Chapter 12: Antonio Lopez
Aryana was surprised to find more people on the ground floor. Marlon explained to her that the price of food on this floor was the cheapest.
Suddenly, she heard a familiar laugh and her gaze was drawn to the left side of the restaurant. And there were the 5 of them… Denise and her friends talked happily and so loudly without care as if they owned the restaurant.
Other diners were glaring at them but they didn't mind.
As if Denise felt her presence she looked at Aryana with disdain in her eyes. She whispered something to the group and their laughter filled the air again.
"Hmmm here comes the bitch. So that's his sugar daddy. Not bad. He is more handsome than you Alex." Denise threw Alex a pitiful look as she said those words.
"And she is a lot prettier and sexier than you." Alex snapped back.
"How dare you!" she barked at him but quickly stood up when she saw Aryana about to leave the restaurant.
"Hey Aryana, can you please take pictures of us as the waiters here are busy?" Denise said 'please' but the tone of her voice was far from asking for a favor but rather full of arrogance.
Aryana complied and looked at Marlon.
"Wait for me here. I'll just get something from the yacht." Marlon left hurriedly after reading a message from his phone.
Aryana snapped several photos of her cousin and her friends. Denise was purposely making it difficult for her.
Denise saw a beautiful woman talking to another lady on the aisle behind Aryana and a waiter with a glass of red juice was walking from the side towards them.
An idea came to Denise. She signaled Aryana to move backward as she wanted to capture a broader view of the restaurant.
Aryana continued to back up. All her focus was on the cell phone trying to get a good angle when her back bumped into someone. She heard a crisp 'shit'.
She turned around and saw the waiter apologizing to the lady. Aryana recognized her as Antonio's woman.
"I am so sorry!" she said to the waiter and to the lady as she can't remember her name.
Greta glared at her coldly. If looks can kill she could have killed her already.
She looked around and noticed that there are a lot of people looking at them and she cannot afford negative publicity. She saw some people aiming their mobile phones at her.
Her demeanor changed. She flashed a beautiful smile that did not reach her eyes. "It's alright." She said loudly as if it was her intention for others to hear. Be careful next time." Her voice was sweet but Aryana doesn't understand why it sounded icy cold to her.
Then she heard gasps and a shrill scream from Denise.
"O my Gosh! He is here and he is so handsome in person." Denise shrieked.
Aryana looked at Denise and looked in the direction where she was looking. She saw Antonio descend the stairs.
Antonio eyed Aryana curiously, then stood beside Greta.
"Babe, you can go to the villa first and freshen up. I'll be there in a while." Anton passed him the key card.
Greta pouted. "Don't linger too long. Don't make me wait." She stared at Aryana for a moment before turning around to exit the restaurant from the side and went in the direction where the villas were.
Aryana handed the cell phone to Denise who was ogling Antonio. She ignored her and she, Cindy and Alice went past me to where Antonio was.
Aryana don't understand why she and her friend was jumping like crazy and like they were about to pass out. So what if he was a famous model? He is just human after all.
Denise and her friends asked Antonio if they can take photos with him and they were acting like crazy fans.
Aryana can't help but look back at Ryan. She pitied him for her girlfriend was blatantly fawning at another man in front of him. Their eyes met for a moment. He became angry even more and he stood up and went to the restroom.
Aryana was so ashamed of her cousin. She was a shameless bitch.
"Yana, what are you doing? Hurry up and took pictures of us." Denise shouted as she hooked both of her arms on the left of Antonio. Cindy and Alice flanked him on his right.
The girls were giggling while Aryana continued snapping pictures. The three women were all smiling and looking at the camera but Antonio's eyes were somewhere else. Aryana looked up and saw him grinning at her.
Aryana blushed and she shifted her focus back to the camera. Her eyes widened when she saw how both of his hands slid down to the waist of Denise and Cindy and they screamed in delight while Aryana felt the blood rushing to her face.
What a shameless cousin! Aryana's gaze was glued to the camera and then she saw him looking at the camera with a naughty smile.
'I'm just overthinking it. He is looking at the camera, not me.' She murmured to herself.
She approached Denise to return her cell phone. Aryana looked at her with disdain as Antonio's hand has not left her waist and started caressing it and her bitch of a cousin moaned in delight.
"You seemed to know each other." Antonio let go of Cindy and used his other hand to let Denise face him.
Denise was all smiles with delight and Aryana cannot bear to watch anymore. She turned her back and lifted her feet to leave.
"Don't mind her. That's my bitchy cousin who found a sugar daddy overnight and here she is acting high and mighty".
Aryana stopped at her words and stiffened. It took a lot of control for her not to turn back and threw daggers at her cousin.
Antonio laughed. "Thank you ladies I enjoyed the photo shoot."
"Denise isn't it?" He looked at another lady standing nearby. "Give your contact number to my assistant..."
Aryana did not hear the rest as she was already out where she met Marlon at the entrance.
He passed the backpack to Aryana and pointed to the restroom at the far end of the restaurant. He then hurried to the stairs taking two steps at a time. He needed to pass an important document to Erik.
