My Stubborn Mistress

The moment Ca.s.sie entered the restaurant, she immediately captivates the eyes of the guests.

And when the famous, but keeping a low profile President of Crow Cor[poration Quinn walk in, everyone"s eyes sparks.

But, he then walks towards that beautiful lady and those hopeful women yearning for the President"s affection turned into a stone.

Truly, many women from High Society and celebrities wanted to try their luck of meeting the President on the lobby, or in the Hallways, and maybe in one of these fancy restaurants inside the hotel.

Also for those who were very intrigue of the President"s private life, they were served lavishly tonight, with that beautiful scenery they were witnessing. They have been heard already about that gossip and tonight, they did confirm how true it is.

"Ahem! Excuse me, ma"am? If that picture of the President you took, is your plan to post on social media. I hope you have enough wealth to pay the compensation after his Lawyers sue you."

One of Quinn"s securities who casually observing inside that restaurant and spotted one customer took a picture of him and his date.

The waiters also caught other customers who take photos of the President, and so they have been warned the same thing. The president will sue anyone that took a photo of him without his consent then will be posted on social media.

"Happy Birthday. . ."

A greeting from a stranger that brings warmth in her heart, Ca.s.sie never imagine this will be a big impression on her.

"Thank you," emotionally, she replied and was moved by this simple greeting.

"We should order some cake," the guy proposed.

"Oh, but if we do that, then they will be curious and will know I am underage," Ca.s.sie makes sure to whisper the last word.

Quinn laughs s.e.xily. This girl looks so adorable acting this cutely. She seems innocent but for sure, he shouldn"t mess up with her.

"Alright, then let me do one thing," he said.

The manager came back with expensive wine on his hand. The stranger guy whispered to the Manager and he quickly left, then when he came back, another bottle of wine he handed to the guy she had dinner with tonight.

"Here, this is a non-alcoholic grape juice. It looks and tastes like a wine, but it won"t make you drunk." He introduces that to her.

Ca.s.sie is a bit hesitant but maybe he is not tricking her. She keenly examines the bottle and she thinks, it was still sealed out. Yes, he wanted to make sure that it did not open up yet, then put a drug on it. She still needs to be aware of this strange guy.

Ca.s.sie watched the guy pouring the non-alcoholic wine on her gla.s.s, then the wine he prefers for him on his owns gla.s.s.

Ca.s.sie accepts the wine when he offers her the gla.s.s. The guy raises his wine gla.s.s and so she does the same.

"Happy Birthday," he greeted one more time.

She smiled and thanked him. But before she drank the wine, she first drew it closer to her nose and sniffs in it if she could find any trace of alcohol by its scent.

Hmm. . . smell sweet looks like truly it has no alcohol with it. She has a taste and it was good. Ca.s.sie peeps at the guy who enjoyed his wine.

She emptied her gla.s.s and Quinn smiled.

"I know you would like it. I was the--" oopsie!

Quinn holds his tongue. He almost told her that he was the one who brewed it. His mother"s family, the De La Rue owns a winery in Italy, and so he learned how to make wine and even made his signature wine.

Quinn pours more wine on her gla.s.s and he was delighted to see how she"s enjoying it.

They now began eating quietly, so Quinn should bring up something to talk about.

"Have you enjoy your stay at the hotel?" He asked to lighten up the atmosphere.

"Ah, yes. It was nice and comfortable," she smiled.

Ca.s.sie was currently slicing the steak when she remembers something.

"And oh, the crew was very polite and attentive. The boss should give his employees a generous amount of bonuses."

Quinn was about to put the sliced steak on his mouth when the young girl stating something very interesting. He let out a low chuckle but still, it reaches Ca.s.sie"s ears. She looks up and staring at him.

Quinn meets her gazes then smiled warmly, he needs to give her some comment from himself.

"About that, I will let the President know."

"Oh? Glad to hear. I knew it! You were working here, right?"

"Ah, yes," Quinn answered.

"Then, you are some kind of executive director here?"

Quinn was grateful that she stays looking down on her food because a smile playing on his lips.

Ca.s.sie hasn"t noticed but she became comfortable around him. They continued eating with light conversation.

He did ask if what the reason for her stay in the hotel and Ca.s.sie answered the truth. Celebrating her birthday is one thing, then shopping, and touring a few places in the city is the third thing she and Joanna planning to.

That"s right, they were supposed to stroll around the city but looks like, they have to postpone that if she still doesn"t feel better.

"Alright, I"ll call the waiter to pay our bills," Ca.s.sie stated after they finished eating and now just enjoying the desserts Quinn ordered.

"Wait-- it"s on me, don"t bother about it," he smiled.

Ca.s.sie was shocked. "What? But I reserve this table and it"s my birthday, at least this is my treat for accompanying me tonight."

"That"s what am saying then, it is your birthday so let me treat you," Quinn insisted.

"No. You don"t need to do that. Let me pay for it," Ca.s.sie a.s.serted.

"Am serious," Quinn didn"t stop offering to pay their food.

"Then how about half share?" Ca.s.sie suggested.

Quinn laughs. She was a really amusing lady, he thought. Ca.s.sie was a bit confused about his reaction.

"It will look me, not gentleman if I allow you to do that. Let me take care of it, okay? I insist!"

Ca.s.sie wants to protest but the guy is determined and so she just accepts his offers.

"Am-- thank you so much. Really, you don"t need to pay for the food."

"Don"t mention it. Just buy me a coffee next time," Quinn propositions.

"Oh, sure!" Ca.s.sie replied enthusiastically. She didn"t notice that a little, she began opening herself to him.

"Well, thank you again. But I need to go back to my suite, am worried about my friend who isn"t feeling well."

"Oh, good thing you mentioned! I"ll ask the chef to make her a herb soup," Quinn offers.

"Wow. You surely know the chef, of course. . . but it"s too much already," she said delightedly.

"It"s a small thing. Wait here, oops, what suite you checking in?" he asked.

"Ah, room 05016," she answered.

Ca.s.sie observes him stood on his feet then approaches the restaurant manager and looks he is giving some instructions.

He came back to her table and informed her that everything is settled now, and the crew will deliver the soup and some light foods.

"Thank you very much, sir. I"ll go now then," Ca.s.sie rose from her chair.

"Let me escorted you until the elevator," Quinn offers.

"Oh, okay." Ca.s.sie was speechless.

What is this? He seems giving her so many extra favors. Is he after about something? Ah, her crazy mind thinking too much once again.

Ca.s.sie strides towards the door and she could feel the guy walking too close to her. She chooses to ignore him. Besides, she"s already been uncomfortable from the eyes that watching them.

"By the way, use the other elevator."

Ca.s.sie gasp when he suddenly holds her elbow and gently pulls her towards the elevator now she knew, it is only for this Hotel"s executives employees.

The guy"s palm is warm and sending tiny electricities throughout her body, her heart beating crazily again.

Ca.s.sie saw how the elevators were crowded. She nor understand him and felt lucky indeed to get this kind of special treatment on her birthday.

Well, maybe that"s the reason why he put an extra consideration because he felt pity for her on celebrating her birthday, alone.

Sadness began filling her heart. This is just "a night to remember".

Like in "a modern Cinderella"-- that when tomorrow comes, they will back to the reality, that they were just two strangers meet in a Fateful night.

The security who guard that Executive elevator bows to them and Ca.s.sie did not notice how the guy almost spill out the word "president" when he greeted them a good evening.

She was on her owned thoughts and unconsciously entered the elevator when it opens.

Quinn noticed her silence but did not attempt to ask. For him, she is a somewhat mysterious and interesting lady.

Of course, all the women he meets are showing interest in him. They were all ready to strip off their clothes in front of him.

But this girl, it is not that she was this young. He saw a lot of younger than her but already been flirtatious to any guy.

It seems that she often on her thoughts and had her owned world he cannot get in that easily, he does feel that.

The elevator opens and she thanked him one more time, she made hurried steps from getting out the lift without caring a glance at him.

What happens?
