CHAPTER 6 One on One
Emily was surprised by the hand on top of her notebook, she slowly looked upon that person who was standing in front of her, a sudden beat of a drum that she felt in her chest. She was also anxious about the murmured of her seatmates.
Then, as she saw the person in front of her, she sparingly smiled towards that person. It was Mr. Winston, he was the one who put his hand on Emily’s notebook. Tall, handsome and the hottest bachelor in town was now looking at her, those pair of deep coal eyes will make every woman turn into like a melting candle.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
“You seem so busy, Miss Smith.” then he showed his devilish smile, “Reviewing your notes?” he crossed both of his arms as he looked at the notebook holding by Emily.
Emily felt embarrassed by what he said, so she swiftly closed her notes. “Uh… I’m sorry, Mr. Winston.” she apologized to him while putting down her notebook on the table.
Anders looked around and said. “Everyone, let’s listen to Miss Emily as she will be going to show us the different cuts of meat, specifically beef.” then he looked at her with a serious face and pointed to the table in front of the class.
She was about to explain herself so she stepped closer to him and said. “Mr. Winston, look I’m sorry for…” Emily wasn’t able to finish what she was going to say when Mr. Winston sat on her chair and gestured his hand to go in front of the class.
Emily took a deep breath and has no choice but to go in front of the room. When she was in front of the class she stared at the table and saw those things that needed to wear before starting to cut the meat, she wore the hairnet, apron and she slowly put on the rubber gloves on her hands.
Anders smirked as she saw the gloves on her hands so he raised his hand to ask a question.
“Miss Smith, What’s the basic rule in cutting the meat?”
Emily swallowed and felt so embarrassed and couldn’t answer the question; she got nervous this time so no words came out of her mouth. She looked around the room where every student in there was looking at her while others were whispering to each other.
Anders heaved out a sighed and massaged his temples.
“Can someone help her?” Anders said while looking around the class. He saw a hand was raised in front and called her name.
“Yes, Miss Harper?” then he gestured for Miss Harper to go in front and help Emily.
A voluptuous woman stood up wearing her black fitted dress that shows up her boobies and her slender legs too. She walked in front of the class to help Emily but as she arrived there, a pair of sharp eyes she threw at Emily and even bumped Emily’s shoulders.
Emily ignored it and just shrugged both of her shoulders and stepped back to give her the spotlight.
“Stupid,” said Harper while she continued cutting the meat.
Emily was so annoyed and felt embarrassed in front of the other people,
she looked at Harper and suddenly noticed the difference between them. Harper was one of the students in this class who were filthy rich and came from a business clan with a voluptuous figure that every man was dreaming of, Harper was one of the ideal women for Emily. She could cook and a smart one.
Emily heaved out a sigh and felt down, she did not want to compare herself to anyone else but she could not avoid it, after all, she was just lucky enough that someone loved her.
Harper was done showing the class how to cut the meat and then she showed her sweetest smile to each of them and stared at Mr. Winston. As for Harper, she just wanted to be in this class because of Mr. Anders Winston; she wanted to get close to him.
And if you looked at Harper, she was not your typical woman, because of her taste in clothes. Most of her clothes were fitted on her body, and no one could ever resist looking at her curvy figure, whenever she was walking in the hallway. It was like she was a supermodel, the way she walked, talked, and act in front of people.
Then Emily looked at herself, she was just an ordinary woman, who loved to wear sneakers and jeans every time that she was going around. Wearing those thick glasses would make her seem more of a nerdy type of person. She was not pretty through her mom has a beauty queen type of aura. People often said to Emily that she was just adopted because how she looked and dressed was the opposite of her mom.
Then, the bell rang and everyone was just relieved, especially Emily. She put down her hat and hairnet as well as the gloves were thrown in the bin. She sighed and was surprised when Harper bumped her and when she looked at her, Harper was raising her brows and whispered, “Stupid!”.
Emily was clenching her fist and wanted to pull down her hair but she did not want any attention from anyone so she took a deep breath to calm down herself.
Anders stood up and stepped forward, Emily and Harper. He gestured to both ladies to go back to their seats but as Emily passed in front of Mr. Winston she heard a whisper.
“Stay here after the class.”
Emily looked at him and just nodded, then went back to her seat.
Anders applauded Miss Harper for showing her skills in cutting the meat. It was so neat and perfect for a beginner like her. Everyone in the class was amazed by Harper’s skills, but Emily felt nothing but annoyed to her especially that she called her stupid while cutting the meat.
The bell rang once again and immediately the students stood up to go out of the room. Emily stayed there while she was looking at Mr. Winston and waited for him to speak.
“Mr. Winston, I… I have to go..” she was stuttering on her words as he looked at his kissable lips.
Anders didn’t say anything and was still busy reading some papers on her desk.
Then after a while, he stood up and stepped forward to Emily. Every footstep of Anders made Emily uncomfortable, his gaze was also intimidating, so Emily stepped back before Anders get near to her.
Unfortunately, Emily reached the wall of the room so she could not take off her eyes on Anders, it was like she saw a real Hercules; a living Greek God. Emily didn’t notice that Anders was holding her wrist and they were walking in the hallway.
The crowd was just surprised by them, especially Harper who was walking in the opposite direction. She was about to approach Anders but she saw Emily behind and made her brows raised to Emily.
“Mr. Winston, Would you mind looking at…” Harper was surprised because she never expected to be ignored by him.
Anders continued to walk down the hallway while holding Emily’s wrist. He never glimpsed nor speak to her.
Emily felt like she won against her so she smiled behind and stared at Harper. She saw how annoyed she was and saw her stomped her feet.
When they reached the parking lot. Emily strangled herself from him.
“Mr. Winston, I apologized for what happened earlier. I think this is too much,” she said while holding her wrist. “I will..”
Anders threw the book on her and did not allow her to continue her words.
“Can’t you just give up and do another course? Culinary isn’t for you, Miss Smith,” he said and tapped the book in front of Emily.
