Blue eyed customer with the livid temper

Celine had given her conversation with her father a lot of thought. It wasn't making any sense to her. She was a firm believer in love marriages. Arranged marriages weren't her thing and her father of people knew that. The offer Mr Smith had made was very mouth watering...but sacrificing the rest of her life to be with some stranger in exchange for a comfortable life sounded like a good deal at the same time sounded like a really bad decision to make.

She knew that if it were up to her father, he would have married her off immediately. She was grateful that he considered her feelings at least. She couldn't imagine if her father had given her no other option than to get married to the billionaire's grandson. She needed to talk to someone about it. She was usually busy trying to make ends meet so she had literally no friends. Well, except Zack her boyfriend, most times she wondered why he was with her. She brought absolutely nothing to the table, she was young and broke. She had big dreams for the future tho.

She went to visit Zack at his apartment later that evening. At least he was someone that wouldn't want her to marry someone else for any reason at all.

"Hey babe" she greeted as she got into his apartment. She kissed him on the lips and sat beside him on the sofa. She shifted for a while in her seat before finally lying down with her head on his laps.

"Celine?" Zack called

"Yeah?"

"Something seems off? What's wrong?"

Zack had noticed her shift in her sit, she only does that when she's nervous or when she wants to talk about something. "Wanna talk?" He asks.

"Well yeah, I mean it's not that much of a big deal as i already said No, but it's just my dad wants me to get married to his boss's son" Celine explained.

Zack cleared his throat and sat her right, in a way that they were both looking into each other's eyes.

"His boss? Mr Smith of Smith Group of Companies? That man is a fooking billionaire!" Zack exclaimed, excitement clearly written over his face.

Celine looked at him confused as hell. She expected him to get angry at the thought of her marrying someone else and not excited.

"Baby, we're gonna be rich!!" He said, he stood her up and twirled her around. "You're my lucky gem!"

"Zack! What's wrong with you? You're happy my dad wants me to marry someone else? And by the way i said No to the proposal" Celine said annoyed.

She snatched her hand from his grip and went to seat on another chair away from where he was sitting.

"Look Celine, I'm a college graduate with no job. I'm broke as fvck and so are you. This opportunity has been brought to us on a platter of gold so who are we to turn it down?" Zack said.

He had no money at all, there were no openings in the job market and he didn't have any hope of making a living. Celine marrying a rich man's kid was a very great idea. He could work with celine and milk those people off their money. After all it's a cruel world and he was sure Mr Smith wouldn't even notice that his money was missing.

"Look Celine, it's our ticket out of poverty. Like no one gets opportunities like this nowadays unlike the 80's. Just one year babe. One year and you'll divorce him. Ask for half his wealth and boom! We're rich! What do you think?" Zack suggested.

"I think it's the darkest and cruellest thing I've ever heard. That's literally me being a gold digger. I can't marry a man for his money. There is no way I'll ever stoop so low. And here i was thinking you'll agree with me that it's a wrong idea. You know what? Fvck you!"

Celine left Zack's apartment in anger. She could not believe he had expected her to get married just to dupe the poor man of his wealth.

She had a night shift at a coffee shop. Yeah, she also wonders who sells coffee at night but turns out it was more than coffee, the coffee was just a cover. She was fine with not knowing what the other thing was. She wouldn't have even taken the job is she wasn't so broke and in debt.

Some costumer has walked in wearing a black hoodie and sweatpants. She walked over to him to take his order.

"Good evening sir, what would you like to order?" Celine had asked in her most polite tone.

The guy looked up to see who it was that walked up to him. His eyes were so dark and void that Celine felt like crawling into her skin. She didn't like the way this customer was scanning her with his eyes.

"Sir?" She called again.

"Shut up!" He commanded in a low voice but sounded as cold as ice.

Xavier wondered who the new girl was and when these coffee freaks started hiring outsider as waiters. He was here for business as usual but this waitress seemed to be clueless and he had no time to explain who he was and what he wanted to her.

He lifted his hoodie to reveal his get black hair, the light in the shop complemented his blue eyes and made the shine bright. He heard the waitress gasp. Yeah! He got that kind of reaction from ladies all the time.

'who would his all that handsomeness under a hoodie?' Celine questioned in her head.

"Are you listening to me?" Xavier repeated. This waitress seemed to be lost in her own world and it was beginning to piss him off but he kept his cool. He thought she had seen her somewhere before tho...

"I said i want to see Scar!!" He repeated.

Celine quickly understood,that was the code to mean her was here for other business other than coffee.

She immediately hurried off to meet the manager who would then attend to Xavier.

While the manager spoke in hush tones with Xavier. Celine could not help but be distracted by thoughts of the handsome blue eyed costumer with a livid temper. She found him rude but he was damn handsome. 🥺🥺🥺🥺.........
