Lucas POV
Lucas was still seated under the bright lights while Ferra got into the room. His father stood up and greated her in a lovely and caring manner but he knew perfectly all this was just an act. All his father wanted was môre money and môre power as Ferra is the only child to her parents so the only heir of his big fortune and my father's wish was to lay hands on that, so
The fact that they were friends, they planned on marrying us, their children's.
It disgust me just thinking of that and for so I pity this girl môre than I hate her for falling for me. I'm not a Guy for her and I cannot use her she is too scheming , I don't wanna get stucked with her because of a baby , plus I have better to do.
"Hello Lucas won't you greet your future wife" she said looking at me with a little frown "hello Ferra I'm not going to marry you so you better understand and look for someone else" I told her while remaining seated not glancing at her.
"Lucas present your excuses to this beautiful lady to whom you will for sure get married to" my dad said with a hint of irritation in his voice. "Take a seat my dear" he told her as a servant opened a seat for her next to my dad. But my dad decided to annoy me,
"No not here take a seat next to Lucas so he can take a look at your beauty from a Closer distance. I said nothing and when she passed by Faith I clearly saw how she pushed her with her shoulder which made me to smile at the depression on her face "how can I be loving such a thing?" I mentally asked myself.
As she tried to pull a chair next to me, I said " this chair is reserved take the next" Of which she did with a surprised and bitter expression. And of course it startled my father "By who is that chair occupied are you going crazy or what?", My father inquired.
"The person knows herself I don't need to mention her name" I said in an untouched tone "and if the person do not acknowledge her seat, then that particular person will suffer from severe punishment"
I said it but she didn't budge only fear and sweat could bé seen on her face as I spy on her with a big smirk "just shut up yet Ferra seat next to him that's an order" my dad said calmly " there will be no order if I go" I stood up and moved out while my dad was telling me all what he will do to me if I don't come back. But for who do he takes himself to choose the girl I am to get married with? I mentally told myself.
I was in my platinum Highlander preparing to go to a restaurant when an idea popped in my head and I took my phone out and dailed my assistant's number for her to give me Faith's number. You guess right I will make her accompany me to eat as she must eat next to me and récieve her punishment for not owning up just before in the house. As I dailed her number, she picked at once.
Her voice was really sweat and tired over the phone but I could care less. "Meet me near the house entrance dress normally you've got 30 minutes". I told her and off the call.
20mins later, she came next to the entrance. I moved next to her in my car and asked her to enter. When she entered I sped off "why aren't you changed as I asked you to ?" I asked concentrated on the road "because you gave me no time Sir just walking from the house to here is already twenty mins how was I suppose to do that? "
She asked annoyed. "This girl got guts" I told to myself , "you could have ran, know I need to buy you something presentable and it will be charged on your salary" I said while smirking at her " I'm sorry but I haven't asked for anything and I definately won't take it " she said with much confidence that I almost fell for her. Girls around me
often did as I said but her she even had the guts to speak back,I love that" I mentally remarked. "Where are you taking me to?" She asked "who asked you to talk? You must learn how to shut that little mouth of yours or else many problems will run after you ". I said and
Parked the car in the parking lot of a 4 star restaurant "get out" I told here before getting out myself. I moved infront and she followed me like a little puppy anyway she wasn't far of being one I chuckled internally.
As I walked to the reception I ordered "my usual table" without greetings " but sir you haven't told us to prepare for that table a family is actually using it and it will tanish the reputation of the restaurant if " she said while I cut her.
"Do I need to call before visiting my property so you better shut up and look for a discrète table for two " I told her as I don't wanted to spoil a Family dinner it is a sacred thing for me. I entered with Faith by my side and we sat were indicated. When we sat, she started speaking as always. When the manager came to serve my special wine "Good evening sir we are so happy to see you here" he said while pouring the wine in our cups.
"what May I serve you sir?" He asked with an attentive ear "as usual" I replied unmoved. "And you miss what may I serve you?" He asked her which made our eyes to lock theirselves for a short moment. "I'm alright just a glass of water" , "ok miss" he said and left. "So, let's end what we started and don't botter to ask you will receive your punishment, I haven't thought yet about it but don't bother it will be nice for you ok ?" I asked with a wicked smirk.
"Why are you doing this, what have I done to you why do you want to punish me how was I maid as you often call me supposed to seat with my employer for a dinner. I the person supposed to serve him?" She asked after a long silence almost crying
"because it was a f*****g order I gave you. You have to bé next to me while I eat even for lunch at work you have to be there I don't care how you are going to do that but you will have to" I said almost furious "why do I always have to repeat myself with you?
, can't you just do as I say without asking questions and talking back I'm tired of your stupidity can't even do a simple proper task without bringing in problems , you are useless I wonder where they found you" I said and she stood up flying to the restroom.
"s**t" I cursed as I followed her to the restroom where I saw a lady trying to wipe a stain on her clothes on the mirror area. With that I left I wasn't sure of doing the right thing but I still did.
Some 30 minutes later, Faith came back with a OMG hand print on her right cheek with puffy eyes and I knew I went a little bit far. "What happened to you ?" I inquired "I got slapped because of my stupidity" she replied instantenously at the same time the food I commanded got served. "And I started eating and looking at her well face looking so pale my stomach got filled. And I heard a familiar noise from someone's stomach "who did that to you?, And why you lied about you not being hungry?" I asked
Her in a serious tone "because I am not and I don't know the person who slapped me" she replied in a serious tone a tone I haven't got to know because she have always been so infantile even in her speaches.
"I'm sure she really hates me know" I told to myself but I could care less after all women's are all schemers. I pushed my plate infront of her and left "when you finish meet me in the car".
