A Greek God's Treasure

Chapter 3

Ugghhh, I sighed and turn in the unbelievable comfortable,fluffy bed. I opened my eyes and realize it was Hennessy's room. The windows were open and with the new floating lights came a beautiful hangover, or should I say a head-splitting headache.

My eyes darted to the small table beside the bed and saw coffee, a bottle of water with a air of painkillers. If my head wasn't parting in two maybe my heart would go out to Hennessy. 

I manage to smiled and to the painkillers. I sighed as I sipped the coffee, it was the same as what I ordered at the coffee shop. I didn't remember telling Hennessy but it is my favorite so I think she know.

I attempted to stand and visit the bathroom. I realized I was in my PJs, I had clothes and other stuff in Hennessy bungalow. Her parents wouldn't let her go so they gave her a bungalow on the far right from their house.

After I had showered and gotten dressed in a pair of ripped jeans and a black tee and my black combat boots. I frowned my way over to the main house. I was not a morning person,trust me.

I slide into the bar stool in front of the kitchen counter and sighed to acknowledge my presence. Hennessy turned and look at me. 

"What's up with you cupcake?" Hennessy smiled at me knowing I hated the name. "My tummy is empty sugar" I laughed using back a pet name. She placed a plate with pancake in front me and pushed a cup of black coffee towards me. 
"No can't do, if I have another cup after that last one I will be high on caffeine for the whole day," I sincerely declined.  She raised a brow at me and said "what coffee Remedy? I have been in the kitchen since morning and I left you in bed groaning and sleeping."

So if it's not her then who?

"I woke up and saw a hangover aid package thingy on the table and I assumed it was you," I spoke deep in thoughts. I sighed in defeat. "So someone broke into my house and left you a mystery package, okay not creepy at all,". I smiled at her.

  
"Also Mother wanted me to drop by at the company to give Alex some 'heart-warming' cupcake, wanna come along?" Hennessy said taking my plate to the sink. "Yea, sure like I have a choice, my car's back at grandpas. You drove here remember?" I replied sarcastically.

After a long drive we arrived at Figuero's Jewels. On the way over Hennessy explain all of the standard tips I needed so I don't look odd in a building like this, thankfully I got to keep the jeans and boots.

We started to walk toward the front desk when a quirky blonde approach us. " Hello ladies, How may I help you today?" She was a typical barbie doll, I personally wasn't feeling the whole ' it's the boss sister have to be nice personality' thing she had going on.

"Hey I'm here bearing cupcakes for the boss," Hennessy said.

"Right this way, he just left a meeting and will be in shortly" She led us in an office and left after. 

The office was nice in decor, it held a weird atmosphere that I couldn't pin point just like him. He had a large wooden desk in front a floor to ceiling window. Even the room held his scent, spearmint and a hint of after-shaved.  

The wooden door opened with a crack and the Alec walked into the room with a tall male species with messy brown hair. They were laughing about something so I don't think they realize we were there.

Hennessy cleared her throat roughly to gain their attention. They both look at us with a confused look then look at the cupcake. Alec rudely took one and the brunette took the strawberry one, which was the one I was craving since I saw them. 

"A thanks would be nice" Hennessy mumbled under her breath.

I sighed and rolled my eyes. Alec turned his gazed to me and said" Good morning Ms. Smith, Had fun last night?". I turn and raised a brow at him " What you talking about Mr. Figeuro?". He smirked and said never mind. I shrugged and stayed quiet as they chatted on. 

I felt a gaze at me and was it was from Mr. Brunette. I marched his gaze with a little challenge, he simply smiled. 

"This is Carlos Authors, my secretary, my best friend and occasional therapist," Alec broke the staring contest and looking a bit uptight. I shook Carlos's firm and smooth hand complimented with long fingers. "Reme-" 

"Don't worry I know" Carlos winked.

"Have you talked to her yet Hennessy?" Alec directing his question to Hennessy.  "No I didn't think you were seriously, Feel" 

"Don't call me that Henny" Alec puts up his defenses. " Go ahead and ask her now would you,". Call me self-absorbed or whatever but that sounds like it's me.

" Remedy, would you like to stay at my place, so Felix here will shut up?" Hennessy turn to me and spoke a bit blunt. 

I thought for a sec, I guess grandpa wouldn't mind. I'm suppose to be on vacation but what the heck," I'll do it" I said. Alec gave a brief smirk only I had notice and I suddenly wonder why I had accepted.
