254 Famous for being infamous (1/2)

She stirred her Coke with the straw, trying to stay composed but it was hard. The information she gathered about Miss Long was still fresh in her mind. She could not believe Jason would have an affair behind her back.

Her eyes glued at her phone. The screen was lit up. It showed a picture of Mika and Jason kissing under the mistletoe during the Christmas last year.

A man came into the restaurant and looked around. He smirked when he saw the woman sitting at the table at the corner. He took off the toothpick he had in his mouth and walked toward her.

He faked a cough to grab her attention. He had to cough twice more, which brought the glare from other people close by, before she lifted her head up and frowned at him.

He chuckled and pulled a chair facing her, \”Hey, you're the one who called me to come here but now you're acting like I'm forcing you to come here.\”

She rolled her eyes.

\”What did you buy for me?\” he asked when he saw she only had a weird green drink in front of her.

\”Why do you expect me to pay every time?\” she growled.

\”Because you called me to come,\” he shrugged. He waved for the waiter to approach and the man came with a smile.

She swallowed the curse she wanted to let out as she watched him ordering the expensive dish. He knew she was still unemployed but he did not care. He did not feel ashamed and guilty for spending her money.

Hmph…

\”Now, why did you want me to come here?\” he asked once the waiter left them to process the order.

She pushed her drink to the side and crossed her arms on the table. Her eyes stared at him without blink.

\”How much do you want for ruining someone?\” she asked quietly.

His brows lifted at the question. He looked around, aware that they were in the public. Had she lost her mind asking this question in the restaurant with so many people around? He frowned and remembered she was a cuckoo. She was so overconfident and so high in her self-esteem that she did not care what others thought about her. She was so selfish and even lied to get what she wanted. In fact, he somehow thought she even believed her own lie. She was that delusional.

No one was more delusional than Ella. Oh yeah, he remembered how much lies and stories she created in order to put herself in the spotlight. No one liked her.

And why he, Simon, could come here when she called? Because he was good with computer and has a huge group of friends, both the white, dark and even grey side. And he could do anything with a small amount of… well, as long as the money was worth the work, he did not mind doing anything.

\”Excuse me?\” her nose flared at the question.

He pulled her so she leaned forward until their foreheads touched.

\”Are you crazy for wanting to discuss in the middle of people? Have you gone insane after all these years?\” he hissed.

Her eyes blinked at the closeness of their heads.

\”Have you fallen in love with me?\” she asked quietly.

He pulled back immediately. His jaw dropped. Did she ask… when had… why would she think that way?

He felt like laughing loudly. He could not believe this at all. Was she so delusional thinking that every male living in this world would fall in love with her?

Was he still sleeping? Was he having a nightmare?

He pinched himself secretly. Aww… it hurt. Meaning that he was not having a nightmare. There was an Ella in front of him thinking that he, Simon, fell in love with her? Why would she think that way? Where did she get that idea?

Oh God, why would he keep thinking why she thought that way? He should just leave her and continue his own life without this kind of craziness.
