"I am sorry Father, I have to leave, I have an important meeting to attend."
"What?""Yes, I would like to be excused." He didn't wait for President Harold to say a word, he walked elegantly out of the building, he had this naughty arrogant aura around him, he was handsome, and his brown tuxedo could tell he had rich taste when it came to fashion. Getting out of the building, Jayden was there, and he walked closer to him."I would have had your head on a plate if you didn't call at the right time." "Sorry!" Jayden said he is his childhood friend and also his assistant. "No need to apologize, it's a good thing, you called, those men were choking me with their stupid matchmaking.""You don't hate love; do you?''"I have no problem with love or women, I just hate the fact that every girl that is matchmake, is always loyal."Jayden laughed at his friend, That stupid thought, apart from the fact that he doesn't like the matchmaking stuff, he hates women who act too loyal in a relationship just because they want to get married, he needed a woman who could stand up to him not stay on his feet and do everything he orders. Jayden could remember one of the girls, his dad tried to matchmake him with, then titter. "Silly, are you still thinking of that girl?" "Of course, how could someone say he like everything I like, what if I like sucking blood?" The car is filled with the laughter of Jayden and Dante, although he is a cold man to the outside world and his friends, he is easygoing. "Where are we going?'"Naughty you, you keep driving without knowing where we are going?" He frowned as Jayden called him naughty, sensing his frown, Jayden raised his hand. "I give up! I heard the Calvin's resort is beautiful, maybe, you could try their beach house resorts, since you need a little relaxation.""Sure! Just mark the map, and then I follow.""As your lordship pleases!" There goes another round of laughter. ***** Barbara had cried out her eyes through the night, and then the next morning, she didn't ask for anything and it was evening already, Ethan is getting worried, Sir Calvin will kill him if he found out that his princess had been sucking for almost two days without anything to eat, he hit on the door. "Who is there?" "Ma Barbara, you should come out, I beg you, you haven't...""Just go on and rest, I told you, I will be fine, don't stand at my door." "Come on, it will not take long before you fall sick, if you continue like this Master Calvin will...'"Fine, just go on, I will be out in thirty minutes, I will be fine.""Promise!""I promise!" Ethan took a few steps from the door, she could hear the sound, she stood up from the bed, she looked at herself, she was looking dejected. Oh Barbara, what is wrong with you? How could you be crying over that loser, he is not worthy of your tears, you are a strong woman, you could fix it, forget him, and move on with your life. She grabbed a note and a pen, not knowing what she was going to write but she just wanted to write, probably to insult Derrick and her sister. "Dear future hubby, these are the things, I want from you, I just want you to be handsome, tall, intelligent, and caring; a CEO; even though you don't have a company, you could CEO my heart you don't have to be a cheat because I hate cheat and my heart has been broken a lot of times, I might die from another heartbreak. I don't want you to be like him, an asshole that could pick just any girl, you should fall in love with just me and not my sister, I am a very humble girl, sorry I lie, far from that, I am stubborn, you shouldn't be arrogant because I could punch your face, I could be naughty but lovely, I like to argue, dragged home my point and calm at same times but I am not that bad to love. Let my present give you breath. Hope you get my letter, signed by your lovely wife." Crazy as it is, her main aim in writing this letter is to send it to Derrick and lay a curse on him but now she is writing something about the kind of man she wants in her life then she pulls the paper into a bottle. She had to unpack since Ethan would not let her be, her eyes were swelling from all the tears she shared, she took her bath, then brushed, slipping into a simple wear, a free long gown. Ethan is about to hit the door when the door is pulled open."I promise I was going to come out, you don't have to hit the door again.""Sorry ma!"'Barbara! That is my name." Ethan bowed, as she swapped the card holding the bottle with one hand, as much as he wanted to ask what was inside the bottle, he knew that it was intruding on her privacy. "Where...""I am fine, I could find my way." She said as she walked away. Dante is walking on his laptop, and Jayden closes it. "Hey, what is it?""I thought you said you wanted to rest, come on, let's explore the place.""Jayden, I have...""I know CEO Dante, all work and no play make Dante a dull CEO.""You something else, let me go see the lovely place, as you picture it, I know you wouldn't let me rest." He wears short jeans and a t-shirt, and he ranges his black hair back as they walk out of the presidential suite, Jayden is a handsome man but Dante is more handsome, every woman could fall in love with him, at her first glance. As Barbara walked to the beachside, she could remember everything that happened the previous day, and soon a hot stream of tears started Falling from her eyes. No Barbara, not again, don't waste your tears on a loser. She is enchanted in her head, she just wants the tears to stop flowing but the more she tries, the harder it becomes for her. You could do this, get a grip on yourself. She is the best consoler of anyone but can't she console herself, it is frustrating to always be the strong girl and always have people to cry on your shoulder. She moves her hand and wipes her face, she sits close to the water, she watches as the wave takes the water from afar closer to her and then again takes it back, she throws the bottle into the water. "I just hope my wish gets granted." Then stand to leave. "You will be fine, yes, you will be fine." She wiped her face, only to get hit by Dante who was busy looking at the beach without concentration. "Hey watch it, you are not blind, are you?" Dante said. 'Did you just say, I am blind?' She fired back at him, not waiting for a reply she picked up again. "You the blind one here, you hit me, the one thing you could have done was to apologize for your sorry ass." "Such an insolent girl.""You are the insolent boy, I wonder the kind of girl that will fall for such an ill-mannered man.""You wouldn't know because you can't be that girl, I am too good for you." "Of course, I am not because she must be more miserable than me.' "You are miserable, I pray your boyfriend cheated on you with your sister." Jayden spit out the water from his mouth in shock, how could Dante say that, although Barbara was having the conversation with him while walking away from him, not even looking at his face, so he didn't notice she was crying, hearing that part, she stands. "Did I hit you where the sun doesn't meet? I must have struck a chord." Dante fired back at her, seeing her stand in motion, he tapped his shoulder that he had done well. "Of course, you did more than that." Her voice was behind him, he wanted to turn, to have the last laugh but there was a punch thrown right on the side of his lips, she ran as she found out that she had hit him. "Hey you wretch'"Fuck off jerk!" She said as she ran into the crowd."Damn, that dopey girl." He held the side of his face, Jayden was forced to laugh when he saw the scar right at the side of his lips. "What's funny?" "Your face, it's very funny, I should have given that girl a handshake for teaching you a lesson." "Really now?" "Of course, why would you tell her that?" She started it, how could she say my girlfriend must be miserable? "Then you have to tell her that, her boyfriend should cheat on her with her sister?" "Yes!""Hell no! Don't you know that is the most painful thing, that could happen to any girl?" "I don't know, I am not some girl." Dante took a few steps, and the wave pushed the bottle right on his feet. "What nonsense is this?" He picked it. "A letter inside a bottle." He wants to open it. "Hey, don't! I am sure, that whoever did this want his or her wish to be granted by God." "Stop being silly, it's humans that could grant this, not some kind of God we don't see." Dante is stubborn, even though Jayden wants him to drop the
"Of course, I will." He enters the car with Dante. "So why did you decide to go home so fast?" "The old man is on my neck again, I just don't know what to do to get him off it." "Get married." "Hell no, I don't want to, I have a lot of things to do than to get tied down with one annoying girl to deal with." "So you don't want to get married?" "Of course, I will, who in this world doesn't want to get married?" "So when...""Jayden, change the topic." "Fine, let's talk about...""Don't talk about that insolent girl because I will kill you before killing her.""I wasn't going to talk about that but you two look good together.""Jayden!" "Fine, I give up, I am not going to ask, good thing, you don't want to punish her." "Who said so?" Jayden looks at him. "Yes, I will punish her badly but for now, she is the least of my worries...""How are...""Next topic?" "The letter?" "What letter?" "Dante, stop asking my questions with yet another question." "And you stop asking me about
"You're right, every young man deserves one, all he just needs is a search..""No need for that, Miss Alicia is very much single and well-mannered, so she is a good option, it will Smooth our friendship and even make our business fly higher." Yes, Harold had hit the nail on the head, Alicia smiled, she was dying to hear that, Dante closed his eyes. This man is annoying him? He just can't believe he is having this conversation with his father. "That will be very nice!" Mr. Lim said Dante moved his eyes to her, for the record, she was beautiful, not like he was in love with any other one, just maybe he could give this one a trial but the very minute, she acted like one of them, he is going to show her the door and that will be final. "Of course, it's nice," Harold said, then continued appreciating the girl in front of them like he had known her all his life, as irritating as the conversation may be, Dante still wanted to act nice and give this one a thought but there goes the naughty
The two girls arrive at the same time, Kathleen's father is a well-known lawyer in the city, he is wealthy and powerful, and the two girls come from a wealthy family. The two almost have the same life, coming from a rich home, having a sister who doesn't love them, and having a cheating boyfriend but the difference is, that Kathleen doesn't believe in love, she believes in having any man she wants while Barbara believes that relationship should be base on love. "Hey, beautiful!" Kathleen said as she approached Barbara grabbing her into the club, the club is very busy, it's a weekend, and it's always like that during the weekend, many people want to have fun from the week's stress. "Hi, handsome!""Silly, I am not a man.""Then stop admiring me, like one." Kathleen laughed at her silly joke, and the two grabbed a seat, as soon as they entered, a couple of boys approached them but Barbara was not in the mood for dancing today, which was her thing "Come on let's dance, are you still
"An Ad for renting a boyfriend.""Yes!" "Are you crazy?" "Nope! This is the best option or do you have another? ""Not really but I can't bring just anyone into the family. What if they are spies or even swindlers?" "Let me be, if you don't want to take my advice then let me enjoy the club." Kathleen stands up from Barbara. "You should go through it while I dance away my sorrow." she walked into the dance floor with one of her numerous crazy dance steps. Although Barbara didn't go through the Ad, she collected the site, just in case there is a need for it but definitely, she is not buying that she is not going to option for one, not now, not in the future but never say never. Barbara lies lazily on her luxurious bed, she is tired from the nightclub, and her Telecom ring, and she struggles to take it. "My lady! The dining is set, Master Calvin is there, and the other members of the family." "Oh please, just tell Dad, I will skip, so tired." "Right away, my lady!" Fiona was in a
Three days after the conversation Kathleen had with Barbara, Barbara didn't give her feedback nor did she contract the agency. And the party is just two days from then, she is busy attending to one of their customers when her phone ping. "Your dress is ready ma Barbara." That was the message, she looked at it and then blinked. "What dress? When did I... Shit! I forgot. Barbara, what have you done?" She forgot about the whole ball, if not that she had gotten that message, she would still not remember. I will have to fix this with what Kathleen suggests. She tries to find it. "Where is it? Shit! Barbara, you deleted it." she realized she deleted it, as soon as she got off the phone with Kathleen. "Shit! I will just call her."At the first ring, Kathleen takes the call. "Kathleen, do you still have that ad?""I thought you were not interested." "Oh please, let me have it." "Didn't you read that, they don't place orders two days before the event?""Shit!" She curses under her breath
"I never knew about that part, so we should put it in part of the curriculum, that all ladies shouldn't fall for the boss." "That will be a good idea, just let the HR know about it, so we don't keep throwing our money on idiots that are supposed to work not flirt.""Dante!" "Just shut up!" Jayden kept quiet, pushing it further would only make the two argue, he walked towards the car as soon as the elevator stopped. "I will drive!" Jayden is aware that Dante loves to drive himself, and the man loves to move at his Pace, even if the drive would have been faster, if it's done by another, he will still think, that it's too slow. The drive there was fast making them arrive on time, as the two walked into the restaurant all eyes were on them. "She is not here, what does she take me for? A jobless man who is ready to play romance as a job." "Dante!" "What now?" He grabbed a sit, making him relax himself, Jayden looked at him. "What now?" "Why did you even wear a jeans and T-shirt?
"She is my worst enemy." "What do you mean by worse enemy?" "The girl at the beach." "Whoa! Did she remember you?" "Nope! She is so crazy, she needs a boyfriend for rent and she thought I was the one, the agency pick for her." "What?" "Yes, she said her name is Chia-Ling." "What did you tell her?" Dante looks at him. "Go on." "What was I supposed to tell her?" "That you are not the one." "Hell no, how do I make her cry for ruining my face?" "Will you stop it, she did nothing to you." "Of course, she did a lot of things and stopped nagging me because She was attending a ball with Calvin's family, I don't know what she had with Calvin's heiress but renting a boyfriend is her only option." "Did she say...""Nope! She didn't say, she is so arrogant and she even said she wanted to buy me what to wear." Jayden laughed at him. "It's not funny." "Of course, claiming to be..." Dante's eyes fall on another young man, who just arrived, he is wearing a white T-shirt and jeans, and
