Capítulo 14: Hand-in-hand

They continued the rest of the journey in silence.

He parked the car in front of a luxurious restaurant. She gave him a what-are-we-doing-here look, but he ignored her.

He came down from the car and went inside the restaurant, and she immediately followed him.

The restaurant staff were familiar with the tall handsome man who just walked in, he was their boss's son and therefore made him their boss also, but who was the woman beside him? She looked like a model, but their boss never brought a client to his mother's restaurant he rather took them to his company's restaurant.

Davis led her to the VIP table at the corner part of the restaurant.

"You must be hungry that's why I brought you here." He said in a calm tone.

She was touched by his words, she didn't know he was this considerate of her.

Two waiters approached their table with trays of food. They neatly arranged the food in front of them and left without saying a word, they only bowed towards them.

Calla was stunned they haven't even placed an order but their food had already been delivered.

She looked at the dishes in front of her, and she smiled.

Davis didn't fail to notice her smile. "What is so funny?." He asked with a raised eyebrow.

She looked up at him with an embarrassed expression on her face. "Nothing, I just love eating." After fighting and seeking revenge the next thing that Calla loved was good, good food.

He chuckled. "Food makes you happy?." He asked in disbelief.

She nodded slowly and then added, "Good food makes me happy."

She turned towards the meal. Her mouth watered as she saw the Lasagna, Fettuccine Pomodoro, and a glass of mango and coconut pannacotta in front of her. She looked up at Davis with gratitude evident in her eyes. How on earth did he know she loved Italian food?

She cleared her throat. "In as much as I don't like you, Davis, I must thank you for this meal. How on earth did you know I love Italian food?"

He chuckled at her words.

He had found out her favorite food from her Mother but he decided not to tell her.

He shrugged. "I have my ways."

She rolled her eyes at him. "Yeah, right." She said sarcastically.

She started eating immediately, she ate all the food in front of her before she raised her head to meet Davis's gaze.

They held each other's gaze for a long time. He stretched his hand towards her mouth.

Her heart started beating faster than usual.

"You have a little something here." He said while cleaning her upper lip with his fingers.

His hand felt so hot on her lips. His hand on her lip stayed longer than expected, all the while maintaining eye contact with her.

She became uncomfortable with the way his hand was moving on her lips, so she spoke. "Thank you, I think it is all gone." Her face was red from blushing.

She then noticed hadn't touched his meal of spaghetti and meatballs, he had only drank the wine.

"Why haven't you started eating your meal?." She asked in a neutral tone.

He shrugged. "Are you done eating, or do you want more?."

She gave him an are-your-kidding expression. She was overfed, she was glad the dress didn't become too tight.

She nodded.

"That's good, let's go." He stood up from his seat and headed towards his car.

She didn't say a word and just followed him.

Soon, they arrived at one of his luxurious hotels where the show was being held.

He had already freshened up after he took Calla to the restaurant.

Garcia and Marcus were waiting for the couple in front of the hotel, and they were glad when they saw the black SUV approaching them.

Garcia hurriedly opened the door for Davis while Marcus did the same for Calla.

Reporters rushed towards the car but were blocked by the bodyguards.

"No one is allowed to take any photos of the CEO and the lady he is unless the show has begun." A huge bodyguard spoke in a loud voice that scared them away.

Davis walked towards Calla and held her hand in his, the sudden contact with her enemy sent shivers down her spine. She was expecting the memories to come flooding in, but strangely nothing happened.

'What is happening, how come I don't feel like removing my hand from his or punching him in the stomach?." she thought to herself.

Reporters went wild, after watching Davis hold the woman's hand and began leading her inside the building.

They have never seen Davis hold a model's hand before. He always walked in front of them while they walked behind him, so the sight of him holding that model's hand was a great shock to them.

Who was she and what made the great god of beauty hold her hand? She was gorgeous but that wasn't enough reason for the cold CEO to hold her hand.

The reporters wanted to take photos of the scene but they knew that was a high risk that might end their career, so they could only watch in shock.

Calla knew by the way the reporters were staring at them that Davis hadn't held any model's hand before. She was also wondering if he was doing that because they were married or not.

She glanced at him but he had a neutral look on his face, so she couldn't tell what he was thinking.

The hall immediately fell silent as they both entered the hall holding each other's hand.

All the guests stopped what they were doing and stared at the two people who just entered the hall. One was the CEO of the most popular entertainment company in the world, but who was the woman?

Was she the new wife of the CEO? they wondered. They heard he had gotten married but most of the people present were not at his wedding so they didn't know what his wife looked like.
