Chapter 30: Chapter 30
Barbara finally breath, away from those hurtful eyes is enough relief to pray for.
Are you Alright?
I wish I could say yes to that.
Why? Dante asked, taking the first turn from the Calvin's resort road.
So many issues to deal with but no one is more annoying than Miss Jasmine.
Why are you two fighting?
You should asked yourself that. Dante move his eyes from the road to her then back to the road.
Enlightening me!
Your handsomeness have won you so many crush.
Hm! So she is crushing on me?
Yes, she even asked me to stay away from you, that you are hers.
No one owe me. Dante voice is annoying and dry.
She does, she is so annoying, so I had to irritate her.
With what? She pressed her lips together, Dante stare at her.
Fine, I told her, you are the one chasing me. Dante move his gaze to her. Stop looking at me, I don't want to get into an accident.
Dante turned his gaze back to the road, remembering the morning incident, long silent go.
Hm! Is like not only your handsomeness won you girls but your clothing and cars.
Cars!
Yes, this is different from the one of yesterday and this morning.
It's...
Stop telling lies, this morning was BMW M3 Touring and now, Citroen CX5.
They are not mind. She stare at him, Dante is aware of her gaze. I work in a car wash in my free time, so I get access to cars.
Barbara turned her gaze to the other side of the window.
Liar!
What did you say?
Nothing! What are you going to do about your celebrity of a crush? Just maybe, you should stop chasing me and focus on your crushes.
Yet again, she uses same words, he chasing her. Is he really chasing her?
I don't know her.
Are you sure? Maybe, she had rented you a long time again.
Chia-Ling, let me be.
Barbara! He turned his gaze to her. Yes Barbara, my name is not Chia-Ling, I lied, just scared that you might be a swindle.
What made you change your mind about me? Her phone ping at that second; Barbara take the call.
Hello Kathleen!
Hey baby, are you home already or you are with that kisser. Barbara reduce the phone volume, she move her gaze to Dante but he show no sign of him hearing any of the conversation. Go on and tell me.
Shut up, why did you call?
I want you to come sleepover at my place.
Your grandma is not back?
Nope! And tomorrow is weekend, so get yourself here.
I don't have a car.
Don't worry, tell kisser to bring you. The line die off, Barbara press her lips together. Did you hear anything?
Nope! Dante said with a straight face, Barbara doesn't believe him, even when she whispered, he hears, talk more of the naughty Kathleen, yelling crazily on the phone.
Will it be... nevermind.
Just tell me where to drop you, I will do just that.
Barbara nodded, asking him to take the other turn, he wasn't complaining he keeps following the directions of Barbara.
Here we are.
Okay! When he pack the car, he didn't get down, Barbara too didn't get down, he stare at her. I thought you said we are there?
Yes! I was thinking... Sorry, I will get the door myself. He smirked, Barbara wants to pull the door.
Stay, I will open it. He get down, then pulled the door for her, she blushed badly as he pick her bag for her, Kathleen is watching them from the window, she hurry down, she really wants to meet Barbara rented boyfriend.
Hi! She said as soon as she get closer, Barbara move from Dante, he is standing right in front of her, his flame tower Barbara blocking her view of Kathleen.
Kathleen, what are you doing?
Wouldn't you introduce me to him?
Oh my bad, Li Jun meet my best friend Kathleen. Dante turned slowly to meet her gaze, Kathleen eyes bulge out.
CEO Dante! Kathleen call like whispered, Dante shake his head slowly for her not to tell on him.
Do you know him? Barbara asked, Kathleen pushed Barbara head.
Didn't you say you are coming with...
Shut up!
With who? Dante asked.
A friend, my name is Kathleen, her best friend, will you like to have dinner with us.
Not today, some other time, I go on now.
Bye handsome! Kathleen added that part, Dante wave at them, he get into his car then zoom off, Kathleen hugged Barbara.
He is really more handsome in person.
Crazy, stop hugging me like you don't know that he is a fake boyfriend.
Why not you make him real?
Kathleen, you are crazy, carry my bag.
Why should I?
He does that, so do it. She pushed her bag to Kathleen, Kathleen laughed heartily.
****
Meanwhile Dante is back to his Villa, Jayden is also back, after taking his shower, he join Jayden at the dinning.
When did you arrive?
Over two hours, I called, you didn't take my call and I have to call the office to check if you are still there but I was told you left.
You keep calling everyone, to asked after me, were you thinking, I got kidnapped?
Who will kidnapped, a bloody rascal like you?
No one, unless the person is looking for his death.
How is your girlfriend?
Girlfriend?
Barbara Calvin.
Hm! She finally told me, her real name.
I smell love in the air.
Stop talking nonsense, she shouldn't fall in love with me because she will get hurt more and that reminds me, Jasmine is becoming a pest to her.
Jasmine!
Yes, she is correctly having her photoshoot at the Calvin's resort, so she live there, she asked Barbara to stay away from me.
What did Barbara tell her?
You don't want to hear it.
I want to hear it, so shot.
She said "I am the one chasing her." Am I really chasing her? Jayden look at Dante, the man is affected with the words of Barbara.
Why are you giving it a thought? Or are you chasing her?
Jayden shut up. Dante closed his eyes then chew on his food. She is making it seems like I force myself on her.
Of cause, you did, she went for someone else and you swindle her into renting you.
Jayden shut up
Fine bully
My names are getting many. Jayden look at him. Yes, everyone keeps calling me one name or the other of the things they noticed about me.
What other name have been added? Apart from gay, loony; asshole; weirdo; insolent; hooligan; bully; cold man, ice man...
Kisser! Chaser!
Wait; did she call you that?
Not really, her friend did, so it only means one thing that the two have been talking about me and she keeps telling her friends, I am always kissing her but I only did that, when someone is around that she need to proof a point to.
You should be happy that, she doesn't know that you are dreaming about her, she would had added pervert to your name.
Really now?
Hands up.
Good, if you don't want me calling your dad that you are no longer by assistant so he could drag you back to the company.
You don't have to been mean, I am only saying the obvious.
Really?
Sorry sir!
How did your trip goes?
Oh! The old man wasn't dying, he just wanted to see me and he said he need a grandchild.
Then give him one.
I will give him one, when I found the right woman.
Stop talking about the right woman, you will only meet the wrong woman, for those girls you break their heart must be calling down evil on you.
Jayden titter, not like the man is bad, his heart is far from love, he doesn't believe in love, the only thing on his head, is one night stand.
Girls are like toy for him, he can't spend a day without one, no matter how busy he is.
