You love him?

Angel turned around to call the waitress when her eyes met Ryan, coming in with a really beautiful lady. She was wearing an open-back sleeveless red dress with black heels.

They both sat opposite their table where Angel was directly facing Ryan.

Angel sat down slowly taking a large gulp of the red wine.

"He even drew out a chair for her?"

Angel began to burn in jealousy but she knew it would be unreasonable to ask him who she was.

Then Angel and Ryan's eyes met.

Angel then decided to play her own game. She placed her hand on Ethan's hand that was laying on the table.

After a long thought, she concluded that it would be stupid if she decides to play such a childish game, so she stood up and left the restaurant.

Ethan helped her with her bag which was now on the ground.

As soon as they got into Ethan's car Angel spoke "You should have allowed me drive my car"

Ethan had told his driver to take her car while they both took his. He stared at her "You love him?"

She nodded in affirmative. Ethan smiled before turning on the engine of the car.

The sky had already darkened and the stars were showing up in the sky. The street lights were on. The street had few people as everyone had gone to their houses.

Ethan carried Angel from the car in a bridal style. She was a deep sleeper so she didn't wake up.

He pressed the gate bell and it was opened by the gatekeeper as soon as he saw Angel in his arms.

The gatekeeper assisted in opening the door that led to the main mansion. Ethan walked in and was directed to Angel's room by the nanny.

Ethan placed her on the bed gently, he removed her shoes and covered her with the duvet.

He stared at her cute little face, using his right hand to remove the hair strands that were now in her face.

"She's beautiful..." he muttered with a smile. "But I can't have her" His smile faded instantly.

She was in love with someone else. This pained his heart so much.

He pleaded with his father to arrange a blind date with them both. He didn't expect her to love Ryan.

Author's comment: You must be wondering how he got to know Ryan.

Ethan was the only son of the Husthon family and was very cherished by his parents. He was brilliant, handsome, and hardworking, though he was as cold as ever.

He met her ten years ago when she was 16 years old. Angel was celebrating her sweet sixteen, it was a grand one.

Different tycoons were present as well as the Husthon family. Ethan who was tired of the party went out for a stroll. When he got to the garden near the hall, he met a little girl curled up on the ground crying.

He wanted to ignore and move but his conscience wouldn't let him "Why are you crying?" he asked in a hoarse voice.

She shook her head and looked back to the ground.

He sat next to her "Do you need money?"

Author's comment: That was a stupid question right?"

The girl laughed loudly "I have more than enough. My birthday party is presently going on in that hall" she pointed to the hall.

"What!! You are the celebrant?"

She nodded with a sad smile.

"Why are you crying?" He asked again. "I don't have to tell you right??". Ethan nodded before bringing out a tissue from his pocket "Use this."

She cleaned her face and then stood up "How do I look?" she dusted her butt which was filled with dirt.

"You look so beautiful"

"Really? Thanks, I have to go now" she said running off.

Since then he has been monitoring her but he never dared to come closer to her.

Ethan jerked back to reality when he heard a knock on the door "Can I have a word with you?"

He turned around and met her father.

Ring! Ring!

The alarm clock was ringing nonstop in Nora's little room. She moved her hands towards the alarm clock and hit it with all her strength. The clock was silenced immediately.

She turned to the other side and buried her head into the pillow "Urrgh! I don't want to stand up"

Ring! Ring!

This time it was her phone. She sluggishly picked up the call "Good morning, who is this?"

"Get here in ten minutes...and don't forget the documents or else..." she cut the call without making him finish his sentence.

"I'm I late?" she checked the time on her phone and saw it was just two minutes past six.

JUST TWO MINUTES PAST SIX? Her flight was at 6: 50 am.

She jumped up and ran to the bathroom.

***

"Welcome ma'am. You are twenty minutes and three seconds late. Do you have an explanation for that?" Jason greeted as he saw Nora running with her traveling bag in her arms.

"I'm sorry sir" that was all she could say.

She can't tell her boss that she was tired and didn't feel like getting up.
