Her Secret Identity: Mystery Guy

Chapter 16

*Emily's Pov*

Dexter was in front of me in a waiter's uniform.

"Dexter, what are you doing here?" I asked him confused

"Oh! Emily, I didn't expect to see you here. Sorry, let me just permission to talk to you for sometime"

Dexter left to meet the manager and told him, the manager quickly agreed since Dexter's mom owns this restaurant.

He came back and sat down in front of me.

"So, are you helping your parents to manage the restaurant?" I asked taking a bite out of my cake.

"No, I am actually taking the role of being a waiter." He said sheepish.

"W-wow, that's nice but why?" I asked shyly remembering my role.

"Oh, I just wanted to help my parents while training myself to actually work. Like, I want to really work and not have to depend on my parent's fortune. I want to earn my own money so that when I grow up, I can help my parents. But my parents want me to work under them, that's why I am working here. I don't want to work as the head of this place, but as a employee cause it is just way better. I want to actually work without my parents influence being the main reason for my success. Do you understand what I mean?" He rambled on zealously before asking me with sparkling eyes.

I could tell he really loves his work. It seems he wants to be the one working without having to say it is mostly because of his parents helping him.

I was just staring at him as he continued talking about his job. I smiled cause he was kinda cute like this, as though he was a little child.

He finally noticed my stare and how I wasn't talking, so he coughed and blushed.

"Hmmm, sorry I was rambling. I kinda just got caught up in it" He said still blushing.

He is really cute. He is so zealous about his work.

I chuckled in my mind.

"No, it's ok. I am sorry for staring too." I said still keeping my pretence.

I am not really sorry cause he looked so cute, but still I shouldn't have stared at him like that.

"It's ok." He said with a smile while I giggled.

We kept on talking for sometime while I was eating, until I received a message from Jay.

'Boss, where are you? You are supposed to be here by now'

Oops! I had totally forgotten about that. Dexter was so fun to be with that I even stopped acting shy at some point.

"Sorry, but I have to go now" I said apologetically.

"It's ok. I have to get back to work anyway. Bye" He said as he helped me up.

"Thanks, bye" I waved at him as I left.

I had long finished my cake and coffee, so I went directly to the company.

I had a special entrance to enter the company during the daytime and it is hidden, I entered through that entrance.

I got inside and entered my office.

Jay gave me so much work, it was so annoying. This is why I took coffee.

Halfway through my work, I decided to check my phone as I had a feeling that something would happen if I did, and I saw a message.

'Did you enjoy the vanilla cake Miss IFU?'

It was from the mystery guy, but how did he know I took a vanilla cake?

Wait! Don't tell me it's Dexter. I was actually starting to warm up to him.

Anyway, it is either Dexter, or the mystery guy was in the restaurant or near it.

I just remembered something. Domain Restaurant was the first place that mystery guy sent me a message.

I have to get more information about Dexter.

"Jay, can you tell the Mike, the information manager, that he should get me all info on Dexter?"

"Yes boss, I am on it" He said as he winked.

In 5 minutes, I got all the info.

Dexter's info was clean, what he told me were true. There is almost no reason to suspect him, if not for his normal record. It is almost too perfect, too normal.

Why? Just why? I warmed up to him just to find out that he was a suspect.

I finally pushed the thought out of my mind and focused on my work.

I got home around 10pm and went to my room, just to find my mom and dad going through my clothes.

"What is going on here?" I asked suspiciously.

"Darling, you are back." My parents said together.

"Yes, I am..." I trailed off looking at them suspiciously.

"Well, you know that there is a masquerade ball coming up soon. I-We are going through your clothes to find the perfect dress for you" My mom said warmly.

"But the ball won't take place till next month. So why do you want to find a dress now?" I asked confused

"It is never too early to start preparing your dress" Mom said with her eyes sparkling.

"Plus, I want everyone to know that my daughter is the most beautiful lady in the world" Dad said childishly.

"Ok, I am going to sleep. I am very tired"

"Oh my darling, you must not overwork yourself. Go and sleep baby" Mom said.

"Yes. We will go now and continue checking your clothes tomorrow. Bye" Dad said as they left my room.

I sighed, wore my Pyjamas and went to sleep.
