Everybody clap your hands to thank yourselves!” Audrey said while standing in front of her subordinates. The staff clapped their hands with a joyful smile on their faces. She smiled and raised a glass of wine before continuing her speech. “Now that we survive in the five-days pre-open event, it's time for us to give ourselves a break we all deserve! Let’s raise our glasses and cheers for our success! Cheers!” She exclaimed and signaled for the music to be played.
Nathan was sighing as he turned on the speaker in a minimum volume with some random party music. He watched his boss mingled with the others while leading the rest to get drunk. Audrey had been in high spirits since two days ago and Nathan had nothing to say about it. He was glad she didn’t look glum despite the news

It was Friday night. The next day would be their most awaited- weekends. Everyone in the restaurant was having fun with loud noises as they spoke with each other. That included Audrey who had a few bottles of beer and several glasses of wine already. Francesca was unexpectedly a heavy drinker. She drank a lot but was still in her sane. While Nathan, although he did have some wine for himself, he chose to keep quiet in the corner and watch the others enjoy instead. As much as he wanted to get drunk, he couldn’t or his boss would have to sleep on the floor if no one could drive her home.“Auddie, can you still drink?” Nathan asked when the lady walked towards him with a wide smile on her face. She was surprisingly social when she had alcohol in her system.“I’m fine, Nate. Don’t mind me. Why don’t you join Francesca?” Aud

‘No, this isn’t right,’ was the first thought that came to Audrey’s mind when Nathan’s lips pressed against hers. She pulled her senses together to push the guy away as she subconsciously wiped her lips with the back of her hands.Sure thing, Nathan saw how she did it and could only laugh about it inside his head. The answer was clear: he stood no chance in Audrey’s heart when his rival already had all the vacancies in it.“Nate, why did you do that?” Audrey asked him. She didn’t sound angry nor disgusted. She did her best to keep calm and avoid any unnecessary conflict with the other. Her eyes caught a glimpse of Nathan’s lonely gaze. “Nate…”“Audrey,” Nathan started while grabbing her hands and locked them in between

Shane watched Stephanie smirked in front of him. There were no people around in the driveway, but he could not care less about his action. The singer was not as simple as he thought. Who would have thought it was her who’s causing trouble for his relationship with Audrey? He wouldn’t think it was Stephanie if not for Lucy who tried to clear her name from his suspicion.The photos from the hotel, the news headline targeting Audrey, and the accident from five years ago were all surprisingly related to her. Shane wanted to have her pay double, but he needed evidence. And just like how he expected, Stephanie simply admitted all of them. There was only one question that remained unspoken; Why would she do that when he hadn’t met her before he supposedly got married to Audrey?“I don’t have any spare time to idle with you,” Stephanie sai

“Did you recorded that?” Lucy asked Jericho wh was busy doing something on his computer. “We can’t let this chance go or Shane would throw a fit that we couldn’t stop,” she added while impatiently waiting for a reply. Her fingers were anxiously tapping on the desk which annoyed the other.“Lucy, if you don’t want to get scolded then stop pestering me while I’m working,” Jericho responded while sucking on a lollipop. They were supposed to be hiding quietly inside the van parked a few meters away from Shane and Stephanie who were now having a touching moment. “Don’t make an unnecessary movement, or she’ll notice where here. Shane tried his best to drag and confront Stephanie here. If she finds out we’re eavesdropping, she’ll go wild for sure.”Lucy shrugged. She didn’t imagine her doing such a thing. For y

It had been a month since the last time Audrey saw Shane in person. She was missing him so much though she couldn’t lift her phone to dial his number nor compose a message. Her long face became her everyday mask. The staff in the restaurant were never tired of cheering her on. Not that she wanted to worry them, she could still do what she had to. And her current situation was something she had to face alone. She decided to trust Shane and while she was at it, Audrey thought it would be wiser not to bother the actor in the meantime. Calling him should be easy for her but who knew? Her action might cause him more trouble. She decided to wait, and she would endure it how long it may take.“Auddie, aren’t you going to take a break? You can let Nathan take your place for a while. You need to eat,” Francesca who became more talkative than usual said. She rarely talked in Italian thus the others could easily

Tears welled-up in Audrey’s eyes when she finally saw the man she was longing for after a month which seemed to be years of waiting. Her hands automatically moved to reach out to his face, she caressed him softly with nothing but tears of joy in her eyes.“Shane…” Audrey called out his name again. She blinked her eyes several times to make sure she wasn’t dreaming but her tears just blurred her sight instead. Shane wiped her tears with his thumb and smiled at her. “Shane,” Audrey whispered. She had a lot of things to say but her mouth didn’t want to cooperate with her. All she could mutter was his name and it had been three times since she called him out.“Yes, baby.

An awkward silence filled the car while Shane was driving home. He would throw glances at Audrey who kept wearing a serious face that terrified the other. The trip was long and the actor wished he could make the car sprint to the villa just so to avoid Audrey’s occasionally cold gazes. After what happened back in the restaurant, Shane suddenly felt intimidated. Why not? Audrey effortlessly beat him almost to a pulp. If not for Nathan and Francesca’s interruption, pulling Audrey away from him, the actor would be less than admirable with his bruises. Well, he didn’t blame Audrey a bit. He was aware of her ‘violent’ side beforehand. After all, he earned a kiss from her in advance. It was more than sufficient for him.“Have you had dinner?” Audrey took the chance to break the silence when Shane was parking the car on the driveway. She took a peek at the time on her digital wristwatch. Sh
