AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Saturday afternoon.

Roxane arrived at Blue Temptations early to help Jessica set up the place.

Sebastien had spoken to Quentin in advance, and he generously lent them the bar, without worrying about the business he might lose for the night.

The bar staff were also very nice and they also helped set up the place.

Jessica also wanted to help, but she was stopped by Roxane.

“There’s only one thing you have to do tonight. Confess to my brother and try to win his heart! She said confidently.

Jessica took a deep breath and said nervously:

– Roxane, I’m… I’m a little nervous…

She wasn’t afraid to argue with Enzo, but she was terrified when she thought about confessing to him. She was afraid that he would look at her with disdain and say that she was like a toad who wants to eat swan meat, laughing at her wishful thinking.

Roxane placed her hands on Jessica’s shoulders and encouraged Jessica.

– Don’t be nervous! Show your usual attitude when arguing with him! If he doesn’t agree, bite his head off!

She was amused by Roxane’s words.

– Thank you, Roxane.

-Think about what you’re going to say to my brother later. I’ll continue to settle in, Roxane said, patting Jessica’s shoulders.

She nodded. She looked at the note in her hands. She had already written down what she wanted to say to Enzo. She was afraid of forgetting it so she memorized it over and over again. She had loved Enzo for so many years. It wasn’t that she didn’t feel sad to see so many women coming and going around him, but she just wasn’t in a position to comment on it. Now she just wanted to get out of this limbo. She would confess. After that, they would either be together and continue to bicker, or they would break up and never see each other again. Either way, it would be better than the state she was in now. She would no longer have to struggle with her secret love and go through the vicious cycle of hope and disappointment.

Roxane carefully arranged the balloons in the bar.

The bar, usually clean and simple, was now decorated with pink balloons. There were even flashing fairy lights of all kinds of colors. Each table had a heart shaped candle on it. The atmosphere was great.

The female lead was ready and they were just waiting for the male lead to arrive.

…

When night fell, it took away the heat of the day. The bar was cool even without turning on the air conditioner.

Roxane took out her phone and looked at it before saying:

– Mr. Seb said that my brother had already left the company and should arrive soon.

The company was not far from Blue Temptations. It was only a ten minute drive.

Jessica wore a new red dress and a pair of high heels. She paced back and forth nervously. She had applied makeup to her delicate face, making her look even more beautiful. However, a nervous and uncomfortable expression marred his handsome face.

– Don’t be nervous. We will all go upstairs later to give you privacy so you can say whatever you want to my brother later…, Roxane said, trying to comfort her.

Nervousness could still be seen in Jessica’s almond-shaped eyes, but she nodded.

Roxane reached out and stroked her head, assuring her that she looked very beautiful tonight. She said encouragingly:

– Good luck!

Seeing that it was almost time for Enzo to arrive, Roxane and the staff went upstairs, making themselves scarce so as not to affect Jessica’s performance.

As the moment got closer, Jessica became even more nervous. His beautiful hand reached out to touch his chest, and she could feel his heart pounding. It felt like his heart was going to come out of his chest. She closed her beautiful eyes and took a few deep breaths. She tried to calm herself by reciting the words she wanted to say several times.

When she heard footsteps, she felt her palms sweat. When she opened her eyes, she saw Enzo’s handsome and arrogant face.

Earlier, he had received a call from Quentin, saying he would buy him a drink. Since there were free drinks, it would be a waste for him to decline the invitation. Therefore, he was slightly puzzled when he walked in and saw no one other than Jessica. He was even more perplexed when he saw the decoration of the bar.

He frowned slightly. Just as he was about to ask what was going on, his phone suddenly rang. When he glanced at the screen, he muttered to himself:

– Did she really take the initiative to call me? Could it be that he missed me?

He didn’t hesitate and answered the call immediately.

Jessica, who was walking towards Enzo, suddenly stopped walking. It was as if her feet were pinned to the ground and she couldn’t move. She was a little far away so she couldn’t hear what was being said on the other end, but she could vaguely hear a woman’s voice.

Meanwhile, Enzo’s expression changed quickly, no longer looking arrogant like before. Instead, his voice was solemn and slightly nervous as he said:Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

-Deborah, calm down. I’m coming very soon.

‘Deborah…’

A chill instantly permeated Jessica’s heart and spread to her limbs and bones. Even his fingertips were frozen.

After ending the call, Enzo looked at Jessica with a strange look. Then, he looked away and turned to leave without saying another word.

-Enzo, Alvarez! Jessica shouted hoarsely. She didn’t know where she got the courage to call him at that moment.

Enzo stopped short as a hint of impatience appeared on his handsome face. He said:

– I have something urgent to do. If you have anything to say, we can talk about it later.

After he finished speaking, he didn’t even give Jessica a chance to speak before leaving in a hurry.

Jessica froze. The blush she had applied earlier couldn’t hide how pale her face had become at that moment. She looked down; her long eyelashes hid the despair and sadness in her eyes.

-I’m not going to tell you more. Enzo, I like you. I’ve loved you since the first time I saw you. I bickered with you for so many years, pretending I didn’t love you. It’s just to cover up how much I love you… In the past, I was sad when I saw you had a girlfriend. When you broke up, I was happy again. I felt like I had hope. I know you hate me, and you meant those words you said back then, but every time you treated me a little better, I couldn’t help but forgive you, and I loved you too more and more… I’m really pathetic…
