2024-10-19 18:55:16Not long after Miranda got to her diner, Hailey walked into the place and helped herself to a seat while waiting for her friend. It was still the morning rush hour so Miranda and her girls had to attend to customers first.
Miranda was going to have time for her friend when the rush hour was over.
The next one hour, the rush was finally over and she was able to walk up to her friend.
“Hi Hailey, I'm sorry for leaving you all by yourself. So tell me, what's going on?" Miranda said with a broad smile on her face. She was very happy and her friend could see it on her face.
“Wow! Someone seems to be in a very high spirit this morning. Tell me what happened. Come on, spill the beans."
“Did Tyler get you a contract for this diner?"
Miranda's smile suddenly disappeared from her face at Hailey's question. All she always talked about was Tyler.
With furrowed brows, she replied to Hailey.
“No. I haven't seen him since after he left this place the previous day. I'm just happy about something else."
She let out a deep sigh and continued. “And you, why do you have to always bring up Tyler at every one of our conversations? Does the world revolve around him?"
“Seriously, I think you're in love with him and I'd advise that you go for him if that's the case." Miranda suggested and winked at her friend who was gaping at her.
“Really? Is that what you have to say?”
"Yeah. With the way you talk about him all the time, it's obvious that you like him.” Miranda continued, a broad smile plastered on her face.
“Well, I wish he could look my way.” Hailey shook her head several times.
"Obviously, he's obsessed with you and would not even notice me. It's so ironic that he is obsessed with someone who's not ready to give him a chance because of a good-for-nothing husband.”
“That's enough, Hailey. Enough with the name calling, Liam is still my husband and it's unfortunate that my friends don't like him."
“Please, will you not call him names anymore." Miranda demanded and her friend rolled her eyes.
“Whatever. But all I know is that I won't stop preaching about Tyler. I hope it won't be too late when you realize how much he truly loved you."
Miranda didn't reply to her friend's last words.
"Have you had breakfast?” She suddenly asked and Hailey gave her questioning look.
"Really? What's the time on your phone? Do you think I'd not have had breakfast when it's already past 11am?”
Miranda smiled at her and nodded. She remembered that her friend loved to make her own breakfast. As a model, she was careful with what she puts into her body so as not to gain a lot of weight.
Among the friends, Hailey was the most pretty one. Her fine face compliments her slim curvy figure. She was a perfect model and had worked with Allison a few times.
Allison was Miranda's cousin and also a model.
Hailey and Allison never got along and were often in a competition on who was the best model.
“Oh. I totally forgot that you're Hailey, our super model who always watches what she eats just to stay in shape." Miranda teased her and she raised her shoulder in pride.
“You can say that again, Mira. So tell me why you were so happy. Don't even try to lie to me because I know that something brought about that smile and glint in your eyes.”
Miranda chuckled and spoke in a whisper. “I'm so happy because I've just gotten a big deal for my family company, Top notch interiors. I'll be signing the contract tomorrow and will be in charge of the project."
“Wow! That's great news." Hailey was genuinely happy for her friend and stood up to hug her.
“I'm so happy for you.”
"Thank you.” Miranda replied cheerfully and suddenly stopped laughing as she stared into space with her mouth open. She remembered something and turned to ask Hailey.
“I haven't heard from Jane for days now. The last time I saw her was at my grandpa's remembrance.”
"Likewise, I've been calling her but she hasn't been picking any of my calls or replying to my texts.” Hailey replied, concern evident on her face.
"Maybe I'll go and check up on her after my appointment today.” Hailey said.
“It's great that you got the contract. At least, your cousins would stop looking down on you.” She continued.
"Yeah, that's right. I'm so excited right now.” Miranda replied.
“So tell me, how were you able to pull that off? Did you get any help? And, how come they let you represent the company when Piper was there.”
Miranda rolled her eyes at the mention of Piper's name. " Well, she didn't get it so Liam asked me to go for it. He even helped me work on the designs which were accepted by LR.”
"What does Liam possibly know about interior designs?” Hailey scoffed, a mocking sneer on her face. When she turned her face around, her gaze met with a handsome young man who walked into the diner. It was Tyler.
With a glint in her eyes and a bright smile on her face, Hailey greeted Tyler as soon as he walked up to them.
“Hey, Tyler. You're here. We were just talking about you."
“Hi Hailey." Tyler greeted back and quickly directed his gaze on Miranda. She was the main reason he came to the place.
“Hi, Mira. How are you doing?”
Miranda pursed her lips and nodded at him. "I'm doing great, thank you for your concern.”
"So tell me, what brings you to my diner?”
"I came to have lunch.”
It was not yet lunch break but he just wanted to see Miranda.
Although Tyler was the CEO of Graham five star hotels, he preferred to eat at Miranda's restaurant just to spend time with her. He could choose to eat from the dishes at their hotel, but he wouldn't do that because of Miranda.
He believed that her food tasted better, even though they were simple dishes. Well, Miranda was great at cooking and had won the hearts of many of her customers. Her girls had also learned the secret of her delicious meals and one could not tell the difference in their meals.
“I want you to prepare your best dish for me. Anything is fine.” Tyler said as he went and sat down on a seat. He knew all the dishes prepared at the diner and was not allergic to any. It was the reason he confidently asked Miranda for any dish.
Miranda turned to her friend who suddenly received an important call that got her racing outside.

I just saw your text message now. I don't quite understand what it means.”From the other end of the line, Mr. Landon let out a deep sigh before replying. "I'm sorry Miss Hailey, the new boss doesn't want you as the face of any of our products so the deal has been canceled. Sorry for the inconveniences.”"What? This is unacceptable.” Hailey barked. She was visibly furious at the news that had just been broken to her.“How can you just wake up and cancel my deal with Aura cosmetics?”"Well, it's not in my place to make the final decision.

Miranda remained silent for a while. She lifted the jewelry with her hands and admired it before turning to face Tyler.“Are you sure it came from you?"Taken aback by the question, Tyler felt embarrassed. He lifted his left hand and scratched the back of his head before saying to the lady."Uh, are you doubting me? Of course they came from me and I can see that they look beautiful on you."Tyler pushed his plate aside and reached for Miranda's hands which were resting on the table. He stared deeply at her and said.“If you don't like the gifts, please let me know. I can always get something better for you because you're precious to me.” Tyler replied while smiling sheepishly.His thoughts drifted back to the time when Patricia, Miranda's mother told him something about her.

More than anything, Tyler wanted to be the first perso

He came here to eat." Miranda explained to her husband, trying to calm his nerves but she was not completely successful.“I've warned you to stay away from my wife."

Swiftly, the cab driver drove off but Miranda asked him to drive to the nearest police station.“Please, that's my husband and I need to make a report for kidnapping. Drive to the nearest police station." "Ma'am, please I need to go home to my family. I can't drive to any police station right now. What if the kidnappers are waiting on the way for us?” The cab driver was too terrified to go to the police."What if they kill your husband if we go to the police?” The man asked, causing Miranda's heart to start pounding. “But who would want to kidnap him, he's not a rich person that can pay them some ransom." Miranda thought about her family and their opposition towards her marriage with Liam. They'd never bring out a dime for any ransom.Unfortunately, her restaurant was just a small one which only earned her a few thousand dollars. Where would she get the money to pay for her husband's release if asked for a ransom? After thinking about it carefully, Miranda said to the cab driver. “

Turning to her father who was wearing an indifferent look, Miranda glared at him and shook her head.“Even you Dad. Are you also supporting your wife by disregarding that my husband's life is in danger?"Eric said nothing. After a moment of silence, he let out a sigh and said to Miranda. “Well, there's nothing we can actually do if we want to do something."“Why don't you go and report the incident at the police station.”"You didn't think that I'd already thought about that." Miranda snapped at her parents. She was visibly angry and could not believe how heartless her parents had become.“Don't you think that his life would be in more danger if I went to the police? I believe that they'd call and ask for ransom."“And who's going to pay the ransom?" Patricia asked, her voice devoid of any emotions. She just didn't care about Liam and anything that concerned him.“We're not ready to pay, even if we have the money." She added coldly. “And it will be hopeless to ask lady Mary or your un

The couple's moment lasted for over a minute before Miranda pulled out. She was so emotional and indeed happy that her husband was safe.“Tell me what happened? Who are those people that kidnapped you and how did you escape them?" Miranda was asking many questions at the same time and Liam had to hush her.“It's ok, I'm fine now. Let's just go inside the house and I'll tell you everything.”Without another word, Miranda nodded her head and led the way. They got into the apartment and found her parents engrossed in watching TV. They both acted like nobody entered the house when they heard Liam's voice.“Mom, Dad, Liam is back. Won't you even ask what happened to him and how he was able to escape the place."Patricia let out a dry chuckle and turned to face the couple. “What did I tell you earlier? I don't care if he was even dead. All I care about is that he divorces you and lets you be with Tyler."Liam was pained by the harsh words his mother in-law just spoke.Did she really hate hi

The husband and wife exchanged glances and continued to walk into the house. They got to where Patricia was seated and greeted her alone.They didn't even acknowledge the presence of Kimberly and it got her angry. However, she didn't react.She was not in the mood to have any exchange of words with her sister and the husband.Miranda, on the other hand, ignored her sister because Kimberly told her to mind her business.

“Hmph. You've got to be kidding me." Miranda let out a dry chuckle.She gave Piper a thorough scrutiny before commenting.“So you know now that I'm your sister. You want to be close to me now, huh?."

I want you to come over and kick her out immediately.”"And who even asked you to let her in here in the first place? Well, it seems like you guys don't love your Jobs anymore" As soon as Miranda ended the call, she turned to Liam and said to him,"Don't worry about her, honey. I told you that I can take care of her.”Without a word, Liam gave her a quick nod. Miranda just called him, honey.

The gossipers quickly stopped their gossip and all stood up. They made their way back to their various desks to continue work. Moreover, lunch break was almost over.When the couple got to Miranda's office, she excitedly broke the news to her husband.“I wanted to tell you that I sealed a deal with your friend when you were not around. Your friend, Kent, came with someone and we discussed business and quickly sealed the deal.”"Everything happened so fast and I could not even believe it. Look Liam, you should call your friend and thank him. He's been most helpful to our business.”"And to think that he doesn't ask for anything in return, not even a cut for the deals he's brought for us.”"Well, Kent has always been like that.” Liam smiled and nodded at his wife."I'll call him and treat him to a meal.”"Yeah, you should.”Liam suddenly thought of the earlier incident at the cafeteria.
