Chapter 9: Chapter 9

I never knew about that part, so we should put it in part of the curriculum, that all ladies shouldn't fall for the boss.

That will be a good idea, just let the HR know about it, so we don't keep throwing our money on idiots that are supposed to work not flirt

Dante!

Just shut up!

Jayden keep quiet, pushing it further will only make the two argue, he walked towards the car as soon as the elevator stop.

I will drive!

Jayden is aware that Dante love to drive himself, the man love to move at his Pace, even if the drive would had be faster, if it's done by another, he will still think, it's too slow.

The drive there was fast making them arrived before time, as the two walked into the restaurant all eyes where on them.

She is not here, what does she take me for? A jobless man who is ready to play romance as a job.

Dante!

What now?

He grabbed a sit, making him relax himself, Jayden look at him.

What now?

Why did you even wear a jeans and t-shirt?

I was trying to avoid the old man, so I didn't go home and my condominium is just having this, it does look good right?

Yeah! You look astonished.

You definitely going to turn gay.

No way, I like girls, they are like play thing.

Interesting, I never did called them that, but you claim to be nicer, yet you are the one calling them that. Jayden phone ring.

I need to get this call but please, be nice to her, try not to pick her words, when she arrives.

Noted boss.

Women are fragile you know that and they are supposed to be treated with respect.

Yes, I just said noted, you should take your call instead of lecturing me. Jayden smile then take his call making him leave Dante to wait for his date, he was sipping on his coffee when Barbara walked in, she was talking on the phone.

Kathleen, stop lecturing me, I am there already, so stop with the drama.

Dante raise his head up, only to see a young lady on phone and she is walking towards him, he frown, yet another stupid fellow ready to throw herself at him.

Sorry! I am late. Barbara said as she wants to take the chair opposite him.

You can't take that, it's reserve for someone.

I know and I am the one, the thing is my friend was the one that made the arrangements, so is me, you are supposed to meet...

You!

Yes me! She didn't understand that part that Dante refer to her as You. I was too busy that my friend had to call your agency and she made arrangements that we should meet here.

Dante look at her, like some one speaking a foreign language.

You still don't get me.

Yes, you should explain. She gasped for air, then pulled the chair and sit.

Okay, I was supposed to be the one to book an appointment for this, but I just can't and my friend had to do it for me...

Don't you think you are committing a blunder.

Of cause not, my friend said the agency is sending you here, white t-shirts and a jeans, be here at 4pm, I could admit that you are time cautious.

Dante stared at her, as she talks, he is getting a clearer vision of the woman, he remembers that, she is the one at the beach that ruin his face not like she ruin his face because his face is so much intact and looking more handsome and friendly to Barbara, even though he is not friendly.

So what you are saying is, you are not from the agency, boyfriend for rent?

Asking that, some evil thoughts creep into his heart, he adjust himself.

Oh! Yes! Yes! He said like a whisper. I was just kidding, I am. Barbara breath out.

God! You almost got me there.

I was only making sure, since you are not the face, the agency send me.

Oh! That should be my friend, so the thing is, I want to attend a ball, so I needed a date.

Family ball? Dante asked, she look at Dante, she wasn't expecting him to asked about that. Go on.

Yes... No... The ball belongs to my boss, so I am supposed to attend it but I need a date.

A date? Why not go with your boyfriend? Or don't you have a boyfriend?

That is none of your business, the only thing, you are supposed to asked about is, when is the ball, place and time, not asked me the reason, for not wanting to go with my boyfriend or renting one.

Whoa! I can't be mistaking, she is the rude girl from the beach. He said mentally.

What are you thinking about? You don't want to, you should as well let me know.

Anyways, it's not my business.

Good, now listening to me, you will be with me at the ball, the ball is at the Calvin's villa, Kathleen said that, you are on special so your pay is $56 an hour and I am taking you for three days.

Three days? I thought you are having just a ball, it means it just for some miserable three to four hours, why do you even have to go to a ball with a date?

Is because I don't want... She pause and look at him. Don't you dare asked another question, you are supposed to listen and take instructions not talk, so zip it.

Dante press his lips together, to show he is silent.

Good, like I said three days and I'm not paying for kisses nor sex, so those are out of it, here is the cheque. She pushed the cheque of $4;100 I don't know how to calculate that, but it will foot the bill.

Dante look at the cheque then her, it's insulting to his personality but what can he do.

Are you not supposed to pay to the agency and secondly, why is there no name for it?

Oh! She dragged the cheque, what is she going to do? Like you said, I will just made the payment to the agency.

Fine then. She stand then turned to Dante, who is sitting, so elegantly.

What is your name? Dante look at her blank. Yes, your name and your number.

Li Jun!

She look at him, instead of giving her, his English name, he decided to used his Chinese name for her, that is the name, his mother usually call him, so only his close friends knows about him and Barbara had no idea who he is.

Okay, your number.

Just give me your card, I will call you. She press her lips together, Dante eyes didn't leave her, she open her bag then grabbed a pen and paper, she write her number.

That is it.

Name?

Chia-Ling. Barbara called a Chinese name for him, she is not a Chinese, she just thought of a name to give him and that is the one name that she could remember, it was answer in a movie by one of her favorite actress. Anymore questions? She asked him, he shakes his head, he just want her to disappeared fast before his date appears.

That reminds me... He stared at her. I need your address?

What?

Yes, I want to deliver wear for you, I wouldn't want to look stupid, so I have to pick a wear for you.

Don't worry, I could fixed it myself.

No way, did you think is some childish event? It's a societal one, I don't want that naughty Claudia to laughed at me.

Are you in some kind of competition with...

Shut up!

Maybe, I am no longer interested in...

Fine sorry, but I still want your size and address so I send it to you.

I will do just that. Dante said fast, as soon as he noticed that Jayden had messaged him that Alicia is on his way. Alright, bye. Barbara walked gorgeously out of the restaurant, Dante used his eyes to follow her, as she swipe her waist from side to side, she is beautiful, he will admit but she is arrogant.

Hey, who is she? Jayden said as he dragged the chair, at first he was thinking that she is the one, he is supposed to meet but getting messages from Harold that she will soon be there, get him confused.
