Chapter 10 - Race 10

Daddy called me early. They were at the airport waiting for their flight. Daddy has a lot of advice about the auction party. He said he called Danny earlier to be my escort later in the party.But he's not available to join me at the party tonight because he took a leave to go home to his province. He takes the opportunity to take leave because the schedule for the upcoming week is clear.

So daddy called Justine instead and he said yes.

He will be my date tonight.

It was only six o'clock in the morning, and I didn't go back to sleep after Daddy called. So I just went to the gym since I did yoga yesterday. I just thought of working out.

After entering my condo, I immediately went to the kitchen to get and drink water. I'm a little bit exhausted from working out and I heard my stomach rumbling.

I didn't think twice about cooking my breakfast, but I had to follow my dietary plan.

After I ate, I went to the terrace to digest the food before taking a shower. A cold breeze greeted me when I opened the sliding door of the terrace. I can't help but close my eyes and feel the cold breeze.

It was comforting and so peaceful, it was like all the heaviness of my heart was suddenly all gone for a while.

In addition, the cars outside the building are not too noisy yet. In addition, so I feel this peaceful.

The phone suddenly vibrated so I opened my eyes and took out of my leggings' pocket.

Text from the banquet where I scheduled for my fitting. I have also registered as their VIP. I have my own fitting room there. So that I won't have a hard time shopping for what to wear tonight.

I went to the bathroom and took a shower. After I showered, I got ready. I'm wearing a black Saint Laurent cut-out mini dress pairing it with black Saint Laurent Jodie platform sandals in velvet, I put on some light make-up and I let my hair loose with a little curl at the end.

When I was all done, I went to the ground. I got in my car and drove away. I was assisted by the receptionist in their VIP room. Their night gowns are lined up there.

"That was just released at our banquet today, ma'am. Only VIP members will be the first to be available for our new designs. " said the sales clerk assisting me.

I looked at their newly designed night gowns one by one.

I chose a velvet colored off-the-shoulder corset satin mermaid gown.

I turned to the sales clerk,

"I'll take this. "I handed her the gown I had chosen.

"It's a good choice, ma'am. This is our new Dessy Collection. "She said, "Aren't you going to try it so you know if it fits you, ma'am?" she added.

I shook my head at her and smiled.

"Not anymore. It fits me. "

When we left the VIP room, I found Einah very angry while she was talking to the banquet manager.

"No, I set an appointment for nine o'clock. Now you're going to tell me that someone is already in the VIP room?! "She said angrily to the manager.

The manager didn't know how to calm Einah down because she was so angry. While the sales clerk next to it was just bowing.

The sales clerk I was with excused herself for a while to wrap my chosen night gown.

"Who is that important VIP member? Why did you prioritize the appointment more than me? I've been a VIP member here for a long time and you're going to do this to me? "I got a little closer to them.

"Me why? " I interject them.

The sales clerk and manager she was scolding turned to me. She slowly even turned to me.

" You?! " I smirked at her.

"Yes it's me. " And devilishly smiled.

I approached the counter next to her to pay for the gown. While she couldn't believe it when she saw me, gaping and staring at me.

The cashier handed me a large paper bag after I paid. I looked at her again and gave her a teasing smile.

And I proudly lifted the paper bag in front of her,then I passed her.

Before I left the banquet, I heard her stomping on the floor in annoyance. I couldn't stop laughing when I got out.

Since it was almost lunch time, I headed to a nearby Japanese restaurant. I haven't eaten Japanese food in a long time. 

I went in but I didn't expect to bump into someone coming out of the restaurant. Fortunately, the take outs he was holding were not spilled.

"I'm sorry, I did not mean to, " I said sincerely.

When I looked up, I was shocked by what I saw.

It's not just who I bumped into today, it was Easton.

Smiling creepily at me.

"It's just you, "I said flatly.

"Hi." he said bluntly while not removing the smile from his face.

I made an excuse for him to pass through the door, but he didn't leave in front of me.

"Maybe you can leave in front of the door, someone will come in." I told him lazily.

But he was stubborn,

"Aren't you going to leave there? "He shook his head.

What the-!

What is wrong with this man?

He remained standing in front of the door staring at me. The side of his lips arched.

"What do you need to leave that front door? "

He poured the red tea he was holding onto his clothes. My eyes widened in shock because of what he did.

This man seems to have a brain aneurysm.

"You owe me a date because of what you did, " he remarks.

What he said to me made my jaw drop. It's like my brain can't process what he said.

I laughed sarcastically in front of him.

"Are you okay, Mr. Easton Torres? Did you hear yourself? "

"You spilled the drink I brought on my clothes. "

This son of the-!

"Are you accusing me of doing that? " he grinned at me.

"Apparently, yes. Who bumped into me? "

I can't stop leering at him.

"But I wasn't the one who threw the drink at your clothes. "

"Didn't you? " He said innocently.

"Come on, Easton! This is so childish! You acted like a high school student! " I was in awe of him.

He threw the empty cup in the trash. He suddenly grabbed my wrist and pulled me into the restaurant.

"What the hell are you doing?! "And tried to get away from him, but he tightened his grip on me even more.

"You owe me a date, so let's go on a date. "

"Are you out of your mind?! "He stopped walking and looked at me.

"No." He answered sparingly, he pulled me closer to him. And didn't realize that we were in the middle of the dining room of the restaurant.

He pulled me a seat,

"Can you please stop this childish act of yours? "

He ignored what I said.

"Sit." He ordered.

I was like a dog for what he did. I reluctantly sat down.

He smiled at me before sitting in front of me.

"So, is this the date you're talking about? " I said sarcastically.

"Yes,isn't it obvious? " I glared at him.

He called the waiter to take our order. I crossed my arms while he was telling the waiter the food that would be served to us.

After that, we didn't say a word until his phone rang. He immediately answered the call. I heard it was about work.

Because I had nothing to do while we waited for the ordered food. I took my phone from the bag I was carrying.

I check my emails and the schedule of my car racing tournament next month.

This competition is quite long, the training I did was also intense. I also always have to take the maroon for maintenance to be checked before racing. It's only two weeks before the competition, then sometimes my schedule is still hectic because of photoshoots.

Our food also arrived right at the end of Easton's call. I put my phone back in the bag, the two of us ate quietly.

Until he himself broke the silence.

"I heard your family is going to the auction party tonight, " he began.

" Yes, but my parents can't go. They have a business trip." I answered while I was busy getting sushi lined up on a plate.

"I guess you can attend the party later. " then took a sip of red tea. "Since your brother Randy will not be able to attend either, you are expected to present your family later, " he added.

"And I assume that you and your family will also be there tonight. "he glanced at me.

" Einah and I met at a banquet. I saw her scolding two staff members a while ago, " he snorted.

"Why? " I shrugged.

"Because my appointment was set earlier than hers. We're VIP members, you know." He just grinned, we didn't talk anymore. We just continued eating until we finished.

We ran out of the restaurant together,

"So, I don't owe you a date anymore." but he grinned.

"Sorry, baby, our date is not over yet. " he said with a dog smile.

"WHAT!? " I yelled.

"Are you serious?! " He nodded.

"Be my date tonight. " he said directly, my jaw dropped again.

I think this guy is going crazy.

I don't know what's going on in his mind. All I can say is that this guy is really going crazy.
