Chapter 119 - 119: Little flower
Jenna"s jaw dropped by the pa.s.sionate scene in front of her. Never once she saw Daniella getting intimate with anyone, she still remembered how hard it was for James to even hold her hand.
She gulped hard and looked aside anxiously to avoid watching it.
It was not a simple kiss, and the couple would probably win the kissing compet.i.tion if they were in one.
On the other side, Daniella freely opened her mind and let Evan see the thoughts and memories she had with James. It played like a movie while she saw how hard it was for him to get through the weekend without talking to her.
Her hands which were still holding the burger dropped it and went to Evan"s shoulder, she pulled away and gasped for air.
"I am sorry. I didn"t know," she murmured silently with guilt, her eyes shone as she stared at Evan. She was so blinded by her jealousy and deal with Ken that she disregarded his feeling
He smiled at her, the usual smile that he always gave her.
Lifting a hand, Evan patted her wet hair.
"It"s fine, I am glad you came back," he whispered back, he leaned closer to her again though this time their lips didn"t touch, just their foreheads.
"I will always come back to you babe," she giggled like a teenager in front of her crush, "and I"d loved to kiss you more but I am hungry."
As they all started with their food, Ken who had just bitten his burger looked at the crumpled envelope on the table near Daniella"s plate.
He stretched a hand and took it without asking for Daniella"s permission.
"Hey, give it back to me," Daniella asked softly, she had been yelling in the diner she had forgotten that she should be acting like a naïve girl in front of Ken.
Ken moved his hand swiftly before Daniella could take the envelope from him, then he got up and lifted his hand with the envelope in the air.
Daniella"s nose wrinkled, she got up hastily and walked past Glen despite the small s.p.a.ce.
Standing in front of Ken, Daniella reached for the paper, but her arms were too short compared to his that even if she jump she still couldn"t reach it.
"Ugh! Give it to me," she begged in a broken voice, making her eyes wet with tears.
"Wait, let me see what"s inside first," Ken stated, he even tiptoed to make sure that Daniella wouldn"t reach his hand while his other hand was on her head stopping her from getting closer.
"Give it back!" this time, Daniella"s voice sounded firmer.
"Get it, no one"s stopping you," he said and withdrew his hand from her head.
Getting her freedom, Daniella went closer and jumped as high as she can.
"Hehe," Ken suddenly laughed, "how can you be so short?" he said teasing her.
"I am not short," another groan left Daniella"s lips as her attempt to s.n.a.t.c.h the envelope was failed, "You are just taller than me," and once again she jumped but failed.
"Hehe," another laugh left Ken"s mouth "let me see what"s inside," saying that, he opened the envelope with his hand in the air.
Immediately, Evan and Glen sitting next to each other talking about their business proposal to Lumax shifted their sight to Ken after hearing him laughing, both of their eyes narrowed in suspicion and shock.
"Babe!" Daniella irritably yelled as she shifted her sight to Evan asking him to stop Ken "do something!"
Evan sighed, "Ken give it to her."
But Ken didn"t listen instead he squinted when he noticed a photo and a folded paper inside.
Daniella gulped hard, she"s not bothered by the letter inside but the photo, the only thing she saw was the back of the photo and she quickly recognized it based on the words written at the back and the date on it.
It was her on her 18th birthday. The day she removed her gla.s.ses and had her photo taken next to James.
Her body froze as she watched Ken stiffened, he had his eyes narrowed staring at the photo.
Soon his face darkened while the corner of his lips curled a wicked smile.
"I will keep the photo, here"s your letter," saying that Ken slumped the letter on the table and sat down.
Daniella gulped hard; she knew that Ken must have realized who she really was.
"What is it?" Evan asked curiously at Ken.
"Nothing," he replied but his narrowed eyes were throwing a piercing look at Daniella.
"Show me the photo Ken," Evan ordered firmly.
Wrinkling his nose, Ken swayed the photo in the air, showing it to everyone.
"See? It"s just that little flower"s photo with some douche," he said and with a rush - folded the photo and put it in the pocket of his coat.
Evan"s face flattened to see it, he suddenly wondered what happened between Daniella and Ken that the latter has suddenly started giving her names and even laugh, something Ken had never done in the public especially in front of a woman.
"Daniella, sit down," Evan said in a cold tone, patting the s.p.a.ce that Daniella left earlier. A strange feeling swept over his mind, devouring him with sudden jealousy.
Daniella sat down obediently, it"s now clear that Ken has finally recognized her. As she sat down, Ken suddenly took a tissue and wiped her cheek with the mole she drew earlier.
"You have dirt," he said but it was strained with sarcasm while his face was flashing a cold winter expression.
Since then, their table became quiet.

Meanwhile…
Elise in her hotel room was elegantly sitting on her couch with the teacup in her hand, opposite of her was Camille"s parents and her ex-husband.
As she lowered the cup onto the table, she plastered a smile, "Andrew Su has confirmed that he would like the Lee"s to be part of the Su," she then turned to her ex-husband asking him to continue.
Alvin cleared his throat, he felt guilty for doing this to Alexandria"s daughter but he didn"t have a choice given the lifestyle Daniella has.
"I have asked Anders to prepare a room for Camille, she can stay there for as long as she wants"
Camille"s mother flashed a concerned face, "what about the babysitter. Didn"t she have a relationship with Evan?"
From the bathroom, Camille emerged, "mom don"t worry. I spoke to Evan, just like the other girls he had been with, he will surely get tired of her," she sat down casually on the single chair opposite of the elders, "we have known each other since childhood."
Alvin"s eyes narrowed at Camille; he honestly didn"t care who would marry his son for as long as it was not Daniella.
"Great, maybe we can have the V Magazine feature you in their magazine cover and have the photo shoot at the Villa," Camille"s mother excitedly said.
Camille smiled back at her, took her phone out of her purse and dialed her manager"s number.
"h.e.l.lo Brant, could you ask the V Magazine if they can feature me for next month?" She said as soon as the other line was answered.
"But you were in the last month cover, I am not sure if we can have it for next month." The other line replied.
Camille took a deep sigh, one thing she hated was when people said it"s impossible, "tell them that I will be staying at my fiancé house, at the Su villa."
The other line went silent and soon the voice of her manager full of excitement said, "alright, I"ll make a few calls."
With a triumph smile, Camille ended the call.
"I will have my a.s.sistant prepare my stuff," she turned to her parents, "don"t worry about me, no one knows Evan better than I do."
