***CHLOE***
We’ve reached here at ARC restaurant and I am feeling nervous. I don’t know how to start a conversation to Denyx and besides one of them in his company might be the suspect of my mom’s death. If Denyx family was involved to that crime I am sure there’s no future for us.
“Sir and ma’am this way please.”
I heard the lady spoke and showed us the way to our room. She opened the door and Denyx extended his hand to signal that I can go first. I walk inside the room followed by Denyx behind me. He pulled a chair for me and I sat down.
“This is the best private room we have here sir and ma’am. You can see outside since the place is made of glasses. But don’t worry it’s all tented and your privacy still with you.” Said the Lady
“Thank you. I think we are good. We will place our order on the menu app.” Denyx spoke
“Surely sir. I’ll leave you two now. When you need an assistance just press the intercom and it will direct you to our staff service.” She said
“Thank you.” Denyx replied
He looked at me and smiled
“Would you like to order now?” He asked
“I think yeah, let’s order starters first.” I smiled
“Great then.” He said
We placed our orders and he poured wines in our wine glasses. He handed me one.
“Cheers for us? I mean our business partnership.”
I took the glass from him and said.
“Cheers for our partnership.”
We took a sip of wine.
“So tell me about you Chloe.”
“What do you want to know about me?”
“Anything that about you.”
“There’s nothing to share about my life Denyx cause nothing special.”
“But I’m sure there is, like where’s your parents and where are they?”
I kept silent for a moment and looked at him.
“I don’t have a mother but my father isn’t with me.”
“Oh! I’m sorry to hear that. I didn’t mean it.”
“It’s okay, I used to it.”
He looked at me straight in my eyes and I felt like the room is so tight for us. I’m feeling uncomfortable the way he look at me. His showing an affection or it just pity. When I am silent again he asked.
“Do you have a boyfriend?”
I laughed with his question.
“Sorry for laughing but I don’t have time even one for that.”
“Seriously?” He laughed too
“Yeah I’m serious. Since my mother died I didn’t get a chance for that. I focus on my studies and taking care of my dad and I lost interest with relationship when I don’t have time for it.”
“Well nothing’s wrong when you try.?”
“Relationship doesn’t workout for me I guess.”
“What if I want to court you?”
I looked at him with surprised. I didn’t expect he’ll be that bold in front of me when he doesn’t know about who really I am. I lowered my head on my food and took a bite.
“Chloe I’m serious. I like you.”
I kept biting my food and kept ignoring him but he reached my left hand and held it. I looked at him again in his eyes and his touch is like an electricity that flows all over my body.
“I’m sorry if I startled you but I’m telling you what I’m feeling. I’ve never been felt this way until I met you.”
He looked at me straight in my eyes as well.
“Please say something Chloe?”
“I don’t know Denyx. As I told you I’m busy and I don’t have to for this. It will be unfair with you.” I pulled back my hand
“Why are you holding back? I will be patiently waiting for you until you’ll be ready if that’s what you want.”
I took a deep breath and bite my lower lip.
“Chloe it’s your chance to play this game and figure it out what this man really up to. Give him a chance for the sake of digging the truth.” I talk to my mind.
I need to dig the truth behind my mom’s death and I need this man.
“Okay, I will give you a chance to prove your self.” I told him. His eyes sparkled with happiness and excitement.
“Really? You mean your willing to try?”
I nodded my head and blushed
“Thank you Chloe.” He grinned.
I just shrugged my shoulder.
***Denyx***
As we entered the restaurant the staff approached us
“Sir and ma’am this way please.”
And she showed us the way to our room. She opened the door and I extended my hand to signal that Chloe will go first. She walked inside the room followed by me behind her. I pulled a chair for he and she sat down then I settled myself in front of her.
“This is the best private room we have here sir and ma’am. You can see outside since the place is made of glasses. But don’t worry it’s all tented and your privacy still with you.” Said the staff
“Thank you. I think we are good. We will place our order on the menu app.” I spoke
“Surely sir. I’ll leave you two now. When you need an assistance just press the intercom and it will direct you to our staff service.” She said
“Thank you.” I replied
I looked at her and smiled
“Would you like to order now?” I asked
“I think yeah, let’s order starters first.” She smiled
“Great then.” I said
We placed our orders and I poured wines in our wine glasses. I handed her one of the glass
“Cheers for us? I mean our business partnership.”
She took the glass from me and said.
“Cheers for our partnership.”
We took a sip of wine.
“So tell me about you Chloe.” I asked
“What do you want to know about me?” She replied
“Anything that about you.”
“There’s nothing to share about my life Denyx cause nothing special.”
“But I’m sure there is, like where’s your parents and where are they?” Asked again
She kept silent for a moment and looked at me.
“I don’t have a mother but my father isn’t with me.” She explained
“Oh! I’m sorry to hear that. I didn’t mean it.” I sad feeling guilty asking her about her family.
“It’s okay, I used to it.” She shrugged
I looked at her straight in her eyes and my heart is beating fast again and I know I like her. When again she kept her silence I asked.
“Do you have a boyfriend?”
She laughed with my question.
“Sorry for laughing but I don’t have time even one for that.” She said
“Seriously?” I laughed too but it’s a happiness that I don’t have a rivals.
“Yeah I’m serious. Since my mother died I didn’t get a chance for that. I focus on my studies and taking care of my dad and I lost interest with relationship when I don’t have time for it.” She said
“Well nothing’s wrong when you try?” I asked
“Relationship doesn’t workout for me I guess.” She replied
“What if I want to court you?”
She looked at me with surprised. She didn’t expect me to ask her this. She lowered her head on her food and took a bite.
“Chloe I’m serious. I like you.” I told her
She kept biting her food and kept ignoring me but I reached her left hand and held it. She looked at me again in my eyes and I know the touch and feeling her skin is unexplainable. I wanted to touch her face and kiss her sweet lips but I know I have to wait and be patient with her.
“I’m sorry if I startled you but I’m telling you what I’m feeling. I’ve never been felt this way until I met you.”
I looked at her straight in her eyes.
“Please say something Chloe?”
“I don’t know Denyx. As I told you I’m busy and I don’t have time for this. It will be unfair with you.” She pulled back her hand.
“Why are you holding back? I will be patiently waiting for you until you’ll be ready if that’s what you want.”
She took a deep breath and bite her lower lip. She doesn’t have any idea how hot she is by doing this seductive acts.
She was silent for some time again. I know she’s thinking what to say.
Then suddenly she spoke.
“Okay, I will give you a chance to prove your self.” She told me. My eyes sparkled with happiness and excitement. I am very happy and wanted to hold her in my arms but I calmed myself.
“Really? You mean your willing to try?” I asked
She nodded her head and blushed.
“Thank you Chloe.” I grinned.
She just shrugged her shoulders.
We ate silently when her phone rang. She looked at me and smiled
“Won’t you mind if I pick up the call?” She asked.
“Not at all… Go ahead.” I said
“Thank you.” She said
And she answered the call.
“Hello dad. Yes, I’m doing good. I’m having a dinner outside. Can I call you back later? Okay dad thank you. Bye!” She ended the call
“Sorry for that, my dad called.” She smiled
“That’s okay I completely understand.” I smiled too.
“I’m going back to my unit at Lawrence Apartment tonight and I’m thinking if you can go with me as we stayed in the same floor.” I asked
“No need, my driver is with me, I don’t want to be a burden to you.” She replied
“Of course not Chloe you have to trust me. I’m not going to something happen to you.”
“Are you sure it won’t bother you?”she asked.
“Not at all.” I assured.
“Let me call my driver to go ahead first.” She said
“Sure!” I said.
So she did call her driver to go first. After sometimes we decide to left the restaurant. We both walk to my car. I opened the door for her at the front seat next to the driver seat.
“I’ll be driving because I told Alex to go home first.” I told her.
“Okay, Thank you.” She said while buckling her seatbelt. I closed the car door where she was sitting and I walked to the other side of my car and open the driver door. I sat next to her. After I buckled my seatbelt I started the car and drove us back to Lawrence building A apartment which I owned the place. She doesn’t know of course.
“Thank you for the sumptuous dinner tonight.” She said.
“You’re welcome and I hope you enjoyed.” I said
“I do.” She replied
“Great then and I hope we can go out again soon.” I told her.
“I’ll let you know once I can fit it in on my schedule.” She smiled
“Hope you will otherwise I will bring lunch in your office.” I teased her.
She shake her head and smiled.
After awhile we’d reached the apartment.
