Betrayed

Chapter 5

These past few months have been great. My restaurant has been a total success and everyday I keep getting new customers.

As for my company , it opened two months ago with the help of Mr Jones. As promised, he is now one of my investors and invested a generous amount of thirty five million. He also spread the word about my business just like he has promised and happen to get a few clients for me.

He and his wife Mrs Anita Jones ,have been of great help to me. Anita and I have become good friends. She told all of her rich friends about my new business and my restaurant. My restaurant has been fully packed every night and business is booming. Her dearest friends has also made use of my company and they ended up telling their friends to do so as well.

Mr Jones has made use of BeauLene Events Planning & Catering Co(BLEP&CCO) services for his company's events and also managed to get a few big clients for me.

To say that I'm happy would be an understatement. Everything was going great. I am so grateful for everything that Mr & Mrs Jones have done for me. I don't know how I'll ever repay them for all that they have done. Because of them , both my businesses has been a great success.

I've been thinking about expanding my restaurant. I've noticed that ever since I've been getting new clients daily that the place is actually very small. The restaurant is packed right through the week and on weekends.

There's this place that I've been eyeing for a while now and I think it would be perfect for my restaurant. It's three times as big and has a very spacious kitchen and it's in a very classy part of town.

I've set up a meeting with a real estate agent for today at one. I spoke to him last week about the place and it seems like I'm the only one that's interested in it. He called today so we can seal the deal. Some people call it luck but I personally think that the Heavenly Father has sent me his blessings.

I went through everything in my closet to find something decent to wear to this meeting. I took out a white sleeveless dress that reaches just above my knees. It has a v line but shows just enough cleavage. I paired it with a pair of white stilettos and a pair of diamond studs earrings. I grabbed my bag and left since it was already 12:45 and I hate being late.

I reached my destination at 13:10 and was afraid that the guy has already left. I walked inside and to my relief he stood there waiting for me.

"Ah Miss Davidson, finally! I was beginning to think you've changed your mind."

" I'm sorry Mr Black . I didn't mean to keep you waiting. Shall we get down to business. "

"Certainly my dear. Here I've got the contract ready for you to sign." I took it from his hands and read it carefully. After I finished it signed since I had no objections to it.

" You seem excited about this place. "

" Oh I am sir. "

"I hope it brings you all the happiness that you deserve. " I like this guy. He seemed to make me smile and gives me hope. I like his positive energy that he brings.

"Thank you so much sir." I blushed and he smiled at me. We made small talk for a while and then he left. I called my team and notified them of the place I bought so we could start renovations as soon as possible.

There is so much to do in very little time. I want to open this place in the three months time. I looked at the place and smiled . Thank you Lord for my blessings. I pray that this would be a great success and that you lead the way.Amen

I locked up and drove straight to BeauLene's. As I walked into my restaurant in bumped into someone. I looked up to see a very familiar face. I smiled as I look up to find Josh looking back at me.

"Hi stranger" He spoke up and snapped me out of my drooling session. He really is gorgeous.

" Hi, how are you ?"

"I'm good thanks. Where have you been? I haven't seen you around? I came back for the killer sandwich and nobody here knows what I'm talking about. So I asked for you and they've said your not available. " Oh so he's been looking for me. Shut up Shaylene!

"Uhm well I've been quite busy with work and all. I'm sorry , I didn't know you would come back."

" I'm a man of my word Shaylene. " something about the way he just said my name made my stomach flutter.

" Well thanks for coming by. I appreciate it."

"It's no problem at all." I smiled until a rude guy pushed me out of the way and I've only then realised that we're still standing in the door.

I moved inside and nearly bumped into Josh again.

" Can I have you number? " He asked and I had to stop the blush that was forming on my cheeks.

"Uh sure." We exchanged numbers and looked at each other for a about a minute or so.

" Uh I have to get going. I'll see you around Lene."

" see you around. " I walked passed him and I could feel his eyes still on me. I turned around and saw that he was busy checking me out. He looked up at me after staring at my eyes and was surprised to see that he's been caught. I giggled and made my way over to the kitchen. I can't believe he just stared at my ass.

I walked into the kitchen nearly knocking Kelly over. "Oh s**t , sorry Kels . Didn't see you there."

"Mmm seems like someone mind is occupied. I wonder by whom?"

"What are you talking about? "

"Tell me does it have something to do with a certain Mr who's been asking for you for the past two months? " I blushed slightly. I can't believe he was really looking for me.

"I don't know what your...

"Drop it Shay , I know you. So , who is he? "

" Yeah Shay , who is it? "

"Oh not you too Oli? Really? It's no one okay it's just a friend." I walked passed them straight to Luis and asked him if he needed my help. He looked at me and smiled and I started helping him make brownies.

Oliver and Kelly has been pestering me the entire day to tell them about Josh and I refused. There's nothing going on between Josh and I and even if there was I wouldn't tell a soul. I prefer to keep my private life private. I've learned that the hard way.

The evening has passed and they have given up. Soon it was time to lock up and everybody has left and I'm the only one left. I didn't realise that someone walked in until he cleared his throat. I looked up and smiled.

"Seems like someone's happy to see me."

"Hey Josh, how are you?"

"Wonderful now that I've seen you. Mind if I have a quick coffee. "

" Sure, no problem."I grabbed the mug and poured him his coffee and then I grabbed another one for myself. I could feel his eyes burning holes in me.I gave him his cup and smiled. I was about to turn around when he pulled me back and kissed me.

His kiss was rough but sweet as honey and I was lost in a world of passion and lust.

" Hey Say , can you believe I forgot my bag. I'm such a ...

We broke the kiss and behind me stood Kelly with a shocked expression on her face. I bet she won't leave me alone after this.

"Uhm I'll just grab my bag and leave you too to your business. " She grabbed her bag and left.

I turned around and looked at Josh already looking at me. I blushed and looked down at my feet. He lifted my chin and planted a soft kiss on my lips.

"I want to make you mine but first I would love to take you out on a date. Join me , please? " I nodded as I didn't know what to say.

" Good, I'll text you ." He said as he gave me a quick peck on the kiss and left.

I did my happy dance until I heard someone laughing at me. I turned around and saw that he's standing by the door laughing at me. I wanted to die of embarrassment.

He walked out and I slapped myself against the head. " You stupid"

"I wouldn't say stupid. I thought you were very adorable." I turned around and he was still there.

"Omg , will you just leave!" I said and he laughed even harder. I watched him leave and I sighed with relief. I heard my phone go off and opened it to see a text message from Josh.

*I see you* I looked up to see no one. He's playing with me. *just kidding *

I texted back *whatever*

* goodnight Lene. Dream of me.*

*you wish. Goodnight *

I left and went home. When I reached home I found another text from Josh.

*You'll be mine very soon Lene. I'll make sure of it and you'll dream of me every night * I smiled as I read it.

*I look forward to it* I texted back and went to bed with a smile on my face.
