Chapter 507 - Prince Charming Part 2 (2/2)
”You aren't following me, right?” She asked. She pulled her hand from him.
”No, I happened to see across the road.” He smiled at her. ”You are more beautiful without any make-up.”
She wasn't used on the flattery, so she frowned.
”Uhm, can I ask for your number? If it wasn't that a little bad—I mean, I just want to know you more.”
”Why do you want to know me more?” She asked interrogating him a little.
”Well, I—I don't understand my feelings towards you the first time I lay my eyes on you.
She frowned and stared at him. Then she looked at her bodyguard.
”I'll give you my surname when we met for the third time.” She turned back from him. ”Do not stalk me.” She said and the bodyguard followed her.
”Tu es belle, Mademoiselle!” He shouted. She doesn't know what she should feel from what he said. She knows that she's beautiful but hearing it to a stranger who admired her makes her think. What the heck is that vision all about?

Christian met her father in a dinner with her mother. They are rich family and the dinner is exquisite and but nothing too grand like the Phoenix and Mondragon since Dmitri owned an agent that is also Chefs.
”So, Christian, what's your parent's business?”
Christian stopped eating and he mee Hazel's father's eyes.
”Our business already died after my parents die.” He told. ”I am living alone, Sir.”
Mr. Francisco stopped and glanced at his daughter.
”You are studying in the Empire Academy?”
”Scholarship, sir.” He told and Mr. Francisco nodded. Looking into their eyes, he knew that they wouldn't approve of him. If his mother is still alive and their Empire isn't dead, they wouldn't think twice about letting their daughter marry him. But if it happens, he might be screwing different girls already because he had money. But his attitude wouldn't be as good as now. He's been shaped up well. ”I am also working in the café.”
”Oh, that's great. How did you meet my daughter?” He asked.
”She's my classmate.”
It turned bad after dinner. He just heard from her father and mother telling Hazel that he wasn't the one. Their skinny-dipping last night was good and Demi is also there who left them after seeing them. She might've seen his girlfriend n.a.k.e.d and good thing that he hasn't put down his shorts.
He left the rest house and went to his room as he packed-up. It's been three days and they still have five days to stay. Maybe he will just go to the Phoenix who accepted him though his family had done bad things.
Taking his bag with him, he left the room, but Hazel blocked him.
”Where are you going?”
”My boss told me to go over there.” He told. ”They rented half of the resort. I am not good enough for you, Hazel.”
Hazel stopped.
”You heard it?”
”Yes, and I can see from your parent's eyes that they are afraid that we might be together and get married. I can't give you a luxury life, Hazel.” He reached her face and he kissed her forehead.
”You never told me about your life status.” She bit her lip.
”If I told you, you'll never like me.”
”I still like you.”
He smiled at her tightly.
”I'll see you around.” He left the room and went to the beach just in front of the tent. He sat down and stared at the big moon. Just a few meters away is Demi who is busy sketching on her tablet.
”So, they kick you easily?” Demi asked.
”Hmm, you guessed right, Princess.”
”Their family isn't that rich, and they seek more power.” She stood. ”Come, dad will show us how to cook a lobster.”
Demi walked back to their cottage and he followed. The boys greeted him asking him if they would go on drinking, but their parents prohibited them.
He doesn't have an appetite a while ago and seeing Dmitri prepare the lobsters with the chef makes him famished.
”Wash your hands, Chris, we are going to cook some lobster!” Dmitri called out. He nodded and put his bag on the chair.
Demi is already washing her hands after tying her hair. They stood at each side of Dmitri as Dmitri told them how to cook it, cracking the head on the middle vertical of the lobster and put it on the boiling water and put sea-salt on it.
