” Your bill.” Erica returned with the bill.
” I am not going anywhere if that’s what you want.” I took another bite of cupcake and smiled.
She almost, almost stomped on her feet and clenched her fist. ” Sir, you-”
” Max, call me Max.”
” Mr. Costello, you’re disturbing me on my working hours so I would better ask you to leave.” She spoke in calm tone and held a poker face.
This woman. Is she really this straightforward or there’s some undeniable hate for me?
But Erica, maybe you don’t know but if Max Costello wants something then definitely he gets that and this time I want Erica White.
It will be the first time that I am finding any woman way more worth than being just my bedmate. Now there’s no need to deny that I am having this attraction to her in more than just physical level despite of the fact that am completely oblivious to the reason behind all this.
Let’s see, in which way my curiosity for her takes me.
” I am dropping you home.” I stated.
” Are you insane?” She countered.
I shook my head and stood up.
” I am waiting outside in my car. Just come when your shift ends.” I said and left the café.
***
It’s been an hour and still there’s no sight of her. She will come right? Off course she has to after all who can neglect the offer of Max Costello?
Yeah, right. Like she had neglected you in the café.
I scoffed at my consciousness and just waited impatiently for her to step out of the café.
The sun had already settled down leaving behind the darkness. The street was already vacant with only few people passing by.
Hold the f-ck up. A sudden thought crossed my mind which made me to clench my fist in flaring temper. Erica walks every night from this dangerous street and that too alone?
I pushed my saliva down my throat and purposely shut my eyes for few seconds to calm myself down.
How she can be this careless?
I quickly took out my phone from the pocket and dialed the number of my trusted head of bodyguards.
” Sir.” He greeted as soon as my call ringed.
” I am sending you the details of Erica White. Her safety is your responsibility and make sure that she won’t catch a hint that your bodyguards are following her whenever she’s out of her house.”
” You won’t regret, sir.” He replied.
Again time started speeding off but like past two hours there was no hint of her. My patience started falling off and then I couldn’t help but walk to the café, once again.
That little brunette once again came into my sight but by paying her no attention, my eyes started searching for Erica.
” Where the f-ck is she?” I mumbled to myself when I found the whole café, empty.
” You! Whatever the f-ck your name is-” I was about to complete my sentence before that brunette cut me in middle with her words.
” She left few minutes ago, s-sir from the back door.” She whispered.
My temper flared and next without wasting any single second, I rush to my car.
Erica white. You shouldn’t have done this. You shouldn’t.
