Meeting Again 54-Hosting
I was simply clueless as to what to do. Boris was worried as well, so he called the hostess of the event management team and asked her to give me a crash course. She was busy at the moment with certain work, so I decided to go about with my usual job. I took the shift handover logbook from Chef Anna. She was a French woman in her early 40s with a long squarish face and small unassuming eyes. She was supposed to leave after the morning shift, but due to the event, she had to stay back, yet not a word of complaint escaped her mouth. She quietly went about her work without making much fuss. Her dedication made the other younger chefs motivated, and they started working tooth and nail as well. When I asked her about the previous shift's books, she looked at me with an appraising eye,"Good boy! You have such a strong sense of duty. Even with the event, you want to be up to date with your work schedule. No wonder you are in such a high post at such a young age. Good… Good!" she said as she
Meeting Again 55-Hosting II
Like a diligent kid, I sat listening to Diana as she explained the general rules that I needed to know about hosting. She went ahead in a jovial manner,"You must always remember some basic things,Smile and be polite.Be polite but confident and positive.Never show your emotions on your face.Compliment the guest but never overdo it.Never offend the guest.The guest is the king. If the guest is rude and is being a jerk, apologize!Always be focused on guest needs.Answer guest queries promptly in precise words."Diana finished as she counted the eight rules with her fingers."I understand. What if the customer is deliberately trying to give you a hard time?" I asked, rubbing my chin. I can't help but get the feeling that the Chairman is doing this to give me a hard time."Oh, it's nothing uncommon. All these white collars and elites are born with arrogance and temper. Say, for example, they ordered a sidecar, but, when it is brought, they would simply deny ordering it or may even s

Robbie's dad POVI had never thought that my son would turn out to be so outrageous. After all that drama about his lover and kid, I thought I could break through his stubbornness, but the boy had the guts to walk out of the house. For the last three days, he has not returned. If that was not shocking enough, he fired all his bodyguards, did not take his car or his chauffeur, canceled all his cards and discarded his previous cell phone and number. He has not used any of his bank accounts ever since he left. Roger is not able to keep any tabs on him. He even checked Ashley's place as well. The boy is nowhere to be found. Except for attending to his regular duties, he is completely out of the radar. All for that cheap omega!! Who would have thought that my threat would backfire on me like this? To think a day would come when my son would fight me for outsiders! When did he get so out of my control?I clenched and unclenched my fist in anger. I tried to get Ashley, but she is out of the
Meeting Again 57-Indecent II
(Since there are a lot of characters perspectives in this chapter, so it will be told in third-person perspective)Ricardo sat there wide-eyed, staring at Stephen in disbelief. He wondered if Stephan only thought with his lower half! Generally, bonded omegas turn people off, but he is actually excited by the idea of banging one? Despite his disgust, Ricardo managed to keep his face neutral. He didn't care for Tony, but he was just not the type to dirty his hands with such things. Moreover, since Robbie was involved with that omega, he couldn't help feeling uncomfortable. The last thing he wanted was Robbie becoming Stephen's target and, for that matter, he won't mind sacrificing Tony. Robbie is still young. He didn't want him to make enemies with such powerful foes. Ricardo cleared his throat audibly before speaking,"Allow me to remind you, he is bonded to my son.""All the more reason!! Had you taken care of that omega, I might not have been involved!" Stephen said in a low sly voic
Meeting Again 58-Evil thoughts
(Third person perspective)Stephen had grabbed Tony's butt, and one of his fingers was fiddling near his butthole when Tony pushed him away, hard enough for Stephen to stagger. Tony couldn't believe what just happened. He had times before where he was looked down upon, even people aggressively holding his wrist and trying to kiss him or feel him up, but they were all just some sleazy lecherous roadside romeos who had nothing better to do other than treat any vulnerable person as their entertainment, but this man is a well-known politician from a respected family, owns an import-export business and is liked by several. He is also here as a special guest of the Chairman. Yet, he just now...Tony was breathing fast, looking at the man in disbelief. Did he just imagine all that? His contemplation didn't last long as he heard a furious voice from behind him,"How dare you disrespect my guest!"Tony turned to see the Chairman glaring at him. He looked so furious that flames might as well fl
Meeting Again 59-Birthday
Thankfully, the evening went by without much drama. My worries about the Chairman were unfounded. He only drank the entire evening and was carried away by Mr. Stephen Olsen and the Chairman's personal assistant. I am still not sure about what truly happened at the time I fell over Mr. Olsen. All that caressing and groping, I shivered slightly, remembering it. Hopefully, it was just some stupid misunderstanding.I took my cell phone out to find 34 missed calls.WTF!!Just who had so much leisure to keep calling me? It's not every day that I receive so many calls. I quickly unlocked to see that 30 calls were from Robbie, 3 from Chef Samuel and 1 from Tanya. Looks like Robbie was worrying way too much. I felt myself go a little red in the cheek and near the ear. Being worried about and taken care of isn't that bad after all!"Diana, I'll be heading back. Thank you for everything," I said to Diana gratefully. She has been a great mentor.Diana, like always, gave me a dazzling smile, but t
Meeting Again 60-Strange talks
"Tanya, you're choking me!" I said in a strangled voice as Tanya's hand tightened around my neck. She quickly let go of me and apologized, "I am sorry! I got too emotional." "What are you getting all emotional over a gift for?" I laughed. "I do not have that many friends to shower me with gifts, you know," Tanya held the packages to her heart as if it was a treasure. "What? Why not?" I asked, looking at her, surprised. "Well…" she stretched the word for long but then abruptly changed the subject, "You have the morning shift tomorrow, right?" I didn't want to force her to talk, so I went along, "Yep! I don't want to burden Samuel so much, especially when Jenny is pregnant." "Ah, I see. Then, will you and Twen be free enough to join me for my birthday dinner tomorrow?" Tanya asked, smiling at me with sincerity. "Why not?" I smiled back. "Ummm-" she seemed to be hesitating to say something, but her eyes were brightly glowing as she looked at me. "What?" I asked, getting self-con
Meeting Again 61-Like a family
Robbie was sleeping, tangling around me like a vine. It took me ten whole minutes to untangle myself from his octopus-like grip. Getting down, I glanced at Robbie's pretty face, which now has an unhealthy pallor over it, with visible dark circles under his eyes and unkempt hair over his forehead. The past few days must have been quite hard on him. His confrontation with his dad has resulted in him being in a difficult situation. Although he did not mention details of the dispute, I knew he left his house in the end. He did not even tell me where he was staying. According to him, the less I know, the better. It is hard not to feel sorry for the difficult situation he has landed in. I wanted to tell him to make peace with his dad, but thinking of the conditions his dad has put forward, I cannot bring myself to say it. I patted his head subconsciously but quickly withdrew my hand when I saw him moving. Shaking my head, I went out to get refreshed. Twen woke up half an hour later when I

Meeting Again 80-End Epilogue
(A short summary on the lives of all)( 5 months after the events of chap 98)Tony and Robbie happily married with the blessing of Ashley and his well-wishers. Tony sent the wedding invitation to his parents too against Robbie's wishes. Tony simply said,"They are the reason, I am in this world, they are the reason I met you, so no matter how much they despise me, I still want them to be part of my happiness"Robbie acknowledged that he could never win Tony with words! Tony was even prepared to forgive Mr. Walker's horrid deed, as he didn't want Robbie to be deprived of his father, however, Robbie straight off refused it."He had never been much of a father to me. He treated Roger more dearly than me" Robbie said with a slight tinge of despair.Tony never raised the topic again. He didn't want to see Robbie hurting. Twen and Robbie finally got time to bond. Twen, though very reserved in the beginning, slowly started opening up to Robbie's constant trying. Robbie made a fixed time for
Meeting Again 79-Bonus Chapters
Fred's POVNot even a month back in La Costa and I received a marriage invitation from Tony! Do you call it fate? I looked at the invitation feeling an odd sensation running through me. I can't pinpoint what feeling it was but I can describe it through an example. It was like seeing off your parents at the train station when you leave the house for the first time. As the train slowly picks up speed, you see your parents slowly disappearing from your view and an odd sensation settles in your heart. It was the very same sensation that was passing through me.I was due to return in a few days but now somehow, I just didn't feel like returning. I put the invitation beside me and looked at my half-filled restaurant, towards the customers who were enjoying their snacks, laughing cheerfully with their friends and family. I don't know why, the scenario, though beautiful, made me unhappy, so, I settled at staring outside the restaurant towards the sandy beach.A lot of thoughts were running th
Meeting Again 78-Bittersweet
Robbie's POVTanya had been inside Tony's room for quite sometime. I wonder what's going on. Hopefully, she can talk him out of his miserable state of mind. I had been quite useless in that regard. Twen was sitting on mum's lap reading a book. He had been getting very impatient waiting to see Tony,"Granny Ash, why can't I see mommy?" Twen asked in an upset voiceMum patted his head, "Honey, your mum is a little busy. His friend had come to visit him"Twen blinked innocently, "Friend? Is it Uncle Fred?"Mum laughed breezily, "No it's Tanya. Do you wanna meet her too?" mum asked to see Twen's upset expression replaced with a bright look.Mum just mentioned it and I heard a click on the door. Tanya came out along with Tony who looked extremely nervous. Before I could react, Twen bounced down my mum's lap and cried excitedly,"Mommy!!"Tony's anxious expression cleared on seeing Twen. Twen went running to him followed by my mum and wrapped his little arms round his waist. I saw Tony smil
Meeting Again 77-Alone
Robbie's POVNext DayAs Mr. Olsen said, there was nothing found in the ruins of the house of Emaulsen, neither in Tony's blood-stream nor Twen. Though chloroform (it was banned in our country, and so, was illegal) was applied on Twen, its quantity was just enough for anesthetic purposes and because of its property of not staying in body for long, no trace was found. It was the same with Tony. The only medicine detected was NSAIDs drugs or in other words, just simple ibuprofen usually used for ridding of hangovers and was legal. The trace of the very same drug was also found in the glass that was collected from ruins. There was nothing whatsoever to prove Mr. Olsen's guilt or association with illegal drugs. It was so frustrating that I ended up wall punching and injuring my already injured hands (because of rashly breaking a wine glass) and ended up being scolded by mum.Fred who too came to meet Tony along with Sam, who was in the same hospital as Jenny, were all as frustrated as I w
Meeting Again 76-a small win
Robbie's POVI don't know why the idea of being unclean had lodged in Tony's head. Why would he think that just because of what happened I would look down on him or not see him as fitting to be my partner? I am not one of those outdated person who thinks only virgin guy and girls are pure and clean. But most unfortunately, our society had always promoted such inferior ideas. And many of the men have even gobbled down that idea without once thinking how demeaning and downgraded the thought was. But maybe Tony's case was different. It might be the shock of what happened rather than the society's regressive ideologies. But I won't let him wallow in self hatred and disgust.1I calmed him a bit, though, he was still looking disturbed. I made him close his eyes and lean on the seat for rest. Closing the SUV's door of backseat, I took long strides to where Fred was. He looked extremely mad about something. I have to stop him before he ends up doing something and landing himself in jail. I h

Warning: Mention of physical, emotional and mental abuse; Strong LanguageRobbie's POV"What the hell are you doing here?" Fred grumbled the moment I slammed the door to his SUV, "And why did y-""Start driving. We don't have time to chit chat!" I said, hmphing irritably"You're one to talk! You wasted fifteen damn minutes dragging me and the cops here," Fred complained, giving a furtive look at the cops."There is a reason for that! So, where is that jacka*s?" I asked in a low growl, also eyeing the two cop cars behind in the rear-view mirror."Here," Fred said, placing his cell phone under my nose and stamping on the accelerator at the same time.I looked at the location. My eyes widened. No wonder Mr. Olsen is confident that no one will be able to locate him. I grumbled agitatedly,"The ruined mansion of Emaulsen!""What? What's that?" Fred asked while quickly taking his cell phone back to navigate the route and gesturing to the cops to follow his car."That's Olsen's paternal hous
Meeting Again 74-Ranting
Robbie's POVI stood there bewildered at dad's reply. How could he just lie like that? If he doesn't know anything, then why did the kidnapper make a stop in front of our villa? To admire it? Mum felt suspicious too. She asked in a firm tone,"Ric, a child's life is in danger, and he also happens to be your grandson-""I have no grandson," Dad interrupted mum, eyeing her with cold fury."I don't care whether you see him as your grandson or not, but he is my son! I won't let you harm him," I said, gritting my teeth and stepping forward, looking at dad with rage.Dad raised an eyebrow, speaking each word with the chilliness of the north pole, "You think I would do such lowly things like harming a boy!""If you did not make my son disappear, then why the hell did the kidnapper stop here?" I asked in an equally cold voice."What nonsense!!" Dad burst out, slamming the desk and glaring at me."It's not nonsense, dad. The kidnapper's car was caught on traffic surveillance and shown to make
Meeting Again 73-What do you want?
Warning: Mention of drugs, hints of sexual abuse, Kidnapping, & strong languageI felt like someone kicked me in the guts. I looked at him wide-eyed in disbelief. This guy, a member of the congress, a well-known television face, a politician, and a friend of Robbie's dad, he ordered my son's abduction?? Why?? Just because I fell on him!?"I can see a lot of questions on your face," he chuckled again, "I am sure rather than answers to those questions, this is what you want to see," he said, pulling out his cell phone, tapping something on it quickly, and turning the screen towards me.From this distance, I could see nothing. I left the headboard and dragged my feet to the end of the bed. As I reached close, I saw Twen on the screen."TWEN!!" I screamed and staggered towards the armchair, falling face forward on the floor.I heard a creak as Mr. Olsen got up from the chair and walked towards me. I looked up, sitting on my knees. He held out the cell phone to my face, where I saw Twen sl
Meeting Again 72-Not Tony too
It was only an hour-long flight, but it felt like an eternity. Once I landed in Warham, I quickly proceeded to take a cab. Since my return was sudden, my car was not prepared ahead of time. I wanted to go meet Tony first. But at the moment, my mind was so absorbed in my suspicions over dad that I first wanted to run and confirm whether it was him. If it were him, then I would get Twen back. I just couldn't bring myself to believe that dad could have fallen so low. Today's altercation between us might as well be the end of our relationship as well as my mum's too. I feel unbearably guilty of pulling mum into this as well, but there is no other choice. Mum tried her best to maintain the happy family image before me so that I don't feel sad or isolated. Yet, today many people have suffered because of my choices. Tony, Twen, Mom...how am I ever going to forgive myself for bringing such a disaster on them all? I clenched my fist in anger.My guilty reflection got interrupted by a call. It
