The CEO and a High-Schooler - Part two Chapter 35
Isabella's pov;"I feel sleepy. Let me sleep for sometime.""How long?""Just give me 5 minutes.""I'll go get ready then." Mr Martinez left after tapping on my shoulder for a long time to wake me up from my sleep. How can he wake up so early after going to bed late?When I finally opened my eyes, he was buttoning up his shirt. Does he have to do that in front of me? Is he doing it on purpose? I whined, "What am I going to wear now? I didn't bring any clothes with me since someone didn't inform me beforehand that we're going to stay in an inn. What am I supposed to do now? Do you want me to dress up in a bathrobe?"He placed a paper bag in front of me saying, "There's clothes here to change."I took the bag and looked inside it. A white shirt with brown pants with a denim jacket. Not bad. When did he buy this? After showering, I walked out of the bathroom while ruffling my hair. My hair was wet and hanging in my eyes. I pulled it back into a high ponytail with my fingers, and then

Isabella's pov;Somehow we lost our way, I feel it deep in my bones, we've gotta find our way otherwise we're gonna lose our way in this forest and there won't be anyone to save us. It's almost night, and the sky is dark as pitch outside. The moon had already risen when I looked at the sky. "That's why I said we have to get down before it gets too dark. Now, look at us. We lost our way and didn't know where to go in this dark. What are we going to do now? No one knows we're coming here too. How will Big Brother find us in the middle of the forest? We're going to be stuck here forever. What about my restaurant dream?..."He held my hand and put it on the rope and said, "The rope is here."How did he find the rope in this dark? There were a lot of things to be said about that sentence, but one word stood out amongst them. Going down the mountain. I held onto the rope tightly and started walking down the mountain while holding the rope in the trail. While we're coming down, I slipped a

Alexander Martinez pov;I woke up and checked the time on my phone. It's 7 already. It's late. When I looked on my other side, I saw Isabella sleeping peacefully. I smiled at her, gently pulling the covers from under her head to cover her back properly. "Isabella?" My voice was soft enough not to wake her, but she stirred anyway and turned over in bed with a soft sigh."Hey," she replied, rubbing her eyes and sitting up slowly."Get ready, we have to leave."I got up and limped the way to the bathroom and got shower without making water touch the elastic bandage. The wound was healing quickly but it still stung when I moved too fast or took a sharp turn, even with all the pain medication I had been given by the doctor yesterday.While I was walking out of the bathroom, I saw Isabella sitting on the bed, rubbing her eyes. I changed into my suit and said to her, "Why are you still in bed?""Because it's so early" , she answered me while yawning and continued, "Where are we going today

After two days, Isabella's pov;I placed a bunch of pictures in front of Mr Martinez. He picked one up and examined it for the first time, then looked at me with confusion written on his face, "What am I supposed to be looking at here?" he asked.I said, "These are the places that I hunted for my restaurant business. Some are located in crooked streets, some look haunted by deserted streets, some have busy streets since there are so many food stalls by the road, and some have many restaurants and cafes…""Did you just go around looking for a place for your restaurant?"I gave a nod and sat beside him and took some pictures and said while showing them one by one to him, "Among many places, I have some favourites I liked. It wasn't deserted as others but not a bustling street though because it had a nice ambience. Take a look at this. What do you think about this place?""Were you going around and taking pictures in the streets?"I gave a nod at him.He continued, "And, no one asked yo

Isabella's pov;"Do you really want to open a restaurant here?" Mr Martinez asked me while we're waiting in the place where I decided to open a restaurant. We came to pay the money in another account number.""Yes." "But it looks old. This place seems like it needs a renovation.""Don't worry about it, I'll take care of it."Mike asked us, "What were you talking about?"I let out a nervous laugh and said, "We're discussing how to renovate this place. He said lights can be changed so I said it's a good idea. What about the papers? Is everything ready?"He showed me the documents and pointed at a particular space and said, "You can sign here." "Oh, okay." Without hesitation, I signed the contract with Mike. After I signed, Mr Martinez transferred the money to Mike's account. Mr Martinez asked, "With this money, I wonder how you accepted her offer to work as a pastry chef here again?" "Because I love making desserts. When Bella ate the tiramisu and chocolate smoothie I made for her

Isabella's pov;On the day of the opening of the restaurant, I waited outside the restaurant and looked at the street and the time side by side. There was still time left for the opening but i was nervous. Mike came outside and asked, "Are you nervous?""A lot.""I can understand how it feels. I felt it when I opened a dessert store too.""How did you faced it?" "To encourage my employees, i made myself look strong in front of them to boost confidence in them. So be strong and face it. It's your big day. And, there are others who are nervous too. In the kitchen. They need their general manager to tell them some motivation for them right now." And walked into the restaurant.I nodded at him. Yes. I'm not just a waitress tonight. I'm the general manager. I walked into the restaurant and headed to the kitchen and saw my employees scattered here and there."Can I get a little attention here?" I called out to them to get the attention of my employees. Everyone looked at me like they're

Isabella's pov;Kirk asked, "You own a restaurant but still you're having your breakfast and dinner here." Said while placing the fish tacos on the table in front of me for breakfast."It's because I have to pay if I eat food there." I said."It's your own restaurant, who cares if you don't pay?""I do.""What about lunch?""There's a food stall around the street so I'll go there for lunch.""Doesn't that look weird to people? Having a restaurant but still dining out in a food stall.""I'll go in disguise." And continued eating the tacos and said, "I haven't added the popular dish cioppino in my menu. Do you know why? Because I don't think others can't do it better than you. I put up a new special dish every week. Please, come and cook only for a week. A week is all I'm asking you, Kirk."Mr Martinez took a seat beside me and started to eat. I continued talking to Kirk, "Please, a week will do."Kirk, "I can't. Finish your breakfast, it's getting late for your work." "I won't let it

Isabella's pov;"Your face says it all." Mike said while I was setting up the bar along with the bartender and continued, "Don't worry, you sent out all the invites and did what you have to do so people will come for sure. The number of people who came to the restaurant till now was already more than I expected." And patted my shoulder. I gave a nod and said, "All I want is to see people leave while having smiles on their faces." And walked to the table and took a seat. "Bella!" I heard Noah's voice. When I looked up, I saw my high school friends walking towards me. They're earlier than I expected. Noah, Evelyn, Liam and Sophia. But where are the others? I ran to them and gave them a hug and thanked them for coming.Noah, "Don't just stop thanking us, we came here to get drunk." Liam, "I'm not getting drunk tonight. I promised my girlfriend."Sophia, "Let's see if you can hold onto till the end."I showed him the table and sat along with them. After a while, my college friends w

Isabella's pov;One year later,Dylan, "What exactly are you doing here? What if Alexander scolds us if he sees you serving?""Sitting idle in the room is boring.""I understand how difficult it is to win against you. At the very least, be cautious with the tables.""Got it!" I gave a thumbs up with a smile and continued serving the customers."Enjoy the Breakfast," I murmured as I set the food on the table with a big grin on my face."How many weeks?" one of the customers asked, pointing to my tummy."14 weeks," I murmured, looking at my large tummy."Is it a boy or a girl?""We have an appointment today.""Good luck," she said brightly and continued eating her food.I smiled at her after giving a nod.I approached the desk and dialled Alexander's number."Where the hell are you?""I'll be there in a few minutes.""You said that ten minutes ago.""I'm nearly there."He hung up the phone.Emily inquired, "Don't be upset. This is not good for the baby.""I try, but he's not letting me.

Isabella's pov;On Christmas Day,"Isabella…" Who is calling my name so delicately?"Huhhh…""Wake up, Isabella," they said, their palm touching my cheek."Whyyy…"When I opened my eyes, Mr Martinez kissed me on the cheek and whispered, "Wake up. It's time to open the diner.""What time is it?" I massaged my eyes."10.""What!? Did I sleep in? What day is it?""It's Christmas. Did you forget about it? You were decorating the restaurant the day before.""Did you just f*ck me on the day before Christmas?""It's called making love," he replied, flicking my brow."Whatever." "Arghhh!" I exclaimed when I attempted to sit. I felt a sharp pain in my back.Mr Martinez raced up to me and grabbed my hands, asking, "What happened?"I tapped him on the shoulder and said, "It's all thanks to you. Why did you do it after I told you it was enough? Are you a moron? Did you not hear me? Argh…""Shall I call a doctor if it's too painful?" he inquired as he helped me sit."Take me to the restroom.

Isabella's pov;"If you're serving clients on the weekend, who's going to perform today?" While I was receiving their orders, one of the regulars inquired."We didn't have anything planned for today. We have a tight schedule because Christmas is approaching, so we're preparing for that."They conveyed their menu by nodding. I heard someone strumming the guitar strings while I was shouting out orders in the kitchen. Maybe it was in my head, so I kept giving the meal orders. Someone was singing in the diner. I came out of the kitchen to see who it was.Mr Martinez sat in the chair, holding my guitar, and singing on the raised stage where I perform for my clients every weekend. Is Mr Martinez singing? I was astounded after hearing Mr Martinez's singing, he has a wonderful voice. Wow. What a gentle and charming voice he has. Everyone began shouting and taking pictures of him singing.When the previous song concluded, he said into the microphone, "The next song will be a dedication song fo

Isabella's pov;Finally, we arrived at the restaurant.I got out of the car and went to the restaurant. Mr Martinez grabbed my hand just as i was about to open the door, causing me to turn and stare at him."What is it?""Aren't you going to give me a kiss before you go in?""Why should I?""Because people who are dating kiss before they part.""Duh! We both share the same residence.""Let's do it like a genuine date," he murmured, taking my hand in his."Okay." I asked Mr Martinez to approach me. When Mr Martinez came closer, I grabbed his collar and pressed my lips against his and parted away.Mr Martinez, "Do you call that a kiss?""I'm exhausted. Go away."When I tried to enter the restaurant, He drew me into a deep kiss that included our tongues. I resisted at first, but I let things go with the flow because I was always drawn to his deep kisses. He licked my lips to get into my mouth, and once inside, our tongues rubbed and twisted against each other. While his tongue was ruling

Isabella's pov;While he was driving the car, he seemed upset. What exactly did I just do? Is it possible that I disturbed him as a result of my fear? He was overjoyed in the morning that we were going out, but now his face is expressionless."Mr Martinez?""Yeah?" asked while he was driving the car. "What is tubing?""It's similar to sledding, but you ride on the top of an inner tube.""Will I be able to roll down the hill in tubing if it's like sledding?"He smiled and replied, "No, you will not. The sled has a flat surface, so you can jump out of it, whereas tubing requires you to submerge half of your body into the tube, so you can avoid falling.""Really? I can ride without rolling down the hill?""Yes.""Take me there. I'd like to give it a shot.""Okay."We eventually got to tubing.When I looked around, I noticed people in tubes rolling down the hill. Some were racing with others, while some were fighting with their mates on the tubes. It appeared odd and funny. "Shall we go

Isabella's pov;Mike, "I think I made a decent decision in keeping him here.""What?"While he was handing me the meal in the service area, Olivia called him back to the kitchen. What made him say that?I served the food to the customers after bringing it out of the kitchen. The couple who received the food from me, both laughed and glanced at me. Is it my imagination or are they laughing at me?Emily brought me to the counter and said, "I know you were married recently and have a great husband, but do you have to flaunt it like this?" "How many times do I have to advise you not to refer to him in that manner?"She put her hand on my neck and whispered, "Listen to me, Do you want all of our customers to know what a wonderful night you had?""What!?"I dashed to the restroom to see what it was. When I looked at my neck, I thought, "A hickey?" Can he really do this to me? Now I see why everyone was staring at me. I'm humiliated. I'll start by changing my shirt.When I exited the restro

Isabella's pov;"What exactly are you doing here?" While I was serving the customers, I asked Mr Martinez."Of course, for eating." And slid onto the seat.Since he was at my table, I took his order and murmured, "Don't eat outside very much."Suddenly, he kissed my cheeks and whispered, "Thank you for being concerned about me, but how will I see you then?"Out of shyness, I dashed to the restroom after giving the orders at the service area. What made him suddenly kiss me? I should have become angry at him, but instead I ran over here. When I looked in the mirror, my cheeks and ears were as red as Tomato. You are not a teen! Stop getting shy just from an unexpected kiss! I got out of the bathroom after washing my face when I heard a knock on the door.When I was going to leave after serving Mr Martinez, he looked around and commented, "Looks like you're getting a lot of customers.""Since the CEO of Skyland corporation started eating here, many people have been here to try it.""Am I

Isabella's pov;When I first walked inside the restaurant, I was startled by the bursting sound, which caused me to jump in the air. When I opened my eyes, which had been closed due to the sound's force, colourful confetti rained down all over the room, even on me."Congratulations, Bella!" Everyone yelled at the same time."What exactly is this? Is it true that our restaurant made the news?" I inquired of them, unsure of what was going on."Stop thinking about the restaurant all the time," Emily murmured with a brush of her hand over my brow."Then what is the point of the celebration?"A voice from behind me replied. "It's a wedding present for you." It was Dylan who I saw as I turned around.Emily took my hand in hers and pointed to my ring finger, saying, "You claimed you were going to a friend's wedding, but you actually went to get married. Here's where we need an explanation."They all nodded in unison when I looked at them."Is it true that you're working against me? I'm the o

Isabella's pov;"It's surprising since you were the one who made the call." Julian teased me while holding a glass of wine in his hand.I said, "It's been a hell of a week and I needed a break." And placed the glasses for Carlos and Jack.Carlos took a look around and asked, "How's your restaurant now? You changed the decor?""Yeah, I wanted some change and the restaurant is getting back on track. When we explained it to the people, some believed us and some didn't. Our regulars spoke for the restaurant and tweeted many good things about the restaurant. As a result, we started getting customers even though it's a small amount but it's good. We're catching up. By the way, Why didn't you bring Leah with you?" "She's still in her hometown. What about Gia? Did you call her?""Yeah, I did. She said she's on a business trip." And drinked from my glass.Zoey, "Bella, Can I leave? I have a class to attend tomorrow.""Yeah, yeah. Just go. I'll take care of it."After Zoey left, I said to Carl
