A Deal With The Billionaire

EPISODE THIRTY NINE

THEME: The Dignitaries

CONNECTICUT, UNITED STATE OF AMERICA

GOLDEN RESTAURANT

Raven inhaled the smell of the kitchen with extreme delight. “Oh my God! I miss the smell of this place. Just a few days off and it seems like a life time already.” She rubbed at the table gently like a lover of hers that she was trying to remember how it felt touching her skin once again.

Not paying attention, Tiana dumped her bag at the usual spot, grabbed an apron and donned it on her neck.

“I love this place!” Raven said.

“It is people like you who get a chance to meet some fairy godmother and ask for her to make the kitchen your future partner.” Tiana purred.

“You sound like it is a bad thing.” Raven chuckled.

“Of course it is a bad thing! I really hate coming here!” Tiana whined.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

Raven turned to face her. “Now tell me, Tiana, is it the kitchen or the building?”

Looking lost for a moment. “I really can’t tell.”

“You are hopeless.” Raven laughed so hard.

“But really jokes aside, Raven do you really miss this place that much?”

Raven nodded as she wore an apron too, while tying her hair up properly in the hairnet and she replied. “I really do.”

Tiana huffed. “I should try to be like you, but nothing please me more than doing nothing!”

“Are you even listening to yourself? Tiana, you sound like a worn out radio!”

“At least my radio aren’t dead yet.” She winked.

“Are we really still talking about the same thing?” Raven demanded with a raised eyebrow.

“Aren’t we?” Tiana burst into a fit of laughter and Raven joined in too.

“I am really not doing this with you right now. Where is everyone?”

At her question, almost like the other kitchen staffs had been hiding out somewhere because they began trooping into the kitchen one after the other. Most times, it was always Raven who came in first and some other staffs before the other would join in.

Sometimes, Tiana was always the last to resume which was mostly the source of argument between she and the manager, Allen. She only made it early to work this morning because she had spent the night at Raven’s house who wouldn’t take lateness lightly. But aside that Tiana was really good at what she does, her delicacies were top notch and she had been featured on the local newspaper at one time for the next rated chef. Also she had kitchen control as mannerless and unsettled as she might seem. No one wants to be in Tiana’s black book because she doesn’t take to things like that lightly.

“That’s enough chat for the morning guys. Everyone get to work!” Tiana ordered while she stood next to Raven who didn’t move an inch.

“He is very fine now. The surgery went well.” Raven replied in a high pitched tone for anyone who might care to want to ask again.

They all clapped and congratulated her. She get elated. It would have been a different case if anything had gone wrong with him. Maybe she would have never been back at Golden Restaurant as her heart wouldn’t be in place.

Raven washed her hands by the basin and got a clean plate to season some prawns. She looked up at Tiana who had already found something to chew on.

“I was just about to say something. But isn’t it too early for that miss?” Raven pointed at the cucumber her friend was chewing on.

Tiana swallowed the chunk of cucumber in her mouth. “If there is anything I have done wrong to deserve this probe from you this morning, please forgive me.” She wailed in pretense.

“Faking cries doesn’t really suit you.” Raven scoffed. “Anyways you owe me some detailed discussion on the guy pumping you up the other day.” She wiggled her brows.

Tiana faked a gasp. “Oh my God! Since when did you pick interest in such discussion? Oh my goodness! Tiana, you are such a bad influence!” She grinned.

“Shut the hell up and tell me about it.”

“Well there is nothing really going on between us. He is just a one night stand, probably might be more nights stand cause dear god of sex, he knows how to hit the right spot!” She moaned.

Raven slapped Tiana’s outstretched hands placed on the table in a bid to demonstrate how she was being sexed.

“Quit being silly, the staffs are listening!”

“It is not like I care and which one of them here isn’t getting fucked except you though.” Tiana winked.

“I know that’s not all, tell me all about your one night stand man. It is the way you always probe me too.” She said.

“Is it really that bad?”

“Very bad.”

“Fine! I met him at the grocery store down my street!”

Raven’s eyes widened in shock. “Tiana! A store guy! What were you thinking?!” She whispered.

“Dick.”

“Really?”

“Really.”

Raven facepalmed herself. “You know what forget I asked you anything.”

Tiana grinned mischievously as she lowered her voice. “Hell no, I am going to give you a full details of how it went down. It started-”

“Don’t you dare!”

“Oh you will see. So we started kissing from the living room until we were both unclad and he fucking tongue fucked me till I was on cloud nine. Oh my freaking goodness, he is so good with his tongue that…” Her voice trailed off when Raven pointed the sharp edge of the knife she was using at her.

“Get behind me devil! I warn you, Tiana. Stay the fuck away from me.” She couldn’t control the laughter that ruptured through her and it made her get looks from some of the staffs in the kitchen.

Raising her hand up in surrender as she laughed along. “You seemed so eager few minutes ago, so what changed?” Tiana taunted.

“Your crazy images changed my mind. I really don’t want to hear anymore of your sexcapades if there is a word like that.”

Tiana clicked her tongue. “That’s sucks though, I was just about to get started.”

“You are truly a bad influence, Tiana. Please can we get some work done.”

Tiana rolled her eyes. “Yes ma’am.” Just as she turned back she saw Allen walked into the kitchen. “And if it is not the joy of the universe.” She mocked, sneering at him.

Allen gave her a curt look but he ignored her. It was obvious that he didn’t come for Tiana this time.

“Good morning, Raven!” He greeted.

A shocking look was boldly written on all their faces as they looked up to see who it was, the not so pretty looking face manager, Allen. He was the most cold personnel in the restaurant so it was a surprised that he was greeting a staff below him in such a high pitched tone.

Raven looked around and wondered if she was in any kind of trouble. “Good morning, Allen. Do you need anything?” She asked.

“Yes I do.” He smiled stiffly.

“But please first pardon my manner, how is your boy? I heard he got really sick last week.”

“He is fine now. Thank you.” Raven replied.

Allen cleared his throat. “The thing is there are some dignitaries at the restaurant who had asked for you specifically. They had sent a waiter to come get me to call you out. And it would be rude to refuse our esteemed customers so please go and meet them. They are at table twenty four.” And with that Allen turned around walking with a slow gait which was obviously intentional to get on Tiana’s nerves. She hated him or any other non kitchen staff coming into the kitchen with no prior reason. However, since he had a tangent reason he rejoiced in throwing it to her face.

“Urggggggghhhhh! I might break his head soon!” Tiana growled.

“And I feel like a wedding might be coming up soon. You both seem to enjoy getting under each other’s skin so much.” Raven jested as she walked out of the kitchen.

She wondered who the people were to have even known her name and asked to see her. On getting closer to the table twenty four she saw the reason why her name had been stated specifically.
