Celine eyes moved to the black shoe obstructing the door. Her visage moved up, her blood ran cold when she sighted the tip of a black suit.
She gasps trying to catch her breath.
“Hello?” The voice uttered. He finally showed his face.
“Henry, you startled me” Celine gasps placing her hand on her chest.
“Why would you reject a free breakfast from a billionaire?” Henry questions, barging in.
Celine gave a preventative stare
“Pervert! Get out” She grunts, she ran into the bathroom to change into a simple dress and walked out with a frown.
“You look so much like her,” Henry whispered.
Celine glared at him, she finds it unnecessary to reply.
“Alright, let's get going,” Henry ordered. Celine refused to come after him, she stayed at a spot with wrinkles on her forehead. “What do you want with me?”
“Come on.” Henry chuckles, he clung his arm in hers pulling her out.
“Why? What… are you trying to do with me? Aren't you ashamed?”
“Of what? Why should I be ashamed for offering a poor lady free food?”
“After this breakfast, I don't want to talk to you anymore,” Celine warned.
“Alright. I cross my heart.” Henry promised. His smile looked creepy to her. She hopped in his car and he drove to a restaurant.
“You would love the food here and my biological son works here”
“Ugh…do you mean the arrogant Don?”
“No, he's the opposite of Don.”
“Really? I would love to meet him.”
“Yeah. I can't wait for us to discuss Bianca's daughter more. You once said she died now you are saying she's Emily.” Henry said, ruining Celine's mood.
“Really? That's it? He only wanted to lure the truth out of me and I will make it a living nightmare.” Celine pursed her lips. They alight from the vehicle and went into the restaurant. The restaurant isn't as big as Celine thought, just a small cabin with many customers in the queue just to have white rice.
“Wow. This is absurd. I can't wait to have a taste of the food these people are dying for.”
Celine said. They went for a table and sat down.
“Give me a second,” Henry asked. He phoned his son
“Hello, come serve me breakfast. I'm at table 18” Henry commanded but there was a yell at the other end. Henry giggles, massaging his temples, he instantly ended the call.
“What was that?”
“Nothing.”
“Oh, here they come.” Henry chimed, staring at an incoming waiter.
He appeared to be a strange person “Sir, Erickson refused to come over. He said he is so busy and he has no time to discuss shit over and over.”
“Erickson?” That name sounded so familiar to her but she refused to think deeper, her rumbling stomach couldn't make her think.
“That bastard! Why is he always bent on embarrassing me.” Henry mumbled.
“Hmmm…. I would love to have shrimp and a bowl of rice.” Celine ordered.
“I want the same and all bills are on me,” Henry commanded. The waiter smiled and it took him some minutes to serve their ordered food.
Celine dug in the rice, she kept on filling her mouth. She didn't chew the rice properly, she swallowed it up as if she was racing with someone. “Oh my gosh! This is so good. I never expected this.” Celine yelled with rice in her mouth.
Henry was avoiding her because all eyes were on her and he became embarrassed “Why is that lady eating like a gorilla.” Some distance murmuring cautioned Celine. She feigned a smile slowly munching the shrimps that remained.
“Can I have another bowl of rice and fruit juice?” Celine ordered. Henry's wide eyes were staring at Celine, he couldn't take a spoon from his meal.
“Will you stop embarrassing me?” Henry's mouth.
“How am I embarrassing you?” Celine let shrimp spill out of her mouth. Her spit fell on his arm, “Gross!” he crinkled his nose. Celine stretched her hand, helping him to wipe it off which only spread the spit. The camera clicks capturing Celine touching Henry's arm. Henry ran to the bathroom.
“Hello, madam Helen. I found the lady that kept your husband late at night. Come over to your son's restaurant.” Emily said with a camera in her hand as she uploaded the picture on the internet. Helen sent her to keep an eye on Henry and she finally got a piece of information to increase her paycheck or rather destroy Celine from within, she ran out of the restaurant chuckling.
“I know nothing hurts you more than getting your reputation in the mud. I would destroy you bit by bit.” Emily laughed, and she ran out of the restaurant before the main drama began.
Celine laughed as she watched Henry run to the bathroom with her hands covering his mouth like he wants to throw up.
“That serves you right. Next time you would never call me a poor church rat.” Celine yelled, eating normally. She noticed all eyes were Carter at her “Will you look elsewhere? The show is over.”
Celine grumbled looking around. She noticed a man walking towards her table, she looked down shyly blushing. “Is he coming towards me? I hope he's cute and rich.” Celine prayed. He banged his hand on the table “Hello, lady.” Celine raised her head with a pleasant smile. Her smile transformed into a grown one when her eyes met the guy that she was crushing on from afar.
“You, runaway debtor. ” Erickson gasps.
“Why do you keep stalking me? You can just propose if you love me.” Celine shyly responds.
“Me…love you? Why would I love a poor hag like you.”
“Im not poor. I'm the heir of Robert's hospital, Roberto and Co company which is situated all over the world.” Celine replied.
Erickson claps. Celine felt honored by the thought that he gave up not knowing he just started.
“You, bloody liar. Isn't there any honesty in you? You run around spying on me so you can indirectly steal from me because you think I like you. Ugh…ladies like you disgust me.”
“Oh, my fucking gosh, who would want to spy on a guy that doesn't use mouthwash.”
“You must be insane. Will you be able to stand close to me if my mouth stinks? You can't dodge the truth, your nose stinks.”
“Oh yeah. I saw something on the internet. So you are that harlot that keeps breaking my home.”
