Chocoholic... a healthy love story

Chapter 8

" Emma!", Isabella shouted as she entered the apartment, she didn't hear her friend's response.

" Hope she didn't leave without saying goodbye!", Isabella said as she put her bag on the sofa and took out her phone and dialed Emma's number.

" Her phone is off!", Isabella said as she tried to call again.

She heard someone opening the front door and checked who it was and she was happy when she saw Emma coming in.

" Em! I thought you left without saying goodbye!", Isabella said as Emma entered the sitting room in a hurry saying she's looking for her phone charger .

" Why would I leave without telling you Isa!", Emma said smiling as she plugged in her phone.

" I'm leaving for four days , you are acting as if I'm going away for a year!", Emma said with a smile as she looked through her bag.

" Well four days without you, would feel like a year!", Isabella said as she sat down opposite Emma.

Emma was leaving on a four days trip with the company she was working with. They were preparing for a big fashion show and Emma was chosen to be part of it. She was flying to Italy with some of the top designers from Nick and Herz.

" Guess What I've got!?", Emma asked as she took out something from her bag.

" Em you know I don't like guessing games ! Tell me what you have there!", Isabella said staring at her friend.

Emma gave her an envelope and she hurried to open it looking at her friend smiling.

" Em it's an invite to the fashion show! OMG! The Nick and Herz fashion show!", Isabella said staring at the invitation in her hands.

" The other one is for Gary . I will have  you guys there with me!I'm super excited . My first experience! And Miss Garcia I'm fixing you up for that night ok , it's not any night it's Nick and Herz fashion show!", Emma said.

" I'm super scared as well! Have to impress the designers, models and Nick himself!", Emma said.

" You will be fine! Just bring your sparkle every where you go!", Isabella said blowing a kiss to her friend.

" And How was work?", Emma asked standing up and taking the tv remote.

" Well, I saw my boss making out with some woman which I presumed must be that Heidi. Tall woman with reddish hair. I almost got fired , I had a fight with my boss , I contributed in the new Chocolate campaign at the company.. in all it was a super excited and nerve wrecking day!", Isabella said getting up and walking to the kitchen .

Emma hurried behind her ,
" What !! Can you please tell me everything in details!", Emma said sitting down on the kitchen counter as Isabella looked through the cabinet for a saucepan.

" Spaghetti tonight?!", Isabella asked as she put on her apron.

Emma nodded yes and urged her to tell her about her day. Isabella took a deep breath and started to tell her friend about what happened at the office.
Emma looked at her excitedly as she bite on an apple.

" Wow! You are surely having some fun these past few days! Plus you are surrounded by hunks!!... hmm I wonder why this Adrian is being nice!", Emma said raising her eyebrows at her friend and laughing .

" Em , get out!", Isabella said laughing as she put the spaghetti in the boiling water .

She heard her phone buzzing and she picked it up.

" Hello, oh hi Mrs. Cora. At this time .. but I don't ... ok no problem I'll do that. Yes see you tomorrow", Isabella said hanging up the phone and growled.

" What's wrong!?", Emma asked as she looked at her.

" Look at the time! I should not be working, now I have to go pick up Mr. Kal's dry cleaning at the dry cleaner . That woman .. his new assistant forgot to tell me this morning! I feel she is doing that on purpose!", Isabella said as she asked Emma to keep an eye on the spaghetti.

She walked upstairs and hurried in the bathroom. She was so upset since she was not supposed to work at that time of the day.

" It's probably that ruthless guy who asked her to do that! Now I have to go all the way in town . She was supposed to send me the address! I'm so angry !", Isabella thought as she got out and walked to her room.

She hurried and changed into a pair or jeans and a crop top.

" Emma sorry about dinner!", Isabella shouted as she ran down the stairs.

" It's ok , I'll do it. I'm leaving early morning, Gary will be driving me to the airport ", Emma said as she leaned against the kitchen door and looked at her friend.

" I'll be back soon", Isabella said walking towards the door when her phone rang.

" Hello, yes Mrs. Cora . I'll meet him at the company no problem", Isabella said as she hung up.

" A driver is waiting for me at the company ,Well at least .. now it's 6.00pm , I should be back by 9", Isabella said checking her watch.

She waved goodbye to Emma as she left.
She hurried to the bus stop and almost missed the bus as she ran towards the bus waving her hands luckily the driver saw her and waited for her she got in and sat down catching her breath.

I have to go to Kal's residence. Hopefully he is not there!, Isabella said quietly as she looked out of the window.

Isabella picked up the dry cleaning and got in the company car. The driver drove her to Kal's house. They drove up a beautiful driveway and stopped at the gate of a beautiful villa.The driver spoke to the security officer who let them in and they drove to a car park.

" Wow!", Isabella thought as she got out.

She had never seen this part of Greece before , she was in the mountain area and she bet that from Kal's house you can see the sea. She grabbed all the dry cleaning and walked towards the villa.
She noticed that there were several cars parked and she felt a bit awkward as she pressed the door bell.
A woman opened the door and looked at her weirdly.

" Hi, I've brought this for Mr. Dukas", Isabella said and that woman walked away leaving her standing there . She walked in and stood in the door way and she looked around the house .

Wow! Even the interior is nice!, Isabella said to herself turning to look outside and when she turned and looked back inside she was surprised to see Kal standing in front of her looking at her.

" What are you doing here?", Kal asked .

" I'm sorry to disturb you but Mrs. Cora forgot to mention that I had to pick up your dry cleaning. So I'm here to drop them. Now if you don't mind ..", Isabella said as she handed Kal the clothes.

Kal stepped back and looked at her,

" Well take them upstairs. Just down the corridor and the room on the right. I have to go back to my guests", Kal said as he grabbed a bottle of champagne and turned to walk away.

" Excuse me Sir!", Isabella said annoyingly.

Kal turned and looked at her .

" As far as I am aware , I'm not your maid! If you can't take your clothes well I might as well drop them on the floor!", Isabella said looking at Kal. She hated the way he treated her as if she was inferior and had to obey his every whims.

" Dont you dare Miss. Garcia!", Kal said walking towards her as he put the bottle back on the kitchen counter.

He walked towards her not breaking his gaze from hers. Isabella felt her body shivering as she looked at Kal approaching her . She could see he was angry and his piercing eyes stared at her making her feel uncomfortable.

What will he do?!, Isabella thought as he grabbed her arms.
