The Billionaire’s Son Chose Me!

Ray’s brows creased when Arya spilled milk on the table, he noticed her hands were shaking..

“Are you alright?” Ray mumbled in worry..

Arya avoided staring at him because next to him sat his father, she couldn’t bring herself to look him in the eyes after last night..

She could feel his piercing stare on her and panicked even more, she failed to understand why she was reacting this way..

Charlotte emerged from the kitchen all smiles putting on a sky blue apron which had a few red stains on it..

Arya snorted, a cook indeed! she remembered how her mum loved to cook, she made tasty dishes that leaves people wanting more..

She was proud to have inherited that from their, cooking meals was life itself, unlike Charlotte who took their mum’s other hobby..

She failed to understand why Charlotte had to part ways with them..

“Snap out of it dummy! get me a neat glass!” Charlotte barked furiously at Arya, a part in her heart told her that she was the one to be held responsible for Kyle’s recent behaviors..

Last night she had to sleep in the cold guest room alone, Dennis was right! they needed to carry out the task quickly before Kyle recollects his past..

Her last attempt was ruined by this b*tch who couldn’t keep her paws off Kyle..

Arya turned on her heels with a sharp glare directed at Charlotte before leaving for the kitchen..

She’d give anything to avoid Kyle’s burning gaze on her right now..

When she got into the kitchen, she saw how the cooks roamed around cleaning the mess Charlotte made while cooking..

“Hmm just like mum” she whispered going down the memory lane..

Her mum could mess up an entirely perfect kitchen in less than a minute but nevertheless, the food always turned out perfect..

But today, ‘perfect’ wasn’t going to be spotted in this dishes she made..

“Well.. this is going to be fun!”

***

Kyle’s tummy roared as soon as the tantalizing aroma reached his nose..

Charlotte was all smiles by the soft look on Kyle’s face..

“Come on Kyle.. dig in”

Ray hesitated picking up his cutlery, he had once tasted a meal cooked by Charlotte which didn’t go well with his body system..

He took a glance towards his dad and almost pitied him..

Kyle sprang up to his feet whooshing for air, he blew air in and out of his mouth hurriedly as he struggled to reach for a glass of water..

“Daddy”

“Kyle! are you alright?” Charlotte’s worried tone came, she moved away from her seat and tried to take a step closer to him but was shunned back immediately..

“Don’t come any closer!”

Kyle’s nose turned red as he tried to survive the burning sensation on his tongue..

She watched him storm out of the dining in anger..

She settled her gaze back on her plate wondering what went wrong..

“I’ll go check on daddy” Ray murmured and dashed out almost knocking Arya down who was on her way to the the table..

Charlotte’s pupils dilated as the sensation lingered on her tongue.. she gasped for air continuously wondering why that amount of chili should be in this food..

She wasn’t the best cook in the world but at least her dishes were still edible.. which only meant someone tampered with her food..

“Well I guess breakfast didn’t go as planned” Arya’s sarcastic tone came as her eyes skimmed through the variety of dishes on the table..

She picked up a piece of steak from a plate with her finger and chewed on it slowly..

“Hmm.. not really bad, just too much spices, a bit dry and burnt.. I’ll be honest with you Charlotte! this is horrible”

Charlotte’s jaw tightened, if it were up to her she’d have torn this daring lady’s body apart..

“What do you want?!”

Arya shrugged at the question, “What can I possibly say? this is just a warning for you to stay out of Naomi Sinclair’s affairs.. I won’t be easy on you next time!”

“So it was you!…

Arya raised her hand to stop Charlotte from lashing out at her..

“Oh please be quiet! you started this first.. maybe this is karma after all.. what is not yours will never be yours.. I hope you understand where exactly I’m driving at”

***

Kyle stopped pacing around the moment a knock came on his door, he really hoped that it wasn’t Ray..

He had raised his voice at the little kid who was concerned about him a while ago..

The door opened to reveal Arya who was holding a tray on her hands..

She could feel his piercing stare on her, she bit her bottom lips trying hard not to look him in the face otherwise she’d die from redness..

“This will help”

Kyle took a seat on the edge of the king sized bed, he would do absolutely anything for the burning sensation on his tongue to stop..

Arya noticed his discomfort and walked to him with the tray which contained a slice of chocolate cake and a glass of warm milk..

“Have this”

Kyle took a glance at her outstretched hand and then back to her face, what was he? a five year old? oh jeez!

“Do I look like a kid to you?”

Arya arched a brow “don’t you want to feel your tongue anymore? I promise it will help”ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Kyle hesitated to accept it, what if this one has more chilli? who knows??

She sighed when he didn’t make any move to pick up any of the things she brought..

She placed the tray on the bed next to him and picked up the plate which contained the slice of cake..

“Have you ever heard of a cake called the happy cake?”

Kyle snorted “Well I think that is dumb!”

Arya rolled her eyes, she cut the piece into a section and picked it up with a fork after which she stretched it to Kyle’s lips..

“Open up wide”

Kyle froze, maybe it was his head messing with him but this lady’s over bubbly attitude towards him couldn’t be the one of an employee and employer..

There was more to it, more to what he knows and a whole more which everyone was hiding away from him or perhaps he wasn’t ready to believe them..

His mouth opened on their own accord, it wasn’t until the piece of cake touched his tongue that he snapped out of his daze..

“I guess you’re one of the people I’ve probably forgotten”

Arya was caught off guard by his declaration, in as much as she wanted to ask questions, the door opened to reveal Charlotte holding a glass of orange juice..

Arya snorted, orange juice, how helpful and timely!..

Taking the initiative to ignore her, she reached for the corner of Kyle’s lips and swiped out the invisible particles she didn’t see..

Obviously just to infuriate Charlotte..

“How do you feel now?”

“A bit relieved..” he replied honestly with a small smile..

Charlotte’s grip around the glass cup of orange juice tightened..

“What are you doing here Naomi?!” She seethed gnashing her in anger, her audacity has surpassed all limits! and it needs to be stopped as soon as possible!
