When he walked out of the door she grabbed her robe and put it on, there was something in his eyes and tone of voice when she told him about her date, it was almost as though he was jealous and not to mention he was becoming too possessive of her.
Daphne never liked his new attitude and she thought maybe it is best to end things with him.
********
Throughout the next day Daphne didn’t bother going out, usually she’d go to the spa, shopping and fancy restaurant to have breakfast or lunch whenever Alex make transfer to her after their meeting, instead she stayed indoor curled up on the couch reading a good book with a glass of wine.
Towards evening she checked the clock on her phone only to realize she had twenty minutes more to get prepared for her date with Josh, after showering she picked out a short white dress, it was very sexy and hugged her curves, it was elegant and fitted for the party she was to attend with Josh.
A knock was heard on her door, walking towards to open it she rolled her eyes opening the door to Josh, she remembered she sent him her house address lastnight after Alex left, she gave Josh a forced smile.
He had been pestering her for days to be his date for his boss’s dinner party, so she finally agreed to go to the party with him.
“Daphne wow! You look stunning, here I got this for you”
“It is beautiful” she smiled, collecting the flowers from him, ” come in I will have to put this in a vase before we head out”
She cringed when he came up behind her as she was putting the flower in one of the vase, although they had met few times most especially during the day at the restaurant where he got to tell her to be his date, Daphne thought that certainly doesn’t give Josh the morale to touch her, she quickly set he flower and move away from him with a smile.
Picking up her purse, she move towards the door, she wanted them to leave her apartment quickly not wanting to be no way close to him, Richard is good-looking but Daphne wasn’t attracted to him and she didn’t like his advances towards her, ” we better get going, you don’t want to be late for your boss’s party”
The party was in full swing when they arrive, Josh went and got them both a drink, Daphne was in awe of the beautiful decorations and she noticed everyone was elegantly dressed.
Josh came over and handed her a glass of champagne, ” Daphne do you know the top partner of our company is here?
“Oh really?” Daphne asked after taking a sip of her champagne.
Josh hand curled round her waist when he spoke, ” Oh here he is, Daphne meet Mr Alexander Foster, Mr alex this is Daphne”
Her eyes grew wide when she turned, Daphne swallowed hard trying to find her voice, ” Mmr Foster it’s, uhm… Nice to see you”
“Please call me Alex” he said with a sexy smirk, taking her hand he kissed the back of it.
Alex and Josh exchanged pleasantries as Daphne watched, she couldn’t believe Alex was at the party and wondered if he was stalking her, and Josh hand still on her waist….
“Excuse me, I need some fresh air,” she said, walking towards the patio leaving the two men behind, five minutes later she heard footsteps approaching, she knew it was him, Alexander.
“Are you now running away from me?” He asked, walking slowly towards where she was standing.
“What are you doing here?”
“Mr Montez invited me, since I partner with the company, So Josh is your date? He doesn’t seem like your type though” he turned to look at her, not missing the fact that she was looking sexy in that white short dress, ” I thought whoever that was going to take you on a date was actually going to take you on a real one, not some sort of boss’s dinner party on Thursday evening”
“Whatever” she rolled her eyes at him, she couldn’t miss how devilishly handsome he look in that black suit of his, she was about to walk past him, he grabbed her arm.
“I want to apologise for last night Daphne, the things I said, it was wrong of me to suggest something like that, it is not my intention to make you feel like a kept woman, can you forgive me?”
Daphne found herself backed up against the railing, he had moved so close to he that she could feel his breath on her face, his scent was intoxicating and his hand holding her arm created goosebumps all over her body, ” I guess So”
“Good,” he said, releasing her arm ” …. That Josh guy, surely you are not interested in him, I mean he doesn’t look like your type”
Daphne smiled and turned to him, ” what is my type?”
