When I got off after my shift the familiar silver Jaguar was waiting for me in the parking area. Ian was also waiting for me there with the other car.

"Good evening Mrs. Ryan," Ryder greeted me politely. I borrowed my eyes at him and he was still looking at me with his usual stoic expression.

"Just Liza is fine." I gave him the same stoic look.

"Please forgive me, but I can't," He immediately rejected my words.

"Why?" I asked annoyed.

"Because that is a part of my job etiquette to not call my superior with their first name."

"Then call me Miss. Davis like before."

"But you are not Miss. Davis anymore."

"Arrghhh!" I gave up at last. I was too tired after my long eight hours shift to argue with that stone-face. "Fine! Do whatever you want to do!" I said, pissing off.

Ryder tipped his head a little and opened the car door for me. I inhaled deeply and slid inside the car.

"Hi," Ron smiled at me warmly as his eyes were glinting with affection. He was sitting inside the car in his office outfit. I told him to wait inside his car. Incase somebody recognized him. "How was your day?"

"Yeah, good." I looked for another way to calm down my stupid heart which started to beat way too fast by hearing his voice. "How about you?"

Ryder got inside the car and straightened up on his seat. Ready to take command.

"It just got better." He smiled teasingly. "And I am feeling it is going to get better and better."

My cheeks tinted with pink dust as blood flushed my face.

"Where are we going?" I asked as I cleared my throat to cover my baked cheeks.

"Somewhere nice." Ron turned to Ryder. "Let's go."

We stopped by a high class looking restaurant. Ryder quickly got off and opened the door for Ron. Before Ron could reach to me I unlocked the door myself and got off.

"I am not a princess." I rolled my eyes when I saw his dejected look.

"To me you are more than that." He smirked at me.

I bit my lower lip forcibly to prevent a smile which slowly and persistently started curving up at the corner of my lips.

"Shall we?" He reached out his hand to me. I cursed under my breath when I took his hand immediately by instinct. Ryder drove off to the parking area. Ian followed him in his car.

"This place looks like it only accepts some VIP or celebrities." I looked around doubtfully. "Are you sure they will let me in?" I pointed at my outfit, a plain white t-shirt with the superman logo with a pair of plain jeans. "What are we going to do, if they stop us from entering?"

Ron held my hand more tightly and pulled me a bit more closer to him. He looked in my eyes straight and confidently. "Then I will just buy this place right that moment."

"Hah!" I scoffed with amusement. "Bullshit!" Although I felt butterflies inside my stomach.

"Mr. and Mrs. Ryan." A man with a bowtie greeted us politely as soon as we reached the entrance. "Please this way."
