Chapter 11

I don't know how I will feel. I think our parents really went far with this arranged marriage and why Blade agreed even though he has a spouse. That's not right. Is business more important than love or is he like me doing what his parents want.

I walked away and I didn't understand what Mom said, but I heard a bit. She said that dinner was ready, but I ignored it and I went straight to my room with a simple design with lamp clouds and I lit the this is when I can enter

I don't know why I'm so guilty that I've or we've done something like that.

I said to myself while messing up my hair, "I can't stay like this because I have to loosen up. My training as his secretary will start a few days from now, so I don't have to think to

"This should work, common Karla, pick it up." I said to myself as I sat on my bed.

It takes a few seconds for her to answer, and I'm getting impatient because I want to go out now.

"Hello, girl?" It says that something sounds in the background, as if they are in a bar.

Where are you? Are you with Clarize? "

"Wait, I can't hear you. I'll just go out."

He said and walked away again from where he was. While he was doing that, I went to my closet to pick some clothes.

"What did you say?" it says.

Where are you? And if Clarize is with you, I said to her on the other line while looking at a dress to wear.

"He is with me and we are here at Resto Bar, 3 blocks from your husband's company building."

"What's wrong?" it added.

"There's no problem; I'll invite you to the bar right there."

I put my phone on loud speaker so I could talk to him while I changed into my chosen clothes.

Okay, message me when it's close, we'll pick you up at the entrance with quite a lot of people.

And bring your glasses, because who knows what else people will think when they see you here?Bye "

She said, and I couldn't answer, it was already 10 p.m. Thankfully, there was no curfew for us. When I got my fitted dress with a spaghetti strap design on the back and a pair of high-heeled sandals, I was ready to go.

I just opened the gate to Edson our guard and I didn't use the car that Blade gave me, I used Mom's car. I don't know a bit of habit that I don't use what the person gave me, especially when I feel some sort of distance to them.

When I arrived at the Resto Bar, I sent a message to Karla saying that I was in the front of the bar, the sunglasses I was wearing were clear, the black was too suspicious, maybe later the butler wouldn't let me in.

"You're Alessia Rae Williams, right?" A man asked me

I didn't know it, but he flashed me with his gray, messy hair, blue eyes, and fair skin. But I shouldn't be shaken, but I think that's fine. We are sort of married just through papers.

Have we met before? If yes, I don't think if I caught your name "

I'm Dred Dwanson. Karla and I were your classmates in college.

He said as he held out his hand and I reached for it.

"Yeah, you've changed a lot." Nice to meet you again."I laughed once. "Dred."

"The pleasure is mine." He said it and kissed my hand.

I don't know why I went with him when I was supposed to meet my friends here. When I suddenly had a chance, he suddenly invited me inside.

"You go ahead." I held him and pulled his hand down on my waist.

He was surprised at what I did and put both his hands in his pocket.

Why are you waiting for something? I thought you were alone. "

He said, referring to the distance we had earlier, I'm glad he noticed.

"Karla and Clariz said they would pick me up out here." I said while looking inside while my nasal abas

Oh, they are here too. We can wait. He said and flashed a gorgeous smile.

I was surprised that someone held me and Karla turned out to be you.

I'm sorry you're here. Clar and I were dramatizing—"he interrupted when he turned his face to the side next to me.

"Dred!!!!!!" Karla said in a shrill voice that made me laugh, and she looked at me.

Same, I didn't know him either. He turned into a fine young man. I said

And we went inside. This is a fresh start. Forgetting what I'd learned earlier,

When we got in, Karla was right, there were so many people. Everyone was hyped up. It was Monday, but the people looked burned out. When we got to the table, I noticed that Clarize was not there.

"I'm also looking for him, you know, even though he used to suddenly go to another table." said Karla.

"I'll leave you first." He told us and left.

I ordered a cocktail to start with, and Dred ordered beer.

We were talking about what happened way back in college.

"But the serious contact lenses you use now are no longer thick glasses."

"Yes, it's a bit up too."

We both laughed and seemed tipsy that the two hadn't returned yet.

"I upgraded the look because I wanted to impress you." It was said with one hand on the shoulder.

Really, even if you don't look like that, I'll impress you because you're so good at academies. I told him

Then he suddenly pulled me into a hug.

"I know you're married, but once the deal of your marriage is off, can you be mine?" In a solemn tone, he stated.

When he gave space to our hug and his face was starting to come to, I don't know why I turned a blind eye, but I felt the man was no longer in front of me and when I opened my eyes, I saw Dred on the floor with blood on his lower lip.
