Day Twenty Five...
~~*****~~
'What the hell is he doing here?' Cherry was looking at Aiden with disbelief. She had the urge to hit this guy who suddenly appeared from out of nowhere.
Meanwhile, Spade darted his gaze back and forth between Black Rose and Black Knight or rather Cherry and Aiden. When he met Aiden's gaze, Aiden shot Spade a cold sharp glare.
Spade just blinked his eyes while looking at Aiden. He didn't know why this strange guy was giving him a deathly glare. He didn't even know him. And how dare he interrupt Black Rose's introduction? He was supposed to hold her hand but Aiden took it away from him.
"Engr. Wu, what are you doing here?" Cherry asked him, tightening her grip on his hand. She was giving him a warning look.
"Aww! Aww!" Aiden winced because of Cherry's tight hold.
Spade laughed inwardly seeing how pissed Cherry was because of this strange guy. But he could tell that the two were acquainted with each other.
It did not take long before Cherry let go of his hand. Aiden could only endure the pain while rubbing his hand. He had to look strong in front of this guy. He sensed that the guy in front of him might become his rival.
"I just passed by and I saw you. I came here to greet you. How about you? What are you doing here? Abigail is looking for you." Aiden lied.
Cherry was taken aback at the mention of Abigail. She was still feeling guilty for leaving without saying goodbye in person. She just left her a letter. She was too embarrassed to face her. She refused Abigail's offer as she chose the Red Dragon Mafia.
She just didn't want Abigail to get involved with her problems. She wanted to fix them alone. She didn't want to be a burden to her.
Spade glanced at Cherry meaningfully. He wanted to talk to her alone but a third wheel suddenly showed up. Their flight would be at Two o'clock.
"Engr. Wu, you should go. You shouldn't be here," Cherry said in her cold voice. She and Spade had to talk about something and they would have to check in after half an hour. Spade asked her to meet there for a few briefings.
But Aiden didn't plan to leave her with that pretty boy. Besides, Abigail already gave him the order not to let Cherry leave the city. She said that it was for Cherry's sake.
Without asking their permission, Aiden sat next to Spade. He even wrapped his arm around his shoulder.
"Hello, Bro. What's your name?" Aiden avoided looking at Cherry. She was glaring at him because Aiden ignored her words.
Aiden sent Abigail an urgent message. Spade and Cherry exchanged glances with one another. Cherry immediately grabbed Spade's hand. She was thinking of dragging him as fast as she could to escape from Aiden. She didn't want to be bothered by this rich and playful bachelor.
[ Aiden: Miss Abi, where are you now? ]
[ Abigail: I'm near the airport. Please buy me more time. If you let her leave, you will be dead meat to me! ]
With no choice left, Aiden swiftly moved, grabbing Cherry's elbow tightly thus stopping her both. Cherry and Spade turned in his direction, giving him a questioning look.
"What are you doing, Engr. Wu. Let go of my hand." Cherry sounded mad already. She didn't have time for his childishness.
Spade was about to remove Aiden's hand that was holding Cherry when suddenly Aiden let go of her elbow but he stepped forward, blocking their way.
The next thing he did surprised Cherry and Spade, including everyone who was inside the Cafe.
Aiden kneeled in front of Cherry, grabbing her two hands. Without breaking their eye contact, Aiden said, "Cherry, please don't leave me. Don't come with him. Please choose me."
Cherry: "..."
Spade: "..."
Aiden didn't stop talking. He even spoke loudly so that everyone inside could hear his next words.
"Cherry! I LIKE YOU! PLEASE BE MY GIRLFRIEND!"
Everyone cheered when they heard that sudden confession from this gorgeous guy kneeling in front of a pretty lady. The three of them became the center of attention inside the Cafe. They were intrigued by how Cherry would respond to his confession.
"Oh my! This is a love triangle!"
"Oh, the woman is so lucky. Two handsome boys are fighting over her!"
"Take pictures..."
