Go my child, have fun

Violet had already come into a decision to take up Raven's offer of helping her in finding someone she could distract herself with... and probably marry for the sake of her grandfather.

He was right, Andrew wasn't getting any younger, he was just getting older and who knew how many years he had left. That enough was convincing enough for her to look for someone to marry even if it was out of love.

"I have someone I know. Don't worry, he's two years younger than me." Raven said from the other side of the call.

Violet chuckled a bit, "He's still older than me..."

"That's better, isn't it? He'll die ahead of you." He replied as a joke to which he managed to make her laugh even if it was a small one.

"So... what kind of person is he?" She asked curiously.

"You'll know him once you see him. I don't want to give spoilers you know. All I can say is that he's a good friend and a good man."

It was kind of funny how she wished that man could be him instead. The more she talked with Raven, the more comfortable she became with him.

'Violet! What are you thinking?! That's wrong! Totally wrong! He's married! Don't fall for him!' She inwardly scolded herself.

"I'll pick you up tonight, okay? Give me your address."

...

Since she was already told ahead that they were going to a high-end bar, she dressed appropriately for the place and made sure she wore her armor; her makeup to look attractive.

Wearing a sexy and classy dress didn't have to be revealing as long as she knew her assets. She wore a pink rose off-shoulder dress that reached until her knees. Her hair was styled into a high bun just to have her neck exposed.

The place they entered was a classy joint and only guests with membership cards were allowed to enter.

Raven led her to a vacant table. He looked around the place just to check if their target has arrived.

Some were dancing, some were chatting and drinking. The place was filled with loud music and it was something Violet wasn't used with.

"He's not here yet," sighed Raven. "I guess we have to wait."

She could hear him clearly since he was just sitting beside her.

Her eyes darted around the room, her heart thumping loudly because of how nervous she was. "How should I start a conversation with him?"

She was not the type to flirt around. Should she say hi? After that, then what?

Raven noticed her anxious eyes, making him chuckle, "Don't worry about that. Besides, if you don't like him, I can just look someone else for you." He patted her head like a big brother looking out for his innocent sister.

She sighed heavily. She can't back out now. She was already there but the longer she waited, the more anxious she was. She could even feel the cold sweat trickling down her forehead.

Good thing tho, Raven was able to distract her by entertaining her as they conversed while they had their drinks.

"Ah, there he is."

Violet at once turned her head towards the way Raven was looking and there she saw a tall, handsome man that entered the place. What caught her attention was... his messy hair. Did he style it that way?

The girls he passed by ended up looking his way since he was that handsome although she preferred Raven's angelic features instead of his friend's devilish features.

"You said that he's a good man," Violet said while looking at the man.

"Yes, I did." Replied Raven.

"Then why does he look like a rapist?"

"Pffft!" Raven couldn't help but let out a laugh at her remark. "That I can't deny! Hahaha!"

She turned to the laughing man and furrowed her brows, obviously not amused with how things were.

Raven pursed his lips and tried his best to control his laughter. "Just because he looks like a rapist doesn't mean he's one. Don't judge a book by its cover. Trust me, he's definitely a good man."

"..."

He was kind of convincing thanks to his angelic features but still... She couldn't help but doubt his words.

She sighed in defeat. Oh well, first impressions are mostly wrong. She cracked her knuckles. "Fine, let's get on with this."

Raven raised an amused brow, "Why do you look like you're about to beat up someone?"

"Can I?"

He took the glass of juice and handed it to her instead, "He's looking for me so I'm going to hide." He stood up and was ready to camouflage himself with the people who were dancing. "Go my child, have fun." And with that, he left her there.

She heaved out another sigh. Raven was truly full of surprises.

Violet stood up and looked at the man who was standing near the counter, looking around, finding for his friend. Some women approached him but he declined them since he was looking for Raven.

"Here goes nothing. Don't jugde the book by its cover, Violet." She muttered to herself before she headed her way towards the man.

Just when she was a few feet away from him, she ended up taking the wrong step with her heeled shoe making her slip all of a sudden.

Violet ended up falling towards him and what was worse was when she ended up, pouring the juice on his shirt.

It was something she didn't do on purpose that was why she ended up looking at him in surprise, "Oh no! I'm so sorry!" She quickly took her handkerchief to wipe his shirt. "I'm really so sorry! I didn't mean to do it!"

The man was obviously shocked at first but by reflex, he caught when she fell on him. Good thing he was able to maintain his balance. "Man, what a unique way to try to get your way in me." He mumbled. He saw her walking his way earlier before she slipped that was why it was only normal for him to think that she did it on purpose.
