Elanie's pov

I came back to my senses when he pulls a chair for me to sit. My panicking resurface again and before I can stop myself hands move on their own to grab his arm .

" I'm not supposed to be here." I worriedly said because I really am not suitable for this place.

" Please can we go now?" I added, then I notice that he is not looking at me and I follow his gaze which is on my hands that are holding his left arm. I gasp realizing my act and I remove my hold on him as fast as I can .

" I'm sorry I didn't mean to.... I ... " feeling defeated I look around realizing that we are the only one inside somehow I feel a bit relief from that.

" Hmmmm. Please have a sit " he said as he gesture his hands towards the empty chair he pulls for me.

" T..Thank you" I whispered and take a sit stiffly while looking intently on the empty plate in front of me.

He calls for the waiter to serve the food which I pressume he already order beforehand . The silence is bugging me .

" Hmm May I know why did you bring me here ?" I ask softly almost a whisper only enough for him to hear me. Still looking at the plate I don't want I mean I can't look at him right now.

" I'll be true to you " He sigh as I hear him say that my heart suddenly beats so loud that I think even him can hear it. I didn't say a word because I can't utter a word to say anything so I only wait for him to continue.

" First reason is that I want to apologize after last night" He said his voice is unwaivering and deep. " Secondly is that I want you to know that I want to woe you not just to be your friend" I gulp and suddenly look at him in surprise in his straightforwardedness . He smiled at my reaction.

" Thirdly I want you to know how serious I am " he added. I'm speechless and my mind turns black . I almost cried out loud and thanked the waiter when he comes to serve us though I don't think I can even eat aside from this luxurious environment his words keep on rewinding on my head.

" You don't need to say anything now . Lets eat first" Wait what did he say eat first so after we eat I need to answer him? I frown. " I mean to say that You can answer me anytime soon as I court you. "

" How did you?" I ask looking surprised at him .

" Its written in your face " he smiled I feel my blood rush through my face in embarrassement .

We eat in silence with my mind floating until we finished our foods. As soon as we're through I can't help to ask the question which been bothering me .

" Why? Why is it me?" I ask looking straight at him. He seems taken aback for a while before he smiled again . That smile will be a problem soon.

" Because its you" he said and shrug say what? My jaw drop not knowing what to say and not understanding how this mans mind works.

" This is not right you are someone who is out of reach of someone like me who is nobody" I said while frowning . After I said those words a flash of anger pass through his gaze before it soften.

" That's not nor true. You are not a nobody" He said as if he knows something I didn't that makes me frown even more.

" No this makes no sense at all " I said and stand up to leave .

" Ela wait" I didn't stop and fasten my steps almost running just to leave here.

As I manage to go outside I continue to walk and call for a taxi because I know this place is a bit far from home. As a taxi stops in front of me before I can open it someone pulls my right arm by holding my wrist with his firm but not so tight grip and end up close to the man I'm trying to run away to when he pulls me towards him.

Our closeness gives my heart a reason to beat so fast which makes me think is it suddenly going to stop ? This is bad , really bad for my brain and for my heart.

" I'm driving you home" he said without waiting for my answer he pulls me towards his car opening the passenger seat pushing me a bit inside a sign that I can't say no and as I seat on it he close the door and runs toward the driver seat.

If I am going to think right now by looking at him on how he acts I wont think that he is a CEO of one of the biggest company in the country. His a billionaire for heavens sake. So why me? Of all the girls tht he can have why someone like me? Even If I dig deeper in my brain I can't think of even one reason for him to have interest in me.

I just look outside the window during the drive silently thinking of my current situation which I don't know how I end up being here .
