Chapter 3 Fibre Way Restaurant

  • Kimberly walked down the streets fuming in anger. She knew she messed up again, but this time she wasn't at fault. Her stomach grumbled, and she grabbed her stomach in frustration. She looked at her brown leather wristwatch and saw it was time for lunch already.
  • She remembered she still had USD 35 with her, so she decided to stop by a restaurant to take a break and have lunch. She wasn't in a good mood because she was still actually hurt. Her ankles were still hurting badly, and she had to keep leaping.
  • She cursed under her breath as she noticed the way she attracted people's attention to herself because of the way she was walking. Finally, she saw a restaurant, and she leaped Into the restaurant quickly. She sat on the nearest chair next to her and breathed out loud.
  • She dropped her bag on the table and lifted her legs rubbing her ankle. She gave it a slight massage. She groaned in pain for some seconds, but after the constant massage, it felt better.
  • "Hi Ma'am, Can I have your orders?" A female attendant asked her. and she nodded. “Can I have the menu?" She asked, and the attendant nodded with a bright smile. ‘Why can’t everyone be like her?’
  • She passed the Menu to her, and Kimberly began to go through it."I will have this." She said pointing to the Caesar Salad on the menu which cost USD 10. "Okay." The attendant replied and turned to walk away. Kimberly couldn’t stop fuming in anger because of what happened at the company some minutes ago.
  • "I mean, who the f**k does he think he is? Since he is the CEO of a worldwide company, he should be on the net. How come I haven't seen him before?" She thought, grabbing her phone. She went straight to her Google, and typed 'The CEO of Fiber way Worldwide'.
  • Then the results came, and it happened to be the mean guy, Landon Hernandez. The results had caught her attention, so she decided to read more about Landon. His achievement, his relationship status, his flaws if possible. She got to realize that he wasn't just the CEO of Fiber way, but also the CEO of many other companies, small businesses like Restaurants, and Schools. She also read that he is a single man, not ready to mingle.
  • She scoffed as she saw this. “ Who would want to mingle with an a*s like him?" "Ma'am, here Is your lunch. Enjoy your meal." The attendant said, placing the food on the table, and Kimberly put her phone aside hungrily. She picked up the fork and then something drew her attention. It was the name of the Restaurant, which she didn't notice before walking In. It happened to be on the plate of Salad, and when she saw what the name was, she was shocked.
  • 'Fiber way Foods’ was printed on the plate, and she called back the attendant. "Sorry, Ma'am, who knows this restaurant?" Kimberly asked, looking at her, and she smiled. "Oh, are you new here?" She asked, looking surprised.
  • "Yes, it's my first time," Kim replied, and her mouth curved in the form of a circle. “No wonder. It's Landon Hernandez, he owns almost everything in Mystic Falls." She replied, and Kim nodded slowly. She looked for the name of the attendant on her uniform, and she got it.
  • "Thank you, Diana," Kim said, and Diana looked at her name printed on her shirt. "You are welcome, Ma'am." She said and turned to walk away. Kim sighed, picking up her fork to dig into her Salad.
  • She opened the plate hungrily and dipped the fork inside it, packing some of the Salad. She put it in her mouth and began to munch. She heaved as she derived satisfaction from the taste. She kept digging in, and then she noticed the workers in the restaurant rushing out of their working positions.
  • She was forced to look up and then saw Landon Hernandez walking into the restaurant. Her eyes widened, and she lowered her head avoiding his face. "What do I do now? I can't leave now! I am not done with my Salad, and I am way too hungry." She cursed underneath her breath.
  • She reached for her bag, trying to pick up her file to use it to cover her face, with her head bowed. All this while, her eyes were shut pretty tight because she was trying not to think of what would become of her when Landon sees her.
  • Landon looked around the Restaurant after he had greeted him already, and then he saw a lady sitting around the corner with her head covered with a file. The lady looked so familiar to him, and he decided to get a clearer view of the person.
  • He walked closer and then he realized it was the Lady that couldn't stop screaming in front of his Company. "Look who we have here." He smirked. Kimberly bit her lower lip hard knowing she had been caught, but then boldly moved the file from her face and looked up.
  • "And look who we have here." She replied, pretending not to have seen him before. Landon let out a little laugh, looking at what she had in front of her for lunch. "You seem to be enjoying yourself in my Restaurant, after the stunt you pulled earlier," Landon said, drawing the chair in front of her a little before sitting on it.
  • "Your restaurant?" Kim asked, pretending not to know. She picked up the plate used to serve her and checked it right in front of Landon again. "Oh, so it's yours. I should have guessed so because the taste sucks." She said, making an irritated expression. "Really? but you seem to have almost finished it." Landon responded.
  • "That is because I don't waste things. I am out of here. Next time, you work on your dishes, okay?" She said and stopped up to leave, but Landon stopped her. "Advice accepted. Your Money please?" He asked, and Kim felt embarrassed In front of the workers.
  • Angrily, she reached for her bag and pulled out USD 10, making sure she made no mistakes pulling out more than that.
  • "Here! I always pay for my food." She said proudly, and Landon moved out of her way. She stormed out of the restaurant, but right before then, Landon saw something drop from her bag as she kept swaying them.
  • He moved closer and saw it was Money. He picked it up and counted it, it was $25USD. "She would come back for the money, and I would be so glad to meet her again." He thought, grinning wickedly.
