Chapter 5

• Chapter 5 :
• Nyla’s Pov
• After an hour of awkwardness while eating breakfast, I am really relieved to survive this awkward situation that I'm in. I decided to stand up when I was done drinking water.
• “ Did you enjoy the food Mrs. Adair?” Mrs Victoria asked when she walked in front of me with a smile on her face.
• I looked at her in the face , feeling awkward again and nervous as I replied to her “ Yes… I enjoyed the food Mrs. Victoria and thank you for the delicious food you prepared for me “ I thanked her.
• “I'm glad you liked the food we prepare for you Mrs. Adair and I hope you will continue to love it in the future, “ she said, still smiling.
• In the future she said…. I don't know if I can promise that it will happen because I know my marriage with him will end eventually.
• “ I am not sure about that Mrs. Victoria,” I said to her with uncertainty in my voice.
• I just heard Mrs. Victoria laughed suddenly which surprised me. “ What is so funny ?” I asked her, confused.
• “ I am sorry Mrs. Adair , I can't help but laugh because how can you determine what will happen in the future that is not yet to happen? “ She explained and asked a question at the same time.
• I was surprised at what she said but my surprise was replaced immediately with uncertainty, “ Mrs. Victoria, our future was already written and planned which is why it is anticipated to happen no matter what “ I said to her in a serious voice while suppressing the sadness inside me.
• “Are you really sure about that? Because even though the future was written and bound to happen there is the slightest chance that the future you anticipated will change along the way dear” She said in defense while looking straight in my eyes. Making me uncertain of the words that I had said to her earlier.
• I could not think of any way to counter attack what she said because she had a point. But still I know nothing will change about the future I had with Van Adair because it is hopeless.
• “ It's not hopeless dear, I know it's not” Mrs. Victoria commented as if she read what was inside my head. “ Trust me” she said in a serious but assuring voice. As if Mrs. Victoria knew that her words were right.
• “ Is that so?” I asked in unsure voice “ anyway Mrs. Victoria I should get going. I need to go to work, thank you again for the food. “ I thank her again as I excuse myself to leave for work.
• Which made me feel scared that her words are true,that's why I need to escape her before she makes me think weird things inside my mind.
• “ Okay, good luck with work please be careful Mrs. Adair”Mrs. Victoria said she wished me safety and good luck.
• I just nod at her as a reply and quickly left in the dining room with confuse feeling form after hearing Mrs. Victoria's weird words. Argh! I need to focus and forget what we talked about because it was just nonsense. I will forget about this weird feeling inside my heart while I am at work!
• Yes , let's focus on working!
• “ Good morning Mrs. Adair “ A man in a suit greeted me as I was going out from the front door of the house.
• I was confused and somewhat surprised at seeing the man in a suit greeted me all of sudden “ Good morning also Mr.?”
• “ Cruz David Mrs. Adair, I will be your permanent driver “ He introduce himself to me as Mr. Cruz bowed to me.
• Eh.. Did I just hear him right?
• “ Mr. Cruz, nice to meet you but I'm sorry I didn't hire anyone to be my driver . You must be mistaken “ I apologize to him sincerely, telling him I didn't hire anyone to be my driver.
• “ No, it's okay Mrs. Adair , Mrs. Victoria assigned me to be your permanent driver “ He explained to me.
• What?!
• “ I see “ I commented in a nervous voice , “ But I don't need a ride , for I could just use my bicycle to go to work “ I replied, rejecting the offer.
• Mr. Cruz just smiled at me “ I'm sorry but Mrs. Victoria had informed that I had to escort you to working place Mrs. Adair whether you like it or not “ He said calmly and gently grabbed my arm and pushed me inside the car before I could start protesting at him.
• “ What I reall-” I was about to protest again when I see the look of Mr. Cruz in the rear mirror who became serious all of the sudden went gone the man who was smiling outside.
• “ What is the address of the place you are working Mrs. Adair?” He asked as his smiling face came back.
• I have no choice but to give up for now and tell him the address of the cafe I was working at. I just glance outside the window car , pretending to enjoy the scenery outside. I will just talk to Mrs. Victoria that I don't need a driver to escort me to work later.
• “ You can drop me off in here Mr. Cruz” I commanded him when I was almost near in the cafe.
• “ Are you sure Mrs. Adair!?” He asked, making sure.
• I nod at him as a reply” Yes , thank you for driving me Mr. Cruz “ I thanked him before I stepped out of the car. Before he could say anything I immediately closed the door and walked away from the car.
• This is a good location to step out because no one will see the car. I really don't like being stared at or hearing someone gossiping behind my back. I quickly went to open the cafe and got inside.
• I am always the first one who would open the cafe because I am the owner and I want to make sure everything is in proper order before my employees start to arrive at work. I immediately start inventorying everything inside the cafe making sure that the supplies are complete . If it's not I will take note of it's lacking. I also check the equipment if they are functioning well and which equipment needs to be repaired or be thoroughly checked by our technical team.
• After an hour of inspecting everything,my employees started to arrive one by one and they immediately started preparing the cafe for opening. While I start to work on the paperwork that is inside my office that needs to be checked also.
• While I was reading the file for the latest accounting statement that my accounting staff had provided, someone suddenly knocked on my door which interrupted my reading.
• “ Yes?” I asked loudly in reply.
• “ You have a visitor ma'am” Ame replied , she's one of my employees.
• Huh? Who would visit me in the cafe? “ Who?” I asked in reply.
• “ It's your husband ma'am,” Ame replied in a nervous voice.
• Wait what?!
• I immediately got up from my desk and walked towards the door to open it. I saw Ame’s expression that she was serious because I saw Mr.Adair beside her looking at me with a blank expression on his face.
• What the hell is he doing here?!
