81 Dessert Paradise

"Drive faster, you idiot!" Wayne hit his brother on the back of his head and urged him to increase his speed.

"Will you relax? It's Nana we are talking about. Did you forget that she drives at a snail's pace?" Wade reminded them as he chuckled.

"Yea! I still don't know why she's so scared of driving fast?" Stacy nodded her head and wondered out loud.

"Neither do we sister, neither do we." Wayne shook his head like an old man and this made Stacy giggle.

"She just developed that phobia one day and refused to talk about it to any of us. Only her therapist knows the real reason why she's so terrified of it but he would definitely not tell us about it. Patient-doctor confidentiality crap." Wade huffed angrily.

Wade had tried many things from threatening her doctor to even bribing him but the guy never once disclosed Lina's reason for such a weird phobia.

Soon they caught up with Lina's car driving slowly on the streets. She drove safely adhering to all safety rules and never once went over the speed limit.

Since they could not let her know that she was being stalked, they decided to just drive back to Luo Residence and report back to the big bosses who had sent their minions on this stakeout mission.

They called Butler Ping and asked him to give them a call when Lina reached home safely.

Thus their little mission of keeping an eye on Lina and her crush came to an end after a lot of unpredictable twists and turns.

----

When Lina arrived home, she was greeted by Mrs. and Butler Ping who were waiting for her to reach home safely.

"You guys did not have to stay up this late just for me." Lina pouted when she saw them sitting in the hall and sat next to Mrs. Ping.

"Young Miss we do not have anything better to do at this age and also sleep is hard to find these days." Mrs. Ping smiled and lovingly caressed Lina's hand.

"I could think of something that would make our time pass by quickly and also put you to sleep but you just refused." They heard Butler Ping mutter in a low voice and Mrs. Ping glared daggers at him.

'Your tongue has gotten too long, huh old man! Just wait till I get you alone!' Mrs. Ping conveyed through her eyes.

'That's exactly what I want, Mrs.' He cheekily grinned at her as if he understood what she was trying to say.

'These two can feed me dog food with just their eyes! That's a new type of dog food!' Lina thought and smiled happily.

"I better not bother you two lovebirds!" Lina got up from her seat and went towards the stairs.

As she climbed up, she thought of something and turned back to Butler Ping.

"Don't tire her out like last time. Take little breaks in between." She winked at him and quickly ran away to avoid Mrs. Ping's beratings.

"This girl!" Mrs. Ping pumped her fists in the air and yelled out.

"Come Mrs." He held her from behind and dragged her towards their room.

"We cannot disobey the Young Miss now can we?" He smirked at his wife and shut the door behind himself.

He had already sent a message to Young Master Wade informing him of Young Miss's safe arrival, so he was officially off duty.

Tonight Butler Ping obeyed his Young Miss' orders and gave his Mrs. breaks in between so that she might not get tired too quickly.

'I'm definitely serving her oatmeal tomorrow morning!' Mrs. Ping made her plans for revenge during her very short break time.

She looked at her husband sitting beside her, carefully wiping the sweat from her forehead and she closed her eyes.

Just as she was about to drift away into sleep, she heard her husband's raspy breath close to her ear.

"We are nowhere near done, Mrs. You can't just go to sleep and leave me hanging here." He said as he left a trail of wet kisses through her ears down to the soft spot on her neck.

"We've done it four times already! Let me sleep now!" She cried out and he gently nibbled on her neck which made her let out a deep moan.

"Now this is exactly what I wanted to hear!" He said and started another round with his beloved wife.

'Oatmeal for a week!' Mrs. Ping increased Lina's punishment and then concentrated on her husband's onslaught.

Inside her bedroom, already snuggling underneath the warm comforter in her peach kitten printed jammies, Lina was texting her friend Gwen.

She told her all about her dinner with her new friends and all the fun that she had with them.

She told her about the successful introductions followed by a harmonious dinner. 

She even told Gwen about the guy she has a teeny weeny crush on and how he saved her from crashing into an old man.

They returned to the private room and after the dinner, they fired up the karaoke machine.

"Did you see the duets that I sent?" Lina texted and instantly received a reply. Lina had asked Julia to record them singing on stage.

"Yesss! You rocked it! Who was that guy with you?" Gwen inquired and Lina told her about Leon, her new partner in crime at the office.

She also took tons of pictures with Aya and sent it to Gwen.

"So did that party animal take you out?" She asked and Lina told her about how Aya called her out on the very first day that she had arrived.

"You remember my cousin Stacy, right?" Lina asked.

"Yea, what about her?" Gwen replied.

"Aya kissed her on their first meeting!" She squealed and sent blushing and surprised emojis.

"Woah! Aya sure is fast!" Gwen too was close to Aya as they had met through Lina.

"Finally the main attraction was that chocolate fountain! Did you see that??" Lina was excited when she spoke of this.

"How could I not! You sent me a hundred pictures of it!" Gwen wasn't exaggerating, Lina had taken so many pictures that Stuart Bai had confiscated her phone just so that he might enjoy the dessert in peace.

Lina then sat with him and thoroughly enjoyed the different accompaniments that were given with the chocolate fountain. 

Scones, candy, peanut brittle, marshmallows, cookies, biscotti, mini-pretzels, granola bars, cakes, and even little shot glasses which you could just fill up with the chocolate sauce and drink it as is.

Lina tried everything present on the table but she especially loved the biscotti and the shot glass filled with chocolate.

It was a dessert paradise and everyone loved the last attraction for their welcome party.

"How's that pain in the ass?" Lina inquired after she was done with everything that she had to share with her BFF.

"Nana! That's my boyfriend you are talking about!" Gwen whined and Lina rolled her eyes seeing that text.

"I still think you can do better than that dumdum." Lina message and chuckled.

'Dumdum… That's a nice name for that idiot.' She was satisfied with the new name that she had come up with.

"You know how sad he'll be when he hears this and yet you keep calling him names!" Gwen sent her evil emojis and Lina just kept laughing.

"Babe? Duty calls, I'll text you when I'm done with my schedule. H&K!!" Gwen texted before Lina could reply and she saw that her friend had already gone offline.

"H&K!" Lina replied and closed the messaging app.

H&K was hugs and kisses and Lina had come up with it when they first started texting because she felt too lazy to type the whole thing. 

 But even with the advent of advanced emojis they still kept using the old words that they had gotten used to.

"Better get to sleep if I want to wake up refreshed for tomorrow's early morning meeting." Lina looked at her phone while she slathered hand cream on her hands and elbows.

Tomorrow Obsidia would be sending out the auction invites to its patrons and Wade had planned to meet up to discuss the final touches before the news about LY's new collection broke out.

She set the alarm for an earlier time than usual and closed her eyes.

'I hope they like it!' She smiled and then gradually fell asleep.
