one aside from books and television.Oh, no wonder he had sent her the dress, she'd have been looking stupid if she had dressed plainly to such a place.She wasn't less excited that he had urged her to remove the morflar.She snapped out of her thought when the waiter requested for her order. She wrote down her order and was suprised when Cole ordered for the same thing."Thanks for bringing me here" she appreciated breaking the awkward silence that had filled their table." The dress suits you" he complimented ignoring her appreciation.Her face sudd
They were done with dinner and was about going when a lady accidentally poured wine on Tracy dress. She had apologized and had offered to clean her up in the female restroom, Cole had objected to it insisting she clean up in his car but Tracy had agreed to it saying she couldn't come out all wet and smelly so she had to go clean up. Inasmuch as Cole wasn't comfortable with the idea he didn't argue with her so he let her have way deciding to wait patiently for her since he couldn't accompany her to a female restroom.Tracy and the lady had just gotten to the restroom when the lady started sobbing." I'm sorry, I hadn't meant to drench you, I'm just so broken" she sobs cleaning Tracy up."It's okay, Don't cry everything is going to be fine" Tracy assured her wiping her tears with her thumb."Of all day....he decided to break up with me on my birthday" The lady continued sobbing loudly this time.What a heartless fellow. Tracy thought. Couldn't he have waited or perhaps used another day
