A Distance

One week later.

Dave and Lisa's wedding news has been a hot topic since it was announced a few days ago. It's great news, of course, considering how big the name of the Wj Group is in this city.

Lisa has turned off her cellphone which keeps vibrating because of the notifications that keep coming. Various kinds of compliments about her that were packaged sweetly by the media made it awkward, between being embarrassed and not liking it. Meanwhile, Dave is getting busy at the company in between preparations for his wedding.

Jessy keeps teasing Lisa at the Wilson residence. Because Lisa has been forced out of the apartment and Dave continues to force her to stay at William's residence, Lisa has no other choice but to live temporarily with her sister. Jane and Andrea treat her very well, making Lisa feel more comfortable.

"Do I need to come with you? I also want to get to know Dave William closer." Jessy was busy opening the wardrobe. This morning Dave was going to take Lisa to try on her wedding dress, and Jessy has been waking her up excitedly since this morning.

"You'll see later." Lisa answered briefly. Her eyes focused on the laptop screen, watching something.

Jessy closed the wardrobe in annoyance, finding nothing she wanted.

"I mean, I need to test him how good he is as my sister's future husband. And, hey! are you all wearing shorts, a big T-shirt and these jackets? What's more, they're all black !" Jessy crouched in front of Lisa, her expression looked annoyed.

"What did you expect? A pink dress? That's not my style." Lisa answered, her eyes still focused on the laptop screen.

Jessy looked at Lisa in surprise. How could the nature and style of his younger sister make Dave, the man who owns perfect handsomeness, loving her. And how long have they known each other?

Meanwhile, Lisa just looks like an ordinary teenager, not dressed up, not attractive, nor sexy. There's no way she's flirting with Dave right?

"You've never answered me before, how did you meet Dave? When? How far have your relationship gone?" Jessy asked enthusiastically, sitting next to Lisa who was still focused on watching.

"At the hotel." Lisa answered curtly.

"First meeting, and you guys have played to the hotel?" Jessy covered her mouth with her palms, unable to believe that Lisa, her quiet sister, was not what as she thought.

"Yes."

"Then what do you guys do?" Jessy asked again, her tone getting more enthusiastic.

Lisa glanced at Jessy, then looked back at the laptop screen. Her memory flashed back to her meeting with Dave in the hotel elevator on New Year's Eve. It was her who accidentally bumped into them and put the two of them in an unusual position.

Jessy chuckled, the question was ignored again. Now she was really curious and her sister kept silent again. "So how does it feel to be William's future mistress?" Jessy asked again.

"You want to try it? I'd be happy to give it to you." Lisa answered flatly, lazy to respond. To be precise she had absolutely no intention of being that Mrs.William. Maybe if they had married because they loved each other, she would have been able to answer better.

"Is that true?"

Lisa looked at Jessy who now looked very enthusiastic after throwing her an questions. Look at her ridiculous look. She'd only been married to Dalen not long, and still wanted Dave? Lisa took a deep breath.

"So how did you beat Dave William? Isn't it said that he's being very cold? He's also attended a lot of matchmaking events, but none of them interested him. Other news also says he's been close to a woman since they were in college, has Dave forgotten about it?"

Lisa was silent when she heard Jessy's last sentence.

Dave likes another woman? Is she his lover? Or was Dave dumped by that woman and forced Lisa to marry him?

For some reason, Lisa felt a little disappointed, also sad in her little heart.

....

At ten in the morning, Dave came to pick up Lisa. Jane served him a hot tea while he waited for Lisa to get ready.

Lisa looked at herself in the mirror. Jassy forced her to wear her dress.

Not bad, not too short and black, Lisa can take it. She tied her black sneakers. Jessy had chatted forcing her to wear high heels, also asked her to dress up thicker, of course Lisa wouldn't listen.

Lisa came down five minutes later. Dave smiled happily when he saw Lisa coming. Lisa smiled a little in return. Jane led them all the way to the door.

The sky was clear, with no annoying clouds. The road also doesn't look smooth, it doesn't hinder the car's speed. Dave saw Lisa who was sitting beside him who had not made a sound since earlier. Her gaze continued to look out the car window.

"We're going to my family's private boutique." Dave started the conversation.

Dave tried to stop himself from hugging Lisa since earlier. Since coming down the Wilson family ladder his eyes haven't stopped staring at Lisa. Just because of Lisa's words warning him not to touch her without her permission one week ago, he tried to restrain her. He won't force Lisa, but he will make her accept his feelings, soon.

"Yes." Lisa saw Dave beside her, who was staring at her.

She felt it, Dave who had been staring at her ever since. Lisa didn't know Dave would obey her request, she thought when Dave picked her up this morning, he would kiss her again in front of Jane and Jessy. For some reason, it feels a bit odd and weird actually for Lisa.

"You turned off your phone?" Dave asked quietly.

"Why? can not?" Lisa said awkwardly, almost stuttering.

Dave gave a small smile-he certainly did-Lisa could hear him even though she has her back to Dave's body.

"Thank goodness you just turned it off. I was afraid you'd blocked my number." Dave answered slowly.

Lisa was silent. The corners of her lips lifted slightly, but she quickly hid them again, afraid that Dave would see them.

Thirty minutes passed. They arrived at their destination.

Dave opened the car door for Lisa.

Lisa stepped awkwardly. Several employees greeted them at the entrance. No need to ask how luxurious the boutique is, no doubt about it.

They went up to the second floor, into a comfortable room. Dave pulled Lisa's hand gently, sitting next to her.

The room was filled with beautiful wedding dresses. Lisa's eyes did not blink to see white dresses with various models around her.

"Master Dave, Who will try first?" a female employee brought two cups of tea, asked politely.

Dave looked at Lisa gently, "Let my future wife try it first." Dave tucked Lisa's hair behind her ear, then smiled sweetly.

Lisa was silent. Her heart beat faster, Dave attacked her again. Lisa stood awkwardly, trying to hide her blushing face before Dave saw her.

"Yeah, I'll try first." the female employee smiled, Dave's romantic attitude was certainly a spectacle she rarely got.

Lisa followed the female employee into another room bordered by white curtains. Lisa took a deep breath. Her eyes weren't sore or troubled, how could Dave have such a cute smile?

Lisa fanned her face with her hand, trying to get rid of her blushing face.

Meanwhile, elsewhere.

Emma squeezed her fingers roughly seeing Dave's wedding news that kept popping up for the last few days. She was angry as well. Dave liked her, so how could he marry another woman? The girl in the photo also looks very ordinary in the photo, she is of course much more attractive and beautiful than the woman.

Emma picked up her cell phone, pressed the call button, dialed someone.
