Chapter 18
Married To My Dearest Enemy by Jared Mandel
Chapter
When Audrey was halfway through playing the piano, a loud round of applause. sounded around her. It was deafening.
When she finished playing the song, she stood up and bowed slightly to the crowd. âHope youâve enjoyed it.â
Audrey might have said those words after she bowed, but she looked at Amelia and then Tyler when she said those words.
The round of applause just now was enough to prove that she was better than Amelia. Her actions just now had the effect of hitting two birds with one stone.
She had replied to Ameliaâs words with her actions and shut Tylerâs mouth.
Tyler kept an indifferent face as he looked at Audrey and said, âItâs alright.â
However, he then suddenly added, âBut itâs better than the beginnerâs song just now â
His words didnât sound like a compliment, but somehow, when Audrey heard those. words, her heart skipped a beat. She felt like she was complimented by her piano tutor back when she just began learning how to play the piano. She felt quite happy.
âTyler, why are you here?â When Amelia saw Tyler, she had no time for Audrey anymore. She quickly walked up to Tyler. âWeâre just about to go and eat. How about you join us?â
Tyler took a step back and kept his distance from Amelia. He then looked at Audrey from the corners of his eyes and just happened to lock gazes with her.
His l*ps curved into a smile. âItâs not very convenient. I have an appointment with someone else today.â
When Amelia saw Tyler smile, she thought he was smiling at her. She then said in a soft voice, âThen⦠how about another day? Let me treat you to a meal some other day.â
âWeâll see when the time comes,â said Tyler as he looked away from Audrey and turned.
to leave.
Grace reached out and pulled the hem of Audreyâs clothes. She then whispered, âAudrey, Audrey, heâs gorgeous!â
Audrey rolled her eyes. âIâll buy you a set of glasses when I get my wage.â
Grace felt puzzled. âDonât you think heâs gorgeous?â
âNo! Not at all!â

What Audrey didnât know was that Tyler had heard every single word she had just said.
Amelia saw that Tyler had left, and the shy look on her face disappeared instantly. She turned and looked at Audrey. âTyler said you were alright, so donât get full of yourself.
âWell, at least Iâm better than some beginner.
Amelia was at a loss for words for a moment. She snorted, walked forward, and leaned towards Audrey. âI can make you lose your previous job, so I can make you lose this one as well.â
Audrey locked gazes with Amelia. âYouâre quite capable then, but I can get a third or even a fourth job. Are you the most powerful person in Willowdale?â
âLetâs see if I am then.â
After saving those words. Amelia left with her two useless friends.
âWhoâs this, Audrey? Sheâs so arrogant!â Grace asked in a low voice.
Audrey smiled. âSheâs just a clown who likes to show off, thatâs all.â
When it was time to get off work, Gary sent Audrey the address of the dorm that Tyler had arranged.
Audrey looked at the address and left the store.
The distance wasnât very far away from the store. The dorm wasnât too far away from the store. It was about a 10âminute walk.
âWhatâs this? Are you leaving home? As soon as Audrey walked out of the elevator, at sarcastic voice sounded. âArenât you a little old for this?â
Audrey took a deep breath, turned around, and looked at the person who spoke. âWhy are you still here? Donât you have an appointment with someone? Shouldnât you be on your way?â
Tyler lifted his leg and walked forward. The person I have an appointment with had just gotten off work. Iâve been waiting for ages.â
That said, he reached out and took the suitcase from Audreyâs hand. âWhere are you going? Iâll give you a lift.â
âWeâre not going in the same direction!â Audrey wanted to take her suitcase back, but the man avoided her hand with ease. âDo you know where Iâm going? Why are you so.
weâre not going in the same direction?â
âWeâre not going in the same direction. Give me back my suitcase.â

Tyler passed the suitcase to David and then reached out to grab Audrey. âI havenât even had lunch yet. Iâve been starving whilst waiting for you. Letâs go eat first.â
âWait, why are you waiting for me?â Audrey wanted to pull her hand out of the manâs grip. âDidnât you say you have an appointment with someone? What are you grabbing me for?â
âWhy do you care so much about who I have an appointment with?â Tyler suddenly stopped dead in his tracks and looked at Audrey seriously. âAudrey, are you starting to have feelings for me?â
Audrey acted as if Tyler had guessed what she was thinking and asked, âTyler, have you been drinking lately?â
Tyler smiled. âI havenât drank alcohol today.â
Audrey was rendered speechless.
Audrey was pushed into the car by Tyler in the end.
âWhat do you want to eat?â Tyler leaned against the back of the seat and looked at Audrey. âSavory Bites has a new chef today. Do you want to have a taste?â
Audrey stared at Tyler for a while. She suddenly leaned towards him. âTyler Russell.â
Due to the sudden closing in of Audrey, Tylerâs b*dy froze, and his Adamâs apple. bobbed up and down. âHuh?
âDonât tell me youâre beginning to have feelings for me?â
Tylerâs heart skipped a beat. He then reached out to push Audrey away. âItâs not dark yet. What the hell are you talking about? Wake up!â
âWhy were you nervous just now?â Audrey continued to ask.
âNervous?â Tyler sniffed his nose slightly. âWhy would I be nervous in front of you?
âYouâre not? I just heard your heartbeat just now. It was thumping wildly. Your heartâs racing. Are you sure youâre not nerâ¦â
Tyler covered Audreyâs mouth with his hand. âShut up! Youâre too noisy!â
Audrey glared at him and suddenly licked her l*ps mischievously. She also intentionally touched the palm of the manâs hand with the tip of her tongue.
Tyler immediately felt like she had been electrocuted and pulled his hand back. âWhat the hell are you doing?

Audrey looked at his reaction and said lazily, âWhat are you doing? Whatâs the big deal?â
Tyler was rendered speechless.
Everything suddenly became quiet inside the car.
Tyler looked at the person sitting beside him through the reflection in the window. The hand that had covered Audreyâs mouth was burning and even shaking a little.
Audrey wasnât doing any better, either. When Tyler pulled his hand back, she wanted to bite her tongue off.
David didnât dare to speak either. When he looked at the back through the rearview. mirror the third time, Tyler asked, âWhat are you looking at?â
David coughed slightly. âAre we going to the Savory Bites, Mr. Russell?â
Tyler didnât give David a reply immediately. Instead, he looked at the person sitting
next to him.
Audrey was still lost in her mysterious actions just now, and she then remembered the day when Tyler k*ssed her. This caused her ears to turn red.
Tyler looked at Audreyâs red ears and couldnât help but lean in and pinch them. âWhat are you thinking about that makes you blush?â
Audrey was startled by Tylerâs sudden words. She quickly turned around, and her l*ps skimmed Tylerâs face.
The two of them froze at the same time, and neither of them moved.
In the end, Audrey was the first to lean back and say, âWhy are you so close to me? And you say youâre not having feelings for me? Let me make myself clear. Youâre not my type.â
