8. Agree To Be In Touch

The night Antonio had been waiting for, who was now neatly dressed in the new shirt and jacket he was wearing. Don't forget a matching color tie and an expensive watch that will complete your look tonight. The sweet smell of perfume all over his body also beautifies the night he prepared so well.

"Sir. It's just dinner, why are you dressing up like you're going to propose to a girl?"

Antonio snorted at Carol's expression, who had been busy looking at him. He turned and motioned for the man to be quiet and he didn't need to comment because Antonio didn't need that.

"You're just a coward who wouldn't understand any of this, Carol. Just go on with your work and don't bother me."

Carol just nodded in response without intending to leave the chair she had been sitting in for several hours before. Seeing Antonio who was busy preparing everything and just watched and was silent before his mouth itched not to comment.

"You would regret your current appearance if Miss Madline were to even meet you with her tired face after a long day of studying, let alone in rumpled clothes and no longer smelling good. I think my master should understand the circumstances before thinking about his performance."

Antonio who was just about to straighten his tie fell silent. He thought about Carol's words, then looked at his reflection in the mirror which was close to the word perfect. What if Desha looks like that and makes Antonio's preparations in vain? What if it's the other way around or the girl forgets their promise? this made Antonio think again.

Antonio took a deep breath and took off the tie he was wearing, then took off his jacket too and left only a clean white shirt and the sleeves which were now rolled up. Carol who saw that wanted to laugh. The young master is so easy to change his mind even though Carol only said if, and it's not necessarily true, is it?

Antonio just walked out after staring at his new appearance. Just wearing a shirt and a watch with a handsome face. There's no way it looks amazing just for dinner right? If Carol spoke again Antonio would walk away without anything on.

"Sir."

Just as Antonio was about to leave his room, Carol's voice was heard again which made him stop in his tracks. What else would that man say?

"You left your cell phone," said Carol, pointing to a cell phone that was on the nightstand.

Antonio didn't speak and just came back to get the phone and then actually walked out. Leaving Carol speechless with a confused expression in her place. Meanwhile, in another place, Desha had just finished doing her assignments. She looked at the time on her cell phone it was nineteen in the evening. She has an appointment with Antonio tonight.

The girl immediately tidied up her things and put them in her bag and some books she was carrying. She left soon after, but only took a few steps when the phone rang. Desha immediately took the cell phone to see who the person who had contacted her was.

Client!

Desha immediately answered, "Yeah?""Have you met Antonio?"

Desha nodded in response even though she knew that the person on the other side would not see her. Even before he accepted this job, Desha also knew Antonio, even though she only recognized his face and name. Desha had also told her client that she had a nightly appointment with Antonio until the person asked now.

"You don't need to worry. When the time comes, I will send proof to you without bothering me every time," Desha said curtly.

There was a chuckle from the other side but Desha immediately disconnected their phone. She does not like to be disturbed by anyone while she is working, especially when her clients want to know all the plans she has made. For Desha, it would be more time-consuming and of course disappointing because they didn't believe in their ability to do the task. Annoying isn't it?

Right when Desha came out of the campus gate, a car approached her with a light that made her eyes feel dazzled. Desha covered her face with a book so it wouldn't hurt too much because of the car's light.

"You just got home?"

Desha stared at the figure and nodded afterward. Antonio smiled and then took Desha's book and bag for him to bring while inviting Desha to get into his car. They finally leave.

"Are you tired?"

Desha shook her head with a focused look ahead. Seeing the street in a not-so-good mood because of her stupid client.

"You can sleep first and I'll wake you up when we get there."

Desha looked at Antonio who smiled at her and then nodded slowly in response. Antonio turned out to be the type of man who is so sensitive and caring. Another plus for men who can be said to be the target of all these women. Desha complied with Antonio's request because she had not rested at all since noon due to the piling up of tasks due to the leave she was taking.

Antonio smiled after seeing Desha finally close her eyes with a calm face. The man stroked the top of Desha's head and focused on driving again. The goal of inviting Desha to dinner was not far away, but seeing Desha's tired face he finally decided to drive longer so that the girl would have enough rest.

Antonio wasn't like this before with any women, he even tended to be considerate of them at times at any given moment. Just because of seeing a tired face? Antonio didn't think of this before but he felt strange ever since he met Desha. A teenage girl whose age is a little far from Antonio's age but can make him so captivated just because of his indifferent and like a rejecting nature. Antonio always feels challenged to melt Desha's heart from the start, and maybe that's why his concern is much higher even though they've only just known each other.

Antonio drove long enough until he finally chose a restaurant that was closed and let Desha fall asleep with he watching the girl's beautiful face. So serene but also exuding a mysterious aura that Antonio could not easily detect. Desha and her life, Antonio so wanted to see all about Desha.

Desha started to wake up when she felt a hand pat on the top of her head. She looked ahead and found that they had stopped, then turned her eyes to Antonio who was now watching her with an unfading smile.

"Since when did you stop and why didn't you wake me up," Desha said as she rubbed her face to wake herself up.

Antonio shook his head. "The restaurant is closed, why should I wake you up."

Desha looked ahead and sure enough, the restaurant had closed. He looked back at Antonio. "You asked me out just for dinner?"

"No."

"Then?"

"I want to be in a relationship with you."

Desha was silent with a visibly confused face. Her eyes blinked a few times to make sure what she heard wasn't wrong. The target why it's so easy to be captivated by her when she hasn't taken any action.

"Okay. I agree."

Antonio smiled at Desha's innocent answer but didn't look forced. He kissed the girl's forehead which made Desha pensive for a moment.

"Thank you for not mincing words either."
