Crystal almost fell from her seat when she heard what the man said.Her eyebrows were in one line while she was looking intently at the man.
Did he just ask her to be his girlfriend?
She didn't know whether to laugh or get mad at him because of how conceited he was.
*what makes you think that am going to say yes to your proposal?"she asked him directly.
She didn't understand where this man was driving at.Did she look like a woman who would easily agree to such a offer?
"Because you just got dumped and I know that you want to get even with your boyfriend,"he said looking at her confidence.
Crystal scoffed.She couldn't believe that a man this handsome and muscular was an eavesdropper.
She raised her eyebrows and looked at him.He eyes met with hers and it was as if he was not affected with her expressions at all.
"So what do you think?"he asked again.
"And what is your reason?" she asked instead of answering his question.
She wouldn't believe that he was doing it because he felt pity for being dumped by her boyfriend. That is not an acceptable explanation.
The man smiled at her for being quick witted.
"smart"he uttered.
She didn't know if that was a compliment of what she said but she was not dumb to think he was not up to something.This man would not be in front of her if it was not to get something from her.That's one thing she is sure of.
"So tell me what would you give if I accept your offer?"she asked.
He shrugged his shoulders."Just be my girlfriend and act like a real one in front of my family that's all"he said.
"Why do you need me to do that?"she asked while her eyebrows was knitted together.She couldn't believe that this handsome guy in front of her does not have a girlfriend,unless..he is gay!..?
"You don't need to know"he said in a firm tone.
"Then there is no need for this deal"she said quickly with a serious expression on her face.
She didn't have any plans of making this man take control of their conversation. He was the one who approached her so it means he needed her more than she needs him. If he doesn't want to do it her way then,they better just forget that they ever talked about it.She will find another way to prove to Blaze that it was his lost to break up with her.
The man again,nodding his head.It was as if he couldn't believe that she just turned him down.He was amused.
"I can't believe this," he uttered "I just new one to show my family is that not enough?"
"No,why don't you have a girlfriend?Are you gay?" Crystal couldn't hold her anymore from asking him the question that has been bugging her mind.
She saw how he tried to stop himself from laughing but couldn't and burst out a loud laughter because of what she said.
"Y—you're amazing,"he said in the middle of his laughter.
Crystal felt more irritated because of the man's gestures.
"Is that all you're going to say? I don't want to waste anymore of my time here discussing this sh*t with you,so if you won't be saying anything convincible, i rather take my leave"she said and stood up.
But he held her hand stopping her from leaving and made her sit down.
"I am Chase Maxwell," he said and extended his hand for a handshake.
"So what Mr Maxwell?i am waiting for your answer or just think this conversation never happened,"she said obviously feeling irritated.
"Woah!you sounded like a tigress.You can't be messed with,"he retracted his stretched hand and his face changed to a more serious expression.
"I need a girlfriend because my grandmother might not give me my inheritance,"he said in a low voice and then looked around the coffee shop making sure that no one is listening to their conversation.
Crystal couldn't help but wondered if he is saying the truth at him again this time to take note of his temperament.
Well with his looks and clothes,she could say that he might be saying the truth though looks can be deceiving.
"Okay,that's easy but you know it's not free, you have to pay me,"she said out of the blue.She was even surprised that she said those words.
"Well,"she said and looked at him intently.
She shrugged her shoulders,"i want to have a share in the inheritance you're talking about,"she said looking straight to his eyes.
Since she already said it is better to just negotiate with him so she could hit two birds with one stone."I am sure that it will be a huge amount for you to act so desperate like this,"she said mentally praising her self for being well Calculative and brainy.
Chase laughed again.
"Come on I am running out of time or probably,this is just a prank that's why you wouldn't agree with my conditions,"she said looking at the suspiciously.One thing she has learnt of men today is that they are full of surprises.
"Oh! i didn't know there is such a woman who would talk to me like this.Firstly,you told me that I could be gay and now you are asking for my inheritance seriously?"he said full of wonder.It was obvious that he couldn't seem to believe what she said.
"I am pretty serious.I should be having a share of everything you get from this deal,"she said ."So Mr Maxwell, if you refuse with my terms then,there is nothing for us to talk about so i will take my leave.You can just wait for the next woman to offer to and agree,"she said then stood up.This time she swayed her hands that he held to stop her from leaving.
It was a strange proposition, and part of her wanted to accept just to see where it would lead. But deep down, she knew there had to be more to this story than what he was telling her.
"Okay deal,"Chase said while holding Crystal hands.
