(Chapter 114) A Local Coffee Shop

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn her! How can such a bitch get so many supporters!? What does she have they I don't? Money? Looks? Nothing!" Meanwhile, Louise was throwing anything she could find in her room.

As a woman in her mid-twenties and in the entertainment industry, she should have moved out of her house. But since her uncle was the boss, and she was so spoilt. She was at home, waiting for the marriage request for her dream man to be accepted instead...

Louise threw her pillow at the door in anger, then she felt her phone buzz in her hands, and looked down in interest.

She then felt her anger dissipate, and a smile appeared on her face. She was a good-looking lady, just one with a temper and poor attitude. So seeing the smile, many men would be interested.

But she only had her eyes for one man. She saw him at a banquet her father took her on once years ago. He was stoic, cold, but was a dream man for a woman. Rich, handsome, but also distant. Something many dreamed to chase, but didn't dare.

But she dared. She immediately wanted her dad to send over a marriage proposal between her and him. They were both in richer families, something like this wasn't all that rare. She was smart, had good looks, and was rich herself. Their family wouldn't lose out on anything.

That was when she learned however, that she couldn't get everything she demanded. At 15 years old, she was told she couldn't marry the man she wanted, since his grandfather had promised to allow him to make the decision himself.

She was irate that day, the day turned into a week. And then... She had a brilliant thought.

If she was a popular superstar... One honored and looked up to by everyone, then he wouldn't reject her right? One seen as the pinnacle of beauty would be a perfect match for a man as perfect as him.

So that was when she went into the entertainment industry under her uncle. And she built up the persona of an angelic, beautiful and untouchable woman.

Despite hinting several times she had a crush on someone, the person she truly was waiting for... Never came, until she met him a few years later...

This time, he was very similar, apart from he seemed to distance himself even further from women! And her heart couldn't take his face even from a distance.

She had a desire to have that man! The new Master of the Guilliano family... Lewis Guilliano!

And the message she just received, was a message from her father's spy in his business. Apparently, the banquet being held by Mr. Tuhs, a mysterious figure. Was also going to include the very man she was chasing, and along with a special announcement!

She was confident in her self-deluded mind. Who else would Lewis Guilliano be with other than her?

Louise then quickly made an appointment for a stylist on the same day and sank herself into her dreams. Not realizing the trap she was going to walk herself into...

.......

Leone woke up with a massive smile on his face, after he had confirmed his feelings and... Kissed Francesca, he then suddenly backtracked, not wanting to do anything right then.

He then blushfully confessed, and seeing Francesca's red face, he just said he would wait for her. And then went home, just as Mr. Di Rui came in through the door.

Leone looked down at his phone with an absent-minded look on his face, while his dormmates looked at each other with strange faces.

"Why is Leone looking at his phone so much? Is he waiting for a call?" One of them asked in a whisper.

"Definitely, I heard he ran away yesterday because he got a call from a girl! He is hiding his girlfriend from us! The other replied in a louder voice.

As soon as he said that, Leone's phone buzzed, causing everyone, including Leone, to look at the phone.

Seeing Leone's wide and intoxicated smile, the other boys felt like throwing up. As Leone quickly typed something, and then stood up.

"Call me sick, I've got somewhere to be." Leone said with a wide smile, as he walked past his bewildered dormates.

"See!? He definitely has a date." As they all were very surprised, they didn't get to call in Leone sick...

.......

Lewis took Astrid to a local cafe, he had been a little interested in food and drinks since he had been with Astrid more often. Causing him to do more research into such places than before.

The barista on shift was stunned seeing the handsome man walk in with a woman looking like a supermodel! She felt blessed to see such a couple walk in the shop today...

"Afternoon! What would you like today?" The barista was very professional, although she liked handsome men, she could very easily see the two in front of her were in a relationship.

She watched as the tall supermodel coyly whispered into the handsome man's ear. Even she felt a blush coming onto her face, seeing the man like back at her with just a small frown, she felt her heart ripple.

'Is something wrong? Did the woman say something to upset her boyfriend?' The barista was quickly losing her favor in the man, the ideal boyfriend wouldn't look at his girlfriend with such a frown...

"Is that all your having? You'll be hungry later if you don't eat more." But the soft, but childing words that came out of his mouth. Confirmed their wonderful relationship in front of the barista's eyes.

The woman then pouted, she looked a little embarrassed in the barista's trained eyes. "Fine, order what you want then." Her voice was very melodic... But then the barista noticed something.

She didn't look before, but wasn't that woman's eye...

"Sorry for the time we took... Can we have 2 lily classics please? Then can we have 2 of each of your snacks on menu." The man ordered with a subtle smile.

"... Of course, it might take some time for the items to be delivered through sir..." The barista then felt strange, was this normal for the woman to eat?

Seeing the handsome man hold the woman's hand and gently rub her hand, the barista felt she was watching a rom-con! "That's no problem, we apologize for the inconvenience." The handsome man then placed money on the counter in advance!

The barista looked at the note... And almost fainted. "S-Sir... We can't..." The barista panicked and looked up, only to see the calm smiled on both the couple's faces.

"Take it and keep the change, it's my way of apologizing for the inconvenience I'm causing." The woman then spoke, with her powerful, but also melodic voice the barista took another glance at her eye...

It was a crimson red surrounded by a pitch black. Once the barista saw the eye, she could immediately say it was the woman's most defining feature, despite her having the body of a supermodel!

"O-Okay, please. Make yourselves comfortable." The barista couldn't help but look away, this order would be very inconvenient, but they were heavily overpaying as well!

Astrid and Lewis both sat down in the corner, as they got their coffees they both started at each other in contentment.
