FIND HER
880 Words
Leo's POV
I couldn’t help but marvel at her face as her growl resonated throughout the room. Her skin is smooth like silk, her eyes as if enticing you.
When I spotted her lips, I carefully moved my face closer…
And I was shortly jolted up by the loud ringing of my phone.
“What? Have you changed your mind, and are you determined to never return to your old self?” As a result of my father’s foreword, I squinted my eyes. I had only just awoken, yet his preaching instantly opened to me.
Just imagine, if a ferocious lion is giving a low decibel growl, you’ll need to worry about if he would pounce on and tear you into pieces.
As a response, I softened my tone in order to prevent adding to his tension.
“Please, Dad, not now. Why did you call?”
“Listen carefully. This weekend, there will be a family gathering; you must come!” The Tyrant made his declaration to me. “If you don't show up, I won’t save your sully reputation! I’m sick of hiding your holes!”
“Don’t worry, I’m going.” I felt bored while responding to him. “I’m going to hang up because I still have work to do.” I lied.
I did not wait for him to react and immediately disconnected the conversation. I returned my phone on the table’s side, stood, and walked directly to the washroom.
I instantly moistened my face with water and peered in the mirror. My two hands were placed on the sink as I reflected on the events of the previous night.
I can't believe I became enamored with that woman.
My heart tickled as the event flowed along with the water, yet I couldn't help but clench my hand in response to her abrupt departure.
I won't let her get away like that!
I’m going to contact my personal assistant.
He answered the call after the first ring.
“I want you to find someone.” I thought for a moment and remembered that I didn’t even get that woman’s name. “Investigate who was with me last night at Raymond’s villa. Find out everything about her as well as her record; keep an eye on her.”
“Got it, sir. Don’t you have anything else to order?”
I hesitated for a second.
“Also, find out who was the last man she had a relationship with.”
I cut off the line after I gave him instructions. When I hung up the phone, there was a knock on the door.
Is she back? My heartbeat violently.
But when I opened it, Raymond welcomed me with a straight and playful smile.
“Look at you, looking s**t despite what my maid reported to me.” He lifted and lowered his eyebrows as if implying a message. My face grew even more irritated because of his words.
“What?” I’m not in the mood.
“My maid informed me this morning; she saw a lady running away from your room. The woman is pressed for time.” He shrugged and crossed his arms on the door.
I stayed mute and did not reply to what he asserted. The bitterness awoke inside me each time I imagined the girl had abruptly left me.
“To be completely candid, I’m quite surprised.”
“And why is that?”
“I know you. I’m the only person I know who you trust with your secret. I know you’re just pretending to play with a lot of girls because it’s the only way for you to stop the pain that’s still lingering in your heart." He paused briefly, probably thinking I had something to say, but continued. “To keep yourself standing as if you hadn’t fallen.”
Well, sometimes Raymond is so incisive that he makes me feel a bit embarrassed. I coughed unnaturally.
“I was irritated with her because she stated she would pay me! Am I that sort of man? I feel like she exploited me because after we did, uh, ‘that’, she simply left and assured me that she wouldn’t bother me, and we would be strangers again.”
I even told him everything that had occurred, how I had met her and how she had pressed me. I didn’t miss anything in my story.
“Can’t you believe it?” I grumbled to him.
Raymond laughed out loud as he gripped his stomach. He was also wiping the corner of his eye due to the extreme laughing.
“Do you know why you are like that now?” He was already fighting his laughs.
“Why?”
“Because you have the admiration you have for her! She captured your heart away since her determination and face are appealing to you!”
I could not speak because of what he explained. Even though I wanted to reject it, it was as if something had lodged in my throat.
“How long are you going to wait? Locate that lady! Tell her of your feelings!” He clapped me on the back.
My lips curved into a grin, not saying that I already did.
But I don’t fall for her.
Never.
