"By the way, who are with you right now, William?" he asked.
"Oh, there's me, handsome William, Lexx, Dave, Eurry, Alec, and Zander. Come on here, pal. We haven't bond for weeks now. We miss you."
"Eww, you're disgusting. You're like a girl whining for her lost toy," Xeno replied.
He heared them laugh and tease William. He laughs with them as well.
"That's all, Xeno boy. I'm gonna beat these guys up. Make sure to invite 'em ladies ey." After that William turned off the call.
Xeno just shrugged his shoulders and parked his car in the parking lot of his company. He gets out and toss his car keys to the guard.
He straighten his posture and wears his 'CEO aura' as he walked in.
I'll call Andrea later about the invitation.
.....
Andrea didn't feel like writing another episode of her story. Her head still hurts so she decided to go to Lucille's Cafe to breathe some fresh air.
Beverly Cafe is located near a beach which is also owned by the Beverly family. They all go there when they want to unwind.
She didn't bother to dress up that much and slowly walked towards her car and drove off.
It was just about 10 minutes to get there. She entered the grand Cafe, it might be called Cafe but the place is freaking huge. It can be called a restaurant if there were just cuisines they make but there's none. Just a bakery to the side, mini library, set of tables for customers to sit with their coffee.
When she looked inside, there are other business meetings. Man and woman on their sit with their laptops on.
Andrea walked towards the counter to order her favorite coffee and then she choose a spot where she can see the beach nearly.
"Well, well, well. Look who's here. You had a great night last night, babe. So proud of yah", Lucille appears out of nowhere holding a tray with Andrea's cup of coffee in it and a slice of cake.
"I didn't order a cake. But thanks", she placed her order in the table. And didn't even laid a glance to Lucille.
"So you're not going to spill it huh," Lucille set aside the tray and sits in front of her.
"There's nothing to spill cuz nothing happened," she took a sip to her coffee and ate a small portion of cake.
"Ha! Nothing? Don't be ridiculous, babe. You just won't share it. I won't force you though. You had a good time, that's fine with me," Lucille with her ladylike laugh.
"I remember it all and when I woke up, I still have my clothes on. Nothing happened. Nothing to tell. And why don't you stop staring at me like that. My head still hurts so leave me alone for a while."
"Haha, well whatever you say", Lucille help up her both hands up, surrendering.
After that they chatted about how drunk Daniela is that night, although not just her but all of them. Lucille and Jenevic are the ones who drove the other girls home.
"It was hilarious. Haha. And you know what, Kendys said she's flirting with someone named Devlin. You should have seen her face, she looked like she's inlove."
Both ladies chatted a little more when a guy entered the Cafe and looked for Lucille.
Lucille called the guy to come to their table.
"There you are Lucille, you haven't been answering my messages since yesterday. I have something to tell you. Quick!" he was about to grab Lucille's hand when she slapped it.
"William, don't be rude. We're not even in a relationship duh! We just met last day too," Lucille said.
Andrea was confused on what is happening between these two people in front of her. She just simply sips her coffee and eats her cake.
"William is the son of my dad's business partner, babe," Lucille said to Andrea and she nooded.
"By the way, William this is--," Lucille didn't have the chance to introduce him to Andrea when suddenly he grabbed Lucille's hand and starts to walk out. Hurriedly.
"It was nice meeting you, Miss. I still have something important to say to this lady so till we meet again!", William said as they both exited.
Other people stares at Andrea like she's the one who caused the ruckus. She just said sorry and continued what she's doing.
Who might that be. Is he Lucille's boyfriend? But she said he's just a business partner of her dad. Hmm.. Oh well. Who cares? Andrea thought.
It was almost sunset when Andrea decided to go home. She's feeling better now.
When she got home, she opened her phone and found out that there are 10 missed calls from someone named 'Darling♡'.
"What the fuck?!", she was about to change the name when her phone rings, it's him.
"Why the fuck did you go through my phone? Didn't you know the meaning of privacy? Huh! You asshole!", she exploded with anger.
"Haha, relax darling. I didn't go through anything except for your contacts. I just renamed myself in it. You didn't mention that I can't change my name on your phone. Hehe," Xeno said with a teasing tone.
"I swear I'm gonna kill you someday," she just said that out of nowhere.
"Woah, easy there. If you're gonna kill me with love, I'm on for that," he laughs once again.
"You really have a thick face, have you?", she massaged her forehead because of stress.
"By the way, where have you been? You couldn't answer my calls?."
"I put my phone in a silent mode and went to my friend's. Why do I have to tell you that?"
"Oh nothing. Just checking in and see how you're doing. You don't have a headache anymore, do you."
"It came back when you called. Good job." She lays on her bed while holding her phone.
"Why did you call me?," she asked.
"You know, I was wondering. My friend is having a birthday party next week and I just want to tell you that I want you there with me. Like you know, a date."
"A birthday party? Why do I have to go there? I'm not his friend. It's not necessary for me to go there."
"It is for me. Please, darling. Pretty please," she couldn't believe that the richest man in this country accidentally becomes her boyfriend and now he's pleading like a child.
"Even if I say no, you still won't stop. I don't have a choice," she sighs.
"Thank you, Darling. You're the best," at that moment, she felt that slight happiness that brings a smile to her face.
"Oh! And also, my friend asked if....Ahmm..," Xeno hesitated to say it.
"What? Spill it."
"My friend said that your friends are also invited to come over. Maybe you can tell this to them?," Andrea can sense his hesitation on his tone.
You're just forced too huh. She laughs to him.
"Haha sure I'll tell them but don't expect that they will agree too."
"That's fine with me. I still have something to take care off. That's all I want to say. Thank you once again for accepting my invitation, darling. You made my day."
"Tss, whatever. Bye."
"Bye, Take care."
She ended the call first and put her phone on the table beside her bed. She buried her face on her pillows.
Andrea was about to sleep when she remembered that she still needs to tell her friends about the invitation.
She took her phone and called her friends in their group chat.
They all answered and that's what she's thankful off.
"Xeno invited me for his friend's birthday party next week. He also said that you ladies are invited as well since you are my friends."
"Hmm, you know who's birthday that is?" -Angel.
"No, he didn't say a name. I couldn't decline his invitation. He will just pissed me off to get my approval. No choice", Andrea sighed.
"Oh! I think I know who's having a birthday party. Devlin told me he's a friend of Xeno and the one who's having a party is Lexx Montgomery. You know, the one who owns the bunch of airports around the world?"- Kendys.
"Ohhh! That Lexx, he's a hot pilot too."- Ladyheart.
"Geez. That jerk is having a birthday party? Childish."- Daniela.
"Oopps! Looks like someone is bitter to men now."- Jenevic.
"Oh come on! I met him once and he's a total jerk. I'm not going."- Daniela.
"Don't say that, babe. We're all going. Maybe you'll find a another man there, you know business people sticks with business people. You can find a hotty there you know."- Lucille.
"Please, Daniela. I want all of us to go. Accompany me too, I don't want to stick with Xeno all the time," Andrea said.
"Fine! Whatever you want."- Daniela.
"That settles it then. Andrea, tell Xeno, we're in."-Angel.
"Yeah sure. Thanks ladies. Have a good night," she ended the call and texted Xeno that they all agreed.
"Hey. They all agreed to go." That's what she says to the text.
She didn't bother to wait for his reply and walked to her bathroom to take a bath before preparing for dinner.
