My Sweet Seduction

Lunch

I CONTINUED watching Cindy's works but I could not help but look back at the man who now glanced at me. I quickly backed away and distracted myself with the gowns in front of me. Until I felt him stand up and slowly walked closer to my direction.

"Hi!" he greeted.

I slowly nodded. I have to admit, he is breathtakingly hot with his angular face, dark brows, expressive pair of eyes, and heart-shaped lips. I notice his smile that has not been removed since earlier

“What’s that smile for?” I asked irritably.

“Nothing. It’s just. . . what a small world! ”

I rolled my eyes and ignored him.

His jaw tightened before turning around and walking towards the front desk. I followed her gaze as I spoke to Lenny. I think the two are getting along well with Lenny's boisterous laughter as if they were the only person inside the boutique.

I rolled my eyes again and removed my sunglasses impatiently.

I started to step out of the boutique.

"Ma'am Margaux, are you leaving?" Lenny asked me with a big smirk on her face.

I looked at her sharply, then the antipathetic man who seemed to lose his grin.

“Yes. I will reschedule my meeting with Cindy because I have a sudden meeting, ”I said.

“Ah, is that so? All right, I’ll just tell Ma’am ’when she arrives. Just be careful, ” she said.

I finally went out with irritation. I opened the door of my car and rushed into it. I just stared at the front for a few more minutes. I Can not understand myself. I suddenly felt annoyed at the scene earlier. I calmed myself down before I turned on the ignition, to my surprise at a series of knocks on my car window.

I saw a big smile of Cindy outside. I quickly lowered the window.

“Margaux, where are you going? ‘Aren’t you going to measure your gown now?” she asked with wrinkled forehead.

“I have a sudden meeting so can I just continue next time? After all, Lawrence is there ” I said firmly, not looking at her directly.

“Oh my God, have you met him? What can you say? ‘Isn’t he handsome?’ she asked tremblingly.

Yes, he is handsome! I whispered at the back of my head.

"Ah, yes, I met him," I replied, before restarting the car engine.

"Wait, are you really not going to fit your gown today?" she asked with wrinkled brows.

I felt guilty because I really didn't have a meeting to go to. I just wanted to avoid the scene earlier.

"Alright, I will cancel all my meetings for today," I said turning off the engine again then getting out of the car.

Cindy's face lit up and she hugged me tightly. "Thank you so much, bestie."

I COULD feel the heated stare of Lawrence behind my back. I then felt my face turn red as I measured the gown.

I glanced at him. The heat in his eyes made me uncomfortable. "Isn't he handsome?" the coordinator whispered to me.

"That looks is not my type," I denied.

“Really? But why your eyes not telling the truth?" he added.

I just did not comment because I admitted what he said.

After fitting the gown and measuring some more clothes, Cindy finally chose what I would wear.

“Alright. You will be wearing a baby pink heart-shaped corset gown. It will definitely lift you up that night, ” she said.

I shook my head. “It's okay with me even if it's not pretentious. Besides, it’s your wedding day, not mine."

“Bestie, I want you to be the most beautiful after me because I know you deserve it. Even if you wear rags dresses, you were definitely shine," she said as if she encouraging me.

"I want you to wear my best work because you deserve it."

I smiled at what she said. I was so lucky that Cindy became my best friend, even when we first met I was weirded out by her because of her immaturity.

“It's lunch time. Come on, let's have lunch together,” said Cindy.

I darted a warning glare to Cindy but she seemed not affected and ignored my protest.

"Lawrence, join us for lunch," Cindy said.

“Sure. No problem,” Lawrence responded.

"Then, let's go!" Cindy said promptly and without hesitation she grabbed my hand out of the boutique.

Cindy took us to a famous restaurant. We're start eating but Cindy still couldn't stop her mouth from asking Lawrence.

“You really love business, huh? Margaux is also focus of their family business. I am sure you will get along. Try to invite her for some dinner maybe?” Cindy turned her eyes at me as I widened my eyes again but still had no effects on her.

“It's good to hear that. I actually manage my own resort, and if Margaux want to make dinner with me, then why not, " said Lawrence who is now focused his attention on mine.

My two cheeks got hot because of his hot stare.

"I heard about the upcoming celebration for Collin Hotel," he asked.

"Yeah," I replied sparingly.

“Great. You and Margaux should work together for that event,”Cindy said again. “Saavedra Catering Services is well-known when it comes to big events. They serve high-class food and beverages. It’s a brilliant idea, right? ”

"Dad is the one who takes care of everything, but I still suggest one," I said even though the truth is that Daddy is really the one I assigned for the event.

Lawrence just nodded at me before returning to the meal. Not long after the silence suddenly a woman approached us.

"Baby?"

Lawrence was shocked. He almost choked while drinking juice.

"Terris, what are you doing here?!" he said in surprise.

“Why aren’t you answering my calls? I was worried about you! That’s why I flew back here! ” the woman answered slangly and without hesitation she pulled up a chair to sit next to Lawrence.

Lawrence could not speak immediately. Still seemed shocked. I could not help but look at the woman in front of us today. Tall, slender body, corn-colored hair, silky complexion, and somewhat revealing clothing. She was wearing only a mini skirt and a spaghetti strap top.

Cindy cleared her throat to grab the attention of the visitor. "Oh, you have company! " she exclaimed.

“Yes. Actually, this is Cindy, Carick’s fiancée and her friend, Margaux, ”Lawrence introduced us.

"This is Terris Mondragon, a friend of mine."

The woman just glanced at me before facing Cindy. “So you are the beloved fiancée of Carick. I’m glad to finally meet you! ” It grabbed Cindy's hand.

Cindy immediately pulled the hand that seemed uncomfortable with what the woman did.

"Would you mind if I join you, guys?" she excitedly said. We did not wait to answer because she signaled to the waiter.

Cindy and I just looked at each other and quickly finished eating to leave the two.

I went straight home to the condo. I was lying on the bed to rest when my cell phone rang on the night stand.

"I'm sorry for what happened earlier..." The sende is unknown number but I immediately knew who texted. This is Lawrence.

"Where did you get my number?" I replied.

"Cindy..." he answered.

I simply massage my temple before emphatically typing a reply.

"Okay!"

I closed my eyes and was getting ready for bed when the cell phone rang again.

"Are you upset?"

I bit my lower lip before typing a reply again.

"Of course, not!"

"Sorry, if I get your number without your permission and for texting this late," Lawrence replied immediately.

"No, problem. It's just a phone number." I replied.

"I know we didn't have a good start. But I think it's better if we can give us a try and can be friends."

I licked my lower lip and shook my head slowly.There is nothing wrong with me making friends with him after what happened between us, right?

"Sure!" I quickly replied.

"Allright, thanks. Good night!" he answered.

Inwardly I smiled and turned off my phone before going to sleep.
