My Alluring Woman

Chapter One: New Life New Beggining

Five years later

I looked at my wrist watch to check the time. It is 2 o’clock in the afternoon. I’m still here in my office with my friend and business partner. La-Lyn. She’s focused playing at her phone.

“La-Lyn, can you please drop by at the market buy some food and pick Ayesha from playschool. i can’t leave early.” I said. She raise her head to look at me.

“Yeah. Sure. I know your busy today. Is there anything else?” she ask. Standing up and grab her bag.

 I just shake my head and waved at her to go. Im currently at my office in the resto doing some documents with my work and making some plan to get an investment. In five years i have achieved my goal. Owning of one popular restaurant The Resha Resto  and a coffee shop  in San Francisco. My business partner is my friend La-Lyn. I’m planning to make branches in other country. And also i have an investment in one of the hotel here. The Lambert’s Empire Hotel. My friend La-Lyn is in charged to take the profit of my shares. She’s also in-charged in meetings the other investor and the board. Because when we invest that time im so busy with my daughter and the restaurant. And need to attend at the meeting.

When i first saw her i thought she’s very kind and weak like me but im totally wrong. She lived alone and independent of her own. She’s wealthy enough to live at her own. She is a mexican half american. Her father is american while her mother is a mexican. She also like me who run away from the family but in different situation. That’s why she not double think to accept me in the first place. She’s always helping me the first day we met. She’s always there when i’ve got sick. She take care and teach me how to deal with the other people. She taught me how to be brave and to be wise every move and decision i make. We work very hard. We help each other always. That’s why we decided to open our own restaurant and coffee shop. The restaurant under my name and the coffee shop is under her name. La-Ly Coffee. We moved in at the nearest apartment building because our home is very far from the city.

La-Lyn is a godmother of my daughter also a very good friend of mine. We always hang out when we have a vacant time. Recently my daughter always nagging at me to make time with her. I looked her in the picture at my desk. She is  adorable and cute little girl. She’s’ also a talkative and active kid at the age of four. That’s why La-Lyn is very attached to her. Sometimes they’re look like a mother and daughter figure and i’m an outcast. Well i don’t blame them because they have a lot of  time with each other.

I snap when i hear someone knocking at the door of my office. “ Come in.” I said.

“Ms. Resha, we have a problem. One of our staff got a stomach ache. She can’t work today. And the dine is full with customers. The cust-..”

I cut her and imagine the dine area. “I’ll go outside. Beth” and she nodded. I followed my staff out of my office. And i’m right so many customers complain the lack of my employees. We rush to the customers to get their orders. And apologize to keep them waiting. I’ll help my staff and serve some customers. This is the first  time had happen to the restaurant. I didn’t expect a lot of customer in weekdays.

“Why is so many customers today?” I ask to myself. I’m in the counter to settle some payments of the customer when my staff called me.

“Ms. Resha, there’s a guy wanted to meet you. Table 7.” Beth said. “Why? What happen back there?” I ask coldly.

“He’s very arrogant man. I’m just explaining to him that the wine he ordered is the last one we have and he tell me to call you. The other customers looked at him with scared eyes. I think he’s totally drunk.” she explain.

“Okay. Can you get some ice cold water from the kitchen because we’re going to need it.” I ordered her.

She headed to the kitchen while me is going to the table. When I got there, the man is totally asleep at the table. He keep murmuring but i can’t figure out what he is saying. I just shake my head and turned to look around at the other customers.

“Here is the cold water.” Beth said when she arrived. “No need of that. I think he collapsed already the moment you left him.”

“What we gonna do to him? He can’t stay here like that.” I think for a while what we’re going to do. But my head is starting to ache also. Arrgh. “Just bring him in my office. Come. Help me to get him up.” I said and move to grab the man shoulders.

“Ms. Resha i thought your a decent woman.” she said and help me to get this man up. I’ll stop fo a while and said to her with threatening eyes “Arrgh. Now, now, Are you accusing me a slut? Are you? Do you loved your job?”

“Haha. I’m just kidding. You looked tense.” she declare. “Really? Am I?” I ask. And thought also to myself. Am i really looked tense. I’ll hope i’m not.

We throw him at my couch in my office. I breathe in and out to relax and calm myself. This is my first time that i allowed a man near me again. And to think that i’m alone with him at my office. “Is he going to wake up soon?” I ask in myself. Arrgh. My headache is really bad and worsen. Why is this happening to me. If this man taking  an advantage to me. I swear i kick his balls and cut his throat. There’s a lot running through my head and i can’t think wisely because of my headache.
