Despite being told all that, Athena's face remained calm and untroubled.
She just kept reminding Tyler over and over again, watching him as he got into the car.
Through the rearview mirror, Tyler could still see her standing there, waiting until the car was too far for him to make her out before she finally turned back.
That woman, she really was persistent.
Tyler shrugged off any further thoughts. If she enjoyed cooking, she could keep doing it here as long as she wanted.
Back in her room, Athena sat down to diligently study the remaining recipes. The house staff watched her with a mix of pity and admiration.
"Ms. Zade," one of them ventured, "perhaps you should take a break. Mr. Thompson isn't coming back tonight."
Everyone had a pretty good idea of what Tyler was up to. It was common knowledge that he often spent nights out.
Athena looked up and smiled at the housekeeper standing in front of her. "No worries, I'm not tired. I'll finish this last dish. Later, if Tyler comes back late, just ask Bennitt if he wants to eat. If Tyler doesn't come home, give me a call."
The housekeeper nodded, still surprised by this determined young woman. Most of the people around Tyler were there for the industry connections. But Athena seemed to be the only one foolish enough to want Tyler's affection.
The housekeeper thought about saying more, but it was clear Athena was too smitten for anyone's words to make a difference.
Back at her own place, Athena whipped up a light meal for herself. During dinner, Wendy Bennitt called to check in.

The readers' comments on the novel: Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja)
Author, would you story about Ryan settling down and another story on Eric regaining his body and memories back from Patrick, and Eric also settling down as I find it so disheartening for him to have gone through what he went through at the research institute, and I'll like for him to get his "golden boy" life back though, not at the detriment of Ian....
When will the author update to finish Beck's story? What about Dylan and Tyler's love lives? Also, I'll like the author to write on Wilma and Elvis ending up together as she was quite persistent in pursuing him. And Shawn's story, Cornelia Sullivan and Omar Casson. Also, a little write-up on Jeff (Ian's assistant) love life, too. Thanks, author for updating....
