Mr billionaire's regret chasing his irresistible wife by Gabby Emmanuel

Chapter 128

Nana Jean.

(ARIELLE'S POV)

"I'll be stepping out now, please ensure that nothing goes wrong in my absence," I said, as I took off my chef apron and hung it on the rail in the kitchen.

I had just finished teaching the chefs a new delicacy and was about to rush off because I had somewhere important to be.

"Don't worry, Arielle. Everything is in control," Rebecca said with a reassuring smile.

I nodded, "thank you," and walked out of the kitchen, heading to my office. Inside, I grabbed my bag, but as I made to leave, a thought struck me and I paused, retreating my steps to the restroom connected to my office.

I stared at myself in the mirror and realized that true to my instincts, some things in my look needed to be straightened. I immediately got to work, straightening my hair, reapplying my lipstick, and spraying perfume. The scent of lavender filled the air, calming my nerves. As I looked up at my now perfect self in the mirror, I nodded and walked out.

In the hallway, as I made for the exit, I bumped into Stephen. Oh, no, I cried inwardly. Now was not the time, I do not have the time to engage him.

"Hey," he greeted, his face lighting up with a smile as we drew closer.

"Oh, hi, Stephen," I replied hastily. "Um, have you been in the kitchen today?"

"No, not yet. Is there a problem?"

"Not really a problem, but you should. Rebecca needs your attention with something." And before he could say a word, I hurried past him, patting his shoulder.

"Go tend to Rebecca," I called out over my shoulder, not slowing down.

I could feel his gaze on my back, but I didn't look back. I had to get out of there before he delayed me further with his chit chat.

I quickened my pace, my heels making funny sounds on the floor as I made way to exit. But just as I stepped out, I bumped into Big Joe.

Oh shit, I cussed, wanting to take another route but he already spotted me and was approaching me now.
