I went into the security room along with the manager. There was a man in that room, sitting in a chair. In front of him was a lot of screen, and different camera footage was being played there. All the cameras on different floors were recording everything there. "Hello sir," the guy bowed to the manager soon after he noticed him. "Show me the recording of the first floor dining area from 1 hour ago." The manager didn't respond to his greetings; instead, he asked him to show the footage directly. "Okay, sir,wait a minute." He sat on his chair and typed something on the keyboard. After a few minutes, there was footage of the dining hall from four different angles. I have been here for a while, but I never noticed that there were four CCTV cameras in the dining area. "This one... Make it full-screen. She is being clearly seen here. " he said, pointing at one of the footage. The guard entered something on his keyboard, and soon the footage became b
"You should have stopped at the point where I asked you to compensate you. You go ahead of yourself and bring this to yourself." The manager turned back to face her. The guards had left her hands when she kneeled on the floor. She pulled herself up and looked at me with hatred in her eyes, saying, "It was all because of you. All of these happened because of you, shameless girl!" She started to point fingers at me. I was confused. What did I do in all these? What was my fault? "What did I do?" I asked her. "You shameless bitch, she seduced my boyfriend in front of me, and now you are asking what you do? If you hadn't seduced him, everything would have been so different. He... He would have been sitting with me. We would've been eating and enjoying our date. You are the reason that ruined everything for me. If it were not for you, I would not have been this embarrassed. You just wait and see." She started talking nonsense. "What? When did I do that?" I was in shoc
"Whatever happened today, it was good. I got something good from her drama." Cami said. "What have you got now?" I asked her with curiosity. "An idea!! " she said. "What idea?" "Don't you get it?" "no" "Stupid... Even though she failed today, it was a great idea. I am going to do it once." she said. "What are you going to do?" "Whatever she did, but a little different." "Are you going to make yourself embarrassed like her?" "I'm going to eat a lot of food in expensive restaurants, and I'll put something on their food. And then I'll be like, eat and no paying for food. Wow," she said as she looked up. "Focus on the road, ma'am... I don't want to have a good experience like this morning. And if you do that, you are gonna end up like her." I said. "Nope... I won't end up like her. I'm smart and I won't go overboard anyway." She said being confident in herself. "OK ma'am, OK. Do whatever you like " I pressed m
The market has already started its morning routine, all the shops and restaurants aside from the roads are already opened. People are running for their own work. A lot of people are running on the road. Some are running to lose weight, some are running to develop six packs, some are running to go to their desired destination, some are running to send them to their desired destination, some are running to sell, and some are running to buy. All of them have their own reasons for running. I also stepped on this busy road with a big plastic bag... Now here I'm running to get some good food,and then I will be running for going home. And then for office and bla bla bla bla. I kept moving forward, dodging the crowd. I went inside the supermarket and went around. It took me a while to decide where to start. I went to the first floor and moved here and there. I picked up a lot of ramen noodles. I really love them, whenever I think of their cheesy and spicy flavor, I don't thin
Phew.... I took a long and deep breath. "What happened, Cami?" The manager talked from another side of the phone. "No... No sir " "Ask me if there is anything " he said in a very kind manner. "Actually, sir.. I wanted to tell you something " I said, shaking with nervousness. "Yah,say it then I'm listening " he said. "Sir that... I and Cami live together and" "Yeah, she told me before. I know that "he cut me off before I could speak. "Sir I know it's only been a few days since I officially joined your hotel, but... Can I ask for a leave... I mean, I really have to... We don't have anyone else from each other. And now that she is sick, I have to take care of her... I need a leave too sir." Finally I said it to the manager. "leave?" "Yes sir... I can't leave her alone when she needs me the most. I really need to take care of her." I said to him hoping that he'd listen. "Cami... You know how big our restaurant is. Right? We'
Camila's POV "This is it, I think I can entrust her to you now." I heard Ley say this to Ethan. And I blushed at the word entrust. "I'm glad. You can now," he replied to her in a deep and attractive voice. "I think I'll get ready for the work then. " said Ley. "Sure" Ethan responded. After that, Ley came to the bedroom, and Ethan didn't follow her here. She opened the wardrobe and got her uniform out. Then she went to the bathroom and closed the door. When she came out, she had changed into her waitress's dress and tied her hair on the top of her head with a black hairband. She usually does that ponytail during my working hours. And then she came to me to check my temperature. I was still hot even though she made me porridge and gave me medicine. I was conscious while Ethan came, but I didn't want them to know this. I wanted to see how Ethan was going to take care of me. Ley searched for her phone and kept looking at the phone for
"This is it,I think I can entrust her to you now." "I'm glad you can now " he replied to me with a smile. "I think I'll get ready for the work then." "Sure" I went to the bedroom, and this time Ethan didn't follow me. I opened the wardrobe and got my uniform out. I went to the bathroom and closed the door. I changed into my waitress's dress. I tie my hair on the top of my head with a black hairband. I usually do ponytails during my working hours. And then I got out of the bathroom. I searched for my phone and booked scab for me. I took my handbag, put my mobile phone in it, and then went out of the bedroom. When I got out of the bedroom,Ethan was making sandwiches from the bread that I didn't get to eat this morning. "Hey Riley,did you have your breakfast?" "Actually not,I was so busy taking care of her.. that I forgot about that thing " "Good then... Why don't you come and have some sandwiches? I'm making for me. I don't min
I then took a towel and went to clean the tables. I started from table twenty to five to nine, eighteen, and twelve. I mopped them clean and also rechecked the arrangement of the chairs. When everything was in place, I went back to the kitchen. Sophy was there, putting her bag down on the chair. "Hi Riley, good morning." "Good morning." "I nodded in response. "Are you done with the cleaning?" I asked Sophy. She shook her head. "Nop,not yet. I've just arrived. Are you done already?" she asked me. "Just finished." I show her the mop on my hand. "Oh, you've already finished? I will go then, we'll talk after I finish that part " she said, taking a mop on hand. "Sure " After that, she went out of the kitchen. Now I was alone here. I put the mopping towel away and sat on a chair there. We have a lot of workers here,but I talk to others other than Jenny and Sophy. Sister Skyler was one of them, but she isn't here anym
I'm sorry about your loss Cami I hugged her I thought I know everything about you but I was wrong. She quickly broke the hug and took my hand in hers I'm sorry for keeping this from you but I never wanted you to get into this mess. I'm sorry. It's ok Cami. You are my best friend either you tell me or not. When I was talking to Cami, I smell something very sweet and strong scent out of the door, my heart suddenly started to pace up faster and faster. Eva also appeared in my mind as she sniffed the scent even more. "Mate" a word escape her lips as there was anger in her eyes. I can't word out my feelings that I felt at that moment. I don't know if I was happy or not. I just felt my heart beating like a drum faster and faster. I tried to calm myself as I feel the scent coming closer and closer to the room. I stay there stopping my breathe when the door opened and there was Mr. Gold along with some guys surrounding him here and there. He stood frozen as he saw me. His eyes
One day I was in my room, sitting under the bed thinking about these and that when I heard someone approaching to my room. I pretended to be asleep just to ignore the person but the person came to my room. The smell had made me clear who the person was, it was Liam. I was wondering when he call out my name all of the sudden. Riley I played deaf and stay silent inside my quilt to ignore him. Riley he called again and again. When I don't talk to him after so long, he sat on the edge of my bed at the end. He take a deep sigh before speaking "I never thought things would turn out like this" He continued "You can't stop leaving just because Mr. Gold left you." This time I sat up on the bed, he was right but there was nothing to be happy about in my life. "I just don't feel excited with anything now-a-days" I said "To be true I don't feel anything" I know this is because your mate is far from you. i have heard thaat a werewolf can't be happy without his mate but I see they can't even l
I could care less about the will or the property, all I need was Mr. Gold at this point. What was I going to do with the property. I asked Mr Clark to wait for me outside. He nodded and went outside , now I and Liam were the only ones in the room. He looked at me as he asked "What's the matter?" "Where is he" i asked him straight forwardly. "He? Who?" he tried to play dumb but I wasn't in the mood at all... "Where is Mr. Gold? when is he coming back" I asked him again. He went silent for a moment before sighing. Only then he opened his mouth He is never coming back and I'm no allowed to say anything to you. He gave you eighty percent of his property and asked me to take care of you ... But why? I shouted at him even though I knew he wasn't going to answer my questions. He got up of the seat and begin to walk out. i closed my eyes and shouted I know you know all about him. You even know where he is, you are just not telling me... Because he ab
"Hello miss, how are you?" she smiled politely at me. Who was she?... I have never seen her before, I thought to myself. "I said who are you? i asked her again. she looked at me with a smile and spoke i'm a nurse appointed to look after you. she was still sweet as her smile. a nurse? But who would appoint a nurse? Was it... I go t excited "Does Mr. Gold asked you to take care of me?" iI asked her expecting she'll nod with a smile on her face but instead she was confused and asked back who is mr. gold? Who appoint you to take care of me? I asked her again... it was Liam.. she replied and now my smile was totally gone. What I was thinking was not true, it was Liam instead? How are you feeling madam? she asked me. I'm fine totally. I replied her with a fake smile and she offered me a warm water. I gulped down the water in one go. It was then she spilled something unexpected. I never thought you will recover after this long. long? what long? I asked her conf
I felt like I have been paralyzed, I no longer was able to move my body. I felt intense pain in my body as if all the bones were breaking into pieces. I fell on the ground on my knee and my whole body was hurting so much. "Mate" I still could hear as Eva said so.., wait for what? Mate? wasn't it the voice I keep hearing from time to time... what the hell was going on? I tried to scream due to pain but I wasn't able to speak. Just then Beast turned towards me and walk slowly. His beautiful black eyes were glowing in the night. The pain in my body had reached its limit... I felt like I was locked up and all I could do was to watch, watch whatever I was seeing. I looked at my hand as it was in pain and then under the moonlight, it begin to change. at first, the hair on the hand was bushed up and then the hair was spread all over the body. I was so panicked as it happened, was I turning into a monster? I was looking down as my longs fingers and small nails were gone, inste
When I was almost asleep there were some noise in the room and I startled awake while looking around. It was Liam in the room along with the man that come earlier to fetch some documents. He smiled at me while Liam was shocked to see me here and I was confused with his reaction. His jaw was literally on the ground. "Liam" I called out for him and my voice drag him back to this world "huh? Ms. Wilson what are you doing here?" he asked me. I gave him a weak smile before answering him with a question "Where is Mr. Gold?" He seemed a bit akward as he turned to the man and ordered "Please leave us alone for a while. Do as I say and came to me before going home" he said to the man. The man nodded at us and leave the office with mw and Liam looking at each other. "So?" I asked him. "Mr. Gold he is in a trip for emergency meeting. He will be home in few hours." He said " But why did you leave home? You were suppose to be ho
He seems to hesitated for a moment but eventually he agreed and got out of the room to get me medicines and warm water. I was still on the bed lying lifelessly with my body as hot as lava. It was quite weird that I would recover any injury and wound but my fever wasn"t leaving me alone. I tossed and turned in the bed with my rapid breathe and dry throat. In a while uncle Frank entered the room with a tray having a glass of water and medicine in it. He helped me seat up straight and shoved it at my back. When I was done sitting he handed me the war water and medicine in my hand. I drank the water and also gulped down my medicine with it. When I was done with it Uncle Frank helped me settling down the bed again. After that he left the room with concerned eyes. It was sure hard to keep my eyes open for sure but it doesn"t mean I was asleep or something like that. I tossed and turned whole night only to found myself awake until midnight. But the worst part was that Mr. Gold
214 I closed my eyes as I thought I was going to fall hard on my face. However the pain that I was expecting never came instead I was caught into a warm and strong arms by a masculine body. I opened my eyes to see Mr. Gold"s handsome face in front of me. I felt sparks all over my body as he scooped me up in the air. I gulped as I look in his face and then I saw his lips slightly curved upside. What the hell, was Mr. Gold smiling? He take me to the dining area still in his arms not letting me to get on my foot. To be honest, I didn"t tried to get down. Not even once. Even though I knew his identity, I couldn"t help but to feel safe in his arms. his truth was not able to take away the feelings I got with him. it was so... weird... "Stupid girl" he mumbled as he put me down on my legs. I glared at him but he don"t even looked at me and sat on his place. I also took out a chair and sat on it. Uncle Frank was just at a side while serving food on the pla
After he was gone, I looked at Mr. Gold and he was staring at me with furrowed eyes. He seems to be thinking something but the way he was staring at me feel a bit...uncomfortable. I get up the table and decided to go to uncle Frank but instead he was coming towards me. "The rice was about to burn indeed. Thanks to you Ms. Wilson or else it might get burnt. Your smelling sense is indeed strong" uncle Frank praised me as he come to the living room. "Strong?" I repeated the sentence in confusion. "I thought it was normal" I mumbled to myself while looking at uncle. Then I looked at Mr. Gold just to find him still looking at me. It was a quite weird that he was looking at me like that and not just for a while but ... does he know that I found out...? This thought made me even more uncomfortable. I got up from there to run away. I can go here and there but I don"t want to sit here. Just as I was about to step on the stairs I heard a voice from behi
