Being Loved By The Billionaire

Chapter 10: Eating Together

"This one is a report from the finance department. It is said that the stock increased to two percent after the last release of the latest project..." Kirsten read with a hoarse voice. It had been an hour already since she started reading so it was natural that her throat is already starting to dry.

Arcus also noticed that.

'It seems like I went overboard'

"Enough."

Kirsten look at him in disbelief as she paused reading.

"What? I'm getting too tired of listening," Arcus's said when he saw how Kirsten looked at him full of doubt.

"Rather than continuing this, accompany me outside. I'm getting sick at this work," Arcus added.

But Kirsten who was just relieved that he finally got sick of her voice, once again showed her displeasure.

"For what?" Kirsten raised her voice and looked at Arcus sharply

Arcus noticed her gaze but he didn't care. Instead, he picked up his wallet and car key and left his seat.

While Kirsten who was annoyed by him had no choice but to follow his steps. His actions say that he wouldn't listen to her complaints so she just stayed quiet until they reach the basement where his car was parked.

Unlike the place where she parked her car, this parking lot seems to be for VIP and was only designed for him seeing as how this place looked elegant enough and there were only two cars parked.

'This guy is really crazy rich'

Not to mention, Arcus has an amazing car. Seeing as how she had never seen this kind of model, it must be a pre-released car. Meaning, that only he, has this.

Kirsten maybe doesn't look like it but she's kind of car lover. Actually, in Paris where she worked as a supermodel, she owns a couple of good cars.

While she was admiring the car, Arcus saw her shining eyes. Unlike what she often show him, her eyes were full of sincere feelings.

His eyes stayed for her for more minutes. Later than that, his heartbeat like crazy so he withdrew his eyes from her, blushing.

'What? I'm crazy. There's no way...'

Obviously, Kirsten didn't notice his state since she was too focused on looking into every inch of his car.

"F*ck! Get in!" Arcus shouted to hide his embarrassment. However, Kirsten flinch at his voice.

From Arcus's point of view, she seems afraid of his sudden voice. For a moment, he regretted shouting like that but since it was already done, he just entered his car leaving Kirsten who was surprised outside.

Of course, as soon as Kirsten saw his actions, she immediately followed him inside, sitting in the passenger seat.

From then on, Arcus drove quietly, he was thinking about why his heart beats like crazy when he looked at her a while ago.

Ever since 'what happened in the past before, his heart never beat that loudly anymore.

Kirsten also stayed quiet thinking that there was no reason for her to speak. Thanks to that, the atmosphere inside the car was far from comfortable. Instead, it's awkward.

Minutes after, they reach a certain place.

An expensive restaurant.

Kirsten was confused. She thought that they'll be going to a meeting in another company but turned out that he was just going to a restaurant.

Due to that, she was even more annoyed at her boss.

'He disturbed me just for this? I thought it was another work and that he needed a secretary for it and not something like this'

But of course, it could still be a friendly meeting.

After all, Kirsten's dad often had this when the company was still doing good. This is when the Ceo and investors want to form a good relationship and trust as comrades with each other.

However, Kirsten thought that it was impossible for Arcus's to actually participate in that kind of meeting seeing how worse his attitude was. Also, it's not like he needs that. After all, investors are the ones who were flocking around them thanks to his excellent skills as a Ceo and the reputation of the company.

"Why are getting mad? You should be thankful that I have no one to accompany me to eat. If not that, I wouldn't have gone here with you."

Kirsten rolled her eyes.

'I am unfortunate, not lucky. Who wants to go with you here anyway?'

She then looked around the restaurant.

'This is definitely for high class'

Suddenly, her stomach roared.

Obviously, Arcus heard it, thanks to that, Kirsten died out of embarrassment.

Knowing the reason why her stomach made a sound, Arcus smiled mockingly at her and said,

"Your face was full of displeasure, you didn't know that you're starving already," Unlike his concerning voice, his face said the opposite.

Knowing that Kirsten turned her head away not being able to deny his words.

"Let's go inside."

There, they entered the restaurant.

'As expected, the atmosphere here is good'

Kirsten thought.

However, she doesn't have time to think and observe the restaurant more as a couple of waiters welcomed them.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Arcus."

Kirsten glanced at Arcus who didn't reply to them, not even a glance or a nod.

'Seeing as how they are welcoming him, this guy must have been a regular here'

The waiters led Kirsten and Arcus toward a secluded dining table.

Obviously, they both sat comfortably while the waiters handed them the menu.

Kirsten scanned the whole menu. There were no prices, just the food.

Realizing that, Kirsten immediately realized that this is indeed an expensive restaurant

Regardless, she was confident that she'll be able to pay for her meal if she order something here.

After all, she's one of the highest-paid models in Paris.

"Don't worry, I'll pay," Arcus said. He still has a smirk on his face.

Kirsten, as always just cursed him in her mind.

"Anyway, are you a regular here? They seem to know you a lot."

Arcus who was smiling a while ago looked at him seriously.

Kirsten was confused at his sudden change so she looked at him closely.

His eyes... contains sadness.

'Why?'

Kirsten wondered.

It's not like she said anything wrong.

"That's not your business anymore," Arcus said as he looked at her coldly.

Kirsten was once again surprised but didn't utter a single word. As of now, the only thing that she's feeling is 'coldness'.

The playful aura that he had just a moment ago, completely vanished.

From then on, awkwardness filled their table along with delicious and expensive foods. However, despite of the excellent foods, Kirsten can't seem to digest the foods.

In the end, she only ate a little bit before putting her silverware down.

His actions are bugging her.
