Chapter 15: Chapter 15

You not serious are you?

Of cause, I am freaking serious, I know Claudia is headache, she is nosy, she will want to know more, I am sure, she will try finding out everything about this, if we are just pretending.

But we are just pretending.

Can you shut up? I know that all this is fake, that is the reason, I am renting you for a month.

Do you think, you could afford me for a month?

Li Jun, right? Barbara asked he look at her and nodded. Name your price and see if I can't afford it. Dante press his lips together, he is aware that, money might not be the issue, Barbara could get it within a blink but then making her beg might make him smile, since the fellow is arrogant.

Terms and conditions.

What's that?

You said I should name my price?

Yes but...

My terms and conditions, are my price.

As in, you want to give me orders?

Call it anything, Do you want to know my terms and conditions?

I don't take order from people, if I am paying for it, the only thing, you are supposed to do, is demand for money nor give me rules, if you don't want money then back off.

Of cause, I am out. He turned around to leave

Wait, what are the terms and conditions? Dante smirked, taking a few more step without looking at her.

I will text you.

What? You scumbag. Dante didn't say a word to her, he just disappeared into the crowd, Barbara hit her hand on her head slightly. Moron. Her phone ring, she pick at first ring. Kathleen, what now?

Will you stop, who annoyed you?

No one, just meet me up at the office by Monday, I will give you details about the ball, right now, I need to attend to grandpa.

Sure, I will be there, you should know that chitchatting is one thing I love the most.

Silly! Barbara end the call, she walked gorgeously back into the building, she didn't bother going to see her grandpa, she is aware that Claudia is just blabbing and she is tired of the party.

Dante is sleeping peacefully on his bed, Jayden pushed his room door, his steward had directed him into the room that Dante haven't come out that morning.

Dante! He hit him slightly.

Jayden, can't you see I am tired.

Tired? What did you do at the Party?

What do people do at a party? he struggles out of the bed, heading to the washroom.

Dance, drink and kiss. Dante cough, Jayden look at him. Did you kiss?

Stop asking nonsense, why will I kiss her? Jayden look at him then smirked.

How did it go?

When I refer to you as a girl, you should know that I am not lying.

Stop calling me a girl, just tell me, what happened, every details. Jayden fall on his bed, Dante didn't reply, he pick himself and walked into the bathroom, he need to brush his teeth then shower, he is coming out of the bathroom when his phone ring.

Who is calling this early? Looking at the caller, he sighed badly. Can't this old man let me be? He pick after nagging then go mute.

Dante, are you there?

Yes father, why are you calling so...

Dante, don't you think that, the first thing you are supposed to do is greet not behave insolent, it's call courtesy

Come on father, I am very busy, just tell me what you want.

Good, I am sending you a girl.

Father!

Yes, she is a business associate daughter, I want her to join the company...

It's Sunday not...

Shut up, her name is Scarlett, she is a friend daughter, you should be nice to her not abandoned her like you did Alicia and for the record, you shouldn't say anything stupid.

Father...

Stop interrupting me, she will be there by 4pm, like I said please be nice to her. Harold end the call, not waiting for a word from Dante, he frown

What is the old man up to now?

Yet another matchmaking. He throw his phone to the bed. So annoying.

Dante...

Not a word about that stupid act of my dad.

I am not going to talk about that...

Then what are you going to talk about?

Barbara!

Oh, that naughty girl. Dante said it casually making his way to his drawer to groom himself.

Come on tell me.

Fine, since you must know, she is renting me for a month.

What?

Can you stop screaming? You haven't even asked me, if I agree or not

I already know the answer I can't stop screaming because you are going crazy by the day.

I am not.

Of cause, you are.

If you say so.

So how much is she paying for renting you a month?

Silly, she is not paying but...

But what? His phone ring, he smiled as he takes it without a word.

Hello! No reply. Are you there? Li Jun.

Yes, what is it? The caller is Barbara.

It's bad enough to keep mute, when someone is calling you and secondly, your first words are rude. Dante roll his eyes. Are you there?

Yes! Why did you call?

What insolent?

Did you call to lecture me or...

Whatever, I was just calling because of that stupid stuff you send me, calling it terms and conditions.

What happened to it? Dante asked sitting gorgeously on his couch, Jayden look at him, now he could sense that the caller is Barbara and Dante must have said some stupid thing all in the name of conditions. Go on. He press the phone on speaker, he can't explain to Jayden, he should as well listen while the conversation is going on.

Those stuff you send me, aren't terms and conditions, they are what couple do and it's absolutely nonsense

Really?

Yes!

I didn't know that we are couple last night when you...

No I didn't, you did.

Now you are turning the table.

Just shut up, I am not doing that with you and I am not getting a ring from you because we are not lovers.

Whoa! You are the one looking for boyfriend not...

Do you know you are insolent and you are getting on my nerves? My patients is running out and you might not like what I will do.

What will you do about that? Throw a punch right on my face. Jayden almost burst in laughter, Dante give him the deadly look.

The fact that you saw that, doesn't mean I go about punching people, I only did that to... Why am I explaining to you? Back to the stupid terms and conditions of your.

Really? They are stupid? I don't see...

Shut up, asking me to kiss you.

Jayden mouth drop open hearing just one of the condition, that Dante gave her

I didn't asked you to kiss me, I only said, if the situation warrant it and stop acting like you are some princess that your lips are so sweet.

Of cause, they are sweet like honey. Dante unconsciously lick his lips like to taste her lips in his, Jayden's eyes bulge out, which means that the two had kissed, when Dante caught his eyes, he readjust himself.

Oh please, are you living by my terms and conditions?

Come on, it's not just right, asking me to kiss you whenever we get involved in an awkward condition, giving me ring, hug as often as we can; I can't date another boy, within this one month.

Yes, were you supposed to be dating me and dating another boy?

Come on, what if I want to call off the deal before the end of the month?

Didn't you read the other part?

What part? Dante didn't reply her, she read the other part of the mail. If you do not wish to agree with my conditions, then you could as well look for another rented boyfriend and also expect notice of harassment.

What? Barbara screamed as she read the last part.

Why the yelling? You did harass me.

This is total blackmailing.

No oh, if I were to blackmail you, I would had asked for money from you but I didn't.

Fine, but you should make sure to always make yourself available...

Not so fast, I need your signature on the documents and send back to me, remember you started it

Fine jerk! She end the call in anger, Dante titter.

Silly girl. He stand from the couch, Jayden look at him.

Did you kiss her?
