Snippets

Actress and The C.E.O (Part 1)

"Thank you so much," Ekaashi thanked him.

"No problema, Señorita," Roman said and hung up.

The order was ready by the time Roman reached the restaurant. The Head Chef, his best friend, Conan, his aunt Esme and Uncle Theo's son, smirked at him while handing him the tray control.

"What are you up to?" He asked him.

"Fulfilling my guest's demands," Roman grinned. It was amusing really.

"I hope the reward is worth it," Conan wriggled his eyebrows.

"I am not doing this with ulterior motives, idiot. The paparazzi basically gave her a panic attack. She asked me for the person who saved her, which is me," Roman told his best friend.

Reyanna, Rylen, Roman, and Conan were in the same school before Roman was sent to special business school for 2 years in the USA. When he came back, Roman was again to return to the USA to study at Harvard. This time Conan went with him too. He studied culinary arts. Although they weren't together, Conan had to study in New York, France, Italy, and London to complete his course, Roman and he still remained best friends.

"So Ekaashi Chatterjee wants to meet her knight in shining armor?" Conan raised a brow.

"There is nothing such as a knight in shining armor. I was there, and I helped her because it was my duty. Now she wants her dinner and the person who shielded her," Roman rolled his eyes.

"Whatever. I won't stand in between you, and your damsel. I'll see you after my shift," Conan told him as more orders arrived. Roman mock saluted him and walked towards the actress's room.

Her room was on the 3rd floor, just a floor below his.

He rang the bell and waited for her to open the door.

"Yes?" She asked.

"Your dinner is here, Señorita," He replied from behind the door.

The door opened immediately. The tray he was controlling took its place near the kitchen as Roman entered the room.

"Close the door behind you, please," Ekaashi told him, it was just her voice, she was nowhere to be seen. The door was automatic, but Roman didn't say anything.

"You wanted to see me, Señorita?" Roman asked. He waited eagerly to see the owner of the sweet voice.

It was the voice that attracted his attention for the first time anyways.

"Yes, I did. I wanted to thank you personally," Ekaashi's voice came from the closet.

"You don't have to, Señora. It's my duty," Roman told her, getting impatient to see her face.

"I understand, but I do want to thank you," Ekaashi said, and finally the woman stepped out of the closet.

Roman had to recollect that he had to breathe, she was that beautiful. He knew she was a raven head with waist-length hair. Roman didn't regret he didn't see her heart-shaped face, and dusky complementing dusky complexion. He would have lost all senses if he saw her, maybe forget his work. The plump lips with a beauty spot just above them drew him in, almost inviting. Her innocent looking doe eyes looked at him taking in his appearance, hopefully finding him attractive.

She was wearing loose pants and a tied up top, Roman didn't pay attention to her clothing before because he was busy kicking the paparazzi away. But, Dios, the top showed off her stomach, and that deep belly button was distracting him from his purpose.

He had no ulterior motives, he reminded himself.

"I...um...got your dinner," He said looking away from her to the tray of food.
