Accidentally Married

“You can pick the chefs you want then I will ask Brian to set up a meeting with them,” Xavier said.

“I am so excited,” she said tapping her hands together. “I will get to visit all the cities they live in” she added. The excitement was pure in her face.

“Visit their cities?” Xavier asked confusion evident on their faces.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“Yeah since I would be learning from them I would be going to their restaurants to see how they usually prepare meals,” she said not minding the expression across his face.

“So are you planning to leave me all by myself here in Chiachester while you go around learning cooking that you are already so perfect at?” he asked and she blushed at the hidden compliment that he had given her.

“It’s going to be a few weeks, it will be better if I go over there to learn”

“I can not let you out of my sight even if it is for a day, how will I survive if you go for more than a day?” he asked now caressing her hands.

“Xavier, this is my career”

“I know and I want you to do well that is why I am suggesting the training but if you would be leaving me to go learn them I am not sure if I want to allow you to continue in this career” he added and she laughed.

“The chefs would be flown in to teach you, that is the method we shall take and that is final,” he told her and she laughed again.

“Why do you keep laughing?” he asked when she laughed again. He was being serious but she found the situation funny. What did she find funny about the situation they were in?

“I never pegged you as a man who would have this extreme jealousy and possessiveness,” she told him and he turned his head around.

“I am not possessive, I know that if you are not around me I will miss you badly and I will not be able to concentrate on work. Moreover, those chefs might be falling in love with you too”

“Xavier, not everyone would be interested in me,” she told him and he should his head.

“Anyone who is sane is always attracted to beauty”

“The food would be cold again” she whispered feeling her stomach tighten because of his compliment.

Even before he had confessed to her he had always called her pretty but hearing it always did something to her. Maybe his words were special.

“Feed me then,” he said keeping his mouth open and closing her eyes.

She shook her head as she heaped the spoon and put the whole contents into his mouth.

“There you go” she said dropping the spoon to his plate. She picked up her spoon and he collected the spoon from her hand before she could take food from the plate.

“What are you doing?” she asked shocked at his actions. He raised his hand in the air to signify that he did not want to reply because he was still chewing.

“Feeding you, you did not expect to eat it by yourself did you?” he asked as he took a decent amount of the food in the spoon and hovered it over her face.

“Come on, have a bite,” he said. She smiled and then took the spoon into her mouth.

“Oh my, what is that?” he asked as she covered her mouth up with her hand.

“What?” she asked with a full mouth.

He pulled her hand away and kissed the corner of her lips using his tongue to clean the sauce at the corner.

“There was some sauce there”

The next morning as Jessica and Xavier hurried out of the house Olivia devised a plan to ensure she kept Roselle busy so she could get the suits and flee from there. As She sat in the room trying her best to find the best way to go about her devious plan her phone vibrated.

She opened it and it was an image of Jessica entering into her restaurant. Those bastards had found Jessica and she had to act quickly. They were ruthless and would always do what they wanted without caring about the consequences.

Calling them and yelling would not solve the problem. All she needed to do was to find the money for them and they would leave her all. She checked the original market price of the suits in the room. Some of them cost up to five million. If she were able to grab at least six of the suits he would not notice and she would be out of their hair, free from debt, and even have enough money to spare to start life all over again.

She came out of the room, she was not expecting those men to call her after all the picture message was enough warning from them, and she did not need their voices to. She walked to the kitchen where Roselle was happily arranging the pantry.

“Hello Roselle,” she said taking a bottle of soda from the refrigerator and walking towards the pantry where she was walking so tirelessly.

“Hello, Ms. Joshua” Roselle answered her voice sounding as sad as she could make it be.

“I need something from the grocery store, can you help me go get them?” she asked.

“Me?” Roselle asked turning to face the woman who was brazenly standing there and sipping out of the soda bottle in her hand.

“Yes you, or do you expect me to go by myself?”

“Well, Ms. Joshua, just because I am being polite does not mean I am your servant, it just means that I am good at my job, I do not have the responsibility to go grocery shopping for you. If you need to get something you can ask one of the drivers to take you there” she said before turning back to her work.

Olivia took a deep breath. How was it that her plan since the beginning had been failing? She closed the cap of the bottle and dropped it on the table before storming out.

“What do I do now?”
