Yes! Miss Barbara. She added miss to Barbara's name sarcastically.
You see, I hate sharing, and my boyfriend is not the type that act rude around women. Barbara used her napkin to wiped his lips, as she speaks. so let me do the talking on his behalf. We do mind your interruption on our lunch, if you have anything business to discuss with him, you could do that during office hours not while we are on a personal date. So if you will excuse us and let us enjoy our time alone, I will appreciate.
Alicia clenched her fist, she can't believe this wench will talk to her in a rude disrespectful manner because of Dante. She walked away in anger before Barbara could say yet another word.
What's up with you and women? Barbara asked Dante with a tight teeth.
Dante was force to smile, Alicia interpreted it to his way of showing Affection to her.

Don't give yourself too much important, the young lady is still staring, probably thinking of her next line of attack, I am sure, if eyes kill that woman there would had kill me with her eyes. Barbara speak as she acted sweet towards Dante, he too had to reciprocate by feeding her.

I just hope I am not getting myself into trouble, trying to scared the living day light out of those numerous women of yours around you.
Hey, FYI they are not my women and stop overreacting.
You think so? Dante pick her bag from the table as they walked out. Maybe, I should charge you for this services and for more damages if any of your women try to make my life a living hell.
Dante smirked, in a blink, she move to Dante's front, the man eyes stare at her in confusion. That asshole wouldn't rest. She circle her hand on his neck.
She only wants to place her hand on Dante neck but the young man cupped her face with his hand and gave her a passionate kiss.
