Chapter 77: Chapter 77

Dante wasn't able to reach Barbara, the young lady had lost her phone, she wasn't able to retrieve her phone from that no good boy.

Shit! I still can't reach her. Jayden look at him, as he rifled his hair back in frustration.

Will you slow down?

I just feel so uneasy.

Calm down, is just the fact that, you can't reach her and saw her almost stabbed right in front of you. Dante had told Jayden every single details of what happened. The anniversary is tomorrow, how are you planning for it? Dante run his hand on his hair.

I really need to speak to her. He dragged his keys, if the company should have their 40th anniversary the next day, it will no longer be a secret, Barbara will definitely know the truth, the truth that he is CEO Dante of Real achiever's corporation. The entire event will be broadcast live, he really wants to explain himself to her.

You can't possibly go out this night, you should mail her.

Perfect! He grabbed his laptop. Babs! How are you? I hope you are fine? I really need to talk to you, please message me as soon as you receive it, I really have something important to tell you.

Jayden look at Dante.

What's the stare?

Why do I feel that, you are afraid that she will find out the truth about you?

Of cause, I don't want her hearing from someone else.

Do you love her? Dante look at Jayden. Go on and answer me.

I love kissing her. Jayden looks at Dante in shock, instead of the man to give him a straightforward answer, he throw him in confusion, he run his hand on his head trying to figure where to place Dante, if he is attracted to her sexually or his heart is longing for her. Jayden can't place it.

You should let it rest. Dante said seeing the confusion he had throw Jayden into, he stand from his bed, then enter the washroom. Jayden phone ring bring the man from his thoughts.

Hello! Have you been able to find her? Jayden asked his private investigator that he contracted to search for Kathleen.

No!

Then why thy heck did you call? I need results not stupid call. He yelled at the phone. You should find her, I am paying dearly for it. Dante pushed his head out of the washroom hearing Jayden screaming.

Are you alright?

I am fine, excuse me. Jayden stand fast. I will have to leave, to make arrangements for tomorrow, we still need few things. Dante nodded at Jayden, he watch Jayden closed the door behind him.

Dante waited for Barbara's mail but he didn't receive any.

Shit! Why isn't she replying? I should mail her again. Are you sleeping already? I need to tell you the truth about me, I really want you to hear it from me and no one else. My real name is Dante Harold, CEO of Real achiever's corporation, although Li Jun is also my name but just few people knows me as that, I don't work for any of the agency, titled rented boyfriend, I am sorry if I swindle you. I will explain more, after tomorrow or maybe, I should come pick you, so you be my date at the company's anniversary, I really wanted to invite you but so many things at a time. I will appreciate if you reply.

Dante send her then go to bed, he needed to sleep since it's getting late, he doesn't want to get a bag under his eyes.

****

Hey Dante, you should wake up, we need to be there on time. Jayden wake the sleeping Dante.

Hey, stop disturbing me.

Are you for real, it's passed 9 already and the anniversary is by 11, dad is already on his way there.

What? Passed nine?

Yes, so get up, the interview is by 10:30.

Shit! He rushed to his laptop, Jayden look at him. Oh no! She didn't reply the message, I need to see her.

Dante!

Jayden called in frustration, Dante rushed into his bathroom, he didn't take much time before coming out. He dress up swiftly, Mr Harold pushed the door of his room. Father, what are you doing here?

I want to go along with my boys, I really don't have the strength of those paparazzi; journalist and those reporters, so you should dress up let's leave. Dante sighed inwardly, as he and Jayden groom themselves and leave for the show.

****

Milady! The dinning is serve. Fiona called Barbara.

Go on, I will be there, is father at the dinning?

Yes my lady, he said you should come down fast.

Alright my lady, I go on. Barbara sighed as she walked into her washroom to have a quick bath, she couldn't sleep nor do anything through the night, she was down, hurting with the fact that, she let her dad down, she hurt the man that have been the most important thing in her life.

Good morning father! Barbara greet Calvin who is sitting cold at the head of the table, he didn't reply her. Good morning Mom!

Good morning! Hazel murmured, since she have no choice than to be civil to her in front of her husband.

Let's eat! That was the only word he said, Claudia and Hazel are eating silently as well, the table is like a funeral parlour, Barbara could no long take the silent coming from her father.

Dad, I am...

Barbara stop it, I only want to eat. Calvin reply coldly.

But father...

I said stop.

Father, I am sorry, I would had just asked you instead looking for that orphanage, I really don't...

Fine, since you don't want to stop then I should leave the table. Calvin stand from the dinning, Barbara tears drop, as she watch her father turned his back at her. She run out of the dinning too in tears. Claudia watch her run out with a wicked smile paste all around her face. Hazel look at her.

Claudia, I hope you are not up to something bad, your dad will kill you, he might be mad at Barbara now, he is never going to let her heart bleed more.

Trust me on this, she is the only one that will hurt herself.

Are you sure?

Come on mom, enjoy your meal, you are the one always protecting me, let me do something for you. Hazel signed badly, she only hope that, whatever Claudia is up to, she is not going to get affected in the end.
