Chapter 406 - Hope, teach me how to make apple pie. My lover loves it
"OK report me back" Enrick said and cut the call.
It is almost late evening and Hope knocked his office door.
"Boss, the emergency cases have been taken care of. We are free to go" she said.
Rick nodded his head. The one thing he admire most in her is that she never mix her professional life with work.
If it is any other woman, they might have surely bragged about their closeness. Though they are neighbors no one knew this except for their medical team.
He knew that he will never regret his decision to welcome her into his life but only if she will not face any problems and danger because of the other side of his life.
As they both exited the hospital, many envious eyes followed their moments like a hawk. The director of their hospital is going out together with a mere surgeon.
"Boss, you will drive or should I?" Hope asked.
"Unfortunately" his car tires got punctured at the morning that he didn"t have any other option but to ask Hope for the lift.
"You drive" Rick said and sat in the pa.s.senger seat.
Hope sighed and nodded her head before starting the car.
"Boss, Which dish do you want me to teach you cooking today." Hope asked almost gritting her teeth.
This idiot sitting in her car has asked her to teach how to cook "favorite" dishes of his soon to be "Wife". So that he can cook for her when they will start living together.
He don"t know how her heart is getting squeezed by it. But this "heartless" fellow never acknowledged her love for him.
Enrick chuckled, he started loving this jealous version of Hope. She fooled him enough with her tricky words and now it is his turn.
"Hope, can you teach me how to make apple pie. She love it" Rick said dreamily.
Hope almost sobbed seeing his love stuck expression. "Apple pie, yuck I hate it. This woman surely have bad taste.Wuwuwu…boss can"t you love me. I have very good taste and moreover I can cook for myself" she sobbed again.
"Sure boss. I will" her face darkened with jealous.
"Hope why are you calling me boss. Didn"t we decide to be friends….can"t you call me Rick" he provoked her even more.
"No boss. You already have girlfriend and she might not like it" Hope smiled weakly.
"No Hope. She is very understanding and moreover we are just friends….what is there to misunderstand" he smirked at the extremly jealous Hope.
He can smell the vinegar all around her like a Wi-Fi. However he will be proposing her tomorrow and what is there to loss if he tease her more.
"Yeah ..yeah nothing more boss." She said and Enrick smirked internally. How cute she looked like this….he wanted to kiss that pouting lips but he knew he should wait till tomorrow.
"Hope, she will be coming to our hospital tomorrow and I want you to meet her" he rubbed salt on her wounded heart.
"Why boss. I am nothing but a friend right. What"s so special about me" Hope mocked.
Enrick couldn"t help but feel an urge to pinch her cheek. She looked too adorable….
"But you are the only friend I have in my professional life besides Jeff." He said and instantly her face brightened.
"Just endure this sweet torture for one day, love. I will be yours" he thought and alighted the car.
Hope pouted her lips. Tears welled up in her eyes and if Rick would have seen it he might have cleared everything then and there itself.
...
Rick freshened up and is about to go to Hope"s house when his elite team leader called.
"Sir, Ms. Grey ordered her team to go to city S. She found some loose ends about Johann just a few moments back and they are already in move" he said.
Rick sighed. Jean is not having her team to protect her now. How can she be like this…
Moreover when she is having a doubt that she might be pregnant. Can"t she be cautious…she always make him worried.
But he can"t blame her because she never knew it.
"You take your team and look after Jean till her team come back. Be attentive….." Enrick ordered.
"Sir, what about you" his subordinate can"t help but worry.
"Five members will be enough for me. Ask them to secure Paradise hotel"s premises till tomorrow evening." He said.
It is where he decided to propose Hope and he don"t want anything to happen to her…
"Also, before you all go, make sure that you alert hotel"s staff. I want it to be tight with their security…..no one except staff should enter it after five at evening" Enrick said and ended the call.
After making sure that Hope will be safe with him tomorrow, he grinned as he entered her condo with some outfits.
He wanted her suggestion to select his dress for tomorrow.
...…
"Sir, as you planned your nephew"s team will not follow him tomorrow. We have our plan all set" Johann called Jaxon and said.
"Good, don"t forget…we are just trying to scare him" Jaxon laughed and ended the call.
Johann faked the incident so Jean will send her team to city S searching for one of his main subordinate. She will succeed in capturing his man but he don"t care. Because he is using him as bait to distract Jean and Enrick.
No one knew that Mr. Wright(the second young master of Braxton) is backing him up. According to everyone he is banished by Braxton"s.
As the council is reason for it he is trying to have his revenge. That is the story known to others but who would have thought that he is the secret weapon of second young master of Braxton"s.
With his power and support from Braxton"s he is almost invincible. He will not rest till he revenge his first master.
