The Demon King Forbidden Bride

Chapter 13

City Dolphins is popular for its seafood, many people from different cities visit the restaurant at intervals to have a taste of their seafood. “Wow, the high-class folks sure know how to enjoy themselves” Charlotte uttered as she kept on taking in the view of the restaurant. I chuckled and turned to find a seat for us, luckily there was an empty table close to the one next to the window, I called Charlotte's attention and headed to the seat. A waiter walked to our table and gave us a menu for today. If you’re wondering about the new menu, yes the City Dolphins changes menus every day this is one of the things that made people troop in and out of the restaurant.

“Uhm, give me the full Lobster set sauce” I asserted after going through the menu, Charlotte ordered the same thing as this was the first time she’s having seafood. Our order arrived shortly, “this looks good Audrey” she mumbled and started eating up the lobsters.

“Beep!” My cell phone vibrated as I was about to start eating my lobsters, I groaned but abruptly the gloominess on my face vanished the moment I glanced at the caller ID. It was Andrew, he was video calling me. I smiled and connected the call.

“Hey babe, have you got off work?” I asked, “yes, I just got back a while ago. Where are you? This doesn’t seem to be your apartment”

“Oh, I took Charlotte to dinner at the City Dolphins” he made an “o” and ran his hand on his hair. “I’m having lobsters, wanna try some?”

“Hey! Is that your boyfriend?” Charlotte cut me off. “Yes” she beamed and made a gesture that meant that I should introduce her to me. I nodded and returned my gaze to the cell phone but it was quite unfortunate that the call had been disconnected. “Sorry, the FaceTime has ended” she shrugged and focused on her sauce, I quickly ate up the lobster, made p*****t for the two meals and left the restaurant with Charlotte. It was really a hectic day, I went to bed immediately after we reached my apartment.

The next morning I got a call from agent Gomez that there was a store at a good site that is up for rent. I was super excited that I had to schedule our meeting in the afternoon. I yawned while stretching myself, I moved down the stairs to the kitchen where I was perceiving a great aroma.

“Hey, how was your night?” I inquired as I strode to the fridge to get a bottle of water.

“Perfect, the beds are quite comfy”

“I’m glad you had a great time.” I nodded casually while gulping down the water. I assisted her to serve the table, and we ate breakfast silently. Abruptly, I recalled that Charlotte would be all alone if I left to check the store, so I notified her of my plans at noon. “Would you like to go with me or do you wanna stay back in the house?”

“Hey! Of course, I would go with you. You can also show me around Boston, you know this is my first time here” she was right! We scheduled the plans and decided to roam around the streets of Boston.

“Ding!” It was noon, I switched off the Netflix and dragged Charlotte upstairs. We got changed and left the house. We met agent Gomez at the same coffee shop in front of Harvard University.

“Hello, Mr. Gomez. My apologies for arriving late, there was traffic on our way” he nodded, seeming not to have a problem with my arriving late. We left immediately and headed to the spot he had found. The area was nice and I could get a lot of customers. Although there would be competitors, I know that my brand is not a regular one so I won’t be in much competition with the rest of the people who have a clothing store across the street. “I’ll take it! The problem is this place is quite far from my apartment.” I asserted with a blank expression. I had no idea if I should just stick to a store In my area.

“This store merits it because it’s in a popular area. Your clothing brand will hit the marketplace at a good pace. You can still choose another store if you’re having doubts” I bit my lips and decided to take a chance. “I’ll go for it. What do you think of Charlotte?”

“It’s perfect! The area is nice” I smiled and turned back to the agent. “Fine! Then let’s seal the deal.” He mumbled as we exchanged handshakes. Soon the formalities for the store and the transfer of ownership were completed quickly. He handed me the key and the paper to the store. “Congratulations Miss Wellington. I’d hope we have another nice cooperation” I nodded in agreement and bid him goodbye. I shoved the papers into my handbag and sighed deeply. “Come on Charlotte, let me show you around,” I said as I walked up to Charlotte who was standing at the exit door. I waved down a cab and got in, “where do you wanna go?” I inquired, even though I have not known my way around here but I guess it’s time to find out what the city holds for me. “Bikini club, I want to have fun” I smirked, “you’re still dirty-minded Charlotte, well let’s tell the driver” the driver opt-in and informed us that it was a private club that we can only get in with a strong connection. Charlotte and I gawk at each wondering what to do, I can’t get my parents to assist us with that, it would be absurd. “Take it first” I insisted, thinking that we might as well give it a try. Besides I’d have the money to spend.
