Chapter 65: Chapter 65
The two were eating in silence, Barbara mind wonder again, and smile brightly, Jeffrey stare at her, his eyes meet her.
Hm! Stop staring, I am not thinking about anything.
Barbara, if you find out that Li Jun is not who he is; will you get mad at him?
Jeff, he is not my boyfriend, he is just a friend.
I know, will you get mad?
Of cause, I will never forgive him, if he play me for a fool because I see him as a friend now and I expect him to be honest with me especially now, that I want to rent him for...
Rent him again? Jeffrey yelled.
Stop it, he is a nice person, you will get to love him, when you get closer to him, he is very nice. Jeffrey went mute for awhile, Barbara rub her hand on his shoulder. Do you think, I am that bad for someone to love?
Barbara!
Just kidding, come on eat your meal. When she goes back to her meal, Jeffrey eyes didn't leave her, he keeps having thought on his head, just maybe, Barbara is already falling for Dante, he had to act fast,so fast, so has to stop this madness, Barbara is possessing.
Hey, why are you looking at me like some alien?
Are you really an alien? Jeffrey reduced his voice.
Stop teasing me, before you make me run out of my own air. She throw the napkin at him.
"Interesting, I never thought of meeting an alien with her own air, I thought the air is for everyone?"
Barbara roll her eyes at him, then smiled, Jeffrey smiled back at her
I love you. Jeffrey smiled. I love you very much bro. That last part made him sad, but what can he do, what hurt most, is to have one sided love, an unrequited love but nothing is impossible to him, Barbara already have soft spot for him, little by little, he is going to bring her to his world, make her understand his emotions towards her and cause her to fall hopelessly for him. She is the woman he wants to spend his lifetime with, so he had to do everything to have her and that is what he is going to do.
After Jeffrey drop her at the office, she didn't stay long before she got a message that her dad will be available by weekend so she had to return home before the weekend.

Cole's Residence
I will rather wait till Thursday before returning home than live with that naughty Claudia, that never seem to get tired of bullying me.
Arriving at Kathleen's place, later in the evening, she was expecting Kathleen but the butler told her that Kathleen will not be available.
What is wrong with that brat? She try calling her, but the number keep saying leave a voicemail.
Hey! Did she say what's wrong?
She only said that we should take care of you and make you comfortable, that she had to fly to her grandmother.
Really? Did anything happen to Grandma Cole?
She didn't say but she was not looking so happy when she arrives this morning after you left.
Fine, I will just shower, I will skip dinner.
My lady!
It's fine, I am not mad. The butler bow and left, that was unlike Kathleen, first of all, she left her last night and stay out through the night and this morning, she had to return and leave without bothering about how worried she will be. She is definitely going to get it from me.
After Barbara shower, she is contemplating on leaving that same evening but on a second thought, she decided to look for way to persuade Dante to go back to his condominium, since her friend is tired of her. Then her thoughts wonder to Dante, she grabbed her phone, to check if Dante texted her but he didn't.
She decided to scroll through the chat, her face flash as she keeps reading, she mistakenly send him an heart emoji.
Fuck! Barbara, what have you done? She deleted the message very fast
****
Meanwhile, at Mr Taio Residence, Dante and Jayden are having a business meeting with the old man, Dante is too occupied with the meeting, that he forget to inform Barbara that he is traveling and will not be around till weekend.
Mr Taio, so you are saying that, you will invest in this only if I marry your daughter.
Mr Taio is a straightforward man, he had no time of playing hide and see, and his bargain is always fair to him, but this one is not fair to Dante, marriage in exchange of business.
Father! The young lady called, as she walk towards her father, that was Miss Leah Taio.
Oh come over here, we have some guest. Leah walked gorgeously towards then, Mr Taio Introduce them, her eyes was fixed to Dante, whose face lightening up as soon as he saw his phone, that was place on top the table beep with message, Barbara's name was display but the message is deleted. He frown.
She didn't even let me see it.
Did she send it mistakenly?
Or was it someone else, she wanted to send to it?
Dante, what are you doing? Mr Taio is waiting for your reply. Jayden whisper to him, he raised his head and look at Mr Taio and his daughter, who is looking at him.
Sorry, sorry, I just got a message from my...
Your?
Mr Taio pick the last part.
Uh! He look at Jayden then turn his gaze back to Mr Taio. My mother! Yes my mother.
Okay! Like I was saying, when you get married to my daughter, the deal is seal, so I will be expecting that you make your decision fast.
Sure, I will not take much time but for now, I need to go. Dante stand, Leah didn't say a word, he watch Dante and Jayden bid goodbye then take their leave.
Do you like him? Mr Taio gaze is on Leah.
I do but I think, he is in love with someone else.
What?
Call it my instinct. Leah is a girl of noble birth, she is the only child of Mr Taio, she got this gift of telling a person thought by mere looking at them, she could see through Dante that he is in love but she too is interested in the man.
Drive!
Jayden look at Dante, as he throw his car key to him.
Stop staring I said drive, you are the one dying to drive me every single day, now, you have the opportunity, so drive and stop stressing me.
Jayden had no choice than to drive while Dante grabbed his phone
Hi! Li Jun
