Rejected

Helena arrived at the restaurant where she is meeting Cade, she is lucky that she is wearing a dress for this kind of restaurant or she will be denied entry.

The upscale restaurant is located at the north side of the city, a valet bow and opened her car door. For a minute the man was stunned to see Helena coming out of her driver seat. Years of professionals experience encounter beautiful woman did not give away his admiring gazed to her.

Her knee length matte royal blue dress with gold floral designs on the bottom of her dress makes her skin look more glowing.

Her eyes are no longer hidden from the world, she will just get used to the staring from everyone.

With a confidence she walked with her head held high to the reception in front of her.

"Ms Lee"

she turned her head to see Anwar is waiting for her outside the glass door on the right of the reception high desk.

"Mr. Tang" she nodded slightly and smiled to the reception that still staring at her.

Anwar saw something different in her today, oh yes her eyes.

"Stop staring, i don't wear my contact lenses today"

Anwar snapped from his gazed and his face redden. He is not sure why this woman managed to make him shy every time he saw her. Hearing the words she spoke, he realized Helena has a different color pupils, that is rare.

They walked in the private room and she saw Cade clad in his business suit. The dark blue vest and a white shirt makes him look dashing. His sleeves is roll slightly exposing veins on his arm and a Rolex with diamond embedded around the watch is on his right wrist, the manly sight of this man can send woman into a whirlpool drowned with Ecstacy.

His sharp jaw and high bridge nose is a sight unseen. Helena is indifferent to it, she has met a fair share of good looking man, some she has to kill. Nothing can arouse her interest anymore. Being diagnosed with condition called DemiSexual has made her almost immune to any temptations of lust around her. She will only be able to have an intimate relation with someone she has a strong emotional connections.

She took a seat in front of Cade and her lips curved without any expressions.

Cade saw her eyes and was equally stunned like Anwar when he saw it for the first time as well. Helena is getting used to people expressions whenever they saw her eyes. She clasped her fingers together and supported her chin with it.

"Hi Mr Anderson" she started the conversation not wanting to waste anytime.

A soft knocked was heard and Anwar opened the door letting the waitress in with few dishes, a plate was put in front of her and she saw the fatty circle dishes and frowned.

Cade has taken a liberty to order a food for her and its a food that she despise its origin.

She waited until the waitress and Anwar left before pushing aside the plate to her left.

"I don't come here to eat" her sharp eyes did not show a bit of interest to be there any longer than she needs too.

"Eat first.. they have the best foie gras in the country" Cade eats casually not taking regards of Helena displeasure at this point. He wanted to torment her.

"I don't eat foie gras" she crossed her arm.

Her actions are misinterpret by Cade, he sees her like a child throwing a tantrum not wanting to eat something they never try.

"This is foie gras..." before he continue Helena interrupted him.

"I don't eat any animals that forced fed just so they can be fatten up and their liver is taken for foolish humans to enjoy it and pay a high price for it" she scoffed in disdain.

Cade stop chewing as soon as he heard Helena remarks, no one knows what is he thinking as of now. He placed his cutlery back on the table and take the napkin to dap around the corner of his mouth.

"Speak what you want then" he placed the napkin back on to the table.

"I am not going to marry you anymore"

His face darken for a second.. 'this woman is a bit on the bipolar side isn't she' he crossed his arm and stare at her like a dagger.

"Your grandfather wanted me to marry you, because he despise the secretary of yours. He believes she is not on par when it comes about your potential"

"And you do?" He asked.

"Its not wealth background Mr. Anderson, is the person itself, she is a weak woman, and attempt on your life is on a daily basis, as I'm walking in here earlier, i can see few men hiding and blending in the crowd with their eyes never leaving the directions of this room. One of the waitress looks like she doesn't even belong here, i assume that is one of your minion as well?" She questioned him.

Cade was a bit startled before he composed himself, his men are all highly skills bodyguard he personally choose, no one ever noticed his shadows whenever he goes anywhere, and Helena point every single of them out.

"My adopted father owe your grandfather a favor and he is claiming it though marriage. At first i don't mind of the idea, as long as we stay away from each other, i will still live normally and doesn't need to deal with you. However your little girlfriend send 2 men to follow me and try to scare me away" she looked at her fingers and looked at Cade as she mention Molly to see his reaction.

"Molly is not my girlfriend"

"It doesn't matter to me, your life is a mess, and i intend not to be part of this, if you would like to be with her, train her to protect herself, that is what your grandfather hated the most, you risking your life to protect her, and i agreed with him, no one can protect someone better than themselves" as she spoke the last sentences, the door was opened and 2 tall equally good looking man is walking in.
