47 You are mine (2)

Joseph decided to flee from the room as the air was tense between the "Couple" but before he left the room, he didnt forget to ask her thoughfully "Doc should I postpone the next appointment?" and without waiting for her answer he ran out of the room.

Samantha was left speechless

Ethan chuckled heartly at her dumbfounded look

"Let's eat outside" Ethan suggested happily

Samantha widened her eyes at his blunt words.

"Mr Go..."

"He's my father. Call me Ethan" he interrupted her

"Okay. Ethan why should I eat with you" she asked crossing her hands in front of her.

"Because you should never say no to a free meal" he replied with a straight face

"...." hmmm that's right

"There's no such thing as free meal. People with ulterior motives..."

He cut her off again "Off course there is. When the person in question is courting you"

"...."

He smirked "And yes I have an ulterior motive 'To make you mine'"

"....."

He ruffled her hair lovingly

"How cute"

"..."

He then walked towards the couch to get her phone and handbag

Holding her handbag in one hand and her hand in the other he dragged the still-dazed-her outside.

Inside a restaurant,

A handsome man and a beautiful woman were starting at each other, sitting beside the window.

Two waitresses were on standby waiting for their never ending staring competition to end.

They looked at each other wondering 'Is this what people say MADLY in love'

The manager exchanged sympathic looks with the waitresses, but didn't dare to interrupt the romantic atmosphere.

If only the main leads of the scene knew what the others were thinking.

Romantic atmosphere your backside!

They were clearly glaring at each other with killing intent.

A cell phone rang breaking the "harmonious" atmosphere between the two.

Hearing the familiar ringtone, Samantha fidgeted through her pocket to find her phone.

Ethan fished out her phone from his pocket, the screen showed an incoming call with a contact named 'Mr Styller'.

Ethan pondered 'it should be her father right?'

"Mr Styller?..." Ethan looked at her with a confused gaze, but before he could ask anything Samantha snatched her phone to receive the call

"Hello"

"Hello Mia, it's dad. Where are you?" A honey like gentle voice came through the phone

"South side" Her reply was simple and curt as always

"Honey come home if you are free this evening"

Her eyes shifted a little, but soon she composed herself "Is there something?"

"Nothing. It's just that your mom wanted to see you" Mr Styller said lovingly

"Got it" she replied before hanging up

"Are we just going to stare at each other and do nothing?" She asked coldly

Ethan leaned over and whispered "What do you want to do, my love?"

Samantha:"...."

Others:"....."

Spare us!!!

"I want to eat I'm hungry" Samantha said as she laid down on the table listlessly

Ethan:"..."

"Hurry up bring us some food, what are you all doing? " he urged the waitresses​

"...."

Finally!!! The manager sighed in relief

"What would you like to eat, Sir" One of the waitress asked politely

"Go bring whatever's good here. Hurry up" Ethan waved them off.

He gazed at Samantha, she has her eyes closed probably taking a nap, she looked so adorable and harmless.

He recalled the way she was talking with her father, she was cold as ever. Does it mean she always acts coldly with others and he is not the only one?

The thought made him happy

But again....

She is so gentle with Zach. Why?

He didn't want to know the answer though

The manager and the waitresses hurried over with the dishes

"These few dishes are our chef's special for today" a few delicately plated dishes were laid out on the table.

Smelling the tentalizing aroma of the food, Samantha couldn't continue to pretend to be dead, she sat up straight and proper, took the cutlery that Ethan passed her and started digging in.

Ummmm... The dishes were very suited to be called chef's special.

The soup was flavorful and fragrant. The chicken bits were cooked till tender. Very delicious
