Chapter 2: Mister Pooh And Miss Beauty
 

Earlier that day at the Herbal Twist Restaurant.

 

Wearing a hat over his head and dark sunglasses to cover his eyes, Kaleb Wright smirked at the sight of the woman who, for him, had the most beautiful espresso-colored eyes. Her straight and long dark brown hair cascaded down her back, and her smile easily brightened up his day.

 

“Hello, Mister Pooh, I see you wearing my favorite character again. What would you like to have?” Said Miss Beauty.

 

“I’ll have the usual hibiscus tea, please. Tha nk you,” Kaleb replied, and behind his dark-shaded glasses, he winked at her. Too bad she could not see it.

 

That was all he knew about her… that she was beautiful.

 

It was weeks ago that he discovered this restaurant and bar, a hidden gem in the heart of Braeton City. They served the best kinds of floral teas, which he had hoped to bring into the Diamond Hotels, the hotel chain belonging to their company.

 

Back then, When Kaleb first spotted the establishment, he was only wearing a polo shirt, and it rained upon his arrival. He found his bodyguard’s favorite Pooh Bear sweatshirt inside his Maybach and put it to good use. Who knew… it would be his new favorite, too?

 

That was how Miss Beauty came to know him as Mister Pooh. They never exchanged names. Both of them just minding their businesses, making friendly conversation as a customer and a server. Besides, Kaleb was not interested in finding a relationship, not just yet. Not when he had a son to consider.

 

Throughout the weeks, however, Kaleb became amazed by Miss Beauty’s kindness. In fact, on his second day of visit, he forgot his wallet in the car and while he promised to return with the payment, Miss Beauty said to him, “Don’t worry about it, Mister Pooh, it’s on the house.”

 

It wasn’t just him, though. He noticed how Miss Beauty was very kind to children. On one occasion, a mother brought her one-year-old baby to the restaurant, and he puked at Miss Beauty’s uniform, but that did not affect her negatively. Instead, she offered to help clean up the baby first.

 

Miss Beauty wasn’t only a beauty on the outside, but inside as well.

 

It was four in the afternoon and Kaleb was taking his afternoon break, an hour away from the company, just to have a sip of the sweet hibiscus tea. As usual, he was admiring the work of Miss Beauty when suddenly, a man called his name, “Mister Wright! Mister Wright!”

 

He instantly frowned, seeing that it was Boris, his son’s bodyguard. He brought Liam with him, too. He was quick to get up, leaving his tea unfinished. He left five dollars on the table and rushed to where they were standing.
