Daddy’s Hot Sauce

Emily was running fast so that she could be far away from Matthew. Her face was a mess as her tears kept on flowing on her cheeks and made her vision blurry.

She tried to calm herself by taking a deep breath but seemed like her eyes weren’t being cooperative now. It kept on washing away her makeup, people around her were strangely looking at her like she was a mess. She looks at the store in front of her wherein she could see her reflection on the glass window.

“Shit! I look wasted. Arggh.” She screamed and ran away once again.

She was panting and sweating from running fast and when she got tired, she stopped at the park and walked towards the sink at the other side to wash her face.

“Fuck! My hanky!” She whispered as she was groping in her bag.

Then, Emily realized that she left it in Matthew’s car. She wiped her face with her hands and as she opened her eyes she saw a handkerchief in front of her.

She was surprised because it was her pink hanky and she immediately grabbed it.

“Thanks.” She whispered and wiped off the water dripping on her face.

Confused about the person, that handed her hanky, so she turned around and saw a familiar figure.

“Mr. Winston?” she muttered and her mouth was left half-opened while staring at him.

Her eyes widened as he saw him in front of the sink. She even blinked a couple of times as if she was dreaming. She cleared her throat and walked towards him.

“What.. are you doing here?” she asked. Emily was trying to stare at Winston even though he was taller than her.

His lips formed an arc as he was staring at her blue eyes and wasn’t able to answer her question as he saw some people at the park were looking at them.

“oh my. That’s him. Look!”

“Hi, Anders.”

Most of the women in the city can easily recognize him. Anders Winston is famous for being a bachelor and heir of the biggest company in the country.

“Who was that?”

“Obviously, his new girl.”

Anders immediately put her arms on Emily’s shoulders and smiled at the people who were looking at them. Some people were taking photographs while others were video recording.

“What are you doing! Get your hands off of me.”

“Not now. Emily, just behave yourself okay.”

Emily shook her head and let him do what he wants. Then, as they walked together she didn’t realize that the crowd was all eyes on them. She bowed her head so that people won’t see her face.

“Shit! I don’t want to be in the news tomorrow.” Emily whispered.

Anders saw what she did so he used his hat and jacket to cover up Emily.

They both went to the public toilet to stay away from the crowd.

Emily went to the cubicle while Anders shut the door and locked it. Then he pulled out his phone and dialed his assistant’s number.

“Yes, we’re here. Come quick! And get rid of the crowd.” He commanded his assistant while looking at the window and saw people waiting for them.

On the other hand, Emily sat on the toilet and cried but Anders could easily hear her sobbing. He tried to open the door but it was locked so he knocked on the door twice.

“Emily! Open the door.” He said.

“Why are you here? Go home and leave me.” She said and still sobbing inside the cubicle.

“God damn it! Don’t be such a kid and open this door.”

Emily didn’t answer and just let herself cried. Her heart was in pain and couldn’t escape the reality that Matthew cheated on her.

Emily wiped her tears and opened the door. He saw Mr. Winston’s brows were furrowed and his face was serious. She stepped out of the cubicle and took a deep breath.

“My assistant will be here soon, I’m sorry for the crowd.”

“It’s fine. There weren’t after me, anyway.”

Then silence took over the place and Anders phone rang and he immediately answered it.

“Alright. We’re coming out.” Anders said. Then he looked at Emily who was washing her face with the water.

He put down his phone and stepped closer to Emily.

“Let’s go. My assistant cleared the crowd.” He said to Emily.

Emily didn’t move and felt something as Anders held his hand. She shook her head and pulled back her hand.

“I’m fine, Mr. Winston. You may go.”

Emily smiled at him.

“You’re coming with me. Understood?”

Emily felt annoyed by what he said. He looked at him and was trying to pull back her hand but his hand was like the glue that stocked on her hand.

“Let go of my hand!” she exclaimed.

Anders didn’t say anything and let go of her hand but Emily couldn’t take a chance to walk away as she lost her balance and fell on the floor.

“Ouch!” she exclaimed in pain and touched her ankle.

Anders sighed and shook his head, then without a word he carried her outside like a bride so people around were surprised about it.

Emily was surprised about what he did so when she noticed the crowd she hi herself with her palms.

Many people went to them and took photos once again. Emily was trying to hide from Anders she pushed herself more to him.

Anders didn’t mind the crowd and smiled as he felt Emily.

His assistant and other men were there to protect Anders and Emily and be safe to reach inside the car.

Anders shut the door and commanded the driver to go.

Emily felt uncomfortable being with Mr. Winston so moved closer to the window and made herself busy.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

“I won’t eat you.” He said.

“I know because you’re not a vampire. Okay?”

Anders chuckled and looked at Emily. He shook his head and didn’t say any word.

After a few minutes, they arrived at the mansion of Mr. Winston. Emily was in awe ah she looked at the grand mansion.

“Woah, this is huge!” she whispered.

Emily was about to talk to Mr. Winston but he was gone as quick as a vampire.

So she tried to get off the car by herself but someone immediately assists her.

“Are you okay?”

“Yes. I’m… fine. Thanks, David.”

“We meet again Miss Emily,” David said while helping Emily to get inside the mansion.

“Yeah, sorry to bother you. But I think I have to go.” Emily said.

David wasn’t able to answer her because Anders was already staring at them.

“Looked you’ll stay here tonight.”

“What! Do I look like a beggar? I have a house and I need to go home. My parents were..” Emily wasn’t able to continue her words as Anders interrupt her.

“You’re parents were on vacation Emily so you’ll stay here tonight, kiddo.”
