Quimi’s eyes searched my face and anxiety was written on his face when he turned to me.
“Thank you for using me. Were the words that fell from my mouth
I was supposed to be mad at him for stealing a kiss foot I was thanking him instradit
Well, he saved me, but that doesn’t justify the stalen kiss. My thenights were out dort when he replied in me

Thim back, not sure why I did.
I het my cheeks were pink from the blush his stare gave me. The thought of tendeur lips pressing against mine made my heart beat rapidly | and my tummy rumble.
Lined to brush away the thoughts of the kiss and his gentle touch, how his strong hands caught me we carefully. I moved some more things from the van and switched to supervising the caterers when moving the things didn’t help anymore.
The conference began soon enough and it was time for the refreshments.
- ir. Roberts came to meet me to ask if I and my team were ready to serve the guests and I replied to him with a smile.
I was bom ready if only he knew. I thought to myself. Despite the plan to make my food taste had. I was able to take care of it and put things in arder
We began with the appetizers and the reactions from the guests were satisfying
Before we would return to our table to arrange the next meal, they’d be done with the former, I smiled at their satisfying reaction.
My eyes travelled through the crowd and stopped on Mr. Roberts who are with some guests and laughed aloud as he spoke. I was certain that be was impressed by my flawless delivery
We continued sending out food until the guests were filled. I was called to the large stage of the big hall and introduced as the chef who made the tasty dishes they ate and the crowd applauded me.
The dishes were the talk of the hall and they couldn’t be ignored as ever in the hall talked about them and the guests demanded to see t
chef.
I smiled brightly and received their applause with polite bows.
My eyes caught Quinn staring intently at me and my heart skipped a bit. The weight of his gaze made me overly cautious,
After the conference was over, we began to clear things up and move the things back to the van. I was tired from standing all day, directing supervising and dressing the meals in fancy styles.
“You did well tonight, I’m impressed Mr. Roberts remarked happily when he walked to me
“I’m happy my service satisfied you,” I replied with a smile, trying to be polite
the
He had little doubes initially but now that I have proved him wrong, he was going to blow my whistle Lar and near, that’s how business works
“Your food is one of the best I’ve had if not the best Ms. Ana, I have no regrets. And, we’ll do this in the future. He said, and I got the hint that he meant that he was going to call me for more jobs.
“Meet my friend Ms. Ana.” He said, gesturing with his hands, a group of men walked up to me with smiles on their faces, I already knew what they wanted to say and why they wanted to see me but I initiated the conversation anyway.
“Good evening gentlemen, I hope you enjoyed yourselvest
“At this rate, enjoyment is an understatement. I’m happy that I canceled my trip to Japan to be present for this conference because I wouldn’t have had such a delicacy” He said with satisfaction and I couldn’t help but smile.
After I finished talking with the men, they collected my card and promised to call whenever they had an event
I supported my team in packing up but Quinn’s familiar voice made me pause and turn around to find him standing behind me.

“You did I good job today. Everyone seems happy with the food and one would think that you put a happy portion in the food. I guess I underrated you.”
His words brought smiles to my face.
It was nice to see him acknowledge my cooking after he looked down at me at the office.
“Hope you had a taste.” I asked and he nodded.
“Yes, I had a few spoons and I almost couldn’t stop, had to force myself to drop the plate. He replied with a serious face and I found myself laughing at his words again.
Is it just me! Quinn seems extremely funny today. I never knew this side of him existed in all my years of knowing him.
“You’re something.” I said shaking my head and his lips parted in a smile.
“Are you done here! Why don’t I take you home tonight” He asked before I could answer the first question
Seeing the way my expression changed, he chimed “Come on, I don’t bite. Besides the van cannot contain all your team members, come with me and let some of them take your car. Let this be your way of saying thank you.”
His words struck a cord, my stomach rumbled when I remembered the kiss.
“Alright then.” I said and he let out a victorious smile.
This is just because I can’t let my team members sort themselves out this late night and it’s going to put him off my back for saving me. I tried to convince myself that It wasn’t something else and I wasn’t falling for his charms
He opened his car door for me and I slipped into it. He had never let me sit beside him in the car throughout my marriage with him
He turned around entered the driver’s seat and turned on the car and looked at me suddenly
was he up to this time around! I barely finished my question when he pressed his body against mine, making my senses fill with his senses.
want to steal another kiss again! Because I wouldn’t say no
