Be careful with feelings

"We'd better eat now. I'm not forcing you to answer now," Alexander said about putting the ring box on the table but Daisy stopped him.

"I'll take it," Daisy said quickly.

"You mean you want to be my girlfriend?" Alexander confirmed.

"Yeah..." Daisy nodded her head. "I don't think there is any reason for me to reject you. You are too good to me even though you know how bad I am... So I will accept you and be your girl who will always make you happy."

Alexander smiled faintly, slightly lowering his head with his gaze fixed on the ring in the box. "If you accept me because I've done a lot of things for you, it's as if you had to," he said, looking at Daisy again.

"This is not out of compulsion at all, and I can't just say that I love you because it takes time to create chemistry between us," Daisy said with a reassuring look. "All this time I only felt comfortable around you because you were always gentle...I wish it could be love... I'm sure it could happen," she continued.

"Are you serious?" asked Alexander.

Daisy nodded.

"You will learn to love me even though there are many men who might seduce you?" Alexander confirmed.

"Of course ... I will only try to love you without opening my heart or being attracted to other men," Daisy said very seriously. Whether it was a play or not, she certainly didn't seem to want to let Alexander give up just like that. "Why would I be attracted to another man when a good man is already in front of me? Wouldn't it be better if I learned to love him? It seems very easy because the man is very handsome and full of tenderness."

Alexander smiled brightly because this was the first time Daisy had praised him.

"Now I have to beg you to believe me," Daisy said with a reassuring smile.

"I believe you," said Alexander, then immediately put the diamond ring on Daisy's ring finger. after that, he stood up, leaned toward the girl, and kissed her forehead. "I love you," he said.

"Thank you," said Daisy.

Alexander sat back quietly and immediately started eating steak while enjoying the quiet atmosphere with the violin sound that continued to echo. occasionally he glanced at Daisy who was casually eating steak, as if not impressed with what she was given.

'Maybe I should always be patient because she's still stone-hearted. I'm sure once she's in love, she'll always be loyal,' he thought, trying to stay optimistic.

"By the way, I can't drive a car," Daisy said, breaking the silence.

"I expected that," said Alexander with a faint smile.

"Then why did you buy a car for me?"

"Because I wanted to..."

"But that means the car won't be used because I don't know how to drive ... It's just like you're wasting your money," said Daisy and then went back to eating the steak.

Alexander cut the steak, then pierced it with a fork and handed it to Daisy.

Daisy immediately devoured it.

"You don't have to worry...I will ask Richard to stop being a security officer because I will ask him to always be loyal to help you including taking you wherever you want to go. Just think of him as your assistant," said Alexander casually.

Instantly Daisy choked...

Uhhhh ....uhukk.....

Alexander immediately stood up, approached Daisy, and gave her a drink.

Daisy immediately drank, remembering Richard who had expressed his love for her before Alexander. she couldn't believe that Alexander had trusted Richard to be her assistant.

'Maybe if he knew that Richard was a man who was once my customer, maybe he wouldn't have done this,' she thought.

"Are you okay, baby?" asked Alexander, bending slightly and touching Daisy's shoulder.

Daisy just nodded.

Alexander sat back in his chair, continuing to eat occasionally interspersed with drinking champagne which was provided in a beautiful glass.

"Why do you want Richard to be my assistant? Don't you have any other candidates besides him?" Daisy asked.

"Nothing because only he is the best because he can take care of you and do whatever you want," replied Alexander.

. Daisy nodded, then remembered that Richard had once intended to take her out of the city.

"Aren't you afraid if Richard takes me away from this city? I'm afraid he'll be tempted because I'm beautiful that he wants to take me away," she said confidently, and of course, surprised that Alexander trusted Richard and herself so much.

"That will not happen because he is a very loyal assistant," said Alexander.

"How can you be so sure?" Daisy asked with a faint smile. "Aren't you afraid he'll take me away while you're in California?" she asked again.

"If he does that, then I will let it happen," Alexander replied casually. "If he takes you away it means you are also willing and it means you don't want to be with me anymore. From the start I didn't say that I wouldn't force people to be with me ... So, I will let it happen," he continued.

"Won't you be sad?" Daisy asked.

."Very sad but it would be sadder if I was with you but you want to run away from me," Alexander replied.

Daisy smiled faintly, looking at Alexander who always showed that he gave her freedom. she wanted to believe it but she thought this was all just a way to make her feel reluctant to leave him.

"I'm not going to do that because I'm not a girl who doesn't know how to thank you," she said then cut the steak, then stabbed it with a fork. she brought the steak to Alexander saying "after all why did I bother running away when you have given me everything I need. This is a complete package... there's no way I'm leaving."

Alexander devoured the steak, then ate it up. he smiled because he felt he had managed to keep Daisy from turning away from him. The man drank too

Champagne for a moment then stood up and walked over to the girl.

"Come dance with me," he said, holding out his hand to Daisy.

"Okay... .maybe it would be fun," Daisy said, took Alexander's hand, and stood up.

Alexander led Daisy into the middle of the hall, then the music started to echo as the violinists left the place. .they danced to Lana Del Rey's song Gun and Rose.

"Have you ever danced like this before?" asked Alexander.

"A few times," replied Daisy, wrapping her arms around Alexander's neck.

"With a boyfriend or a customer?" asked Alexander again.

"Always a customer because I've never had a boyfriend before," replied Daisy, looking at Alexander who was also staring at her very intensely.

Alexander smiled. "So I'm your first boyfriend?"

"Yes."

"I'm so lucky," Alexander said, then kissed Daisy's lips gently.

.Daisy just resigned herself to letting Alexander's tongue explore her lips. she closed her eyes, trying to enjoy the kiss and the intimacy that made her comfortable, but suddenly she thought back to her childhood when her father left her mother just like that. the thought made her end the kiss immediately and convinced herself not to get too carried away with Alexander's charms.
