A Fate Foretold

Chapter 3

'Why is that guy from Spain here in Australia?' Avyrain thought as she washed her hands after using the bathroom

The moment she stepped outside, Arif was there with his back leaning on the wall

"You're done?" Arif uttered as he walked towards her

'What in the world is he doing waiting outside the ladies' room?' Avyrain thought to herself

"Were you waiting for me?" Avyrain asked

"Who else would it be" Arif stated

Avyrain crossed her arms as she said "I don't think I have some business with you"

"Did you already have dinner?" he asked

"I did" she replied

"I didn't" Arif stated

"So?" Avyrain uttered

'What does that got to do with me?' Avyrain thought to herself

"Have dinner with me" Arif stated

"Why would I?" Avyrain stated

"I owe you for helping me out" Arif stated

"I never ask for something in return" Avyrain replied

Arif lightly laughed as he said "Do you want to be a saint?"

Avyrain sighed as she said "Why are you messing with me?"

"I'm not, what's wrong with wanting to repay the person who saved your life?" Arif stated

"Fine" Avyrain uttered with a sigh

"So where are you staying right now?" he asked

"At a hotel nearby" she replied as they walked towards the dining table for two

"I have to take a call first, so order anything you like" Arif stated after Avyrain got seated

"But you're the one eating" Avyrain stated

"Then choose it for me" Arif stated as he walked away

Arif opened his phone and called someone

"Boss, what is it?" the man from the other end politely asked

"I need you to do something for me" Arif stated

Meanwhile, Avyrain was looking through the menu and casually ordered anything

'He said to order anything, then I'll order anything' Avyrain thought

After she was done picking the food from the menu, she gazed at Arif who was at a distance from her

"I wonder who he's calling, for him to have that serious look on his face" Avyrain mumbled under her breath

Just then, Avyrain was caught in a surprise when the investor that she just had a business talk with a while ago politely approached Arif

'Do they know each other?' Avyrain thought

Avyrain was even more surprised when the man bowed his head to Arif then walked away

'Why is a middle-aged investor of ours bowing his head to a man way more younger than him?' Avyrain thought to herself

"Is he a son of a very rich family?" Avyrain mumbled under her breath

Then, Arif walked back towards her and Avyrain immediately composed herself

"Do you know that man who talked to you just now?" Avyrain curiously asked
