11 CHAPTER ELEVEN

Chase's POV

I woke up quite early and went for a morning run, did some workouts and had that smoothie Amy made for me.

She's been making it for me for quite sometime now and its really nice.

I walk downstairs and saw Amy arranging the table, I'm guessing she cooked again. There are some things Amy do that makes me wonder how she grew up, what her parents were like. I'm sure they must have been pretty close because whenever she's cooking, she has this happy radiation over her that makes me think maybe her parent taught her how to cook and this way she still feels close to them. That's why when I see that she wants to cook, I don't argue about it. Why will I argue about it when her food tastes better than the cooks I have? I mean, no jokes. She's a really great cook.

*******

I walk down and saw that she made dark chocolate pancakes with strawberry and honey topping. It looked so delicious, it made my stomach growled.

*Laughing*

"It seems someone is really hungry this morning" Amy said, shifting the chair in order for me to sit. I shyly smiled at her, picking the forks immediately my butt touched the chair.

"Morning amazing cook" I replied, digging my fork inside the yummy looking pancakes. I fetched some and when my mouth welcomed it, my eyes shut itself and I couldn't help but moan at the sweetness it was releasing inside my mouth, and the gulp I made once I was done chewing. It was wonderful.

Opening my eyes and ready for another bite

"Are you sure you don't wanna open a restaurant? I mean this is really amazing and I'm sure your business will boom" I ended, placing another inside my mouth. That made Jason laugh. "He really likes your cooking" Jason said in a whispering mode and that made Amy smile.

"Well I've always wanted to own a restaurant. Not too big tho, just average and making things that people will love because I love cooking" Amy finished having a bite too.

"Then why didn't you ever say anything?" Chase asked.

"Well I wanted wor-"  Amy was cut off by the call from my phone.

"Sorry" i muttered and answered the call. It was my Dad.

"Hello Dad" I said, hearing him clear his throat from the other end.

"Chase how are you? I hope everything is ready for today? I invited some business profiles from Africa to partner with us and they would love to see how well we handle our stuffs here, so it will be nice to have a good strategy show off in order to impress them. What do you think?" He finished.

"That's great Dad, I'll see to it" I replied. And we went ahead to talk about some stuffs before ending the call.

*******

"Is everything alright?" Amy asked immediately I dropped my phone.

"Everything's great. Now, about your restaurant?" I reminded.

We went ahead to discuss about it and it turned out she'd love to have one but she wanted to work as a designer too, but due to some circumstances she decided to work outside her field for the time being.

AMAYA'S POV

The event started about an hour ago, I'm here at the event with no Chase in sight. He left earlier due to the fact that he had some business to attend to before everything is set.

After hours of confused decision on what to wear, I decided to go with A golden backless gown, with a slit closure on my right leg, reaching just above my knees with a comfortable heel to go with it.

Putting my hair on a bun and applying light makeup.

I was happy I decided to wear this because seeing what the ladies are wearing here, it's as if they came for a competition or something. Seeing what rich people do in a party, I was kinda disappointed. I mean it was literary boring, just people with their glasses of wines, or champagnes. Whatever they chose.

Standing with their little purse, laughing at whatever. Light and slow music playing on the background, and now I just want to go back home and plump on my couch, watching a movie and eating.

Exhaling, I decided to call Chase because people were still arriving at the event and Chase the CEO and host of the event isn't here yet and me the PA to this person doesn't know where he is.

Just then I saw Jessica, Chase's younger sister, and we've not seen or even talked since the wedding.

I waved at her to get her attention, and just then she notices me and rushed to me smiling.

"Oh my God, its you. You're actually here" she said, hugging me tight. And I try to laugh but I had to gasp for air. Immediately she realizes she was choking me, she let go.

"Oh my God, I'm sorry. Chase will kill me if he finds out I try to kill his wife" she said wearing an apologetic smile.

I exhaled and smiled back.

"Its nice to see you again Jessy. Although I'm angry at you. You didn't call or even come check up on me, that's not fair" I said to her.

"I'm so so sorry, I intended to call but I've been too busy, but i promise I'll make it up to you okay?" She apologized. I smiled

"Its okay" I replied. And we began to talk and laugh, and it seems I'm not the only one who think party's like this are boring.

******

I was glad there was finally someone to talk to in this place, because I didn't know anybody here at all.

After some time, I saw Chase walk in, and then his father followed with this girl, she had a somewhat reddish hair, wearing a very straight gown, bringing her curves out, her skin was pale but smooth and shiny. She was so gorgeous, and it made me wonder who she was.

Smiling at Chase who hasn't even noticed me yet, because I was happy seeing him.

Then he turned his direction and immediately he saw me, he smiled at me and turned his face immediately.

That was weird

That wasn't how I expected him to notice me. Maybe he's stressed out or something. Shortly the event announcer was speaking from the loud speakers surrounding us.

I guess the event is just starting. He went ahead to introduce some business partners, and while he was at it, Chase walked to me.

"Hey" I said smiling at him, but his face wore this expression that looks like he's bothered.

"What's wrong" I quickly asked, concerned.

"It's nothing. I'm sorry I came late and haven't had your time since I came" he apologized.

"I just hope everything is okay. You look worried" I replied.

"I'll be fine"

"And by the way, you look really beautiful"

Chase whispered and that made me blush causing him to smile.

"You look handsome as well" I replied.

"Well I can't help it" he replied, winking and that made me roll my eyes and he laughed.

*************

About an hour later, Chase, Jessica and I were talking, laughing and having a good time. The foods here were very nice and the drinks were pretty nice too.

Laughing at what Jessica said, I saw Chase's Dad walking over to us. He's been out of the event so I didn't get to meet him.

He walked over to us with this red headed girl, and I don't know why I have strange feelings something's up.

"Good evening Mr Parker" I greeted and he smiled at me "How are you Amaya, you look beautiful" He said and I smiled.

"Thank you" I replied.

"Aren't you going to introduce me Chase?" The red headed lady said, smirking.

Chase's expression changed immediately.

"This is Judith my childhood friend, and this is Amaya,my lovely wife" he introduced us.

My lovely wife

Okay!

"Hi Amaya" she greeted, sending me a handshake.

I welcomed it and I smiled "Nice to meet you Judith"

••••••••••••••••

Chase's POV

We got home and I was finally happy I get to escape that place, with my Dad and Judith.

I thought Judith's return was fishy and I hate it when I'm right.

I really don't want to hurt Amaya. Even though this marriage is not real, at least she still deserve to be happy. She's the reason why I've not lose my company to Ashton and I don't want to look like the bad guy to her.

After we said our good nights, Amy got inside her room. Walked inside mine and I can't help but feel relieved. I lay my back on the bed and began to think about what happened earlier.

My Dad called me to talk about something important, only for him to ask me about Amaya's background. Saying he can't have a Nobody come into our family and stay just like that, bla bla bla. He never worried about this and I don't know why he is now. But I have a feeling someone told him about this.

And I think I know who it is.
