One More Chance by Jaycelle Rodriguez

Chapter 142: Jealous wife

~~~I never lost the love that I had given you with all the things that we have both been through. I never stayed in love before as much as I have stayed in love with you. You never thought the feelings meant for you were true, 'cause every time we're all alone you'd wonder if I really never changed and if I really stayed in love with you~~~

-Lea Salonga-

"Stop it, Lucy!" Luke gave her the most dominant look that made her tail tucked behind her butt. And the moment she shut her mouth, that's the time for me to bark...

"Well, for your information, lady, our coffee shop is open for all the customers who want to buy our products, but we don't force them or anyone to buy, eat, drink, stay nor to enter our store. And as for our menus, we make sure they are in the taste of our customers. And so far, we haven't received any complaints about our food and drinks, it's just from you. And ohh... I can't believe that complaint was really from you, while I saw earlier how you enjoyed the iced Americano we served you that you almost had to sip the ice as well." I ended my speech with a devilish chuckle.

"That's not true!" She exclaimed, but Luke was fast to grab her elbow.

"And one more thing, I didn't insist your 'boss' to set your meetings here, so don't blame me as I have nothing to do with it! You can go out if you want but please pay for your drinks first!" And I raised an eyebrow. I couldn't help it. I also glared at Luke for bringing... or should I say for tolerating his employee.

She was about to say something but Luke already dragged her back to their table.

"Tss! How I wish the ground could open and swallow this woman whole! Argh!" I whispered-yelled, gritting my teeth.

It wasn't even five minutes when Luke reappeared in front of the counter, but unlike earlier, my mood had already changed from excitement to irritation.

"I'm sorry, Sam, for what happened."

I sighed loudly and stared at him.

"Why are you apologizing for someone else's fault?" I asked, straight-face.

"Because she is one of my employees."

"Whether she is your employee or not, you should apologize for her mistake! Let her apologize for what she did!"

"Sam..."

I kept myself busy from scanning the sales on the computer.

"I'll talk to her," I heard him say after a few seconds and I gazed up at him.

"Well, you should be, Mr. Williams, and I hope you don't tolerate such behavior." And those words saddened his expression.

"Sam, please, stop calling me by my last name---"
