We reached to a restaurant after driving for a while, it was classy and elegant, I became totally calm and stiff after knowing that he's practically the owner of the company.
He noticed the change in my behaviour and asked me "what happened now"
"Huh...what, no nothing, everything is fine" I smiled and said
He didn't believe that, he kept staring at me for a few minutes, I avoided his eye contact.
He ordered a salad and some starters, I kept quite almost entire time, he grew impatient,
" You know I expected this dinner would be interesting but you greatly disappointed me tsk" he made a sound in displeasure.
"Why what happened" I asked him politely
"You were fine when we started but you seem...different" "we can call it a night if you're not comfortable " he asked me concerned
"No nothing wrong, I'm fine" I said with a small smile.
He wasn't convinced
"If something's bothering you we can leave"
"No no Mr. Amos I'm fine, really "
He stood up swiftly
"Come lets go"
I frightened at his actions a little
"Uh..."
"Is everything okay" I asked him innocently
"You called me Mr. Amos again"
I felt a slight relief, is that what made him angry? I rolled my eyes in relief.
"After I told you I'm cousins with Frey your behaviour changed completely"
"No... Mr. Amos...uhhh Anthony not like that.." I tried to reason with him.
He sat again and waited for me to complete my explanation. rested an elbow on the table partly covering his mouth with two fingers and started to stare at me.
For real I don't have an explanation. It looks like he's really expecting an answer. I sighed in defeat and closed my eyes hoping to avoid his stare and said
"I feel uncomfortable around rich people"
For which he let out a laugh.
It was beautiful, even though he's related to Mr. CEO and rich he's completely different from him, he doesn't hold his emotions to look strict or strong around people. He laughs and I find it so attractive. He IS handsome, so handsome that I violated my primary principals such as I would never go to dinner with a man I met a few days ago, for that matter I never went to a dinner with any man, I can't remember the last time I went to dinner let alone with a man.
"Really, Eve that's why you have been acting weird?" He continued to laugh.
*Eve?* I was surprised to hear him call me like that, because we are not friends he's kind of my boss but he took the liberty to nick name me. But I liked it and couldn't object him either. so I kept my mouth shut like it didn't made my heart sink.
"You know sometimes you give me the vibe like Frey, you know like bossy and strict but you're funny, I like it" he said
"Bossy and funny? you sure. I don't know if I'm either of those." I made myself ease enough to have a decent conversation.
"I find you are more than those" he replied.
I'm sure I sensed something bright flick in his eyes, but couldn't decide if it was there since the beginning or those words triggered it. He's going to put me in trouble.
