Chereads / Her Darling CEO / Chapter 22 - Blind date

Chapter 22 - Blind date

"He won't like it." Jenny said walking inside the room.

"Okay then."

The sun had shone long ago but Adira just woke up. Touching the bed, she searches for Jenner but couldn't find her on the bed.

Picking up her phone from the bed stand, she checks the time.

"Two o'clock, what the heck???" Adira muttered, standing up hurriedly. She runs into the bathroom. Picking up her brush, she enters under the shower.

She tries hard to brush well and also take her bath at the same time. Though she didn't want to go for the date but she had to because of Jenner.

After taking her bath, she dries her hair and begins to dress up in the black gown Jenner had bought.

In a huge office

"You have a dinner meeting by three o'clock sir." Fredrick says to the man sitting on the swivel chair behind the mahogany desk.

The desk was very wide, containing a number of files that he was going through at the time.

It had an encryption of 'CEO LIAM' on a glass template. He sat down not sparing Fredrick a glance.

"Who is hosting this 3pm dinner??" He asked mockingly.

"Ermmm, your... da-te is." Fredrick answered stuttering.

"Hmmm, tell them I am busy."

"Your grand father said I should tell you that if you don't leave then he will come and meet you here." Fredrick said bravely. When it came to grand father Roux, he knew Liam always does what he wants most times.

"Remind me 30 minutes later." Liam says turning back to concentrate on his work.

"But.... by thirty minutes it will be very late we are only 10 minutes away from the time.

Standing up, he buttoned his suit. Walking confidently, ten inches away from his first step.

"I thought you might have gone." Jenner says wearing a change of clothes.

"I was waiting for you." Adira says sipping her drink while looking at Jenner.

"We are not going to the same place. Get going, my brother will be so mad at me." Jenner begins to push Adira out of the house.

Taking her purse with her , she calls a cab.

Reaching the hotel, she walks inside in elegant steps.

"Private room ordered by Mr. Heroux" she says.

A waiter came her way directing her to the room.

Entering inside the room, she used her eyes to scan around. She saw his broad shoulders. Walking towards him, she took her sit.

He looked at her for a while, totally surprised to see that same girl that always had him falling over and over again.

"Hi." He said to her.

"oh hey." she replied with the loveliest voice he have ever heard.

"How are you??"

"Good, how are you??"

"I am good." "I'm Liam." He continued

"Adira" she said shortly.

"What do you do for a living??" I decide to ask her.

"Don't worry I don't need your money." She said with a straight face.

"Your name insist that you are a strong woman, that is why I asked." He says with a smirk.

"Ohh, I am a child phycologist." She said.

"Strong enough." He replied making her to giggle.

"You are blushing, you like me." He said looking at her closely, he was sure he had already fallen for her.

"I don't, I just recognized you so I am still processing." She replied with a straight face.

"It's okay, you can take it all in." He says making her giggle again.

"You are very cocky." She said out of the blue.

She didn't believe in love and was prepared to die single, maybe adopting a child could do. She always said to herself.

"It's not called cocky, I mean I have one but..."
