CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO
The following week, Desi prepared for school. She had made up her mind to focus on school after she quit modeling. She was in her second year and she hadn't been focusing on school lately.
She drove her car to school. Michael had offered to have the driver take her to school with a better car, but she refused. She wasn't about to let the whole world know she was married to a rich man.
She attended classes like normal. No friends to talk to or hang out with.
After having her first class for the day, she decided to go to a nearby restaurant to have lunch. She ordered pasta. And started gobbling it down immediately. She didn't stop eating till the plate was empty. She ordered another plate and finished it again. She was about to eat her cake as dessert when she heard someone talk to her.
"I've never seen a beauty eat like this, you must be a unique one." She heard. Looking up she saw a guy who didn't look like he was from Country B.
"Hello." She said with a smile. And wiped her mouth with a napkin. The guy pulled a seat opposite her and said.
"May I?" Asking for permission to sit with her.
"Of course." Desi said. She didn't mind his company.
"I know you, you are Desiree Le grande." He said.
Desi laughed and a chocolate on the cake smeared on her upper lips.
"Everyone knows me. It's just that they are scared of striking a conversation with me. But, you my friend, is an exception."
"I'm Felix Norberto."
Desi laughed at the name. She was right after all. This guy wasn't from this place.
"So, are you a student here?" She asked.
"Yes, I'm an English student." he said.
"I see, I'm a psychology student."
"Oooooooo Miss psychic, help me tell my fortune." He said, acting all interested. Which made Desi laugh.
Squeezing her face and acting magical she said.
"Oh Felix, you are going to get hit by someone now."
Before he could register to what she said he felt a smack on his head. Desi had hit him! Seeing the expression on his face Desi laughed out again!
Rubbing his head he said.
"That's not fair!" Making baby faces like he was about to cry.
"That's it my darling, Life isn't fair." She said with almost a serious face.
"I gotta go, it was nice meeting you Felix Norberto." She said getting ready to leave.
"Wait a second." He said. He took out his white handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the chocolate above her lips.
"Thank you Felix. She said and left.
"You are welcome, Desiree Le grande, he murmured almost to himself. As he watched her retreating figure. A tinge of admiration could be seen in his eyes. Then, his phone rang.
He answered the call, after which a very expensive car pulled up in front of the restaurant and he got in. Not, without clearing Desi's bill. That was why she had left in a hurry and he knew. He smiled to himself at the back of the car. "Cunning little vixen" he muttered under his breath.
Desi continued to run without looking behind. She panted heavily. It wasn't everyday that you see someone to eat from. And today was her one lucky day. She wasn't going to let that guy catch up with her. Oh poor boy! She thought.
She knew he wouldn't get into trouble. She had checked the wrist watch he was putting on and saw that it was a limited edition. The guy was rich. So he wouldn't die clearing her measly bills, right?
She finally made her to the class to continue her lectures for the day. She had quite an adventure. She had to visit mom today. She didn't really miss her that much, she missed her cooking!
KINGSTON'S Corporation.
"Sir a foreign company has entered Country B."
Humphrey reported.
"No Company enters without going through me." Michael answered.
"It's an entertainment Company sir. It's headed by the one Norberto family. They don't seem like a threat sir."
"Alright Humphrey, just keep an eye on them."
When Humphrey left. He sank into his seat. A lot had happened lately. He had a wife, who cared less about him. What was with this Le grande girl? Every girl, in and outside the country adored him. But, this one..... Well it was for the best. He wouldn't like any emotional complications when the time comes.
