41 Surprised. (1/2)

It's a dinner party, his father James Chivalry invite a few of his business partner to come to his house.

The woman named Sarah Madison is also invited to the house. She is his date for tonight.

”Chase, this is Sarah and Sarah, this is Chase. My son that I told you before.” James introduced both of them.

Chase shake her hand formally. She was a beautiful woman, wearing a long dress night gown with a fur coat wrapping around her shoulder.

”Hello Chase.” she said and after some talk with James, he leave Chase and Sarah together at the banquet hall.

”I heard a quite a lot about you.” she started.

”I hope it's a good one.” he replied.

”Yes, it is. I heard you're a doctor?”

”Yes.”

”Which hospital did you work with?”

”None. I'm free-lance.”

”Oh? So you are one of the group doctor that is rumored with a high skill and high pay?”

Chase nod.

”Wow! Never expecting to meet you here. I'm really lucky I guess.” she smile.

Chase just smile back to her.

”So Chase, tell me more about you.” she look at his eyes. 'It's blue.' she thought.

”Why should I? I just what you think I am.” he reply casually.

”Hmm.. we're on our date right now. It'll be impolite if we go with our way. Your dad will..probably scold you..so let's play along with this set up.” she explain.

Scrunch his eyebrow, he decide to play along. After all, it just for this night.

”Well this set up is my father who decide it, not me.” he said.

”Okay. Well, me too.”

”Good. So we don't need to continue anymore.” Chase ready to go.

”Wait, hold up.” she grab his suit.

”Not so fast, I still not finish yet.” she continue.

”Listen, I can't just said to my parent that we're not a match. They'll suspect us. After all, they do this for business. What if we just play along with them until they close their deal and then we can break up. This deal is meant a lot to them.”

”I don't want to be the black goat just because they want to close a deal with my father.” Chase said.

”Neither do I. But, they raise me. I somehow i feel ineed to pay them back for their hard work. This deal is a big opportunities to us. It's benefit your family and mine too. Think about it. You have someone you love and I have someone I love too. But it just for a few months. Then we can all go back to our own life.”

”You think that will be easy? After we break up, the deal will be lost too. Your parent will be more sad than now. How are you planning on explain to them?”

”I get your point. But Mr. Chase, this deal cannot be cancel off just like that. Your family need our technology and my family need your family fund. The contract will be about five year or so. They can still hold until then. We'll talk about this properly to them so that they will understand later.”

”I'm sorry, I can't.” he brush off her hand from his suit and walk away leaving her at the banquet.

She scoff and then not long after she also take turn to return home.

….

”Are you going back?” Nigel asking Sydney, his girlfriend when he saw she pack all her belonging to her luggage.

”Yeah, baby. I had flight tomorrow, so I need to return now.” she kiss him when she done with her last dress being put into her luggage.

”But, it's Christmas. Can't you stay?” he ask again try to holding her back from leaving.
