Chapter 27: Chapter 27

Hell no! The thing is, we were dating but the idiot cheated on me with Claudia, so she is always using him as a bait, not to worry, he is not part of my problem, if he get too annoying I could beat him up.

War freak.

No I am not, I only do that, if the need arises. He used his napkin to wiped the side of her lips. Thanks!

I bet prince William face would had been disfigured for hurting your arms. She titter, dragging the water that Dante stretch to her.

The thing is, I am in a good mood, I didn't do anything to him.

Is it because he is a prince?

What is my business with him been a prince? I don't respect anyone that doesn't respect me.

Okay!

Thanks for the meal.

You welcome! I better leave now, so I don't keep your work on hold.

Okay! Thanks for the meal once more.

You welcome. Dante give her a warm smiled before pulling the door, he is standing right in front of Eve now.

CEO Dante!

You should keep it low, if you don't want to get into my trouble and on no account should you tell Barbara that I am CEO Dante.

I promise, my lips are sealed.

You should seal them very well, in order not to feel my wrath. Dante dart out, Jasmine watch him walked out, then run to Eve.

Hey wench! Why is CEO Dante here? Eve look at her. Start talking instead of staring like an idiot.

You should run after him and asked him.

Useless fellow. Jasmine cursed as she leave Eve, her manager doesn't have an idea of what to do with Jasmine arrogance.

***

At 2pm Dante is back to the office, his first meeting is handle by Jayden, he went straight to the other, it lasted for three hours, coming out, Jayden is looking at him.

Stop ogling, you should attend the last one for the day, I need to pick Barbara.

Hm! Did she also rent you as a driver?

Stop been ridiculous, I just want to help out, her car is bad, I will pick and drop her till her car is back in shape.

It's easy for her to pick another from the Calvin's garage.

I don't know about that but I got to go. He grabbed the keys, using the door before the main one.

Oh! He is walking to the slaughter himself. Jayden is crazy, Dante intention is to help Barbara, the injustice that is melted out on her is way too much but to Jayden, he is falling hopelessly for Barbara unknowingly. Maybe, he is going to change is plan, having her fall in love with her then abandoned her.

Who knows if the latter opinion is correct but for now, Dante had to be all nice to Barbara, he has to make her fall in love with him.

****

Although, he had promised to come pick Barbara, the young lady didn't want to rely on Dante, he always come late and like to play trick, she is about calling the cab.

Baby sister, your prince charming did not come to pick you up?

Claudia, you should...

Or maybe, he doesn't have a car.

Love, I am sorry, I was abit late. Dante sweet face appear in front of her.

It's fine, let's go. She pushed her hand right, on his waist, Derrick is about coming out, that sight is irritating him already, he goes back into their suite, Claudia clenched her fist and then dart back in anger.

Dante and Barbara didn't have much of a conversion, as soon as he drop her, he drove back home, he is spending the night alone at his Villa, Jayden is out of town, his dad called him to come home, so he had to live to Australia.

After Dante shower, he decided to place a call to Madam Jia Li, his mother, that is unlike him, his love for his mother is unlimited, still he always keep his distance from her.

Hello mother!

Li Jun! You sound like you are in a mood to talk. Madam Jia Li praise him, it's unlike him to call and then he did, he still talk before the caller.

Stop teasing mother!

Fine, I send you a mail, like some three days back, did you get it?

Mail?

Come on, you haven't open it? Dante is aware of it but the content, he has no clue about. Fine, why are you calling, if not about the mail?

Come on mother, don't I call to check on you before now?

No, I always do the calling and you always say, drop a note, I am busy. He smirked then pulled his black hair back with his free hand. I'm sure, you know.

No I don't, you the one telling me.

Naughty son, anyways, I just closed from clinic, the work load is pressing and the clinic needs new electronics, son, I mailed you to help check if Leonard's group, have good electronics, the company is having a contract with them.

Have you send the contract to them?

Yes, I have, since no reply from you, in two days time, we should be signing the contract.

Come on mother, I want to see the contract, send them to me.

Fine, I will but it should be reviewed and send back before the end of tomorrow.

Yes ma!

When are you coming home? That is it, Dante keep avoiding her call because of this, the old lady, want a grandchild from Dante as much as Mr Harold want one from him.

Not now, I am really busy.

Fine, talk some other time but don't forget, the clinic anniversary is coming soon

Oh! I forgot, don't worry, I will make time for it, I promise this time, I am not going to miss it.

Alright then, we talk some other time.

Wait mother!

What's it?

I need a favor from you.

Go on.

The thing is, a friend of mine got bruises around her wrist, is like a chain was pressed against her wrist, she have a scar mark, so can you suggest medicine for her?

Is she your girlfriend? When am I going to meet her?

Geez! I said a friend not fiancee. The entire conversation didn't interest madam Jia Li, the only thing she is after is Dante relationship with the girl, he is asking help for. Are you helping?

Fine, you should get a vitamin C cream to apply on it, if the scar is not too big or kojic acid ornaments to apply on it.

"Thanks mother, I finally get to see the benefits of you been a dermatologist" Dante felt part of the reason, his mother was willing to accept the divorce is because Mr Harold never did approve of her dream of becoming a dermatologist, talk more of opening a clinic.

That isn't funny son! It's clear from her tone that she is already irritated.

Sorry, I really don't mean to offend you. The only person Dante doesn't want to get hurt is his mother. Madam Jia Li.

Okay, you should tell me, if it work on her. Madam Jia Li, press the end button, a part of her long for her son, the boy turned into this cold man all because of she and Harold, he wanted his parents to be together, he loves family and that has always been his childhood wish, for his mother and father to celebrate marriage anniversary till they grow old and die not a miserable divorce certificate that none of the couples are proud of.

His life would had been perfect if they had stay together, even when Jia Li asked for it, he try to convince her to stay, she keep saying that, there is nothing left for her in the marriage. Dante never did buy that, he felt there is something left and they could work it out.

But as the saying goes, you can only force a Carmel to the sea but can't force it to drink water. Every words of Dante fall in deaf ear, the two couples finally separated, there goes another reason, Dante want to guard his heart, fear of divorce and falling out of love for his spouse.
