Blind Date with Annoying Billionaire

Chapter 3- Meeting My Latest Blind Date

Stephanie's POV

I snap at my unwind moments when I remember to look at my wristwatch. It's 5:30 pm. I gather myself and go to my car where it was parked. It's fifteen minutes away from my home, so I have time to prepare for the blind date that my father set up for me. I speed up to go my way home. Though I don't like the ideas of my father regarding my heart matter, still I don't want to defy him. I love my father dearly.

In fifteen minutes I am already at home. I quickly go to my bathroom to take a quick shower. After I showered, I quickly dry up my body with my towel and go to my closet room. My closet is like a store that all dress I wanted is there from casual wear to gowns and of course different kinds of shoes, too. Perks of being rich. My closet room size is thirty square meters as big as my bathroom.

Anyway, I choose a wrap-around dress that has peach flowers with green leaves design and black background color. Just want to be simple and there is nothing to be excited about. I put it on my bed as I go to my make-up table. I put toner first then moisturizer. I put on my primer makeup before putting my cover makeup. Then I simply define the shape of my eyebrows with brown color. Put mascara after my eyeshadow did then I put on a peach color lipstick. I put a highlight after putting my blush on above it and under my eyes to make my facelifted and lively. I look at myself in the mirror and am satisfied with the result. I just want simple but sophisticated makeup though I am not into this date of course I want to be presentable to the eyes of others. I just dryer my hair and let it flows below my shoulder. I heard a knock at my door.

"Come in," I said. The door opens and Thessa one of our maids comes in.

"Ma'am Steph, Danilo is already in the parking area." She informs me.

"Ok, tell him to wait for me. I'm almost done." I said. She nods and closes the door.

I choose stiletto high heels shoes with a strap and take a last look in the mirror before I get my shoulder bag and get outside my bedroom.

When I get down in the parking area Danilo is sweeping the white Cadillac XT6 of my father. Danilo is my trusted driver of my father. He is in our family before I got born.

Danilo turns around and greets me when he hears the sound of my stiletto.

"Good evening, Steph." Danilo smiled at me.

"Good evening, Danny. How's your day?" I ask him. It's been my habit since I was a child to ask Danny about his day every time I meet him around the house. He is a father figure to me.

"Oh, it's a good day, Steph!" Danilo enthusiastically answers.

"So, are you ready for your date?" He asks. I roll my eyes and say,

" Whatever!" He chuckles. He opens the passenger seats for me and closes the door when I get inside.

" Thank you I said. He goes around to the driving seat and puts on the seatbelt before driving the car on the driveway to the exit.

Danilo parked the car in the parking area of Emerald Green Restaurant. A famous restaurant in Kazan City. The restaurant has beautiful palm trees on each side, and the entrance is decorated with elegance. I knew the restaurant for I went here many times before with my best friend Raine. Thinking of Raine I miss her. This is one of my favorite restaurants especially aside from its cool ambiance, their French Cuisine is the best! So one reason why my father mostly chooses this restaurant for my truce that he arrange for me.

The waitress courteously greets me when I enter the restaurant and she asks me if I already had a reservation in advance.

"Uhmm. I had my date reserved earlier." I said. It's shameless to say that my father arranges the reservation, right?

"Oh, what is your name ma'am ?" The waitress asks me politely in surprise. She is a new waitress here I think because she is not familiar with me and it's my first time to see her here.

"Stephanie Ramirez," I reply to her.

"Oh, this way ma'am. Your boyfriend is already here 30 minutes ago." The waitress smiled at me. Boyfriend? duh! I said to myself. I give her a 'duh' look. She gets pale when she realizes something wrong with her words.

" Uh, sorry ma'am Stephanie if I said something wrong. Me and my big mouth. I'm sorry." She sincerely apologizes.

"Never mind. Be mindful next time." I said. "Yes, ma'am. Thank you. This way ma'am Stephanie." The waitress said and I follow her.

Before the entrance door of a private room, the waitress who stands at the right corner recognized me and greet me with a wide smile.

"Good evening ma'am Stephanie! Thank you for coming here again, ma'am. Thank you Cindy for taking Ms. Ramirez here, I'll take care of her from here." She said to the new waitress.

"Ok, Jane. Ma'am Stephanie, I will leave you now to Jane's care. Enjoy your meal ma'am Stephanie." She said smiling.

"Thank you, Cindy. I will." I reply calling her name through Jane's address her. She smiles back at me and leaves.

We go to the exclusive VIP room of the restaurant which is much quiet, cozy, and has a romantic view but right now I don't feel it romantic, however. How can it be? It's a blind date that my father force me. Who will feel romantic, anyway?

I am not against what they want or intention for me. I understand them that they want me to settle down, have kids, and have a husband -- have my own family, in short. It's just I want to have it in my way. It's not bad I think. It's just I haven't met the man of my dreams yet. This is at least what I am waiting for.

As we walk into the VIP room I see the back of the man who wears a black tuxedo sitting with his newly neat hair cut. The waitress stands across the man and gestures her right hand on a chair opposite the man's direction.

"Have a seat ma'am Stephanie." She pulled the chair a little for me. I follow her and sit silently on the chair. I take a look at the man in my front and shock is an understatement written on my face!

"Y-you!" I exclaimed.

He smiles at me gently and nods.

"Oh, surprise to see me, Steph." He says the fact. I nodded and furrow my eyebrows.

This person is no other than Alfredo Cordova. He was my classmate when I was in college that I doesn't want to be involved with even in my next life. I feel like all my blood sucks by a vampire. I couldn't speak. I fail to move my mouth.

This guy's appearance change so big! He is not like a thin guy with big black eyeglasses and big teeth like a rabbit. In short, he was an ugly duckling guy in our school before. But now, Oh, God! Do my eyes deceive me? But no. Even he was opposite with his looks in the past I still recognize him. When God pours handsome seeds in the sky does this man swallowed it all? I ask myself. He has looked with perfect facial features. Though he is cover by his tuxedo it's obvious that his body is so big that looks like a Greek God!

But whatever! How could Papa set up this date for me with him? Grrrr, and Why Papa's taste in guys getting worse and worse? As I going back to my senses.
