Dinner Date (III)
Davian tried not to show just how anxious he felt while she spoke her next words. It took quite an effort on his part to keep a straight face and not show just how eager he was to know the only way to become someone of importance to the woman he had started to cherish more than his own life.
"If you want to become my partner, then you need to be of some importance to me, Mr. Parker. I don't need a cook to take care of my meals or a man to pamper me, I need someone who will help me build the future I want for myself." Grace stated calmly.
After two seconds of pause, she added, "Of course, the cooking and pampering are welcomed as well."
She spoke the sentence with such calmness and a straight face that even she felt deceived by her own acting. She sure was getting better at this - or at least that's what she believed.
