His Treasure

Chapter 9

Zane's pov

For four hours I was listening to Julia telling me which dress she'll wear for what occasion. It was exhausting. Xavier was trailing behind her like a lost puppy. He seemed bored the whole time. Even though he was throwing compliments at her here and there, you can clearly see that he was not interested.

"You know Zane, I really love your work. I mean look at these gowns, they are so beautiful." Julia said. Xavier was busy paying for the clothes.

"Thank you, i really appreciate you coming here. Maybe you should visit my boutique often. I'll make sure that every time we have new stock, you'll be the first one to shop" I told her.

"Oh sweetheart, that's very kind of you. Who knows maybe we'll end up being friends. Let's have lunch next week. I mean if that's fine with you" she said staring at me.

"Thats wonderful, see you next week" I said and she hugged me. 

"See you then, thank you" she said as she left the shop.

She seems like a nice woman. "Excuse me mam, Mr Knights left this for you" my p.a informed me,giving me a paper.

"Meet me at Belle's Diner tomorrow, 15:00"

What does he want now?

Following day..

"Amanda, clear up my schedule for the rest day" I told her.

"But Zane you have a meeting with your friend Lily at 15:00" she argued.

"I don't care, reschedule it or something. I'm taking the rest of the day off" I told her as I was packing up my things. Lily can wait. 

"Okay" she said and left my office. I strode out of my office and Amanda stopped me.

"What now?" I asked. "Well I just want to remind you that tomorrow you have a meeting with your management team at the hotel you've just bought, Paradise Hotel." She told me.

"And i'm coming to your house later" she winked at me and carried on with her work. If you wondering why she's coming to my house later, well you know that i don't really have friends since what happened with Lily. Amanda and I have gotten closer and we are friends.

"Welcome to Belle's Diner, please have a seat" A waitress greeted me. I thanked her.

  I spotted Xavier by the table at the corner. Walking towards him, he stood up and motioned for me to seat down at the seat opposite him.

"Hey Zane" he greeted.

"Xavier" I greeted back.

"I'm just going to get straight to the point. That night when you-" I signalled him to stop with my hand.

"Are we here to talk about business or what" I asked.

"Can you just let me finish" he said. I shut up.

"You were right that night when you told me to go home to my wife. I'm a married man and I love my wife.

But from the first time I saw you at the meeting. You ignited something deep within me. What I mean to say is, there is just something about you that attracts me to you. I know its wrong but i can't help it. I know you feel something for me. " he said.

What does all of this mean. He just told me that he loves his wife. So what is he doing here?

"What does all of this mean Xavier? You just told me that you love your wife. Your wife! I do feel something for you" I lied. What I feel for him is deeper than that.

"But you are married! I don't do married men. I'm no homewrecker." I told him.

"You feel something for me. Then lets explore it. We don't need to label it-" I raised my hand and slapped him. How dare he.

"How dare you tell me to be your mistress?" I didn't even wait for him to respond, i got up and went out of the diner.
