JANE:Heal Me 💔

The Name

Ben's pov

I had a feeling she doesn't know who I was,since mostly everyone in this city knows about Franklin enterprise and for some reason I find that oddly refreshing.

At least I did get to know her without her trying to seduce or use me to climb  the social ladder but I have theory going on that she isn't in the slightest bit interested in me or want to get to know me at all.

This leaves me wondering how much her parents told her about me and I think very little seeing the way she "greeted" me.

We were waiting for the waiter to get her a glass of water and my own drink  too before we order our meal.

So, Miss Moore I heard you are into a cooking business.I've always prided myself on getting to read people through there facial expression but she isn't showing anything.

I have to admit am having a hard times sorting her out.She looks like someone who has way too much confidence for someone her social status.Am just saying it has I see it and I like that about her.

I mean everything about her is just not adding up!To be honest she's too plain looking to have that much confidence though her curves her to die for but the lack of facial expressions is not helping her looks either.

Are you even listening or am taking too much of your time,I can leave you alone,I have things to do anyways,she said blankly.

Oh,Am so sorry about,Miss Moore.

Yes,I am and it's just food channel nothing over the top if that what you're expecting Mr Franklin.

Oh I see and just call me Ben.

Ben,I would like to talk about this marriage agreement you have with my family.

I know she's not the one for sublty now.Miss Moore I...

The waiter arrived with our drinks,took them long enough.They really need to improve their serving skills here.

She muttered a thank you and gulped down the water in one go while sipped my drink.

The waiter handed us the menu and waited for her to order.

I'll take your most tummy fulling meal and a glass of water please,she said without looking at the menu.

The waiter hesitated but replied with an ok ma'am.

What would you like to order sir?

Steak...the juices one you've got with a salad dressing.

Ok sir.

Miss Moore,I...

You can call me Jane,Ben.

Ok Jane,I see you probably don't know  me that well and I hardly know anything about you but I agreed to this marriage hoping before the marriage in two weeks we could get to know each other.

What?Two weeks? Finally getting a reaction from her,I guess her parents didn't tell her about that too.

Yes,two weeks.I thought you knew that already.

No,I didn't and...

The waiter came back with our food,I was starving and decided to eat but she wasn't the touching her food.

Jane,we can talk after eating.

I lost my appetite,she said before folding her arms and relaxing back into her chair.

I wonder how someone can be this guarded.She isn't even trying to pretend to like me and that a first for me.

I agreed to this marriage to please my parents cause I was tired of them nagging and complaining about my lack of home with a family.I thought I should just let them set this marriage since I can't seem to find a woman who would want me for me and not my money or family name.

I thought they will set me up with someone who would be excited about getting married to me but boy I so wasn't expecting this.

Do they even know she doesn't like me or act like she does and that's a first for me.

Damn! Everything about her is a first for me.
