“Sir Ash!”The door slams open, all to everyone’s astonishment and Ash's disappointment. “Do you know where we are and what exactly are you doing?”One of the men screams at the other, and the waiters and waitresses of the restaurant quickly went back to their work. Shoving what they just saw and pretending that they didn’t hear even a single thing. “I apologize sir, but this is---”Ash quickly stops his words, and with a sign of his hand, his expression is alarmed. Looking at the restaurant employees, the man rushes immediately to his side. While on the other hand, Lindsey is having more than a hunch of what is going on. “That’s enough, leave us alone.”He asks, which the employees of the restaurant immediately obeyed. Knew that something is off, yet they are well informed and trained not to mingle into anything that does not relate to their job. “Tsk!”Lindsey gritted her teeth in dismay, but. “Sir, if you may I could---”She tries to buy her way for a bit, wanted to look at t
“EXCUSE me gentlemen, but you cannot enter this room,”Yuna’s firm voice, strong and tough that Lindsey all knew that she is just pretending. All an act from the teen who barely passes her first month after debuting to society. “I’m sorry Yuna, I do. But hold on for a while, I will surely reward you after.”She prays in the corner, cheering the teen and keeping her cool. For if she does any wrong move from the very point, everything will go down the drain and her life will be in danger. Especially if Ash will capture and interrogate her. “I need to inform Harry.”She immediately thought of Harry. Taking her phone out and texted him, all after making sure that her phone is in silent mode. With all the precautions at hand and the fact that she couldn’t take any wrong step further. “A guess? Tsk!”Ash smirks, irritated and about to lose his patience after knowing that Lindsey is presented to the same restaurant where he is. To coincidental knowing that the Lawrence had never been in t
“EXCUSE me then, Mr. Crowfield.”A bit impressed and almost in awe by Lindsey’s wit. Ash smiles letting the lady pass, then his expression changes into disgust and anger. Walking back to the room where someone who just arrives, but witnessed everything is amused by it.“I didn’t know that she knows you, Ash.”A question, yet rather an insult that Ash thinks of it. All after from the very beginning caught Lindsey’s lies. The little game that she fumbles and stupidly herself. Giving away the clue that Ash is not dumb to not realize and notice the moment that she called his name.“Oh no, she didn’t. She lied, everything of what she said is a lie. Hiro.”“I see.”Hiro smirks, delighted and a bit amused by the lady that he just saw. “Aaron’s employee, his secretary that only a fraction of the people knew and around the company. My identity, my façade as an employee, his secretary, sometimes driver, and occasionally just a mere errand boy. She shouldn’t have known it.”Ash's disappointment
TRAP in an unfamiliar alley with the two men chasing her for a while now. Lindsey couldn’t even catch her breath for a long time while hiding and thinking that at any moment now she will be caught by those two men. “Wake up Lindsey!” She slaps her face, convinced of the fact. “You cannot be caught here, not now.” Her determination and condition for the time. All knowing that she will be in trouble and more if she couldn’t find her way and escape. “One way or another, you have to escape Lindsey.”More than just convincing herself, she then took a peak noting if the one after her is still there and just running back in circles looking for her. Just then a hand grabs her from the back. Holding her hand and pulling her down into someone’s arms. Surprised and more than taken aback, she looks up to see the person which is none other than. “Aaron?” “Got you.”Aaron whispers, the first two words that he said and more than enough misinterpreted by Lindsey. Thinking that he was there to g
“IS that a joke?”“A joke? I do not think so.”Aaron’s response and smile flustered Lindsey in an instant. Made her feel something that she shouldn’t, and the heavens know that it is a forbidden thing. ‘OH, GOD! PLEASE HELP ME!’She pleaded inside her mind with a slap or two waking her up into somewhat like a nightmare within a lustful dream. No matter how someone else turns it around, it will always fall into the category of sin. ‘I THINK I AM FALLING INTO THE SIDE OF THE WRONG HERE.’“Alright stop!” she raises her hand showing Aaron her palm and almost directly to his face. All the while trying to hide her face and her expression that sure enough is presenting all the wrong way at that moment. “Stay away from me, please.”She insisted, pushing Aaron a bit and the latter is puzzled by her sudden mood and actions. “Now you are pushing me away?”Aaron's disappointment, kind of disappointment. But still, his teasing nature that he already started is kicking in. Looking at Lindsey a
“WILL you put me down now?”Lindsey’s protest is all red and flustered by Aaron’s actions where everyone around is all eyes on them. Smiling and gossiping for a thing or two that she knew but doesn’t want to acknowledge it. “Just a bit more, where almost there.”Aaron who isn’t reading the atmosphere and only thinks that it is his job to take care of the injured one refuses. “Men will always be men.”Lindsey whispers in annoyance, covering her face and all wild in her mind of the troubles and possibilities that this will bring if anyone who knew her sees her like this. Worst with a man that isn’t her husband. “Here we are.”“Welcome to Café Latte---”“Aaron?”Taken a back and a bit puzzled. Lindsey looked ahead and around. Seeing that Aaron brought her to a small café, but with the atmosphere and welcome that is first warm and glad, then it immediately changes into surprise and expressions that are asking for the five W’s. “W-what? Where?”“Why? W-hen?”Sure, enough everyone swarm
“AARON, who is this girlfriend of yours?”The door just barge opens and slams. Surprising Lindsey and with the image of a big woman right in front of her now. “See?”Aaron giggle, pointing to the fact that he just said a while back. “Manager Lee.”He calls out smiling wide, and the woman is not all amused but instead is expressing all the disappointment of the world towards him. “Relax will you, your heart, think of your heart.”“You know I do not have that when it comes to you and your jokes.”The managers foreshadowing words. Like screaming from the inside that Aaron’s lies and jokes will not buy him a free pass, nor he will be able to fool an experience and smart woman like her. “Come on, I am not playing games right now. Besides, I didn’t confirm to everyone that what they just think is the truth. You all jump to the conclusion without even knowing the facts.”“Really?”Aaron presented his stand, confidence, and honest, which the manager is half believing and doubting him abou
“YOU really aren’t big brother Aaron’s princess?”“Isn’t that so?”Lizzy’s question that everyone jumps and asks about it to Lindsey. Which in a few moments are not once more surrounded by everyone. By means, all of the staff in the café with their pleading like expression that she should just admit her relationship with Aaron.“This is a matter of truth, my conscience and pity, right?”She somehow debating within herself. Too weak for children and especially with those pleading look on their faces. Making her consider something that is a hell of a taboo in the biggest sense.“Don’t you like Aaron?”“You know he is a bit overbearing sometimes?”“He’s proud and a hard headed.”“Bossy and kind of scary,”“But he is good at heart and a gentleman.”Everyone’s words of convincing. All rooting for Aaron and not giving up to the possibility that she is his woman. That is kind of torn into the decision of accepting Aaron and officially, like they are in still in the early stage of dating and
