Alice decided to go to nearby restaurant to have dinner
sidekick

Aric
I should approach her today right?
Aric was dying to talk to Alice for months now. He was stalking her from last 7 months
He wanted to have her so badly. According to him she was his need.
Aric entered the restaurant
Suddenly everyone's attention was on Aric. As he was man who every woman crave for. He was tall, handsome and sexy
Alice too saw him, and she was stunned after looking at him.
Alice
How could someone be this handsome?
Alice
Whatever I should concentrate on my Food
Alice was done with her food and she was on her way to pay the bill, suddenly she bumped into a waiter who was holding a tray full of food and an expensive wine.
Alice
Oh my god, I am so sorry
waiter
Mam, what should I do? It was the food of a very rich man. My manager will fire me. 😭😭
Alice
No it was my mistake. I will talk to your manager.
Alice
Yes please take me to him!
The manager was sitting with a tall handsome man .
Alice
Is he the man who ordered that food and wine?
Alice
(thinking) I am doomed
Alice
Alice went straight to that man and started apologizing.
Alice
Sir I am really sorry I accidentally bumped into this waiter and you're all food got wasted. I will pay the bill
ARIC took a glance at her from head to toe.
On the other hand Peter who was the manager and owner of that restaurant was smirking at Alice's words.
Peter
Are you sure lady ? Will you really pay the bill?
Peter
That wine costs about a million bucks, can you handle that?
Alice
Shocked* Stuttering* A...a... a million?
Peter
You want to repay the amount of all of this food? Let ARIC decide what should be done
Peter
He was the man whose food you spilled
peter was pointing his hands to ARIC.
Aric
Miss Alice you don't have to pay anything to me. My friend was just kidding with you.
Alice
(thinking) He is not only hot but also very kind
Aric
If we meet again then treat me to lunch or dinner.
ARIC got up from his chair and whispered in Alice's left ear.
Aric
Until we meet again Miss Alice
Alice
*Blushing* nodding like a fool
Alice went back to her apartment and slept like a baby.
Peter
Why did you let her go?
Aric
I am not letting her go. She will soon come to me on her own.
Peter
Confused* How the hell will it happen?
Aric
I need to gain her trust Peter.
Aric
This is a very important matter to me I don't want to spoil it by rushing it.
Peter
okay you are the boss! do whatever you want.
Aric
smirking* yeah I will
Dinner
Alice came back to the apartment and slept like a baby
Alice

Elena
At midnight, you were sleeping like a pig
Alice

Two days has passed since their encounter
Alice was busy in her job
she was busy working on the screen of her computer when suddenly a muscular voice hit her ears.
Aric
Excuse me Miss! Can you tell me where is the manager's cabin?
Aric
Alice looked upward towards the direction of the voice and was shocked to see a familiar face.
Alice
Ah... Yes Hi Mr. Aric.. Go straight and take a left , second room is the manager's cabin.
Aric
So you remember me? *smirking*
Aric

Aric went for half an hour and came straight to Alice
Alice

Aric

Time passed and Alice's work was finished. She went to the washroom ,cleaned her face,applied some lipstick eyeliner and perfume to smell good. Our girl doesn't need much to look beautiful
She came out of the office building and was shocked to see Aric waiting for her in front of her office in a black Rolls Royce
He was in a formal black suit, staring directly at Alice.
He was looking at Alice like a predator looks at his prey.
He opened the door of the car for Alice
Then He himself sat beside her and asked his driver to take them to the best restaurant in the city
Alice

Alice was lost in her own world
