Chapter 22 — Making the selfish man fall in love

" Miss Lazaros, please assist table 10 ", Manager Tan commanded her.

" Yes, madam" she obediently commends.

She walks towards table 10, where there's a guy quietly sit alone. His broad back facing her, and his manly aura sounds inviting her to see what good-looking face he possessed. She thought that he was rich and powerful if people base on his composure and state of clothing.

" Hi, sir! Good noon", she greets him in cheerfulness. Her smile suddenly fades after she finally recognizes his good-looking countenance.

Gosh! He's William.

She never expects that he will go there ordering some cheap dish.

Does he know that she's working here?

" This is the menu." She felt clouded to see him this day.

He sounds, " ahem " before he handed the menu.

William handed the menu at the same time as William intentionally touches her fingers. She hid her hand behind her back while she's trying to be calm.

His magical hands give her millions of bolts of electro, producing a sudden sense of thrilling excitement. She knows that she hates William but his stares have arisen diverse flow of energy throughout her system.

" Szechwan chicken and Jiaozi," he ordered. She noted it.

" Is there another you want to add? " she inquired. William looks at her in amazement.

" Water, " he added.

He really likes her outfit. It makes her more cute and sexy.

" Wait for 10 minutes, sir", she gracefully replied. She was about to leave but William suddenly spake.

" Don't you miss your children?" He asked. She took a deep breath, go back to face him.

" I miss them, of course. Even if I beg you that I want to be with them, you won't let me either", she firmly concluded.

" What if, I give you a chance to be with them?” Lilian seriously eyed him.

" What thing you wish in return?" She inquires without hesitation.

She knew men's tricky moves. Men don't want to lose when it comes to settlement or something.

William was inevitably shaking his head, smile in awe. His ex-wife seems to have a different aura today. He likes how she answered.

" After your contract with Demetri, go back to me, and I will give you favorable rights as a mother," William replied without hesitation. Lilian laughed softly.

" All right. I don't have a problem with that," she answered quickly and left with a smile.

If she goes back to his side, she will suffer even more. He will be going to manipulate her as what he likes to do with her.

Damn! I don't want to become a puppet again under men's supervision. All I need is my children.

She returned to William's table with his order.

" You look even better now," he commented.

Lilian is really beautiful. Before, she just wasn’t confident to show off that to others. Thanks to Demetri, he taught her how to act like a lady. Envy to himself, he is just insensitive and selfish due to her simplicity full of beauty, which makes him more afraid to lose Lilian.

There's a lot of sharks in the sea, they are ready to devour the whole woman like his ex-wife.

" Thank you, President Gritson", she said and walked.

William's eyes followed to her sexy back, graceful but inviting demeanor. She's acting differently now but for him, she was still Lilian. The woman he will continue to love even if her attention is already on another man.

He turned his gaze at Demetri, who had just entered. Their eyes met before he looks for his seat. He immediately noticed Lilian approaching him. He turned his hand into a fist.

Flames of jealousy shot through him. Clever pity to him glowed with Demetri's face. He really meant to make him jealous.

-

While Lilian and Demetri were on the trip, Lilian couldn’t help but laugh. She didn't know why she seemed to enjoy watching William being jealous. She could clearly see the redness on his cheek from annoyance and jealousy.

That was the first time she noticed him in simmered of jealousy.

" Good job, Lilian. Now you know what the result of your training is," Demetri broke the silence. Lilian just smiled.

" This weekend, you have another training. But, unlike with the training you encountered, this is different and thrilling," he seriously indicated.

She glimpses at him in uncertainty.

" Are you going to teach me using bondages and whipping?" she nervously questioned.

"Are you afraid?" He mocked inquires then leered. She gulped with anxiety.

" If you know how to be dominant, you can indulge men you like. Don't you know that 2% of the men in the world love pain before pleasure? When you try such a thing, Lilian, I’m sure you’ll like the result too,” Demetri said in a lunatic tone.

She wasn't ready for such a thing yet.

" Get ready. Before I teach you...you will be going under my punishment first," he added in a serious tone.

He laid his warm palm upon her exposed leg. She took his hand and shooed it.

" I can't understand you anymore, Demetri. What do you really want to do?" she asked the man beside in a confusing tone.

He brings forth his face, hoarsely whispered at her.

" I'm helping you to be brave, taking risks isn't a bad option. It can boost your intellectual, strategies of controlling someone with your own hand," he demonstrated through the action of his long fingers turned into a firm fist.

He looks at her with his intimidating eyes, and killer smile.

" Do you understand?"

" I don't understand," she replied idly. He let out a sigh of frustration before he cackled.

" Most of the time, use your brain. Don't impose how you feel," he reprimanded but Lilian didn't listen.

She just laid her head on his shoulder, so he was a bit shock and looked at her.

" Demetri, don't order me too much with things I'm not used to. Honestly, I don't want to change myself. If it's not just because of you... I'm not doing this," she sincerely stated while looking at his compelling eyes.

Without a doubt, she wrapped her arms to his warm sturdy trunk, once her eyes close.

" Can we stay like this, please?" she tiredly request while comfortably hugging his firm body.

Demetri secretly smiled and he smelled the fragrant scent of her sleek hair. Her essence is like the scent of paradise. He doesn't know what is love, but Lilian starting to plant it inside his soul.

No! I don't want to fall in love! But, what if I failed to stop my heart to love her?

He wanted to separate from Lilian but her hug tightened around his waist. So he just gulped and restrained himself from pushing her away. Suddenly his chest throbbed as much as he thought.

Demetri escorted her to her unit. It was strange for he was just standing in the doorway. There is no such thing as emotion and facial expression on his face. She waved in front of his face, and that makes his return to himself.

" I n-need to go. Good night," he stammered says goodbye.

He was almost left but she called his name.

" Demetrius," she uttered. He paused and glimpsed at her.

She walks towards him and gave him a peck of a kiss on the lips.

" Good night. Have a sweet dream," she said smiling whilst lightly touching his thin red lips.

She goes back inside to her unit, uncontrollably shows her romantically excited smile.
