Chap 2
Lexi looked in the mirror. He would see Cassandra soon in a romantic dinner at a well-known five-star restaurant which has been arranged by his mother.
In addition to fulfilling his mother’s wishes, Lexi was curious about his touch with the young girl he met on the bus this afternoon. This time he would try to get in touch with the woman of his mother’s choice. Would his body react the same?
“Sir, I will take you to Queen Restaurant. Mrs. Anna is afraid of you running away, she doesn’t want you to reject her wish again! Miss Cassandra is a high-quality woman and cannot be compared to other acting artists. Her family has a fashion business that has shot up to the top 10 this year!” Arsene explained according to Mrs. Anna’s wish. “For her face and physique, you understand better because you’ve seen her photos on her social media accounts and YouTube, Miss Cassandra’s face also shows often on television. I think, about her physique, there is no problem and you can say that she is the type you like!” he added.
Lexi’s hand reached out, picking up one of his luxury watches. “Beautiful? I think it is useless. You know what’s strange about me, right? It’s not enough just to be pretty! So far only the girl I met on the bus yesterday can keep my desire alive. I can come alone to my dinner with Cassandra, you better find out the girl who came into contact with me this afternoon!” Lexi ordered. The heat in his body was fiery. It couldn’t be stopped anymore.
“But sir!” Arsene protested.
“No rejection. Now you find the girl! I can have my own dinner with Cassandra. I won’t run away!” he insisted. His lips were pressed together, revealing his strong jaw.
“Yes sir!” Arsene replied.
The 29-year-old man obeyed his boss’s orders. Yes, almost half of his life, Arsene devoted himself to work in the Ricardo family. Because of his honesty and professionalism in his work, at this point Arsene has been the trusted secretary of Mr. Lexi, the president director who is the sole heir to the Ricardo Group.
Before leaving the room, Lexi applied perfume from Paris with a dominant masculine scent. Finally he reached his phone.
By using the elevator, the man went down to the basement where his car was parked. Since becoming a widower, Lexi decided to live in an apartment. He didn’t live with his father and his mother in the main house.
The elevator door opened. He immediately stepped into his red Ferrari. Opened the car door, then he sat behind the wheel. The Four-wheeled car began to walk out of the basement slowly.
(Sounds of phone call)
Lexi’s phone vibrated. There was a call from Mrs. Anna. Who else is it?
“Hello, Mom!” Lexi said after the wireless earphone was perfectly attached to both of his ears.
“You didn’t run away again this time, did you?” His mother asked.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
“No mom! I’ll be arriving at Queen Restaurant soon!” Lexi replied.
“Where’s Arsene? I want to talk to him!” Mrs. Anna would not easily believe Lexi. Lexi had often been absent from dating before.
“Arsene is not with me Mom! He has other tasks!” he explained.
Lexi just ended the video call.
***
Lexi came first. He waited for Cassandra’s arrival in a private room at Queen Restaurant.
When alone, Lexi remembered his one second touch with a young girl this afternoon.
Who’s she? Lexi, who longs for warmth, really wanted to meet her soon! He wanted to spend a wonderful night with that girl. Yes, the girl who he did not know her name.
(Sounds of the door opened)
The door opened. A waitress came in with a menu book. Behind waitress, there was a woman who walked elegantly to him, the woman that he had seen in the photo.
Cassandra took a seat across from Lexi.
Cassandra showed no interest in the man in front of her. she did it but it was contrary to what was in her heart and mind. It was her strategy to get Lexi’s attention.
“What would you like to order please?” The waitress handed the menu book, asking the two guests to order.
“Medium steak,” Cassandra said. “Lemon tea, and cheese pudding for dessert,” she added.
“I ordered the same as her,” Lexi said, closed the menu book and gave it to the waitress.
“Yes,” the waitress said politely and left the room immediately.
Now in the room there were only Lexi and Cassandra. Lexi, who wanted to experiment with his touch reactions to this women, deliberately booked a private room with a round table and not too big.
“Hey, this is really a waste of time! I’m not used to blind dates with any guy, so don’t expect much from our meeting tonight!” Cassandra said, starting the conversation with this handsome man in front of her.
“I’m Lexi! I can’t promise anything from our meeting either, all because my mother forced me! She thinks you’re the type I like!” Lexi deliberately stretched out his hand. His two eyes watched Cassandra. She has a beautiful face and long wavy hair. The face is oval and there are dimples in the cheeks, curly eyelashes, sharp nose, and red sexy lips. For her height and physique, there is proportional.
Degh.
Lexi’s heart skipped a beat as Cassandra prepared to shake his hand. Would his body react the same way?
“Nice to meet you! I’m Cassandra !” The girl reached out and shook Lexi’s hand.
Lexi pulled the corners of his lips into a smile.
Why is it normal? Why? Is there something wrong? Cassandra didn’t give any reaction to my body! What is wrong? She is beautiful and sexy! Why is my body just frozen?
Lexi moved quickly to land a kiss on Cassandra’s back hand, but it was the same. What he felt this afternoon when he touched the girl on the bus, he didn’t feel right now.
‘It’s not Cassandra’s fault. It’s not her fault. But it’s me who hasn’t healed yet! It will be a young girl on the bus? I have to find you!’ Lexi said in his heart.
Cassandra, who didn’t expect Lexi to kiss the back of her hand, thought more. She assumed that Lexi gave attention to her. All this time, Lexi was known as a cold billionaire, and ignored all women because he still couldn’t move on from his first wife who had died.
The door is opened. A waitress came in and took their order. Furthermore, it was predictable that Lexi was no longer enthusiastic about being there.
It was clear that Cassandra wanted to be closer to the sole heir of the Ricardo Group. Even though he is a widower, he has a handsome face and good body.
By the time the dinner was over, Lexi didn’t show that he was enthusiastic about Cassandra. In fact, he did not offer the model to go home with him.
“Cassandra, I’m home now. I have forgotten that there is something I need to talk to my secretary about!” Lexi said, it was an excuse to go home first.
“Yes, Lexi, see you later!” she said. Cassandra who was still euphoric because Lexi kissed the back of her hand. She got butterflies in her stomach.
Lexi got up from his seat and quickly left the dining table. He moved towards his car in the parking area. He took the time to open his phone. There was a message from Arsene.
Arsene : [ I have information about the girl on the bus this afternoon, her profile is on your desk tomorrow morning. ]
