Greta bit her lip hard, trying desperately to keep the tears from falling.Don't you dare cry, I won't soften just because you're a woman, Ryan muttered with his arms folded across his chest Greta swallowed, her eyes stared intently at Ryan she swore in her heart that she would never shed a single tear in front of that arrogant man. Even though she didn't turn her head, for some reason she knew Liam was smiling slyly beside her."Liam, you're in charge of this, you know very well about it don't you?" Ryan said turning his gaze towards Liam's."Yes chef, I take full responsibility! Liam said, straightened his back. Greta frowned, suddenly she felt strange with the situation she was in now, was someone deliberately did that to her?"And you," Ryan turned his gaze to Greta, "If I caught you once again mess up an important event at this restaurant, you should immediately find another internship place with your work routine like that you will never be a good chef," said flatly."You both w
Greta and Ryan looked at each other, she suddenly felt the tightness in her chest, she took a deep breath and then rubbed her face frantically. Everything would make more sense if Liam did that bad thing to her, but Amy? How could it be......"I will talk to Amy," Ryan said flatly. "Don't!" Greta looked up in surprise. Ryan looked at Greta with a questioning look. Greta squeezed her fingers in confusion, "We don't know for sure yet....." Ryan snorted, "Are you blind? isn't the person we saw on the CCTV not her? I have to talk to her, I won't let this kind of people work for me," he muttered, from his face, Greta could see that he didn't want to be denied. Greta looked down massaging her forehead which suddenly felt dizzy."Prepare the cake for brunch you don't have to work until closing today, go home at 4:00am," Ryan said as he turned and walked away from her."Chef!" called Greta as Ryan was almost out of sight Ryan turned his head, looking at her with a very obvious 'don't stop me'
Greta was stirring her black coffee when her cell phone rang loudly, a video call from her sister in-law Rachel Specter. She pressed the green button then stuck her phone to the refrigerator door so she could talk while making toast."Hey, you haven't left for work yet?" Rachel asked cheerfully."I got the afternoon shift, what are you doing? Are you with Noah?""No he's at the office, I'm taking a photoshoot break, I have something to tell you!" Rachel's voice sounded so excited it made Greta stop her hand that was spreading peanut butter on the bread. She looked at Rachel with a curious face, "What is it?" Rachel seemed to move something out of her handbag and then showed it to Greta. "What's that?" asked Greta with a frown."You really don't know what this is?" Rachel shook her head in disbelief. Greta just grimaced while scratching her head."You're going to be an aunt!"Greta shrieked as she threw her toast on the marble table,"You're not joking,are you?! Did the other already
Greta looked up the sky was cloudy but it had not started raining yet. She pulled here coat close and walked down the sidewalk at her leisurely pace. Lately, she preferred to walk than ride a vehicle. By walking there were more things she could see and that could make her felt more at peace.Minutes later when she was just walking few meters away, it raining heavily, she looked up, surprised. She rushed to the nearest bus stop and stood in a corner so she wouldn't get splashed by the rain. Usually, she would feel annoyed but she didn't know why she felt peace in her heart. Her feet stepped to the front of the bus stop and then she reached out slightly pale from the cold that hit her skin.There was a feeling of tightness in her chest, a tightness that appeared at times that were often unexpected. For some unknown reason, Greta always felt lonely, maybe it's because her subconscious was still hit by betrayal that Mike did to her. As if rejecting the trauma she experienced, the other si
"Have you heard about Liam?" Terry asked as he met Greta in front of the locker room. "Yeah, how bad is he?" asked Greta stopped her step."pretty bad, he broke his right ankle, he's out of work for a while but I'm sure Ryan is looking for a replacement.Greta nodded, "okay I will change first," she said and then entered the locker room. She let out a long sigh, the absences of Liam meant she will have to work alone until they got a new pastry chef.Greta felt hesitant when she stepped into the kitchen especially with Ryan's presence standing near her work section."Good morning, chef," Greta greeted without looking at Ryan.Ryan looking up, "Good morning I will help you to dot the preparations after that we will spend two hours before lunch, rehearsed for the the show," he said quickly as if he didn't want to be interrupted by Greta.Yes, chef," Greta replied quickly looking at the list of desserts she had to make. When she and Ryan were both crouching I'm front of the storage cabine
"Um, no thanks chef, I'm fine," decided Greta at last Ryan shrugged off then turned around, leaving Greta who stood in front of the giant glass window in silence. "I have the right decision! yes, I could conquer my own feeling, I won't fall in love that fast again! Never!" mumbled Greta to herself. After managed her breath, she walked hastily to the locker.But Ryan was right, the rain wouldn't stop pouring even after Greta reached the ground floor. She opened her cellphone tried to order some online taxis but none of them accept her order. As the rain got heavier and the wind blew harder, Greta became very scared. She looked around the entrance lobby, there was no one because the mall ha been closed since 6:00 in the evening. From a distance she could see some of the securities guards in their room, probably drinking their hot coffee. She started to right her decision to rejected Ryan's offer."What should I do, I don't know anyone except Amy but she hated me......" mumbled Greta sa
Greta was eating her burger verociously when when suddenly someone sat across from her. She looked up and he face became surprised. "There are no empty tables," Ryan mumbled as Greta looked at him with furrowed brows. She looked around the room and what Ryan said was true, all the tables seemed to be full of people enjoying the lunch."I don't know a mechlin star chef would eat the kind of burger too," Greta muttered half joking she opened her mouth wide and continued to bite her burger."The mechlin stars chef are human too," replied Ryan in with his usual flat tone. Greta sneered but agree to his words. She looked at Ryan as she munched on her burger, contemplating asking about what was going between him and Kate. But suddenly she would sound like someone likes to meddle I. other people's business."Excuse me, are you chef Ryan Lewis?" suddenly two girls appeared Ryan. From their appearance, they seemed to be around 22 years old. "Yes?" Ryan looked at the two girls with a straight
Suddenly a car pulled over and someone out of the car, he ran over and catch Greta in his arms. "Hey, hey Greta! what happening?" It was Ryan who stood in front of her. With relief she hugged him tightly and cried on his chest. Ryan's body stiffened, he just tapped her back gently several times to calmed her down.When she felt better, just realized what she was doing, she hurriedly pulled herself away from Ryan's arm."I'm sorry, was so panicked someone followed me but where's he? she looked around tried to find anyone but there was no one there. Ryan walked around location where Greta was standing and also found nothing but a swiss army knife that was still warm. Somebody must have runaway in a hurry and accidentally dropped that knife from his grip. He put that knife in his pocket and decided not to tell Greta anything, he didn't want to Scare her."There's no one there, let's go In the car," said Ryan, his voice sounded so gentle that Greta felt secured. "But I swear to God there
