Chapter 120: A date

Richard put his elbow on the table and put his hand on his face, staring at her as she looked at the menu.

She eyed the food she wanted to order.

"Waiter!!" she called, and her eyes drifted to Richard.

"Why are you staring?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I am just admiring your beauty, and those gorgeous lips, I would like to kiss." He muttered, and she scrunched up her face.

"I haven’t agreed to be your girlfriend yet, and you have started daydreaming?" She stated, and the waiter walked to their desk.

"What would you like to order?" he asked.

"Macaroni and cheese." She muttered.

"Okay ma, give me a sec," he said and walked away.

"So tell me about yourself, what do you like doing," Richard inquired.

"I am a gardener. I like planting flowers." She muttered.

"If you are a gardener, why were you working at the club?" he asked.

"I wasn’t working there full time; it was a part-time job. I only worked there at night." She replied.

"Then why did you quit the job? Is it because my friend bullied you that night?" he inquired.

"That was one of the reasons I wanted to quit, but I needed the money for my sick father, and secondly, I didn’t quit. I was fired after that night." She stated, and his eyes widened.

"Why?" she asked.

"My boss said that I wasn’t serious and that I was always flirting with customers." She replied.

"So what do you do now?" he asked.

"I am just a gardener for a rich family." She stated.

"So have you considered being my girlfriend?" he asked, raising an eyebrow and moving his hand towards hers on the table.

"Hell no, I can’t accept you that easily." She scoffed and smack his hand.

"I don’t know why girls like playing hard to get." He muttered, and the waiter serve them food.

Elena started eating without looking up at Richard, who was busy devouring the food. Richard shook his head and started eating. They finished eating and stood up to go. Richard paid the waiter and tipped him.

"Thank you, sir, come another time." He beamed and walked away. Richard wanted to go when he spotted a food stain on her lips. He started moving closer to her as she walked back.

"Stay away, what are you trying to do?" she asked with a disgusted look.

"Calm down, I am not trying to take advantage of you." He said, grabbing her hand. He pulled her closer to his chest and moved his hand closer to her lips as she closed her eyes immediately, her lip in a pout. He cleaned up the food stain on her lips as the other customers in the restaurant started looking at them.

"So romantic." A woman commented.

She opened her eyes and stared into his eyes.

"What were you expecting?" he asked, raising a brow, and her cheek turned bright red as she pulled away from his grip and started walking out of the restaurant as he ran after her.
