Ultimate Satisfaction

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

Davina's POV

For some reasons, i dreaded asking lilian to move in because i'd stolen the better part of her life when i asked her to take custody of adrian. Probably that's why she didn't have a boyfriend yet, still, i couldn't help but ask her if she wanted to;

"Umm..lily."

"Yeah." She looked at me. "What is it?"

"I don't want you to see this the wrong way okay, i'm just worried that all."

"What is it davina?"

"Would my baby sister like to move in with...."

"No."

"You didn't even let me finish...."

"No davina, no."

"Alright, alright. Like i said, i was just worried for you."

"I can take care of myself." She said, bringing out the chips for adrian.
"Go run your errands so you come prepare for your dinner date."

"It's not a dinner date, it's just dinner."

"But mr. Hoodie said it's a dinner date." Adrian said with his mouth full.

Lilian chuckled.
"Don't talk with your mouth full honey." I said, then faced lilian.
"Thank you for coming."

"It's my day off, i'd be bored to stupor if i stayed home alone."

"Still, thank you."

"You're welcome."

Agent sally texted the location, so i went in to get ready, leaving the aunt and nephew seeing a movie. I didn't think it would be possible to come back home to ready for the dinner with mr. Allergy, so i just go ready ahead of time. I opened my closet, picking a blue long sleeve ruched bodycon dress;

"Nope, too sexy."
Then i picked another dress, a red off shoulder split dress;
"Not a date davina, something for a casual dinner." I roamed through the wardrobe and found the perfect outfit for my 'dinner meeting' with mr. Allergy, had to keep reminding myself so i don't overdo it with the jewelry and makeup too.
Putting on the white floral knee length halter dress, a simple silver jewelry set and a light makeup, i hung a nude drape coat to conceal the outfit until it was time to reveal it. I walked out of my room, kissed adrian goodbye and was about to head out;

"Hold on!" Lillian called out, i stopped and turned to look at her.
"I'd like to see the dress going with those strapped heels and white purse."

I sighed, untied my coat and flipped it open.
"Happy? Good for you?"

"Nope, but that'll do."

Rolling my eyes, i said my goodbyes and disappeared before she changes her mind and decides to doll me up for imaginary prince charming. Leaving the car behind should incase lilian needed to take adrian out, i flagged a cab and got in. Arriving at the location, i couldn't believe agent sally was a lover for artworks, a museum?

"An art museum? I would never have guessed." I said as soon as she received me by the entrance.

"There are a lot of things you don't know about me vina."
We walked in, there were many paintings on display and a few people with piqued interest.

"I don't suppose i'm obliged to?"

"Not if i mind though." She smirked and i smiled.

"Typical sally, for a woman in her late thirties, you're so secretive."

"Disadvantages of the job." She stopped by a painting, she admired the man in it, face half covered. "In my line of work, being vulnerable puts you six feet beneath the ground." She said, i found that so sad. She signaled the person in charge and ordered that they park up the painting, then she turned to me.
"Why dress up so pretty if you're just going conceal it?"

"I have a dinner meeting later on. By the way, why did we have to meet up here?"

"Maxwell might be clueless sometimes, but he's not totally stupid. He's digging into your personal life."

"What?"

"You can relax for now, everything is covered. But you need to stay alert, i know you're moving to the fourth floor because of adrian."

"How did you know that?"

"How do you think?"

"His twin must have informed Mr Zane about it already, it hasn't been decided yet. I'm having dinner with mr. Al....i mean mr. hudson about it."

Sally chuckled softly, "i don't think that's what the dinner is about though."

"What was that?"

"I said good luck on your dinner date."

"Not you too, it's not a date."

"Oh?"

After an hour later, when sally and i had finished discussing about the important matters, i got into the car mr. Allergy sent to get me. He actually did call this time as promised, did he actually promise? Oh whatever. I didn't know why i was anxious, like i missed him and couldn't wait to see his face again:

Calm down davina, it's just a casual dinner remember, please behave.

The car finally pulled up thirteen minutes later, i stepped out and walked into the exquisite restaurant;
"Miss colton?" A waiter whispered, i nodded and my drape coat was retrieved from me before i was ushered to the VIP section. There he was looking so dashing and handsome in his black suit, with his white shirt missing three buttons at the top, i was tempted to button him up.

How could you expose your chest like that.

"You look so beautiful tonight." He said after he pulled a chair for me and sat back.

One point, a gentleman. Stop it! Focus.

"Thank you, you looking dashing as well."
He smiled, his jet black hair looked like he just stepped out of the shower, but it was obviously his hair gel, he'd showered hours ago. Wait, did he dress up for me?

"Thank you."

"So, i...."

"Let's order first davina, it's a dinner 'date', not a business meeting."

"Again with the 'date' thing. It's not a date, just dinner....with a friend."

"Alright, can we order, dear friend?"

I nodded, couldn't believe he made that sound so endearing like he said something else, my heart's racing.
