Chapter Three : Mr philanthropist (2/2)
I said but she was looking another way, exactly at a couple making out at a secluded corner of the lobby
I stared at the couple wondering why she was so interested in them but thought otherwise when I saw her lips trembling. Then I knew there was something definitely wrong.
Before I could stop her, she already dragged her feet towards the couple. Standing in front of them, they didn't notice her until she called a name and the man turned.
I noticed the man flinch with his eyes almost bulging out of its sockets. Then a hard slap met his cheek and I figured out everything at once.
She just caught her sugar pie cheating on her, how surprising.
The guy glared at her and held her hand when she intended giving him a second slap
”Don't you dare” he growled, slapping her hand away
”How could you?” She asked while choking on her words, blinking her eyes as she tried to stop the tears threatening to spill
”I've should've broken up with you months ago but I just took pity on your pathetic self cause you depended on me so much”
Ouch ! the idiot confessed. My prediction was definitely right
”What?”
”Look at you Maya, you're not even hot and sexy like your sister. You're just shapeless and... and.... nothing. You don't even have a stable job, just trying to find a spot in the entertainment industry nor do you dress prettily cause you don't have enough cash at hand. What guy in his right senses would be interested in you?”
I balled my hands into fists, how could that rag of a being still occupy earth's oxygen? I tried stepping in but a crowd was already gathering. knowing stepping in was going to mean scandal, I stayed put.
It was obvious If I ever step in, I was going to beat the fear of God into that guy, and have the paparazzi following me the next day come news and gossip columns.
So I'll just deal with him in the secret without anyone noticing, not even the broken-hearted girl.
Suddenly, I saw stubborn ass flee the scene with hands pressed to her lips. She was probably crying which I'm not a huge fan of but who cares? The girl's in pain
Leaving the hotel, I got to the car before she could and helped her in.
”Drive” I commanded my chauffeur with no destination in mind. She sat with a trembling hand to her mouth muffling her cries while her shoulder shook violently
”You should stop crying,” I said to her and she lifted red bleary eyes at me asking me tearfully ”How could you be so heartless?”
I glanced at her, my face forming a frown ”Alright then cry and tell me what it solved ”I retorted and she stared at me for a while before looking away.
”You should be strong and pay him back in his own coin. Make him regret ever leaving you”I encouraged her hoping she was going to lit up a bit but it didn't work
”How?!” She snapped flinging her hands in frustration ”I'm nothing, I don't have anything, I'm broke, I'm not pretty and I don't even have a stable job. So, tell me how?” She croaked
I smiled and she cast me a confused look.
”Then stick by me and I'll make all your dreams come true”
She stared hard at me trying to comprehend what I just said. I guessed she was thinking I was certainly bluffing when an idea suddenly popped up in my head
”For the start, I'll pay you a hundred thousand dollars if you'll agree to be my date for tonight”
I saw her eyes fly open alongside her mouth and asked startled ”A hundred thousand dollars just to be your date for a night?” She asked in disbelief
”Yes,” I answered, ”To be precise, a fake date” I corrected, totally knowing the offer was too tempting to be turned down.
Moreover, helping damsels in distress is my forte, my own special way of helping mankind. So there wasn't any special reason why I helped her. So I thought
