Chapter 49 One hell of a date
“This doesn’t sound too good. You and I both going to the date.”Annie said as they are on the road.
“Well, we are already on the road. No going back.”he replied.
Annie sighed.
She looked at his side face and said “You promised to tell me about how the scar on your face came about.”
Larry gave her a quick glance.
“Hot iron. I got it from hot iron.”
Annie leaned out of her seat a bit.
“Hot iron?”she repeated.
He nodded.
“Yeah.”
“How come?, did someone pressed it on your cheek?”
“It was done by my uncle back in America.”
Annie gasped.
“What…. he did that to you?, OMG!”
“Now, does it makes me ugly?. I feel bad.”he joked.
“Gosh, how can you be joking right now. That man must be apprehended. Isn’t he the one that sent me on that boat?, and the one who tried killing you also?. You must inform the cops about this.. he should be arrested and sentenced to death. He has been doing this for quite a while. While I was on the ship, there were several girls on the ship also with no hope… I wonder where they are now.. are they safe?, or in danger?.”Annie expounded.
“I have everything under control.”Larry simply replied.
“And the remaining guys also, especially Skyler, that guy is a prick. He is the one that brought me to that place. He should be arrested also.”
“Skyler is our man. He did that to gain the trust of those men so as to be able to help us.”
“You can’t trust anyone, La….”
“Annie, please. It’s okay, alright?. I have a lot going on in my mind right now, so I’m just trying hard to put my mind at rest.”
Annie pouted and leaned back on her seat.
“I’m sorry”she breathed out.
Larry reached out for her hand and entangled it with his.
“You don’t have to. I promise that everything is under control.”he squeezes her hand.
Annie looked at him and nodded her head like a little girl making Larry to smile.
Well, she’s little girl…
His little girl.

Larry pulled over in front of the restaurant.
Annie unstrapped her seatbelt and got down alongside with Larry.
They both walked inside and went to the reception.
“Hi. Welcome.”the receptionist gave a bow with a large smile.
“I am here to see Boyd.”
“Oh, yes. You’re welcome, ma’am. He has been for quite some time now, waiting for you obviously.”
The receptionist left where she was and moved to them.
“I will take you there now. Please, follow me.”she instructed politely and started walking away briskly and they followed her.
She glanced back to look at Larry and quickly faced her front.
She wondered why there is another guy again when there’s one inside there waiting for the woman.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
She led them to the room where Boyd was and returned back to her post.
They entered the room.
The room was VVIP so there were only few people around.
She scoured her eyes around and they soon fell on Boyd where he was sitting quietly.
He was putting on a white shirt and blue trouser.
A blue jacket was hung around his chair.
His hair was jelled back and he looks absolutely handsome.
He seems to notice her gaze as he looked up and their eyes came in contact.
She smiled at him and as he was about to smile back, his gaze landed on Larry and his face turned pale instantly.
What the?…
Isn’t this the guy that once barged into his office?.
What’s he doing here?.
They walked to him and sat down.
“Hi”Annie waved.
“Who is this?. I thought this is a date, it’s supposed to be between both of us alone. So, why bring a third party?”Boyd asked, visibly angry.
“It’s simple actually. You just have to pretend that you didn’t see me here and I will do that also.”Larry said.
Annie sighed and picked up a berry from the plate of berries placed in front of them then drop it in her mouth.
This is sure going to be a long night.
“I see. A date -in -date, isn’t it?.”Boyd scoffed.
He turned to look at Annie.
“I only asked for a date with you from your mom. How does this turns out like this?”
Annie looked up at him.
“Hm?. Well, I don’t know but it just turns out like this.”she replied.
“Wait, your mom gave him the permission to go on a date with him?”Larry asked.
“Yes.”
“Then, why didn’t you tell me?”
“Because it skips my mind. Beside, why does it matter. You would have still followed me still.”she replied.
“But then.. why?, why did she permits him to take you out on a date.”.
“I asked her mom after dropping her at her house yesterday.”Boyd replied.
“Oh, I see. And when is that?”Larry asked Annie.
“I just said when I dropped her at her apartment.”Boyd said.
Larry passed a glare to him.
“I wasn’t asking you.”
“That was before you came.”she responded.
Larry nodded.
A waitress walked towards them with a jotter and a pen.
“Good evening, sirs and ma’am.”she greeted but not after casting them a strange look.
Two guys with a single woman?.
Well, both the guys are good looking.
It’s so hard choosing the most handsome.
She drooled over both of them.
The lady is so lucky.
Having two cute guys around her.
She wondered who Larry is but he certainly would be a business man just like Boyd Brick also.
He must be a billionaire also.
“What would you like to have, sirs and ma’am?”
Larry took the menu card and after studying it, he looked up at the waitress.
“How good is your sauce meat?”
“Very good, sir.”
Larry rolled his eyes then drop the table.
“For the lady and I, two plate and a bottle of pink wine.”Larry said and dropped the card.
“Alright, noted sir. And what about the other sir?”she jot down Larry’s order on the book and turned to Boyd.
“I don’t know. But, I think table water will be good for him.”Larry said.
Boyd scoffed.
“This is so shocking. She’s my date and I’m supposed to order for her and not you.”
“Oops, my bad.”Larry replied.
*Are they now fighting over her?*the waitress thought.
She looked at Annie.
What a lucky lady.
“I will take macaroni and cheese, for the lady also.”Boyd said.
The waitress eyes shot up as she stared at Larry and Boyd.
“Which one exactly, sirs?. Sauce meat or macaroni and cheese?”
“Macaroni and cheese. I brought her on the date.”
“Sauce meat. She loves meat.”
The guys both said at the same time.
Annie looked at the waitress and smiled embarrassedly.
“I will take both sauce meat and macaroni and cheese.”she said.
The waitress nodded and turned around then left.
A soft romantic music was playing at the background.
The room was cooled.
The men stole glances at each other.
Their order soon arrived.
The waitress left afterwards.
Annie pondered on which food to eat first.
Mac and cheese or sauce meat?.
“Don’t worry. I’ll help you.”Larry said and moved a piece of meat to her mouth.
“Open up.”he said.
What?.
Annie looked at him and shook her head.
“No… need. I can eat by myself.”
“I know. Just take.”Larry whispered.
Annie looked at Boyd who silently scoffed and took his eyes away.
She slowly opened her mouth and Larry dropped the meat in her mouth.
“Good girl.”he smiled.
He opened the wine and poured some into a glass cup.
He moved the cup to Annie’s mouth.
Annie sighed softly and rolled her eyes.
She looked inside the glass and her face beamed.
A pink wine?.
Wow. She has never seen this before.
“I thought we only have red wines.”she smiled.
“Just open up”Larry poked her.
She parted her lips and he feed her the drink also.
“Should I just leave?. It seems I made reservations for you guys specifically. Should I just leave so you can have the night to yourself?.”Boyd blurted, dropping his fork.
“No, I will feel bad.”Larry shook his head.
“So stay.”he added.
“No way in hell. Do you intend to keep me here to watch your lovey – dovey act?.”Boyd said as he balled his fist and stood up.
“Then, we should all leave then.”Annie said standing up too.
“That sounds like a good idea so I agree.”Larry smirked.
Boyd scoffed.
They all walked out of the room.
They bumped into the manger on their way out of the restaurant.
“Mr Boyd. It’s an honor to have you here. But why are you leaving so soon?”
Boyd simply shook his head and walked past him.
The restaurant is the top notch in the city and it’s quite expensive. No one can enter there anyhow.
Only few were opportuned to go there and they are the wealthy ones.
Some of them secretly took pictures of them.
There was no noise of any sort at all even though they knew it was him – Boyd Brick, the lastest billionaire.
They all secretly admired him.
That’s to show how well mannered the restaurant is and the people going there also are also well mannered.
They got out to the park and Boyd went straight to his car without saying anything.
He was really vexed.
He thought Annie deliberately brought Larry to their date.
“Okay, what’s up with him?”Annie asked.
Larry took her hand and walked her to the car.
They both entered and soon, hit the road.
“That was one hell of a date.”Annie said.
“Yes, it sure was.”Larry admitted with a sly smile.
