Chapter Three : Mr philanthropist (1/2)
Nik's POV
Glaring at her I wondered how I got involved with a stubborn ass like her. I was in a bad mood and didn't need any form of disturbance but she's here disrupting every form of silence I needed
Sighing, I slumped back to my seat and let her have her way knowing arguing wouldn't lead me anywhere.
So just get her statement and she's out of your life forever.
I couldn't believe that moments ago, I was staring and admiring her curve plus I couldn't forget the shiver that went down my spine when she took my hand in a handshake.
She was definitely dangerous, the only person able to make him feel this way was my wife Kay during the good times but after everything went downhill, I swore off girls that made me feel that way. Trust and love were not on my agenda and probably, never will be till I become dust.
Even though Tina and I were a couple, I wasn't in love with her and she knows that. I just liked hanging out with her cause she's a good companion and she knows her place, she wasn't like other girls I dated who wanted me wrapped around their finger which I obviously wouldn't oblige to.
I disliked girls that wanted more than they could control. Greedy girls are the bane of my life and I avoid them at all costs. Moreover, Tina is great in bed which is the number one qualification in dating me. So I steer clear of good girls who want love not lust
The stubborn ass continued humming to an unknown tone and I had to admit even though I was all harsh and grumpy, she had a nice voice which helped relax my nerves on edge
”We're here ” My chauffeur announced while she took a sharp glance outside trying to confirm she was really in front of Royal Haven.
I chuckled inwardly, if only she knew I own the hotel she'll be screaming by now, shocked.
Well, who cares? All I need is her statement and I'm out of here before any of my employees recognizes me
Though I doubt they recognize me since I hardly visit this branch but who knows? Some of the female workers might have looked me up on the internet, secretly dreaming of a happily ever after with me.
Entering the hotel, I lowered my head a bit, sparsely glancing at the doorman who ushered me in with a greeting.
I saw stubborn ass at the reception desk probably making inquiries about her boyfriend. After a while, she turned towards me with a gloomy face but my phone chose that moment to ring.
Looking at the call I.D, I discovered it was the grumpy old man again
I answered with a stern voice ”What now?”
”You're running late,” he said and I hissed
”I'm caught up in some matters”
”Then hurry up, I want to meet Tina but I don't have all the time in the world”
”Fine,” I heaved and ended the call irritated. I tried to imagine the look on his face when he discovers I came alone. Well, he'll have to bear with me, I tried all my best to no avail
Turning around, stubborn ass slammed into my chest. She looked up and jerked away at once as if I'm poison ivy
”Sorry,” She said but I could smell the nervousness reeking off her when she said ”I didn't expect you to turn that moment”
I stared at her hard for a while not really getting her. Was she nervous she slammed into my chest or was she nervous not seeing her boyfriend? I couldn't tell
”Where's your Honey Pie? Ran away with another woman?” I never intended taunting her on purpose, just wanted to tease her a bit but the glare she gave me was murderous.
”Keep your toxic tongue to yourself” She hissed and looked away.
Good work Nik, you just made her angry
”I'm sorry” The words rolled off my tongue before I could stop it. She just gave me a sideways glance over her shoulder, scoffed, and looked away once more.
At least, I apologized
”Maybe you should give me your statement so I can leave and you can wait for your sweetheart ”
