Daddy’s Hot Sauce

Anders Winston arrived at the front gate of the modern type of house, a glass wall was surrounding in some areas while the trees were much likely one of the reasons for its beauty.

He walked toward the gate of the house and lightly fixed himself and pressed the doorbell. But no one was there to open the gate, so he grabbed his phone and called Emily.

His brows furrowed and put one of his hands on his pocket, “Shit!”

He was annoyed that Emily’s phone was out of coverage so he ran inside his car and called another number.

“God damn it! What took you so long to answer your phone!” he exclaimed and hit the steering wheel of his car.

“Woah! Anders Winston, seriously? Am I your employee?”

“Fifteen million dollars, go find this girl and I want to know exactly where she is!”

“Oh- Okay I am your employee now,”

Then Anders clenched his fist while he was thinking other possible things happened to Emily. He won’t let the same thing happen now.

When he was about to start the engine of his car, he saw Emily was walking on the street with her cropped top ruffled shirt and a skirt made of jeans with a cardigan on top. He could not stop staring at her especially when she slurped the carton of Choco milk.

Since his car was tinted, Emily passed across his car and could not help himself but to stare at her.

“This is so good. I’ll buy it again next time, huh?” then out of her curiosity, after passing the sports car that was tinted with black, and was parked right in front of her house, she looked back and was quite familiar with it.

Instead of going back, she grabbed her keys and unlocked the gate and went inside, but the moment that she was about to close the gate. A palm suddenly appeared on the gate and Emily was not expecting him to be there at this moment.

“Anders” she whispered while staring at his height.

She could not believe her eyes that Anders would return for her tonight. The pounding sound of her chest made her deaf with other sounds that were also present in the surroundings.

A pair of eyes that was now staring right to her, the look that was making her unease and those pair of eyes was making her feel like he was digging something inside of her.

“Where have you been?”

Emily looked thankful enough that no one could see them, especially to him who was in front of her house. She did not utter any words and just held his hand and pulled him inside.

“You should not be here! I told you I will just go to your penthouse, just give me some time.”

She lightly shook her head and let go of his hand as they were both in the garden and crossed both of her arms and said,

“If my neighbors found out about you, I’m telling you they will become my instant friends and the crowd here will surely ask me about you, and I hate that! Please stop dropping by here,” she explained and pleaded voices were present to her.

Anders just laughed at her and instead of apologizing to her, he drew a smile on his face and stepped closer at Emily and then he leaned on her to see her face close enough for him to see her eyes.

“The contract is already effective today and I just want to make the most of it. I don’t care about the paparazzi and neighbors, all I care about is the contract. Now, get your stuff and we’ll leave,” he said and swiftly turned his back and left the garden

“Huh! All I care about is the contract!” she imitated him the way he said it to her.

She went upstairs and grabbed her one luggage and the annoyance on her face can easily be noticed by whom to look at her at this moment. Emily was thinking that Anders was being a little kind to her this time, but she was wrong. A completely opposite of the word kind and concern.

“He’s rude, selfish and everything bad goes to him!” she mumbled while getting downstairs and was trying to pull down her luggage.

“Contract! All he cares about is the contract! Nothing else. I am just his toy, his doll.” she shook her head and felt disappointed in herself, but when she saw the portrait of her mom and dad, also the thoughts that her mother told her over the phone made her realize that it was the best feeling ever that she did something great for her parents.

Then a sparing smile appeared on her face, ‘This is not for you, Emily. This is for your parents.” she took a deep breath and opened the door.

From there she saw the luxury car of Anders and could not help herself to be annoyed at him. Right now, she could not even move her feet and half of her was telling that she should not go with him, but she had no choice, so she forcefully mover feet and went out of the house and got inside Anders car.

Without any word, Anders just drove the car and silence was just in between them. He was focused on the road and was trying not to get distracted with Emily.

On the other side, Emily was trying her best not to make a glimpse with Anders. She was not uttering words nor creating any acts just to get his attention. Instead she looked outside the window and stared at the beauty of the city.

The lights were glittering through her eyes, it was her favorite of all the views of the places she has been through, for Emily seeing the city lights was making her mind enlighten and relax. It was just good for sight to see the city lights.

But the wall of silence suddenly broke into pieces and the reason was Anders’ phone that was keeping it ringing.

“Don’t you even want to answer the phone? It might be important or something,” she said and stared at him, who was seriously driving.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Anders did not say any word and just shook his head.

“Fine, do you want me to take the call for you? I’m sorry but it’s so annoying,” she mumbled.
