"Thawing the Billionaire's Heart"

Chapter 7: Am I unworthy to be his woman?

"And his smile... oh my God, his eyes. They are black too, but they seem to gleam like there's a light inside him or something. It's like he can see right through you."

Her sister and her friend were entranced, their mouths agape, and his smile, Didi prompted.

"It's like... it's like the sun breaking through the rainy day, it's like everything comes alive when he smiles. And his jawline, it's like it was chiseled by gods themselves,"

Didi rolled her eyes good-naturedly. "You are smitten, aren’t you?"

Selene smiled and continued.

"The clothes!" He was wearing this tailored suit that fit him like a glove. It was black, and it matched him and made him look like an emperor descending.

Didi and Emilia laughed and oohed, asking her to describe every detail. She told them about his broad shoulders, his confident strides, and the way he seemed to command attention without even trying.

As she spoke, she couldn't help but feel awestruck herself. She had never seen anyone more handsome than little Lugard. He was like a dream come true and a fantasy made fresh.

"I can't believe that I finally found him after so many years of looking for him. I had already given up on looking for him and waiting for him, but that night before I saw him, I decided to move on and forget about him and the past. But I was shocked after making that decision that night, the next day I was going to the hospital at noon after work, and I was passing the Nova restaurant, the biggest restaurant in our city. I was just passing the restaurant, but I think I got a glimpse of something shining. Then I stopped in my tracks and looked towards the light, but I was shocked to see him coming out of the restaurant entrance."

"Wow," Didi said with wide eyes, "is it a coincidence or something? You found him when you became tired of searching for him, he appeared from nowhere."

"Yeah, that's fate. He doesn't want you to leave him or forget the past, something like that," Emilia said.

Didi nodded in agreement, "That's how I also see it. Fate doesn't want you to give up hope on him. And besides, who is he that came out of the Nova restaurant? Is he a celebrity or what?" Didi said, resting her head on her left hand that was not injured.

Selene did not answer immediately. Didi put her hand on the fruit plate, collected an apple, and put it into her mouth.

"His name is Phillip Lugard," Selene said, looking at her sister's reaction.

The fruit that Didi put inside her mouth fell out directly.

"What?" she shouted in shock. "Do you... do you mean our richest man?" Didi asked, looking at her sister with shocked eyes, without knowing what to say.

Selene nodded, "He's the one. I was also surprised to know that he was Phillip Lugard. When I found out his name, I was also shocked."

Didi's mouth trembled.

Emilia burst out laughing heartily. "I told you, you would be shocked to the core when you know who he was."

Didi nodded with wide eyes. "I never expected that," Didi said, looking at Selene.

"Are you sure he's the one, sister?" Didi asked.

"Yes," Selene nodded.

At the restaurant,

Kelly and her friends were drinking. Kelly was in a bad mood and kept drinking until she became drunk.

"Natalie said, patting Kelly's back, "Kelly, calm down. You don't need to punish yourself for a man's words."

Kelly continued without saying anything, dropping her empty wine glass on the table and pouring another drink. She picked it up and drank it in one gulp. She poured another drink and picked it up to drink, but Tina stopped her.

"Calm down, Kelly. Stop drinking," Tina said, patting Kelly's back.

Kelly's face turned to angry mode. "Give me my drink. I'm not done drinking," she insisted.

"No, don't drink again. You have already drunk more than enough. Just calm down," Tina said, patting Kelly's back and stopping her from collecting the drink from the table.

She then called the waiter and asked him to clear everything.

Kelly slipped from her seat to the ground with a red flushed face.

"Kelly, please calm down," her friends were trying to calm her down.

She looked up at them and opened her mouth, "He says I'm not worthy to be his woman. Who is he to say that to me? What gave him the right to say that to me? No one has ever said that to me, not even my family members or people outside," Kelly shouted angrily. Luckily, they were in a private room, not in a crowded place.

"Lugard," she shouted Lugard's name angrily, "You belong to me and nobody else. Your mother already asked me to be her daughter-in-law and get married to you. Whether you like me or not, I don't care. I must marry you. If you say that I, Kelly Anderson, am unworthy of you, then there is no one worthy of you in this life," she said angrily with clenched fists and red eyes.

She looked at Natalia, who was beside her, and pointed at herself, "Am I unworthy to be his woman?" Kelly asked.

Natalia rolled her eyes, "Who said that? Who dared to say our Kelly is not worthy of our richest man? You are the most worthy of our richest man," she touched Kelly's face, "You are very, very beautiful, talented, and even come from a rich background. What makes you think you are not worthy of him? Maybe he's angry at you because his relationship with Hazel was destroyed because of you back then," Natalia said seriously.

"Yes, that's true," Tina said.

"Yes, am sure, that's the reason for his attitude towards you. Back then, he lost his mind the day Hazal broke up with him. I don't know if he will survive the heartbreak then, He found out that it was his mother who caused everything and went to confront his mom. That day was very terrifying; he was also terrifying. He's like a handsome, cold demon who just came out of hell," Claire said thoughtfully.

"I must find a way to make him like me. If it doesn't work, I will look for another plan," Kelly said determinedly before getting up and stammering towards the VIP door. Tina and Claire followed sooth.

Natalie called the waiter, paid for the drinks, and then left with her friends.

While leaving the restaurant, they got into their cars and drove Kelly home because she was already drunk and unable to drive herself.

Meanwhile, in another car,

"Oh my God, why is this annoying fly in such a miserable state?" He looked at Kelly with a pity that didn't reach his eyes, his beautiful lips curling into a smile. "Kelly, see what you're doing to yourself because of my handsome, cold-hearted guy, is a shame. He hates you and you can't change it once he's made up his mind. Nothing will make him change, because it was because of you that his mother destroyed his own life with his beloved woman. I've always wanted to ask you this question, but I don't have any time to talk with you. because my time is made for good people, not bad and scheming women like you.

Maybe I'll ask you in the future. If it were you, would you be in a relationship with someone who destroys your sleep and happiness?" Jonathan said with an angry face.

"I guess the answer should be no," he said with a smile. "Now you've destroyed my best friend's happiness and even want him to marry you, fool." dream on".
