Dating Contract
CHAPTER 186: THUMPING
POV Sasha
When moving the bread, the creaking of the glass door stopped my hand. I checked who it was. And drew my gaze back on the big loaf of bread in hand.
"Busy Sha?"
After looking at the clock, taking into account the number of loafs of bread on the table left in my twenties, "No, give me ten minutes, giggly."
The shoes were getting closer. I ignored, quickly closed the boxes that had been filled.He tried to help.
"Rest above" I said, seizing the dus that Johan had filled with bread.
"Is he also upstairs?" ask her in a flowery tone.
I looked at him for a moment and he grinned. One of my eyebrows shot up," 'He'? you mean..." Johan did not answer and chose to leave me, climbing the stairs.
Carrying a steaming cup of tea and bread, I found Johan holding onto Vino's toy.
"He's home yet?"
"What's wrong with you, Jo?" remove the bread from the tray, put it on the table. "So, just here to ask him?" I tried to smile.
"Sha, I want to see you," he said sounding pleasantries. "What city does he live in?" it looks like he can not wait for my answer with the attitude of maintaining prestige.
His face flushed red as he lowered his head, playing with the star-shaped Vino toy.
Then he sighed violently and then chuckled.
Johan is still sane, right?
"Since when have you met him, Sha?" her shoulders stiffened, "you didn't even tell her about 'the rose'"
Johan's question is ambiguous. So she actually knows Lala or not.
Lala also asked me to protect her identity. It really frustrates me.
"He's married" I said flatly, lying according to Lala's request. Yes, I cannot betray my best friend.
However, my relationship with Johan was also very close, from the college days. Even Johan helped me from the drunkard who wanted to beat my wounds.
And Johan helped my husband's finances from the brink of bankruptcy.
"Oh yeah? so why didn't her husband come?" ask him with a fading smile.
My eyebrows shot up, "su-ami him. There's work," I stammered the lie.
"Say, where's the city?"
"Lost in ..." I had a hard time answering, even though I made up in the end I knew Johan would definitely be looking for himself.
Just like the time, he caught the guy who wanted to kill me even though that jerk was in the smallest corner of town, Johan managed to find and imprison the jerk.
"In...?" Johan raised an eyebrow, staring intently as if scanning the contents of my head.
"Why don't you look for it yourself?" Then I smiled crisply, heart pounding.
The sound of a hammering chimes from the toy in Johan's hand. I felt I had done nothing wrong, so why was Johan's aura so intimidating.
"Johan," I quivered, "I found the idea of making a cake in the shape of a palace. It's a twin palace, maybe Amber and Lydia like it, " said I tried to divert her mind.
I sighed, leaning back on the sofa, looking up at the ceiling with beautiful gypsum carvings. "So when did Amber come back to this town?"
"I still don't know" she pulled herself onto the sofa, following my movements as if her eyes were shooting into the living room ceiling. Actually, Johan is still very charming at his age, so ...
He turned his head towards me, "what are you hiding, Sha?" his eyes pierced me.
"No!" Yes, I answered with a lie.
"It was supposed to be a special gift for Lydia and Amber, but it's not possible now."
I read Johan's words just now. It was as if he had found what I was hiding, until a chill crept under the skin. Damnit damnit! felt as if the ball was going up and down in my throat, "You mean?"
He sat back elegantly and finished the tea. While I thought of his enigmatic sentence. "Johan?"
He grabbed a packet of chicken sandwiches and stuffed it into a suit bag. Then kissed my right cheek, until he left without a word.
Hiya, I can't guess at all what's in her mind. I'm stuck, this shouldn't be happening and it's making it hard for me.
Equally, I also do not know, whether Lala actually knew it was Johan or not, why ask me to hide his identity from anyone.
What's really going on with them?
...**...
Tomorrow's anniversary of the city coincides with the red date. I was still cool at Ella's restaurant, spending all three of us there.
The three of us are like a complete package. I left my bread at Ella's restaurant, also at Lala's place of business.
And I was able to get more orders because of Lala's acquaintance in the district and her business friends.
And we could spend the day off at the beach, right there at Ella's restaurant. On the top floor there is also a room for us to rest.
As the day began to night, a cold gust past my neck gave me goosebumps. I stared at Lala who was staring at Remi's card, with deep furrowed brows. I guess he will lose again.
Currently Vino is sleeping with - sister Ella - upstairs. Tonight we three will stay here.
Visitors to the restaurant began to be quiet, actually the hotel where Johan stayed is only a few distance from the shophouse of this place.
Have they never met before last night's party?
My eyes did not blink when I caught from afar a figure that I seemed to know well. My reflexes moved to Lala's side and turned my back to the entrance. My heart is pounding fast, I hope the man doesn't find me.
"Hey you want to peek!" Lala squeaked while cupping the rest of the cards into the chest. While I closed the card on the left, trying to hide the face from the left side, and Lala instead looked at my card, she glared sharply, and for a moment her eyes drooped. Yeah, I know he's gonna lose.
However, this situation was different, I could not breathe hearing the sound of steps and the conversation of people was getting closer.
"Hey face forward, don't peek at my cards," I said to Lala, I don't want the man behind, to see Lala's face.
"Ye, it's your turn, hurry." Inevitably I took out my card and simultaneously paced beside me.
Luckily, the one passing by was not that person. I sighed, it seems like the man did not choose a seat near here.
"Your turn" I told Lala who was wearing a white maxi dress.
A falling pat landed on my left shoulder, as if my heart was falling out! from the spot, a cold crept in my veins and my head ached. Then Lala looked...
