Chapter One
"Hi ! We happen to meet again ! First at the club and now at my favourite lunch restaurant .
Isn't this a coincidence ?!"Richard asked Jodi while drawing a seat for himself .
He looked good in his cashmere sweater coupled with a pair of suede chukka shoes .
“If you'd ask me ,I don't think it's a coincidence ,I think you are stalking me Richard Yap !'” Jodi said bluntly and continued to sip her cocktail without taking a glimpse at him .
While the women were dying to end up in his bed ,she was acting otherwise .
"Ha! I like you ! I mean I like the way you are !
You are so different from all those women who've come into my life ."Richard passed a comment bluntly .
“Why ?! Is it because you couldn't get me in your bed like you do to other women ?!
Listen Richard Yap , I've read a little about your achievements in building Yap Art Paintings Cooperation after you took over the cooperation after your father's demise .
Also ,I read boldly about how you treat women and I didn't enjoy it !
This one was for yesterday ,I don't like to owe anyone .
It's with interest and remember that not every woman fantasizes getting into your bed because some of us are immune to your charms .
Have a nice day ! ”Jodi began to walk away after dropping a few dollars on the table for Richard 's favour the night before .
This once again left Richard in a dilemma; however ,instead of getting angry ,he quickly ran after her ; something so unusual of him .
"Judi Hopps ! "Richard held onto her car door before she could bang it right in his face .
He lowered his head through the window and smiled ambivalently at her .
"Are you always like this ? Do you always drive the senses of men like this or are you just toying with me ?"Richard asked the cold burning fury Jodi ,who felt suffocated by his words .
“Well ,if you'd ask me ,I think you are the one toying with me !
Listen Mr .Man , it's impossible for any man to charm me into his bed !
I get into the bed I want because I want to , so stop this game of yours !
Now if you'd let go of my door , I'd be glad !”Jodi drove off right in front of Richard after she forcefully pushed his hands from the door .
Later that evening , Richard met up with his friends ;Leo and Ken at their usual spot .
"Hey men ! Sup ? "Richard exchanged his usual gestures with his friends and later engaged in a conversation with hard vodkas and whiskeys and some women as well .
"So won't you tell us how your night with your new fish went ,huh ?"Leo asked gulping his glass of vodka .
“Nothing happened ! That lady drives me nuts !
She's not like the other women at all , she's playing hard to get !
Could you believe she sped off on me ?!
Damn it !”Richard hit his fist hard on the table angrily .
"Haha! Did I just hear that she sped off on you ?!
Holy shit ! A woman dared to drive off on Richard Yap , unbelievable ! "Ken added movingly .
“Who does she think she is ?! No matter what she does ,she won't escape from my clutches !
Till date ,no woman has escaped my bed and she won't be the first to do that !
Trust me men ,I will surely drive her in my bed and when I do so ,she will regret messing up with me !
Waiter ,more drinks ! ”
"What did you say her name is again ? "Ken asked .
“Judi Hopps !”Richard added, taking in more drinks .
"Judi Hopps ! The only daughter of the Asian business tycoon Ray Hopps and the celebrity model Elleen Hopps .
She's the creative director of Hopps Cosmetics and has a PhD in Cosmetology and business management ....!"Ken continued to read the news article about Judi Hopps .
“I didn't know that she was that rich and belonging to a good family .
She's a woman of class and status !I should have known this and many more about her .
You know what guys ,see you later ,I gotta catch up with her ! ”Richard left hurriedly to put his plans in place .
"Ding ding!"The doorbell to Judi Hopps' apartment rang .
"Who could be at the door at this time of the night ?"She asked herself and walked towards the door lazily yawning .
“You ?!”She almost freaked out seeing Richard at the door .
“What the hell are you doing here in the first place ?!
And how did you know that I live here too ?!
What the hell! You're stalking me right ?! ”
"At least ,ask me to come in first and then we'd talk .
So ,can I come in now ?"Richard asked leaning against the door .
“Alright ,come in ! But make sure your reason for coming becomes of essence to me !
What can I get you ?!Water ,liquor or juice ?!
Choose your preference !”
"I would have chosen to have liquor but fortunately , there's something here that's sweeter than liquor itself and that's you !
You are the one I want ! "Richard curved his seductive lips into a smile .
“What insolence ! Have you no shame at all ,Richard Yap ?!
Now get the hell out of my house ! Get lost from my sight !
Out ! ”Judi became so furious and the atmosphere was filled with complete disgust towards Richard .
“Hey slow! You got me wrong ,okay ? What I meant was I needed you as a friend and also a business pal .
You never told me that you were the daughter of the Asian business tycoon Ray Hopps .
But anyways ,I know now so there's no need to trouble yourself telling me about it .
Look Judi ,umm! So sorry for the insolent way I behaved with you earlier .
I hope you are still not bored with me because I sincerely want us to be friends !
Good friends ! ”
"Oh please ,cut this drama short because I know and I've seen what guys of your caliber are !
You pretend to be good gents and then later ,you end up going to bed with the ladies after which ,you dump them !
I know them all so stop your little drama of trying to be good friends with me !
Do you know why ? It's because you are doing all this to get me in your bed ; something that will never happen !
Shut your little dump dreams Richard Yap !
Now ,get the hell out of my house and never return !
I hate your hippocratic face ! It's super disgusting and worth being puked out !
Argh! "
