Chapter 26: Who am I dating?
At the same time, there was a rather cold, panicky atmosphere in the porter's house. Shella was shocked at what her children were telling her. She'd gone to so much trouble to get this woman and her daughter out of her life, and now that she was dead, her daughter was back! She was still sceptical and couldn't believe it, "Are you sure it's her?"
"I'm sure it's her! She looks just like her mother!" Confirmed Clyde.
"Alan, why is she back? Did she call you?" Shella looked at her husband with concern.
"I've cut off all contact with her, why would she call me? Can you ask reasonable questions?" Alan Porter was also surprised by the new guy but couldn't help but be a little solemn because Alex still hadn't called him, after all he was still her father.
"Dad, you've to send her back! I wouldn't share my inheritance with her. I'm sure that's what she's for!" Aria snapped at her father.
"What inheritance? She doesn't deserve anything from this house! We even took the name Porter back from her!" Shella scoffed, looking annoyed. Never would she allow her to get a dime of her fortune!
"But Papa took her grandfather's factory and stores, what if she wants that back? Then we won't have anything! " Clyde was still a little worried and couldn't help but remind his father.
Hearing this, Alan clenched his fist, remembering what he'd to do to steal the Michell family's badge.
"Don't talk nonsense, you don't want that. It's all rightfully ours." Alan wasn't worried, he knew he was rightfully the owner of the brand and the factory. "Clyde find her contact as soon as possible." he ordered his son, then looked at his wife and daughter, "and you should prepare her for marriage to Eliott as soon as possible."
He heard that Aria was still unhappy because she was in love with Ethan and that ugly duck was with him. Before this stupid wedding happened, she'd to break them up, she thought. If she couldn't have him, no one would, and she'd do anything to make that happen.
Later that day, Ethan asked Alex out on a date. When she arrived at the location of her date, she was amazed at the view. It was a beautiful garden with many lights shining like stars, there weren't many people, you could see a few couples sitting on benches, some of them were kissing, who could blame them, this garden was so romantic with this beautiful lake in the middle with the moon reflecting its beauty.
She found an unoccupied bench and sat down there. A few minutes later, a man came and sat next to her.
"Hey, beauty..." it was Eliott, looking very handsome. He'd changed his suit for a blue shirt and white trousers and looked neat and relaxed at the same time.
Alex looked to the side and saw Eliott looking at her with those beautiful golden eyes, she smiled kindly at him and motioned for him to sit down, "I thought I was meeting Ethan?"
"I thought you said I was better looking... So I'm here instead! Besides, I think I'm more entertaining than him."
"Really...? Ok, then I'll give you a chance... But I'm going to miss my sweet Ethan," Alex sighed and smiled at Eliott, who answered her with an even deeper smile. "Tell me, how come ROYALSTAR CEO became the most famous wuxia actor? I'm interested in that..." asked Alex very curious about this turn of events.
"Before that, I've something to give back to you."
"What's it?"
Eliott looked deep into her eyes, took her face in his hands, slowly approached her and gave her a deep, burning kiss. Alex was shocked by this sudden kiss, which she hadn't expected at all, their tongues dancing and slowly melding together. After Eliott ended the kiss, Alex was still in a daze. To bring her back to her senses, Eliott tapped her forehead with his finger. She was so embarrassed and blushing so hard that she couldn't look him in the eye. Eliott was enjoying teasing her more and more.
After the appointment, Alex and Eliott went back home. They parted at Alex's door, where Eliott gave her a little goodbye kiss on the forehead before going to his own apartment.
When Fidelia saw Alex, she guessed she was with Ethan when she saw her red face. She was really happy for her best friend. She wanted her to find someone because she'd been all alone since her grandfather died. Yes, she was there for her, but she knew that the relationship she could have with her wouldn't be the same as having a lover!
After a brief conversation, Fidelia informed Alex that she was going to Christopher's house and that she didn't have to wait for her. Alex knew that meant she wouldn't be coming back at all. She went to her room and took a cool shower, then left her apartment and rang the doorbell of the apartment next to her.
Eliott was just getting out of the shower, wearing only a bathrobe. When he saw her at his intercom, he smiled slyly before opening the door. When she entered, she was greeted by the sight of Eliott's wet chest adorned with slowly dripping beads of water, making him look sexy.
Seeing this, she gulped and blushed heavily, but instead of looking at anything else, her eyes were still glued to his chest.
Eliott looked at her and grinned, "You know my morning offer still stands, do you want to touch?",
Alex was now redder than a tomato, "stop teasing me will you?",
Eliott laughed at her red face before going to his room to get dressed while Alex waited for him in his living room.
After getting dressed, he returned with a cup of hot chocolate and a plate of fruit and sat down silently next to Alex.
They didn't say anything for a while until Alex looked at him and asked, "Who am I going out with?"
"Who do you want to date?" Replied Eliott as he looked Alex back into her beautiful ocean blue eyes.
"The true one..." replied Alex lowering her gaze a little, Eliott's eyes were a little intimidating she thought.
"So I guess I am." He smiled at her, showing off his cute dimples. Alex couldn't help but think that his features softened when he smiled, making him look even better and gentler.
"Why are you pretending to be an actor?" She was genuinely curious about that. It wasn't like he lacked money or anything, he was a Jensen, basically the heir to the family that ruled the country. Being an actor was certainly not for money or fame. 'Is he just doing it as a hobby?" she thought.
"You could say it's kind of like an internship. Since I was young, my father had me do a lot of little jobs, and I enjoyed that. So I decided to continue after I graduated, mainly to prepare for my future position as CEO. For example, I was once a waiter, one of our restaurant managers, I worked in our mall as a salesperson or delivery person, etc..., and my last job is as an actor and at the same time I'm the CEO of RoyalStar. I did this to know how our employees feel at work and to see what we can improve to make them more comfortable. It also helped me to know more about the different areas of ROYAL CORP. This will help me in my work in the future." Eliott replied, pleased that she was interested in his life.
Alex was amazed that he was such a hardworking and passionate man, if she wasn't sure what was her feeling for him until now, at that moment she felt like she was falling for him.
