"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 bottle, he refuses to drop it. "Come on, I can't believe that naughty girl made me have bruises." He pushed the door with anger, as he entered into the presidential suite, Jayden looked at him. "Stop staring at me, I need to get that stupid girl.""To do what?" "What do I have to do with her?" Except to make her more miserable for ruining my handsome face"Who told you, you are handsome?" "I am not blind, I could see with my eyes, so back off." He used the antiseptic to care for the injury at the side of his lips, seeing the scar he sighed badly. "Can you stop? Is not like it will remain there forever." "I could only stop when I made that jerk pay for this." "You getting naughty by the day, let's see what is in there." "In where?" "The letter in the bottle." "Jayden, you should go to your suite, you getting more annoying than the girl." "I hope you read and fulfilled it since you are now God." "Of course, I will." As arrogant as Dante, he still jokes around, he pushes the door behind Jayden as the young man goes out, the evening had been spoiled for him by that jerk of a girl, and he is still thinking of what to do with the girl, when his phone ring, is from his dad. "Not now, father, I just don't want your nag." He pressed the end bottom but the man did not take that for an answer, he called again and again. "Father!" "Don't you want to take the call?" "Sorry, I was busy." "Where are you?" "Out of the villa." "I know, where...""Father, not now, I am busy." As much as he tries not to sound rude, his voice always betrayed him, especially now that he is mad because of that naughty girl"Fine, you should come home." "Whoa! Did you miss me that much? Or Is it that you love to see my face?" His humor is annoying Harold, he could feel it but he is not going to stop, he just wants his father to get mad and then switch off the phone but Harold is not going to let him win this time."Dante, stop with your jest, it's annoying." Harold is getting irritated but if he gets mad, he is not going to drive home his point. "I am not Father." "Then fine, you should read your mail and stop putting my call on hold." "Father, just tell me, I don't have the time to go do that.' Harold pinned his lips together, to hit Dante was in his mind but that was not possible, the boy was far from him. "Father, are you...""I will be having a meeting with Lim by tomorrow, I would love for you to attend, he will be coming with his daughter, Miss Alicia Lim, and you two can get to know each other while we discuss business." This old man is daring him, he should know anything like this, piss him and he is still pushing it. "Sorry Dad, I will be...""Dante, you should know that your imprudent smells bad that I always get choked with it and my patient is running out by the day." Dante is aware that the old man has reached his limit and is waiting for him to end the call but hell no, he is not doing that, the usual way for him to annoy him, and then Harold will always end the call in anger. "You do not have a choice, you should be back at the villa by tomorrow, we are having the meeting here while hosting the family at noon" 'But...'"No, but, you should be here, this is part of taking the business to the next level.'"Fine, I will." He said at the end just to end the conversation, he is more irritated now than after the incident with the girl earlier. *****'Miss Barbara! Young mistress!" Ethan called as he saw Barbara running very fast. "I am fine!" She said as she ran into the suites. She had finally got home, still irritated at the incident, she felt like going back to give him another scar, she was burning in anger, she fell on the bed and gasped for air, her phone rang! She had so many missed calls, none she was interested in taking, just when she was about to switch the phone off. Kathleen's call comes up, she wipes her tears, she needs to be calm, if not, Kathleen will flame up. "Hey, Kathleen!" Barbara called her friend first before she could speak. "Sorry, I haven't been taking your calls." "And where thou hell have you been? That made you ignore my call.' "I just told you, I am sorry." Her voice was low, which was unlike her. "What did that jerk of Derrick do to you?" "What?" She tries to compose herself"Yes, what did he do to you?" "He did nothing, I am just annoyed by one jerk of a boy, he hit me but still think I am at fault but not too worried, I send a punch across his face, he should be nursing it by now.""Where did you meet him?" "At the beach house, he is so annoying." "Why did you go there?" "Not that!" She said like a whisper, she had come up with that, so she could stop her friend from asking more questions but that didn't work for Kathleen, she knew something was wrong, they were supposed to meet at the Cafe shop but Barbara didn't show up and now, she is at the beach house sounding all cold but she is not fine. "Go on! And I am not going to take nothing for an answer." She breathed out. "We break up." She finally dropped the bombshell. "What?" Kathleen yelled. "Did we even break up, that jerk cheated on me with that naughty sister of mine and the two are shameless, I caught them in the act but they felt no remorse, they are still kissing in front of me." She broke down again in another round of tears, Kathleen felt bad, that she had pushed it, she would just let the sleeping dog lie. "That is enough, you should stop crying, do you want me to...""No need, I will be back home, tomorrow, Dad texted that he is coming back soon, instead of the weekend, I can do this, I was just a fool to think he loved me but then it's a good thing, we break up, you know me, I will be fine, in a few days." "That bastard!" "It's fine, I will call you when I get to town." "Bye then, you should take care of yourself." She breathed out, and as soon as the line died off, she nodded again reassuring herself that she could do it. The next morning, Dante grooms himself like a man going to have his marriage certificate, Jayden is pleased with what he sees, he smiles so wide at him making Dante stare suspiciously at him. "What ups with the smile?" "You look like a groom going to pick his bride." Dante coughed out, he had read the letter in the bottle last night after he got off the phone with his dad and that last part had kept him worried. "Hey, don't choke to death because of Marriage." "You are very naughty," Dante said as he pulled out the keys. "Do you want to drive?" "Is the car yours?" He answers yet with another question. "Get in, if you don't want me leaving you here.""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
"What did you just say?" "I have to cancel.''"Are you kidding right? You fucking cancel at the very last minute.""I can, it's a deal and I am...""I will sue you and your agency for breach of contract." "Really? Do you think you can?" "Of course, I will sue your worthless ass and make sure, you don't work in any of the agencies again.""Go on and do whatever you want, it will be you being dragged on social media, the girl without a boyfriend, or being desperately in need of a boyfriend.""I am not desperate.""You are desperate and your arrogance drove your boyfriend away, that is even if you ever had one." "Don't judge me like that, you don't have an idea about me.""I know everything, you are very troublesome and arrogant and a desperate woman""What did you just call me?" He didn't reply, he ended the call, she called but he didn't pick up, for the tenth time, he just switched off, stream of tears rolled down her cheeks like her heart was broken again. "Damn! All of you?" She
