Chereads / Married to Santa's son / Chapter 21 - You'll regret this

Chapter 21 - You'll regret this

"Jeremy! come here my boy"Mr Yellow, Hazel's dad and the driver he was working for called him towards a table where roasted turkey, waffles, cookies perfectly decorated and gingerbread men laying across the table. "Is the food okay?" Jeremy questioned fearing he made a mistake while baking. "Not a single hitch haha" Mr Yellow responded with a light laugh "Hazel and I want you to join us for this lovely Christmas dinner you prepared for us" Jeremy glared at Hazel knowing she was the mastermind but joined since he was starving. "Let's dig in!" Hazel exclaimed, excited that he didn't reject it. The atmosphere was a jolly one that they all ate to their fill. The time to unwrap presents had arrived and to Jeremy's surprise, he got a gift. This made him  feel indebted to Mr Yellow; it was an Android phone. He embraced his boss tightly as a form of thank you and smiled at Hazel and in turn she mouthed a 'you're welcome'. After all this, Jeremy felt home sick even if he wouldn't want to admit it, he missed his old man. He also wondered how Nikita was spending her Christmas hoping she would spend it with Eleanor or any of her relatives. "I have a phone , I can check her up"he thought as he hurriedly picked his phone straight to stargram.

"Login?... what's my damn password....is zendie...no...aha..kookieclaus" As his stargram profile loaded, "four followers sigh somethings never change" 

He keyyed into the search button 'Nikki' and found a bunch of girls who look nothing like the one he knew.

  "Hazel..hazel..ha"

"What?!"

"Shh!! keep it down, I just want to ask you something"

"What is it?" 

" What's your hubby's stargram handle?"

"Seriously you woke me up in the middle of the night just to ask me that. I hope you're not gay or smn"

"I'm not...thanks goodnight"

Never in his life has he been this happy when he discovered something he was looking for.

'1k followers hmmm like she deserves it. Santa'sgirl_004 weird name's Jeremy said to himself as he stretched before jumping happily on his bed.

      "Sis how could you say that in front of everyone? I know it's one of your cover-ups but still..." Eleanor busted out as she entered their room. The family meeting had been postponed to the day after boxing day. Nikita tried to look calm but Eleanor saw right through her. "Do you even know what's going to be the consequence.." "I know" Nikita interrupted "and I'm going to take full responsibility for it okay?"  "This is crazy sis" "You don't need to emphasise. I just wish I could find a guy who would cooperate "

*beep beep* Nikita got a notification on her phone; it was a message but she wasn't in the mood to check it.

"You have a message it could be important "

"okay fine"

Nikita lazily opened the message. Big shocker it was from an entertainment agency <⁠(⁠ ̄⁠︶⁠ ̄⁠)⁠>

"Ah!!!" Shock and excitement overwhelmed her 

Eleanor stared at her confused as her sister happily jumped around the room. She then question her and hearing her reason for being happy she congratulated her.

Then another DM popped up but she didn't bother to check because she had tons of those already.

Meanwhile, Alvin's visit to his parents was something else as they took him by surprise by inviting a guest and it was no one other than Evelyn .

"Hey there handsome " She greeted as she stepped into the house. Alvin stood there frozen as he was taken aback by her appearance.

"What are you doing here?" He asked as he grabbed her by the wrist. "Hands off me... your parents invited me for dinner"

"Darn it! Christmas of all times and how do they know you or did you stalk and told them about the incident?".  "That's a great idea I'll do just that" sje grinned as she walked past him back into the house.

"Hey I was still talking! heyy!!!...Hi dad"

"oh my son, I guess you've already met our guest . This is Evelyn our investor's daughter. She's joining us for dinner since her parents aren't around" Alvin's dad explained as they sat down around the dining table. Alvin was fuming inwardly. All efforts by his dad to creat a conversation that will involve both of them was futile as Alvin refused to budge even a little bit. Evelyn tried to be nice by helping him to carry the plates to the kitchen but the plates ended flying and crashing to the floor. "What's your problem? Did  you  not get see your help wasn't needed?!" He exclaimed. His father called out to him but he turn a deaf ear to it. "It's alright sir. I shouldn't have come here in the first place I'm sorry" Evelyn said as she bent down to pick the shattered pieces of the plates. "Oh no Evelyn,If only the maids were around you won't have to their job" To Evelyn, this statement was more of an insult than that of pity. With all these emotions bottled up, she couldn't concentrate but a slight cut on her finger bought her back to reality.

Mr Gary called out to his son who didn't respond but after his name was yelled the third time he came out sluggishly. "Help her with her injury" His father said in a commanding voice then left them alone.

Inwardly Evelyn grinned as this scene unfolded before her eyes so she was expecting something possible from her fantasy to be true that instant but instead the  uninterested Alvin juts sat in front of her staring making her uncomfortable. 

"UHM.. aren't you going to help me out my finger might swell" She said trying her best to look pitiful as she stared at her cut. "Don't be stupid girl. A cut doesn't cause any form of swelling, God you're annoying" He snapped at her.

"You don't have to be so rude all the time!" She snapped back. "Why won't I be rude you're like a leech in my skin" He exclaimed with a bit of anger in his voice.

At this point, Evelyn felt downcast at being compared to a leech so she picked her bag and coat, walking to the door like she read his mind to do so. As she was about to press the door knob she said without to look at the subject

"I'll make sure you regret this Alvin Gary"
