In the spirt of the celebration because of the new height the company achieved, Ethan and Jacob as agreed were going to a restaurant in the evening to celebrate, not just any restaurant Milano’s, the spot popularly known for the best dishes on their menu.The both men walked gallantly to the car park, Ethan threw the key of the Bentley to Jacob who caught it. The engine of Ethan’s automobile roared as Jacob drove out of the car park with Ethan on his side in the passenger seat.Ethan got his phone from his pocket to make a call across to Nadia “Heyy” she picked on the second ring “Good Evening uncle Ethan”“How is my girl doing?” Ethan asked as he looked at Jacob whose eyes was fixed on the road“I have a little migraine, are you coming to pick me up or I should go home myself”That was the reason he had called in the first place, he wouldn’t be able to pick her up from school and he didn’t want her going back home alone either.“Take a painkiller drugs Nadia, you would be fine. Mea
Bella looked at Marco side face with a look of hatred and resentment. “What is he even thinking about right now? His son? Does he thinks he can eat his cake and still have it?” Bella thought to herself bitting down her bottom glossed lipsWhen Marco noticed she was staring at him, he turned to look at his wife who was all smiling at him “Why is she this happy today?” Marco thought to himself as he smiled back at her and turned back to face the road.With a long silence during the drive, Bella staring at him and thinking deeply, he knew she had something on her mind, Marco felt uncomfortable so he decided to put on the music, but before he did, he asked “Is everything okay, babe? What are you thinking about?”“You tell me” Bella sounded defensive without even smiling “This isn’t the right time” she thought to herself as she composed her self and continued her fake smile “Tell you about?” Marco asked with a confused face as he tried to concentrate on the road more than ever, as he thou
The food they ordered for looked very savory that Bella couldn’t wait to finally taste it, her mouth watered seeing the food on the tray, the aroma alone made her swallow in satisfaction.Being a good cook and a food lover herself, she knew Milano’s chef out did theirselves adding bean seeds to the salads, she absolutely loved bean seeds that she couldn’t wait to eat the salad, meshed potatoes, crispy chicken wings with the very spicy oily buffalo sauce.Marco on the other hand was also satisfied with his order, Bella balanced the tray in her hands in front of her, turning around so they could get to their table, as she took her first step with a smile looking down at her food, she collides with a male figure who clearly wasn’t looking at where he was going to.Bumping into her, making the tray of food spill on him, the oil sauce staining his white shirt leaving a very visible hue on the shirt before the plate falls to the ground to stain the well cleaned marble title, the loud noise o
“Nine hundred dollars for a tray of food?!” Marco was the one standing and shouting at the waiter now, he couldn’t believe that only what Bella ordered could cost that much, if that was the case then how much would his own tray even cost?Marco had a lot on his neck to settle, it wasn’t as if he couldn’t afford to pay for the food but he would have to pull a lot of strings to pay, like taking money from his business.His budget for the dinner night at Miliano’s restaurant wasn’t anything more than four hundred dollars, Juniour medical bills was still outstanding and he needed money more than ever.If only Bella’s food could cost that much then how much would his own tray cost? How could he just spend so much on one food? In one day? Is it the last food before death? Bella turned to look at Marco dreadfully it only reminded him that he was supposed to stay out of their conversation, so he turned around and ran his hands through his hair a little frustrated that he would end up being t
Jacob was still signaling to Ethan to get over with the situation at hand by apologizing to Bella but Ethan didn’t give him any attention.“Is that your last choice?” Bella scoffed again, she was still on the matter of Ethan paying for the damage, she was convinced he couldn’t pay, so what she was actually expecting next was Ethan begging her, which she would at first not accept but later on she would accept after making a fool of Ethan of cause.Ethan didn’t respond or say a word as she kept speaking and shouting at him, their marriage had failed because of her, she went to his back and signed a divorce paper without informing him before hand, but somehow Ethan blames himself for not being able to give Bella the life she wanted.“You should rethink your choice, pay the damage or beg me” Bella said in threatening way as she gritted her teeth looking at Ethan.Ethan did not feel threatened at all by her words, instead he put his hands into his pocket to take his phone out.Marco at thi
The waiter was confused on what to do with the card encrypted with the bank details that he was holding, he didn’t know exactly who to give it to, since the couple ran down the man who was ready to pay for the food on the floor. The couple were still constantly insulting the man that his cloth was stained, the man who wanted to pay for the damage.“Unless you want a fake alert then give him the card” Marco told the waiter trying to convince him not to give Ethan the card.“He has nothing to offer” Bella scoffed “Not even the money for the damage he cost”The waiter gave Ethan the card nevertheless since he asked for it, Ethan took it and mouthed “Thank you” in a low tone to him.Ethan looked down to type the details in his phone, so he could send it as a text message to his secretary.In the text message he detailed that she should send a sum of four thousand dollars to the account instead of two thousand five hundred which was the total cost of the damage.Jacob seeing him texting on
Jacob expression was nothing less than amusement and a little pride while he looked at Bella and Marco who were now cold like ice water had been poured on them. Ethan on the other hand put his phone back inside his pocket after the waiter confirmed the credit alert.Jacob pinched Ethan as he signaled to him, he needed to know if he knew what he was really doing. “Isn’t that investment money from his company? I hope it doesn’t go bankrupt soon” Jacob thought to himself, Ethan looked calm and unbothered“Since we done here, I guess we can finally leave?” Jacob asked authoritatively looking at Bella“Yes please, get your bag let’s go” Ethan said to Jacob and it made him to turn to his heels to fetch the bag from their reserved seat. Jacob was still stunned that with just a phone call, Ethan was able to clear a bill with such amount.Marco was on his phone trying to make a transfer to prove that he in fact had more than the money the restaurant was requesting for but to no avail, he only
Jacob was very stunned at what just played out in front of him, his boss bowing down to him, opening the car for him and acting like his chauffeur?Ethan refused to say any more word as he speed the car heading for Nadia school to pick her up.The plan was to allow Nadia stay overnight at her school but the plans changed after the incident at the restaurant, now they were going to fetch her from school instead.“What happened back there?” Jacob asked in a very surprised tone since Ethan refused to say a word to him since they left the restaurant. Jacob needed an explanation at least.Why would Ethan do such a thing, pay for damage that clearly he had apologized for, even if he payed for the damage why not pay the exact amount, why leave a tip?“That was Bella being herself” Ethan replied a bit angry, although he couldn’t even hide it no matter how hard he tried, he was smoking angry. Bella had succeeded in making him angry at that moment she called him a failure despite he sacrificed e
