Chapter 20_ The Clash Of Two Rivals
Arya had a small frown on her face when she stepped out of her car.
Her restaurant that was meant to be closed down was currently filled up with some people..
Immediately the media sighted her, they rushed to her and surrounded her like a swarm of bees..
Her few guards did their best to protect her, she failed to understand what was going on, her eyes blinked continuously as it was blinded by the flashing lights from their cameras..
“Ma’am is it true that you’re responsible for what happened to Miss Vanessa Gilbert?”
“Ma’am what can you say in your defense to Arya’s delight closure?”
“Ma’am is it true that Mr Martin Anderson is your secret boyfriend?”
Arya placed both hands against her ears, their questions were really off point and headless..
Noticing how uncomfortable their Mrs was, they paved a way for her leading into the restaurant..
When she got in she was surprised to see Martin Anderson, the guy who saved her a day ago..
Martin had a roguish grin on his lips when he saw her coming in..
“We meet again”
Arya rolled her eyes “What is going on out there? and… just tell me everything!”
Martins faced one of his guards and nodded to him..
He walked to Arya and pulled out a seat for her and guided her to seat..
“I’m waiting”
Martin cleared his throat and took a seat opposite her..
“I know how much you fought for this piece of land, and I don’t wanna let that go in vain.. so I’m gonna help you out one more time”
Arya chuckled, does he have any idea how much this was taken? any moment the health inspector might show up and close this place down for good..
“That’s not possible Mr Anderson”
Martin smirked “I’m not sure you know this but the word IMPOSSIBLE is a forbidden word in the Anderson’s”
Arya massaged her thighs, that explains their inhumane behaviors..
“So how are you going to fix this?”
Martin clapped his hands and several of her employees emerged from the kitchen including Chloe with a tray of food in their hands…
Her mouth dropped in shock, he involved all her employees and she was the last to know..
Martin nodded to his guards and the door was opened for the media to come in..
They rushed in and surrounded them in seconds taking and pictures and throwing questions at the same time..
“Mr Anderson you are well aware of the fact that Arya’s delight was accused of feeding people undercooked meals are you going to take that risk?”
Martin’s gaze averted to Arya, he could see how uncomfortable she was with them around..
He picked his fork and knife and cut the beef in small pieces before taking a bite..
“Tell us Mr Anderson! do you feel uncomfortable? are you feeling nauseous?”
Martin ignored their questions and took another bite, and another and a few more which left the reporters perplexed..
“Wow! it was great! I don’t think anything is wrong with the food” Martin replied honestly..
Arya flashed him a smile, she snapped her gaze to Chloe..”When?…
“Before you say anything Arya.. remember this is a live scene don’t make me turn red in embarrassment”
“Mr Kyle Anderson!”

Joyce stroked her daughter’s hair gently, her eyes were already red due to continuous crying..
She has been in the hospital for some days now after Kyle instructed his female guards to beat her up..
“Mum I’ll be fine quit worrying so much”
Joyce wiped her tears “it’s been days and you haven’t recovered fully yet”
Vivian touched her mum’s hands “This isn’t the time for crying mum! it’s time for revenge! Arya and her husband has awaken the beast within me!”
Joyce snorted at the mention of their names, they really deserve to be together with their evil ways..
“I should have thrown her out the very first day Samson brought her home”
Vivian sat up from her bed as if recalling something “Mum! how could we forget about him so easily? he we haven’t fed him for days.. If he dies there’s no hope anymore for us”
Joyce sprang up to her feet when she heard what her daughter just said..
That was true, it completely escaped her mind, if her husband dies everything will be ruined for them..
Samson was her jackpot, he has always been ever since she laid her eyes on him years ago, she was overjoyed when he finally showed an interest in her after his wife died..

Arya stood up hurriedly when the reporters all surrounded Kyle who just appeared with his own guards..
Arya was astonished and speechless, what on earth could he be doing here? she hoped he won’t ruin what Martin has planned out..
Martin dropped his cutlery and stood up also, the two men sent deadly glares to themselves while Arya stood in their middle..
Chloe leaned towards Arya’s ear and whispered softly..
“I don’t think this will end well”
Arya swallowed and forced a smile at Kyle “Mr Anderson what brings you here?”
Kyle walked past her while he ignored the reporters questions..
He took the seat Arya was sitting on earlier and stared down at the variety of dishes..
“If he can be here, why can’t I?”
Martin took his seat back and snorted, he had predicted that Kyle would show up and he wasn’t the least surprised about it..
He picked up his fork and was surprised when the tray was drawn back by Kyle..
Kyle snatched the fork from martins and had a bite from the already cut beef..
Martin raised a brow at his rudeness and suddenly drew back the tray to it’s original position..
Everyone watched this go back and forth for a while before Chloe suddenly blurted out..
“Oh wow! the two big shot of the city are currently fighting for a plate of food in Arya’s delight!”
The reporters murmured among themselves and started clicking and flashing their cameras at the two men currently fighting over a plate of food..
“As we all can see here the city’s most affluent family’s sons fighting over a plate of food at Arya’s delight, this questions if this place really needs to shut down or continue it’s services”
Kyle and Martin’s grip on the tray tightened, “Let it go! this doesn’t concern you one bit martins don’t try to be the good guy here”
Martin chuckled “And you? no one asked you to be a hero! I was here first and this was served per my orders”Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
“Well this restaurant doesn’t belong to you, don’t embarrass yourself out here young man”
“don’t forget you’re live guys.. this isn’t a good idea” Arya said in a lowered tone..
“Tell him to let go!” The two said at the same time..
Not quite long hurried footsteps were heard, which sounded like a stampede..
An uproar started outside between the guards and the crowd of people who just got there..
Chloe’s smile widened, she understood what this men were up to even though they were currently mad at each other over a plate of meal…
“See that Kyle! that’s what my charming looks can do, my fans are all out there waiting for me, this has always been about me.. so I think you should leave now!”
Kyle smirked and nodded to his guards and the door was pushed open and within seconds the whole seat were filled up..
Arya had a big smile on her face “Arya’s delight is back in business!”
“I haven’t decided that yet!”
Everyone snapped their gaze to the middle aged man who just came in..
“The health inspector” Chloe whispered beneath her breath..
Arya walked to him “Please don’t shut down this restaurant, as you can see two well known celebrities are fighting over a plate of meal over here”.
The man hummed in reply “I can see that we’ll Mrs Carter but the health authorities has requested me to shut down this restaurant as its food is currently bad for the health..
“Nonsense!” Kyle declared and stood up with the plate of food..
He walked towards the man and shove down a spoon into his mouth..
“Now let me see you shut this place down!”
The health inspector swallowed hard and adjusted his glasses, he really didn’t want to get on mr Anderson’s bad side even though he has been paid a lot to shut this place down..
“Mr Anderson I..
“You wouldn’t dare!”
