Chocoholic... a healthy love story

Chapter 10

With watery eyes Isabella said goodbye to her friend in the early hours of the morning. They  hugged each other and Emma promised to call her as soon as she arrived in Italy and she will send her loads of pictures.She walked back upstairs and locked her bedroom door. She checked the time and checked her alarm , she had four more hours of sleep.

Her phone vibrating woke her up, she checked it was a text from Mrs. Cora.

" Mr. Kal will need you at his house today. Go straight to his house", Isabella read the text twice  and then she suddenly sat up in her bed, " I have to go to his house again!", Isabella said as she checked her time it was 5.30 in the morning.

" That woman doesn't sleep!?", Isabella asked referring to Mrs. Cora.

She looked up at the ceiling, she was still tired and couldn't believe that Mrs. Cora would text her at 5.30 in the morning!

"Why do I have to go there again?!", Isabella said thinking about last night.

She rolled over in her bed and tried to close her eyes but she couldn't get herself back to sleep .
She switched off her alarm and made her way downstairs.She put on the kettle and sat down on a stool holding her cup in her hands as she waited for the water to boil .

" I should definitely have a super strong cup of coffee!", Isabella said to herself.

One good thing I don't have classes today!, Isabella thought as she made her coffee.
She went in the sitting room and switched on the tv. She scrolled through the channels until she found the music channel.

" Just want I needed some music to wake me up!", Isabella said as she put the volume a little louder.

She drank her coffee and made her way upstairs, humming to the song " Careless Whisper " by George Michael .

Do I have to wear my uniform?, Isabella thought since she will not be going to the office. She grabbed a skirt and a T-shirt and put on her sneakers . Isabella put her hair up in a messy bun and made her way downstairs, switching off the tv ,grabbing her bag and she walked out of the apartment and locked the door.

She took in a deep breath , she could smell the fresh bread from the bakery close by and the smell of roses from the neighbor's garden.Isabella loved the feeling of fresh air on her face and the wind caressing her skin.

" Hope the day will be good as the way I'm feeling now!", Isabella said closing her eyes. She checked her phone for Kal's address and hurried to the bus stop. She will need to take a bus to the city and then take a taxi to Kal's house.

So much for saving! And I haven't even received any notice regarding my salary !, Isabella said to herself as she hurried to the bus stop.
She almost fell asleep on the bus and she had to keep herself distracted to stay awake.

" I hope I don't fall asleep at work!", Isabella said yawning , she was glad the bus was finally in the city .
She hurried to catch a taxi and gave him the address to Kal's residence.

" 30 Euros! From the city to here!", Isabella said as she checked the taxi meter.
She took out thirty euros from her purse and gave it to the taxi driver ,she got out from the taxi still complaining.
She made her way to Kal's house and rang the door bell, the door was opened by the same woman who opened the door the previous night .
Isabella smiled and the woman only stared at her blankly and told her to come in.

" Sir is waiting for you in the garden", she said in a soft tone that Isabella barely  could  understand what she was saying. 

She walked through the house and found her way to the garden. She walked out and saw Kal and his girlfriend sitting at a table having breakfast and she was all over him.
Isabella wanted to go back inside and waited for them to finish breakfast when Kal turned around and spotted her.

" Ah .. Miss Garcia! Come here", Kal said in an authoritative voice.

Isabella walked towards them and she noticed how his girlfriend stared at her from head to toe like their first encounter in Kal's office.

" Clear the table", Kal said and he noticed how the expression on Isabella's face changed . Her face was now clouded with anger.

She looked at him in surprise and she clenched her hands. Isabella took in a deep breath, she couldn't believe that Kal ordered her to clear his breakfast table whilst his maid was inside the house.
Kal and his girlfriend carried on flirting with each other not caring that she was there.
Isabella was so upset that she wanted to break everything that was on the table !

She grabbed the glasses and mischievously dropped the orange juice on Heidi.
Heidi got up from table and looked at Isabella angrily,

" What do you think you are doing?", Heidi shouted at her.

Isabella stood there with her hands over her mouth,

" Well Excuse me Ma'am ! I'm not a waitress so I could get a little clumsy", Isabella said walking away carrying only the glasses, leaving Heidi puffing with anger as she showed Kal her dress drenched in orange juice .

Isabella walked inside and saw the maid , she told her Mr. Dukas was looking for her .
Isabella grabbed her bag and made her way towards the front door , she was not staying in that house for another minute, she rather go back to the office and put up with Mrs. Cora!

She felt insulted by the way Kal treated her  and at that moment,she wanted to be very far away from him.

" Miss Garcia!", Isabella heard Kal calling her.

She turned and looked at him ,

" Wait for me in my office!", Kal ordered her showing her towards his home office .

Isabella looked at him angrily and then walked to his office and slammed the door behind her.
She had enough of the way Kal was treating her!
She sat down in his office on the sofa and crossed her legs. She was supposed to come to his house to work not to be his maid ! Isabella thought as she looked around the room.

She looked at her watch and hoped that he will not come through that door and shout at her because she will not hold it back. That man brought the worst out of her and she hated that.

" So handsome , but such a savage!", Isabella thought.

Isabella checked her watch for the  tenth time and noticed that she had been waiting for Kal for nearly an hour.
She was getting tired from the lack of sleep last night and she could feel her body was slowly drifting in a sleeping mode.She tried to open her eyes as wide as possible but slowly her eyes closed and she dozed off.

Kal walked in and saw Isabella sleeping on the sofa in his office. Her hair which was previously in a bun was all over her face. He  let his eyes feast on her legs up to her face . She was so beautiful sleeping there that he didn't want to wake her but he remembered last night when he had seen her with Adrian and he got upset. He walked out of the office and into the garden running his hand through his hair. He had asked for her to come over so that he could keep her away from Adrian for the day. He was sure his brother would have gone to look for her at the company today. Adrian had been in such a good mood after he saw him flirting with Isabella last night.

Why m' I doing that?! Why should I protect her from Adrian? Is that the reason why or I'm just trying to keep her close to me?!, Kal asked himself as he looked at the sea. He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't see Isabella walking out to the garden towards him.

" Mr. Dukas?", he heard her voice from behind him.
Isabella looked at Kal , he  looked upset and  confused at the same time and then he turned his back towards her looking back at the sea.

" Yes ! Miss Garcia?", he asked annoyingly.

" I just want to say I'm sorry for earlier , I mean  dropping the juice on your girlfriend.. Sir .. I didn't like that you asked me to...", Isabella was saying when Kal raised one of his hand as if telling her to stop talking.

" Let's go to my office we have a lot of work to do", he ordered her and she remained quiet and obeyed as she walked back inside .

Isabella felt her heart was breaking, no matter what she tried to do Kal Dukas kept hurting her over and over again! And the worst thing she liked him more than she should!
