Lilly was back at home, she laid on the bed staring at the ceiling. She felt anxious having poured out her heart like that to Alex back at the restaurant. It felt so right. She felt like a weight had been lifted off her shoulders, would he accept her, Lilly didn't know what to think, she wasn't really sure.
She hadn't even noticed that her feelings for him had grown to such an extent, she never thought she could even love him, was she being desperate, what if he doesn't want me because of the way I acted earlier,"did i do much",.
what if he had someone else, I must have gone too far, how the hell was I supposed to face him again 'ding her phone buzz" she picks up and reads the message, the prince of hell had just sent her a message.
-8pm tomorrow at a St Louis restaurant, please I hope you come-, immediately a smile appeared on my face. I couldn't contain my happiness, I stood up from my bed jumping in excitement before I replied -Okay-.
I went to shower. I spent more time than usual. I was beyond happy, my heart felt different types of emotions , he asked me out on a date, finally I was out, I laid on the bed smiling before I drifted to sleep.

In a restaurant Jane and Xavier were seated, discussing the issues he had assigned to her earlier, Xavier had a smug look on his face.
"Any useful information"
"Well she only told me that they were just friends, but I believe there is more to it than she told me"
A frown appeared on Xavier's face, she hadn't brought him any useful information, he was really angry at her.
"You have no useful information".
He stood up and dragged her out of the restaurant, into his car. After a few minutes they arrived at his family's hotel, he took her into the room and locked the door.

Mrs Qin was in her house with lots of women of her age they were talking discussing and laughing
"Mrs Qin, you look very young, tell me what's the secret to it?" It was Mr. Douglas's celina who asked her.
Mrs Qin always enjoyed being apprised by her peers, she enjoyed flaunting her skin, she smiled at her, pretending to be shy while touching her skin.
"Aww Celina, you flatter me a lot there's nothing special I just take care of it like you do too"
"Mrs Qin, you're too humble, we only want to learn from you and look more refreshed like you".
"Yes Julie is right, you have to tell us, we want to also look like you" Celia said again sipping her tea.
'Ding' Mrs Qin's phone rings, she quickly checks her phone. Her expression changed a little but she was quick to mask it and smiled at her friends before excusing herself.
"I'll be right back, give me a few minutes, make yourself comfortable".
She left them hurriedly and entered her room, before picking the call.
"Speak".
"We have confirmed it is the cold of that lady, he recently met his uncle I think he knows".
She gritted her teeth in anger, she knew he spelled trouble for her, he was a danger to her and her son, even towards the company.
"Watch the man he might come in handy, for now you follow Alex quitely".
She drops the phone, and paces around her room thinking of what to do, "I can't let him take everything I have worked so hard for all these years, never I'll just have to send him to meet his mother".
She smiled wolfishly at her thought, she schooled her expression dust her gowns of invisible particles before leaving the room and heading back to the parlor to the ladies.
"I'm sorry, I took much time, I had Important matters to take care of"
She smiled as she joined them and sat down back, sipping her tea.
"It's okay, you don't need to worry, why don't we go to the spa for some skin treatment and makeover".
Celia suggested and they stood up and agreed and left the house.

Finally he was back home, after several other meetings without Lilly, he felt so damn bored and lonely, he just wanted the meeting to end so he could leave. He hadn't been concentrating on his meeting, he finally decided to Text her, he was more at ease when he asked to go out the next day.
He was so happy when he arrived, but he didn't show it, if not Kyle wouldn't let him hear the last of it, but still he noticed the mood change in Alex.
"You seem to be in a good mood today, you seem to be on good terms with her now" he was sitting on the sofa sipping the wine.
He straightly ignored him, he knew what he was playing at but, he wasn't gonna give him the satisfaction of mocking him.
He just headed straight into and took off his clothes revealing the ever so perfect body, he is a perfect work of art, he slowly walked into the pool and sinked himself in, remembering how Lilly had agreed to go out with him tomorrow brought glee to his heart.
"Hy, you can't just ignore me, tell me, you seem excited, did something happen?" he tried opening the door but it was locked, he didn't bother forcing himself in, he could if he wanted to.
"Alex, common man, I just want to know, okay okay fine how were the meetings earlier today?.
It was silent for a few minutes before Alex finally replied to him, but he still didn't open the door, "Fine, now leave I want some peace".
"Just fine, nothing more hmm you're no fun" he walked away smiling he had already got the answer he wanted.
"Goodnight", he entered his room and shut the door moving towards his computer to play some video games before sleeping.
