Chapter 118 Private Jet

• Mark and Victoria went to their bedroom to pack, he kissed his wife and said, “Sweetheart, take a nap. I will pack our luggage.” Since she was exhausted, she went to bed to take a nap. Mark had designed a beautiful dress for her to wear on Valentine’s Day. He didn’t want her to see it. He had arranged a romantic dinner for her. He quickly packed, then he called Mr Johnson, “Hello Mr Johnson, I designed a dress for Deon’s wife Debby as a gift for her to wear during their honeymoon. His mother liked the dress a lot. She asked Deon to refer him to the designer who designed her daughter-in-law’s dress to design a gown for her. I told Deon that I only designed for my wife. Since his mother is turning fifty in two months’ time, I promised to ask permission from you first.” Mr Johnson smiled and replied, “go ahead and design a gown for that lady. Mark, we miss you in the Johnson Group. You are so gifted. The baby clothes that you designed is selling like hot cakes. Sugar Lumps is very popular. We have received many orders. The Fashion Designer that replaced you is like an intern compared to you. I hope we won’t lose customers when the agreement is over.” Mark comforted him and said, “your Fashion Designer is not bad, he is still finding his feet. I believe he will do well. Thank you for allowing me to design a gown for Mrs Adams.” Then they hung up. At that moment, James walked into his father’s office with a document in his hand. His father was absent-minded, “what is wrong, Dad?” asked James with concern. His father smiled at his son and replied, “I was talking to Mark, I wish he was still in our company. He is so gifted, but we lost him because of Serene. I wish you had listened to me when I told you that Serene is not a good woman.” James couldn’t refute his father’s words; he was blinded by one-sided love. “Do you need something?” James told him that he needed his signature. He signed his name and handed the document back to James, then left the office with a heavy heart. He didn’t have faith in the new Fashion Designer either, Mark was a gem.
• At 11 am, Mark woke up his wife. She took a quick shower, Mark helped her to hair dry her hair and dressed her up. Their luggage was already in the car, he drove his car to OR Tambo Airport. Mark bought his private jet two years ago. He planned to take his wife on holidays with it when he got married. It was a luxurious private jet, its lavish space inside looked like the penthouse version, it was limited to ten people. There was a master bedroom with a spacious en-suite bathroom and two other bedrooms with their own bathrooms. It had a dining room, a lounge, and a full-sized fitted kitchen. He arranged with His Wings restaurant to deliver his wife’s favourite food on the plane. When they arrived, his pilot greeted them with respect. Victoria was very impressed when she saw the luxurious private jet and asked her husband, “Baby, wow so beautiful, who is the owner of this private jet?” Mark smiled and replied, “It’s ours my beautiful wife.” Victoria smiled at her husband and said, “it is beautiful, my love.” Since Mark and his wife were already in the plane, the pilot departed at 12:30 pm. The flight attendant gave them delicious food. Victoria was smiling sweetly at her husband for being a good husband. The flight arrived at King Shaka International Airport before the scheduled time. They went to Avis to collect their rented car. “Where are we staying, my handsome husband?” Mark smiled and replied, “we are staying in a Villa at Zimbali Resort. It is a Zulu name meaning “valley of flowers,” it is nestled between a shimmering Indian Ocean and a forest reserve. Nature rejuvenates the mind and soul; we will be able to watch bushbucks, ocean-dwelling dolphins, and whales as well as colorful birds on our doorstep.” It took them less than 15 minutes to reach the resort from the airport. They went to the foyer to check in, the porter took them to their Villa. It was elegantly and immaculately furnished, with a sumptuous king-sized bed and a fully equipped kitchen. It had a lounge and dining room. When she was looking at the balcony she saw the ocean. This place was breathtaking beautiful. The sea breeze was refreshing since they didn’t have the ocean in Johannesburg. Mark had hired Chef Ray to cook for them. “My beautiful wife, let’s take a nap, I will wake you up when dinner is ready.” Mark took his wife in his arms. Victoria quickly fell asleep since she was exhausted. Mark called his father and his father-in-law to tell them that they had arrived safely in Durban.
• At that moment, he heard someone knocking on the door. He went to look. Chef Ray was standing by the door with bags of raw food. Chef Ray smiled brightly at him, they met at Mark and Victoria’s Engagement Banquet. He was hired by Victoria’s father to cook at the banquet. They greeted each other; Mark helped him with the bags, then he showed him the kitchen. He was a famous Chef. Mark told him that they would eat dinner at 6 pm. He asked him to cook seafood for dinner, then he left him alone in the kitchen. Chef Ray put food in the fridge and into the cupboards. He decided to make Garlic Butter Lobster Skillet with vegetables and lobster salad with avocado. He washed the vegetables and the lobster. Since it was early, he washed the plates and the cutlery, then he heated the plates. He took the plates and the cutlery and walked to the dining room to set the table. He made a marinade, then he removed the shell from the lobster tail, then he baked it for 10 minutes. It was tender on the inside. He took a dish and placed the lettuce leaves, tomatoes, pomegranate seed, mango, and avocado. When the lobster tail was fully cooked and tender inside, he took it out of the oven to cool. Then he sliced the lobster tail and placed it on the salad. At 5:30 pm he started to cook vegetables. At 5:40 he started cooking Garlic Butter Lobster Skillet in a pan. He placed the food on the dining room table. It looked delicious; it was mouthwatering. He saw Mark and his wife coming to the dining room hand in hand. He greeted Victoria with a smile. Victoria smiled back at him. She smiled at her husband sweetly and hugged his arm. Mark thanked Chef Ray, then he helped his wife to sit down. They started eating. It melted in their mouths. It was super delicious; Victoria was grinning from ear to ear.
