            [ HAZEL EYES… ]
•⟨ RESTAURANT’S KITCHEN ⟩•
Captivating brown eyes, red juicy lips and brown hair pushed back. With muscles that flexed sexily as he stirred the soup in a pot. With these fine features, one would suggest he took a career in front of the screens but cooking is his life.
His full concentration was on the ingredients and soup in front of him. The cooks could be seen watching him keenly like some kind of flawless teacher.
Well maybe he is a flawless teacher, he’s a perfectionist when it comes to food.
While they were still at it, two waiters and a nervous looking waitress rushed in but hushed when he raised a finger up. He closed his eyes to have a whiff of the aroma and sound from the soup he was making
“We paid our taxes right?” He asked when he opened his eyes and they nodded
“Chef Adam, there’s a big problem out there with one of the costumers” One of them said and he snapped his gaze up creasing his brows
“I.. I’m sorry… I messed up the orders… Instead of the regular beef and fish, I served the spicy one…” The waitress stuttered taking in her lip.
Adam sighed rubbing his forehead, he wouldn’t blame her as she started working here few days back, there’s a tendency for her to mix orders up but she had to swap the spicy soup really?
The spicy one is for special customers with special orders. Gosh!
“That’s not even the worse of it. She’s threatened to sue the restaurant for poisoning” The other waiter spoke and he looked up
“What?!” He said and they nodded
“I’ll go have a word with him”
“Her… A lady sir” Someone corrected and he smirked before going outside
Adam halted at a distance, shocked at the situation in the room. The table Chloe had pushed over was still in that position, then her face, he shuddered when he saw how disheveled she looked
She was almost turning blue. She held her neck with one hand while drinking water with the other.
“Okay… This is bad, let’s all run away” He said and the waiters behind him hummed in agreement
He glared at them and they bowed
Suddenly, Chloe threw the glass across the room and all attention was turned to her
“I want y’all’s boss here right now. Don’t make me drag this godforsaken place to court cos it’s gonna be a long case of attempted murder” She glared taking off her jacket
“Get me a glass of lemonade, quickly” Adam ordered folding his arms, he collected the glass from the waitress who got it and heaved a deep breath before walking towards the scene
👥 OMG..it’s him, the sexy chef
👥 So it’s true. I finally saw him
👥 Gawd!! His lips, so red and kissable
👥 One night Adam. I’ll give you all the naughty styles
Adam ignored their comments, he’s heard a lot and that’s why he’s always in the kitchen to avoid listening to more
“Here. It’ll stop the spiciness” He pointed the lemonade and Chloe snatched it gulping quickly
“You own this death zone?” She asked after drinking all the content of the cup
“Yeah. Look I apologise for the trouble we caused. It was a careless mix-up and I assure you it’ll never happen again” He apologized
👥 Hell! His voice made me cum
“Shut up people!!” Chloe snapped angrily and everywhere became quiet. Adam gulped and blinked, why is she so fierce?
Chloe then pointed at the foods on the floor
“I’m still not satisfied. The food has been wasted what do I do now?” She snapped and Adam sighed
“Please calm down…” He was cut off by his phone’s ringtone. He curved his lips when the caller ID popped up
“Give her a coupon” He said to someone and walked out with a sweet smile playing on his lips
👥 I wonder what’s making him smile
“This is a coupon ma’am, the first to be given out actually. I must say you’re very lucky” The lady said pointing a coupon at Chloe
Chloe glared at her and collected the paper angrily
“I’m lucky? Y’all are lucky I’m in a good mood. Cause this is bullsh!t, This place is bullshit…F*ck, I should have stuck with Gemini’s instead” She rasped and picked her things before storming out
“God, she’s scary”
“I swear…she’s lucky tho, boss actually gave her a coupon despite not being a regular”
“That was a strategy, so she wouldn’t be too angry to the extent of filing a case dumbass”
The workers conversed within themselves as they cleared the mess up.
Adam returned to the restaurant looking pissed off and sad in a way. He was running a hand in his hair furiously as his chest rose and fell
“Chef Adam…”
“Not now!” He snapped and went to the inner room
✨✨✨✨
⟨ 7PM~~E. ENTERPRISES ⟩
“You’re going with me to a dinner meeting. Jameson called” Royce said to Sierra as he stepped out of his office. He was looking intently at her waiting her reaction but got none, his lips curved to a frown
Sierra shrugged and began walking in front of him while he followed behind
“Hey Ms. Davies. Is everything alright with you?” He asked when he couldn’t hold it in anymore.
“No!” She replied
“Huh? What happened?”
“You… Stop pestering me” She said grumpily and pressed the button on the elevator
“Now that hurts” He touched his chest and she stared blankly at him then stepped into elevator, he entered too and the door closed
“Why isn’t it moving?” She asked narrowing her brows when the elevator didn’t move after pressing a button
“Did you spoil something?” Royce stepped forward and she scoffed
“You think?” She rolled her eyes and he nodded cheekily, the lift suddenly made a screech sound going down with great speed causing them to jerk and fall on the floor
CRASH*
The elevator landed roughly.
“F*ck!!!!” Sierra shouted breathing heavily
“What was that… Gosh!” Royce exhaled,
They were on the floor with Sierra on top of him facing up, her hair sprawled on his face. His hands wrapped around her waist protectively
“Did you get hurt?” He asked and she shook her head, he pushed her hair from his face
“You have nice hair. It smells nice too” He complimented and she smirked cockily
“That’s because I use the best hair products Mr.” She bragged
“You have great a** too” He flirted and she gasped getting aware of their intimate posture
“You’re such an a**” She snapped and tried getting up which she did successfully
He chuckled before getting up too
“I’m serious tho. I really like your a$$” He jibed
“Is that how you flirt? I know my a$$ is fine, try something else” She snapped frowning and he smiled
“I flirt like this…” He said moving towards her but then the door burst open revealing some technicians and engineers looking worried
Sierra heaved a deep breath and quickly got out, too bad they ruined whatever flirting plans he had.
He faced them now frowning deeply which got Sierra wondering if he’s the same person who was flirting with her a while ago. Royce opened his mouth about to snap but she beat him to it
“Just do whatever you can to fix it before tomorrow” She said and dragged Royce with her while the technicians heaved a sigh of relief
They’d seen their jobs dangling in front of them when Royce made to speak. Sierra just saved them big time
Sierra dragged Royce till they got to his car, he faced her looking angry
“What was that for?” He asked
“You were going to fire them” She said
“We almost died in there. So what have they been doing lazing around in my company” He ranted and she scoffed
“You don’t expect them to sleep in the elevators to check if something’s spoilt do you? And besides, they found out on time and are there to fix it so chill brother” She sighed
Royce let out a long sigh and huffed
“You’re driving” He gave her the keys and she shrugged
“I don’t mind. Tch…” She scoffed and they got into the silver Bentley
They reached the restaurant, she parked and they got out entering the restaurant
“Where’s he?” Sierra asked looking around as they settled in one of the VIP booths.
“He bunked us…so we’ll just eat and leave” Royce said simply and she gasped glaring at him
” You knew?” She asked
“Just now” He grinned, a waitress brought food and dropped it on their table
Sierra watched dumbstruck, when did they order or was this his plan too
“Jameson and I already planned our orders” Royce said after seeing her reaction
” You’re…such a…”
“What?” He teased and she shook her head, chuckling.
“A wimp” She said
He rolled his eyes and smiled secretly looking at her as she kept grinning
He didn’t plan this, Jameson really stood him up, but he doesn’t regret either. Weird right?

⟨ NEXT DAY~~EASTON’S APARTMENT ⟩
“Sh*t! Presley” Easton groaned against Presley’s lips as they kept moving sweetly against his.
They’d watched a movie and it ended not to long ago, a moment of saying nothing led to their make out. Both were experiencing crazy things within them as they explored each other
Presley gasped sharply when his hands found its way under her shirt to cup her boob.
“Ohh..” She moaned and Easton lost it, he started unbuttoning the shirt quickly but Presley stopped him breaking the kiss
“I..um…we shouldn’t do that now” She stuttered shyly and stood up. She bent back and pecked him before dashing out
He pouted and looked at his pants, he was aroused already. Damn!
A message popped in his phone and he picked it without checking what it was he clicked on it
He gasped, it was Miley again, nude with another sinful pose. He sucked on breath and looked longingly at it
…
Presley danced around her apartment with a dress in her hand, she had to attend Connor’s anniversary tonight. Her cheeks were bright red from blushing, after making out with Easton
She can’t believe, he almost undressed her.
“Naughty..” She bit her lip and continued scanning the dress. Her phone beeped and she limped to get it, it was a message from Chloe to meet
“Hmm… Okay” She texted back and sighed, pouting childishly. She has to admit that she misses Sierra, her ego just doesn’t want to let her
Maybe she’ll see her today… She thought and sighed falling back in the bed
✨✨✨✨
ROYCE’S MANSION
Eve sat in the living room watching TV idly. Royce wasn’t home, not like he’d keep her company if he was.
He’s ignored her when he got back last night and she was mad about that already. She couldn’t help but wonder if he’d gone to one of those ladies he f*cks.
The door opened and Raymond walked in holding a small travel bag. He was back to complete the project he had come initially for
“Baby…” Eve paused when she saw Raymond. She rolled her eyes and sat down
“Blood of Jesus. A witch is in my brother’s house” He gasped and out of nowhere he was holding a chaplet
“Quit being dramatic Ray. What are you doing here huh?” Eve snapped and he chuckled eyeing her
“I’m in my brother’s house EVERLEIGH, I should be asking you that instead, who are you and what are you doing here?” He stressed and she bit her lip hard, anger rushing through her veins already.
How she hates this kid with her heart, mind and soul. She hates him with every fiber in her. He’s one of the reasons, her and Royce’s relationship came to a halt and now that she hopes to fix it, he’s appeared
Wasn’t he supposed to be in college?
“I’m waiting…” He checked his watch looking serious
” Well I’m here as Royce’s girlfriend, and subsequently life partner”
” No way…” He roared a mocking laughter that angered her more
“You’re so sure. If my memory serves me right, you mean nothing than a f*ckbuddy to Royce right now. Life partner, pfft..more life threatener, you’re a threat to my bros life” He mocked and moved forward
” How dare you Raymond. Show me some respect” she shouted and he laughed
” Everleigh, I really hate you because you’re always after Royce. Now, I don’t respect you because you’re dreaming big with him in it” He started climbing the stairs
” I’m back and I’ll make sure to send you packing quickly. Blood of Jesus, blood of Jesus!” He chanted swaying the chaplet as he went upstairs
” Agh..” She shouted, when she thought everything was going fine then he just had to come back
Raymond!!
✨✨✨✨✨
LATER, FUN HOUSE
“Say something you two, it took me lots of efforts to get you girls here” Chloe whined looking at Presley and Sierra who sat like strangers
She’d texted them saying none will meet another but turns out they were tricked
“Efforts? You mean texting?” Sierra smirked and Presley smiled, she’s missed that sense of humor lately
“Yeah, so reconcile already” Chloe pouted bashing her lashes
Presley looked at Sierra, while Sierra clicked her tongue
Silence followed. Chloe sighed exasperatedly, dealing with two women whose ego is as big as the earth was something worth getting a reward for
“Sierra, why do you hate Easton?” Chloe asked
“It’s a free world, I have a right to hate don’t I?” Sierra replied and Chloe nodded
“Well you should have a reason” Presley snapped and Chloe smiled, at least they’re making progress, she sat back listening
“He’s not a keeper” Sierra said turning to look at her
“And how are you so sure?” Presley asked
“I have no reason. I feel it and I’m just looking out for you but you seem to have lost your head in this love so do what you wish”
” Thank you” Presley threw her hands up
” Welcome” Sierra said sarcastically and they scoffed at each other
“Now hug” Chloe jibed and they glared at her so she sank back into her chair
“Just be careful Pres.” Sierra mumbled
“I’m being careful Sierra. I like like him alot and he does too… It feel different this time” Presley muttered and Sierra sighed
” That compass dude whipped you bad”
“Compass?”
“Yes, yunno, East, West, South and North?” Sierra explained and they laughed
” Group hug?” Chloe suggested and they hugged
“So I almost died yesterday, guess why?” She said after they disengaged
Presley and Sierra exchanged glances
“Because of food?”
“Nooooo”
“Yes….” They laughed while she frowned
“You girls are unbelievable” She snapped and went to the stage to sing
“So another dinner?” Presley asked and Sierra nodded
” I’ll bring my best mood this time… Hopefully” She shrugged and Presley hugged her giggling
“I love you more than anything”
“I hate you more than you love me” Sierra pushed her away and she laughed
“Lies!”
“Truth!!”
“Hey I heard Royce has a girlfriend. Everleigh Scott? Wow!” Presley said and Sierra scrunched her face up
” There’s nothing wow about that.”
“There is, she’s so pretty and camera perfect, I’ve seen a few of her shows down the runway and she nailed it” Presley gushed
“Just camera perfect, otherwise, she’s really arrogant” Sierra said frowning
” Well isn’t that how it works, rich guys always date arrogant ladies…”
” Leo was rich but I’m not arrogant…I wasn’t…” Sierra said referring to her ex and Presley nodded
“But they look good together tho” Presley said and Sierra blinked
” Hmm…Yeah”
” Let’s go since… Chloe’s murdering that song and it’s calling for help” Presley said dramatically and ran towards the stage
Sierra smiled shortly, then pouted.
“That chicken head” She cussed not knowing why she did and who she meant it for
“Chicken head!” She laughed before going to join the girls on stage
✨✨✨✨
⟨ 8PM~~ MCCAULEY’S RESIDENCE ⟩
It’s Connor and Bora McCauley’s 30th wedding anniversary and it’s being celebrated in style and grandeur. The mansion is decorated with bright gold lightings, the chandelier hung hugely above the ground.
It’s lavish.
Different people of dignified positions are here to wish them a happy anniversary. Connor’s lawyers also came to celebrate along.
“I am the bride here but Presley didn’t let me shine either, hunny, I’m jealous” Bora whined and Presley laughed. She was indeed dragging the spotlight with Mrs McCauley because of how attractive she looked
She wore a black gown slit up to the thigh and golden heels with few jewelry to match. Her hair was curled and made wavy to fall on the sides of her face. She looked absolutely breathtaking that most of the men couldn’t stop looking
Connor had a proud smile on his face as he listened to both women
“Excuse me ladies” He said and went to join a few men leaving Bora and Presley to talk
“So how are you dear?” Bora asked and she smiled
“I’m fine aunt”
Bora has three sons so she regards Presley her daughter
After random chit chats, Bora left to speak with some of her friends. Presley walked cautiously to the food stand and got a drink for herself
“Wassup Presley” Vic grinned standing beside her
“Bathroom is what’s up” She winked and walked away to the bathroom
After doing her business, she washed her hands and massaged her ankle before deciding to leave the restroom.
Immediately, she rounded the corner, she bumped into a wall… Okay, a firm muscular wall, she gasped and looked up only to find a pair of hazel eyes staring directly into hers
He held her waist so she wouldn’t fall
Presley smirked
“What do you need now, my autograph?” She asked and he left her waist
” You wish? ” He smirked
“Since you’ve become my biggest fan, even here you’ve followed me so I guess it’s fair I do that much for you” She said
” Why do you feel so entitled? “
” Why? That’s how I feel about you too… Great, you’ve started thinking like me. It’s the Presley effect, only few people survive it, I see potential in you…” She smirked
“Gosh!” He said and like they planned it, they folded their arms and scoffed eyeing each other
