The Demon King Forbidden Bride

Chapter 14

We had a good time at the club but it didn’t last as I had to be home and prepare for tomorrow, which was the day I would start working things in my store.

It’s been a long and hectic week and I have been busy with my store. From arranging it to adding the fabrics and materials that are needed as a beginner. It’s the weekend already and Andrew had promised to visit me as we haven’t been in touch for the whole week. “Addison, put that over there,” I said to the new secretary, pointing at the wall next to the exit door.

“Yes ma’am” she responded and carried the reception table close to the wall. I heaved a sigh of relief knowing that everything is ready and I would just have to start work by Monday. I locked up a few minutes after Addison left and went home with the Uber I ordered.

“Hey! Welcome back” Charlotte asserted and kissed my cheek, “how was your store transformation, is there any progress?” She inquired while stepping into the kitchen.

“Yes, everything is perfect. I’ll definitely start work by Monday.” I pulled off my blazers and placed them on my arms. I turned towards the stairs and headed to my room. “Freshen up and come downstairs, I'm making lunch,” she responded. I stepped into my room and strode straight to the washroom as I was feeling itchy from moving and cleaning things in my store. I never knew this was going to be hard, I thought that I could achieve my dream at the snap of my finger but the reality hit me when I spent almost all my savings and also had to assist the laborers I hired just for things to go fast. I unclad myself and stepped into the filled tub, the cold water graced my skin and calmed my nerves which caused me to breathe heavily. Shortly after, I was done with the shower I walked downstairs putting on casual wear as it was still noon.

“Yum! What are you making Charlotte, it smells nice?”

“Nothing much, just sit down and wait for your meal” I rolled my eyes, pulled out a seat, and sat down. “Make it fast, I’m starving” I laid my head on the table waiting fervently for her meal.

Moments later, Charlotte set the table and placed the food on the table. She gazed at me to find out that I had dozed off, she chuckled and strode to my side. “Hey! Lunch It’s ready! What do you think?” She tugged my arm, I groaned as I had dozed off in just a few minutes. I rubbed my eyes and yawned, “what took you so long? I nearly ate in my dream” I lamented batting my eyelids.

“What! How did you do It?” I stared at the food on the table, stunned. These were all my childhood favorites, just gazing at the food on the table brings back memories. “Tacos, steak, pasta, scrambled egg with hot sauce, fried chicken, and even my favorite strawberry smoothie. I love you b***h” I muttered, excited. She smiled and pulled out a seat next to me, “you like it? I was even thinking that this may no longer be your favorite” she bit her lip. “Come on, this is still my favorite. It brings back memories, thanks Lottie” Charlotte let out a deep sigh and gazed at me, “I’m glad you liked it, this is my treat for allowing me to stay in your apartment I’m really delighted”

“Although I love the meal you shouldn’t have done this. I’d already told you that this is your home, you don’t have to keep on thanking me, it burns my ear” I uttered in a loud voice.

“Shut it out! Eat up before the food gets cold. I worked my ass off to make these, I’ll dish it out for you” she took my plate and slowly put a handful of pasta on my plate. I felt that it was absurd as she still has to eat so I snatched the plate from her, “go on and eat, I’ll do it myself” we ate lunch while conversing about my new store and what she would like to do while staying with me. It didn’t take quite long for us to finish the meal on the table, she cleared the table and I insisted on washing the dishes, that's how it should be.

“Wanna have a good time?” I inquired with a smirk, she arched her brow wondering what I was hinting at. I notified her about the pool at the terrace, she creamed excitedly while gripping my hand. “I can’t wait to stay by the poolside, take many pictures, and post them on my i********:'' she asserted with a look of excitement.

“Hope you have your bikinis” she nodded immediately, with that we headed to our room, got down the stairs, and walked to the terrace.

“Wow! Audrey. This view is nice, you can see almost the whole city of Boston” she spun around and finally sat down on a seat by the poolside. “I’ll go get some drink” I mumbled and left the terrace to the wine cabinet. I picked up a bottle of champagne with two glasses of wine. Stepping onto the terrace, Charlotte was sitting on a sun lounger with sunglasses and a sun hat. “Hey! I can see you’re already having fun” I placed the champagne on the table. “This spot is good for tanning, the sun is hit differently” I huffed, and sat down on the sun lounger. Abruptly, I recalled something that would spice up the moment and left. I brought a speaker to the terrace and switched it on. The speaker was hitting off loudly as it played the shape of you by Ed Sheeran. We danced off rapidly, twirling our butt and screaming once we heard our favorite music. I uncorked the champagne and poured it into our various glasses. Charlotte gulped down the whole content and dived into the water, I followed her into the water while also competing for the fast swimmer. Charlotte was a fast swimmer since childhood so she won almost all the rounds.

“I’m done! Why are you so mean? You could save me some face and allow me to win a round” I lamented while stepping out of the pool, I dried my body and sat down on the sun lounger with a gloomy face.
