Chapter 107 - Chapter 106

((( CLAIRE )))

He forked the fat seafood and ate it without complaints. Whatever it tasted like, his face didn't show. I was left clueless and sat there blushing at every chew he took.

"Zhio…Why did you take me here?"

"To eat this thing that you made in front of you."

"I mean…Where is this plane heading?"

"Abroad. Then back to the country. Wherever I wished," he said as a matter-of-factly.

"We're just wandering around. I wanted to eat in the sky…"

My jaw dropped.

This spoiled man was abusing his riches. If he just wanted to eat, he doesn't have to waste that much fuel. He wasn't even concerned with Mother Earth!

"I thought you're taking me somewhere," I sighed in relief.

"I could if I wanted to. Don't give me ideas Claire."

How arrogant.

"How did it taste?" I steered the topic.

"Just as simple as you are."

I blushed.

They said if a man called you simple, it meant two things. First, you being natural was a good thing. Or second, you're just plain boring.

"It didn't sound bad but not good either," I pouted.

"But thanks for liking it, Zhion."

"Zhio," he corrected.

"Zhion is better. I feel more comfortable around him," I smiled.

He just stared with hidden enthusiasm.

"As if nothing bad would happen to you when you're around him."

"Derick…"

It was my turn to stare at him.

"You're wedding him in a month," he continued.

"It was just an act. I had to play along with his foolishness," I smiled.

"And I'm sorry if I ignored you throughout the party. I just didn't know how to face you, the billionaire, after all the bad things I've done."

He smiled back, "Do you really feel anything for him?"

I hated that question. I hated to talk about Derick.  

I might not be able to lie if I answer that.

"Why did you ask?"  

"He's the Vice President of my company. I don't want any controversies going around about Cryzastic," he leaned against his seat.

"Why would there be controversies?"

"For all I know, you could only be using him for money."

No…

My face flushed as his words slapped me from cheek to cheek repeatedly.  

Do I look like a gold digger?
