2020-08-13 09:00:49That feeling when you were taking your time while enjoying the fantastic ride of endless good things in your sleep and then suddenly a loud noise banged your eardrums leaving you with no choice but to open your eyes and see what was the cause of such disturbance. Anyone would definitely feel bad, not to mention when it happened early in the morning.
Audrey felt exactly the same when she was in the middle of munching a giant chocolate wall in her dream. Her mood drastically dropped from 100 to -1. Without opening her eyes, she roamed her hands on the side where her ringtone could be heard. She had no idea of who was calling her that early and she was ready to pull the trigger of her very own mouthchine gun.
"Good morning, chef Audrey. This is Secretary Lim of Gourmet Gold Enterprise," a man's voice greeted her from the other line.
"Good morning, how can I help you?" she responded.

She shrugged and gave him a small smile while saying, “Nothing,” as a response.“Are you still worried about that guy in the supermarket?” Nathan blurted out.Audrey squinted her eyes, putting down a bag of potatoes on the kitchen counter. “I bet I saw that guy somewhere though I couldn’t exactly tell where.

Audrey was never been really confident when it comes to wearing dresses. She was more comfortable wearing her chef’s uniform.

And after what happened on that day, she never got the courage to keep trying.Nathan would always tell her how she’s beautiful, and she remembered how she laughed it off.

Wearing a beige-colored sleeveless gown with only strings of artistic thread hanging on her left shoulder, its upper garment draping tightly her chest down to her torso, exposing her plump cleavage, with a knee-length slit on the right side of the flowing skirt, revealing her slender legs, Audrey was no doubt the star of the night. With the white and peach floral accents, skillfully hand-sewed by the tailor, added with blue rosebuds and dark green leaves, she was like an epitome of goddess stuck in between two seasons; a serene maiden, patiently waiting for the end of fall and a magnificent fairy of spring, adorned with flourishing flowers.‘Stunning,’ Shane believed as he followed the lady with his gaze. He held his breath for a while as he watched her strolled towards them. His subconscious intentionally ignored the blond hunk, walking by Audrey’s side. Her beauty was captivating, enough for him to be min

A sip of wine was never enough to relieve Audrey’s nerves. She was playing tough in front of Harrison Smith while having a brief discussion regarding their future collaboration but the truth was, her system was in red alert to prevent the chaos inside her, or she might blurt out something unnecessary.Plus, there was a certain man who couldn’t keep his eyes on something but her. Audrey wanted to roll her eyes on Shane when the latter silently gaped at her. If she was in her teenage years, she’d probably shriek like a manic fangirl, but she already grew up. Shane had gone older too, and a few days ago before she stepped out at the arrival door of the airport, she swore she would never fall for him again. At least, that’s what she thought which later on, after their confrontation, she realized it wasn’t as easy as she thought it would be.

“You left me on our wedding day, remember?”Audrey pursed her lips. She held on his arm gripping on her waist, and slowly… Yes! Intimidatingly, she stepped forward, getting closer to him. Her eyes were locked on his dark iris, mesmerized by his pair of orbs in the darkest shade of brown; almost black, opposite to hers.Ten years ago, she believed that opposite attracts. She was relatively glad when she actually realized the huge differences between her and Shane. From their looks and social standing, she was always at the disadvantage and just like how the heavens favored him, he got everything she didn’t have; endless growing talents, outstanding physical attributes, and influence.“Tomorrow will be the third day.

‘What? Is he going to apologize for bullying me? Well, if he sincerely says he’s sorry then I don’t have a choice but to accept it.’Audrey waited for him to continue on what he was trying to say. A little delighted to hear his sincere apology.“I wanted to say that… I’m sorry for leaving you before,” Tristan said. His eyes were solemnly looking at her. “If I have known that my parents were planning to move, I should have had a lot of fun with you then.” He stroked her face with his hand and fondled her earring. “When I heard the news about your accident… I was troubled and the distress won’t disappear. I should have pinched your bun-like face harder. What if you died in the accident an

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.

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.

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?
