Desperately into you

CHAPTER 4

He's quiet while his serious gaze is just focused straight on the way to the ballroom.

When they're already at the entrance of the grand double door, they immediately caught the people at the party's attention. The splashing of the cameras in their direction made this man curse under his breath and even his curse hit different, or maybe I'm just getting out of my mind.

Karina silently rolled her eyes and look at her creamy arms wrapped around his nape, what is it again? he doesn't like profanities but he just cusses a while ago!..

Everyone is looking at them with a questioning look, and murmurs from the girls who are watching them started. She slightly dip her face on his chest to hide her face because she was receiving a glare from the girls who's obviously have a hots for this man, ohh I don't even know his name, yet. It's not that she's afraid or shy, she's just trying not to look at them before her hands will absentmindedly show a middle finger to those bitches glaring at her as if she did something wrong.

The mellow music engulfing the place is very soothing.

''Oh, Cassidy! What happened?" The voice of my mom interrupts my deep thoughts. Oh, I didn't notice that the man who was carrying me already stopped in front of our table. I looked at him but still, he stayed po-faced. how'd he know that I was sitting at this table anyway?

I shrugged and turned to my mother Looking at her with astonishment and a bit worried. I also saw my father who's now walking towards back to our table and he's with Mr. Boromeo Bandini who's smirking while looking at us as if he has just seen something pleased his eyes.

" Nothing mom, I'm good," I answered. and looked back to this man who was carrying me, he slowly placed me on one of the chairs. Then he stood up straight and put his hands in his pocket, I saw nodded to my mother who was smiling at him, oh? they knew each other?

And again I could hear those girls giggling while glancing in our direction, probably this man standing handsomely with a stoic face in front of me is the reason. I can't blame them though.

" Viel." Mr. Bandini called him.

''I'm glad that you already knew each other,'' Mr. Bandini cheerfully added. " Isn't she lovely? son?" He said while looking at each of us, smiling.

And that's when the realization hit me.

His son!?

It simply means that he's the inheritor of their wealth. 'cause I just found out that his dad is also one of the business tycoons just like dad.

He didn't bother to answer, he remained silent

before he slightly nodded his head like he just want to get this done.

arrogant!

My father was just watching us before they decided to take a sit including this man beside me who lazily rested his back on the chair after his father told him to join them. After I said that nothing really serious happen, her mother held my arms afterward before she spoke.

" I want to formally introduce our daughter to you, Viel," Her mother started while the two old men discussed something about business.

" This is Karina Cassidy, our daughter" My mother introduced me before she turned to look at me.

" And this man here Cassidy is the son of Mr. Boromeo," She said while smiling, ''he's Viel Bandini."

I'm sitting between the two, I slightly nodded my head and glance at him, and I just saw him having a conversation with my dad. Well, I didn't expect to hear 'nice to meet you' from him though.

" How have you been, Viel?" I heard my dad ask.

" Doing good Mr. Tyson," He answered in a formal voice and sip on the glass of drinks that he get from the waiter a while ago. my dad let out a weak chuckle.

" Cut the formalities, Viel. " He said.

the latter just nodded and again he stayed silent as he rested his arms on the table, I can't help but look at his protruding veiny forearms there's a thin hairy on them. My eyes went to his dirty blonde hair again, that cute top knot really looks cute on him, and think I've been complementing that since earlier when I first saw him.

I almost gasp when his gaze met mine. This guy has this undeniably perfect feature that I couldn't just ignore, just like his different colored eyes which made him more hotter and unique.

I was taken aback when he raised his thick brows at me before he averted his gaze to look at his father and my dad who were busy talking.

" My goodness! why are you barefoot,?'' I looked at my mother when I heard her irritatingly mumble while glancing down.

" I took it off and I think I left it in the garden, but the good thing is that my foot is not hurting anymore, mom. so let's just focus on the bright side."

Karina answered nonchalantly in a low voice while she slightly rub her feet on the cold marble floor. What's wrong anyway? this is much more comfortable than wearing one.

'' I don't know what to do to you, Cassidy!" Her mother said in distaste and the disappointment in her eyes is visible.

Why have to overreact? Tss. some women love to exaggerate things.

" Where are you going, Viel?''

I looked at Mr. Bnadini's son when I heard his father ask him.

'' Excuse me, I'll just have to check something in my room, dad." He responded in a calm voice before he nodded at my dad and to his father and then his piercing gaze went to us, but that's just a split of seconds before he strode his way from the huge door out from here. I could see girls greeting him with their seductive smiles but it seems like he doesn't mind, and that's good. she thought.

I can't get my eyes off his broad back until he's completely gone from my sight.

I sighed when I felt my heart beating in its unusual rhythm.

This is not a fairy tale, 'cause he's more charming than the prince described in the books. and most of all I'm going to say this again, he looks so gorgeous in his undercut and in a top knot hairstyle!

My mother excused herself to have a conversation with those businesswomen, her friends perhaps. And I was left on our table with these to two men since I prefer to just sit here than stroll around.

''You should hone this beautiful young lady here, 'cause she will be the next to inherit your businesses." I slightly smile when I heard Mr. Bandini say that while looking at me and back to her father.

"Yeah, of course." Her dad simply answered.

''Guests' rooms are prepared and I'll be glad if you'll stay for the night"

I already want to fly back home, but on the second thought, I have this urges deep down to see Mr. Bandini's son again, so staying here for the night is not a bad idea at all. I shove that thought, it's my very first time getting curious and interesting about something or should I say, someone. Well, it's because He's something, and he's way older than me which gives me a thrill! So dealing with an uptight man like him who's years ahead of me is somewhat a challenge and interesting.!! and a grin formed on my lips.
