Chapter 23: Chapter 23

Easy Dante! Jayden speak, he ignore him and then rush to get the phone, he sighed, the caller is not who he is dying to talk to.

Rubbish! Jayden look at him.

Are you okay?

I would had been okay, if the caller is someone reasonable.

Who is the caller?

Scarlett, the beautiful girl. Jayden giggle at his words. Stop laughing I am saying the obvious.

Yes and less I forget, Scarlett said we should meet the new model for the product.

I am not chances for that.

Okay, I will meet her up at the Calvin's resort down town.

Wait up, when is the time?

I thought...

Stop thinking, just give me the time, I could add it to my schedule for tomorrow. Jayden smirked at his silly act, it's obvious Dante is missing something or maybe someone. I go to bed right now.

Sure, go on. Jayden's mockery tone, is one thing Dante hate to hear, he fall on his bed getting to his room, he stared at his phone then sighed badly.

****

Barbara phone has been ringing like ages, she didn't take it, she was thinking that the caller is Kathleen, she is not ready to listen to one of Kathleen's tale of her numerous crush.

Gosh! This girl, don't she knows when to stop calling. She decided to pick up her phone, since the naughty Kathleen will not rest till she get through. Barbara answered the call. Hello...

How is work today? Barbara pulled the phone from her ear to look at the caller ID, it's not on her contact info and the voice is definitely not from Kathleen, it's a male voice and no male, she could remember. Are you there?

Yes! Sorry please, who am I speaking with?

Prince William! Barbara sit up, she was just kidding when she told her grandfather that she will give William a chance, she never did asked him to give her number out. Are you there? William asked again.

Sure, I'm with you, just surprised...

Oh! how I got your number?

Not that, I know my grandfather gave it to you and the old man is dying to matchmake the two of us.

Really?

You of all people should know about that, you no stranger to that, am I right?

Just maybe, we could discuss that tomorrow.

I don't think it's possible, I go to work.

I know director Barbara.

Hm! The old man did well to give you my details, hope he didn't tell you about my insolent.

Naughty you! Like I said tomorrow, lunch we be perfect. The line die off.

Hello! Barbara pull her phone from and ear only to see a blank screen. What? He didn't even asked if I am interested in going out with him.

Prince William doesn't want to give Barbara that chance to reject his offer, he is having lunch with Barbara and that is final.

On a norm, Barbara will just declined his advance, not minding if she offend him, this is different, she doesn't have any man in her life, a little patient with prince William will not be all that bad.

Lunch! She is having lunch with prince William the next day, so she had to prepare herself and adjust her meeting, to prevent disappointment or making him wait.

****

At about 11:30 the next day, Dante had cleared his table and all his meeting were over, he stand in front of the mirror, is office have an inner secret room that he normally relax when he is tired and needed time alone, Jayden is the only one who have access to it, he too also go there to relax.

Dante range his black hair, after changing the suit he was wearing before now, then apply alot of perfume on his body, Jayden is watching him with eyes wide open.

Stop ogling with the way you are ogling, people might think we are homo. Jayden titter then tap Dante's shoulder.

Now that you are sending out invitations, you shouldn't complain, when the guest start arriving.

The young man got no clue of the words of Jayden, he ignores him, heading out of the office, all eyes were on him.

Can't they just stop staring? Jayden didn't reply him, at exactly 12 noon they were at the Calvin's resort, Dante look at himself throw the rearview mirror, now Jayden was force to talk.

Hey boss! Are you sure, you don't want to make the model fall hopelessly in love with you?

What model?

Jasmine! I heard she is very beautiful and...

Shut up and get out of my car.

Hands up, I am out. Jayden pulled the car door, to escape from Dante rage, getting down from the car, he place is hand in his pocket, walking elegantly towards Scarlett, Scarlett had noticed that Jasmine eyes are on Dante, so she wants to mark her territory.

Hi Dante

Hi Jasmine! She peck him right on his two side cheeks, Jasmine frown.

Such a flirt.

Jasmine, you should stop getting angry, your anger will do us more harm than good.

Genji! Don't control me, the fact that you are my manager doesn't mean that, you should bossy me.

I am just saying, you should be careful, considering the fact that, Miss Scarlett was the one who pick you for the modeling job, so don't get too pushy.

Yes adviser! Jasmine arrogance is like a rotten food that smell so bad that couldn't be hidden, not even for a second.

Sorry, I was a bit late. Dante takes his seat right opposite Jasmine, she is wearing a blue dress with the neck cut very low, revealing almost all her boobs with her hands fully exposed, she is a very beautiful woman, is like the city is flooded with beauty.

It's fine! Jasmine gave Scarlett a deadly look, making Genji shake her head in regrets, Jasmine doesn't listen, most contract under her name as been cancelled because of her arrogant and this one might end up in same boat like the others, if she keeps falling for Dante. Let me, do the honor, this is CEO Dante and his assistant, Mr Jayden and this is miss Jasmine, the model appearing for the product and her Manager Genji

Nice to meet you in person, CEO Dante. Jasmine stretch her hand to him, he takes hers in his, she caress Dante's hand, he pull his hand from her trying not to show his anger, the four exchange pleasantries after that Scarlett clear her throat then continue with the details about the contract.

Dante mind is far from the meeting, his eyes is everywhere, Jayden keep smiling to himself, he noticed that Dante is dying to see Barbara but he is not ready to admit to it.

Excuse me, Miss! Jayden said to the lady holding a file.

Sir, do you need anything?

Yes, is it possible we could speak to the director.

Oh! Sorry sir! Director Barbara is not on seat but we could book an appointment.

No need, some other time.

Alright sir! That was Eve, Dante stand up, as soon as he heard that Barbara is not on seat.

CEO Dante!

I am sorry, I have other meetings to attend to, I am sorry, I have to leave.

When are we meeting again? Jasmine asked.

Don't worry, my assistant will meet with you.

But...

That was his last words, he dart towards his car, Jayden finalize the meeting them meet up with him in the car.

I thought you are in a hurry.

Stop questioning me, get into the car. He turned the car in a hurry, Jayden stare was strong, he is right, his instinct doesn't lie, Dante is missing Barbara, maybe, he is developing Feelings for her
