Demon

chapter 29

"Oh Albert, I missed you terribly"

Alesandro rolled his eyes. It had been a few weeks since he hired her and they both had mutual respect for one another. Alesandro acknowledged she was a good chef and Sienna acknowledged she could learn alot from her boss.

But unlike any other employee, she couldn't resist talking back to him.

He didn't visit the restaurant that much but on his way home from work he decided to check in and see how they worked when getting ready for the evening rush.

"We both know you didn't, Sarah" he replied as he didn't acknowledge her work. He knew her prep wouldn't be faulty, but the other chefs he wasn't convinced. And of course he had to inspect front of house.

"Sienna" she corrected.

"Alesandro" he replied.

The two adults smiled at each other before they got back to their tasks. The respect and understanding they had for each other meant they got along quite well.

Alesandro always tried to make sure he was home for when his children finished school, sometimes it wasn't possible however with Emilia's friends coming over, he was wanting to see Dantes reaction so he had made sure he got home in time.

"Hello again Mr Russo" Sophia greeted Emilia's father.

"Hope you don't mind I tagged along sir" Antonio added

Both of them were definitely intimidated by Emilia's family but didn't bother acknowledging it.

"Of course not. It's lovely to see you both again. I'll leave you three too it. Dinner is at 6, I hope you will be joining us" he spoke to them both.

They both didn't know how to anwser, they didn't want to be rude about staying.

"I'll take that as a yes?"

They both nodded. They would never pass up the opportunity to have Alesandros food.
"I think I'm only with you for his food" Antonio joked after Alesandro had left them.

"I think I'd only be with me for his food too" Emilia smiled. Her father was an amazing cook so she didn't take offence to his joke.

"Okay let's go find out if this bastard is cheating on my best friend" Antonio said becoming serious.

Sophia and Antonio had known each other since they were kids and considered each other best friends and when their friendship group got bigger with haley, Evan and Lucy, that never changed until Emilia. And despite how close the group was, the three were best friends.

"Yeah he wilk have to face us if he has" Emilia added

Both fiercely protective of Sophia.

"I'm probably being paranoid guys but it's just the small things, whenever we're together he's always messaging someone, and he makes the weirdest excuses not to spend time with me. And I caught him in a lie, he said he was doing homework but I saw him in a coffee shop with a girl from our year" Sophia explained.

They are in the living room now, Sophia was laid on one sofa, looking up at the ceiling as she spoke. Her two best friends hated seeing her like this.

"But he was probably just studying with the girl" Sophia excused him.

"We will get to the bottom of this Soph" Emilia reassured her.

"Yes and if he had I can rough him up a bit of you want" Antonio added.

"I don't want to see him hurt. I'm probably overthinking , he's just usually so nice to me and thoughtful but the other day he was just rude, like he had better things to do"
