Chapter 20 As I was talking with my dad outside Marcus came out . ] " I'll pick you up " He said as he walked passed me. ] I blinked deliberately still not believing what I heard . He said yes to dinner and now is coming to pick me up ? Blood was racing through my body trying to pump out because of all the shock I was going through . ] ] Someone snapped their fingers before my eyes bringing me back on to reality . " Ooh what was that? " My dad wiggled his eyebrows playfully . " Oh c'mon dad " I rolled my eyes and walked away before he could come up with some joke . ] I went back to my company and worked till late evening . Today everyone had to work till it was late because of the new stores we were planning to build in the new island . Suddenly I heard a loud shriek from my employees . I quickly ran out of my room and saw some of the female staff looking at something through the window . They were squealing and clapping their hands in excitement . ] " Omg he's so cute " One shrieked in high pitch " Those green eyes " They screamed and jumped up and down like mad girls . ] I looked at Chloe who was standing beside me with a confused expression . I walked towards the window and stood behind the employees . " What's happening ? " They all turned to me and looked at me in horror as if they just saw a ghost . I looked at them questioningly and they soon apologized and went back to the seats like nothing happened . ] I glanced down from the window and saw Marcus's car parked in front of my building . He was leaning on his car with his hands in his pockets . His sleeves were rolled up , giving me a good sight of his veins . He had taken off his coat so he looked mouth watering with his white dress shirt and black tie . ] ] " Mm- people I think we should all head back home " I cleared my throat . I saw my staff giggling and I narrowed my eyes at them . They suddenly stopped and turned away , pretending not to see me . I took my hand bag and walked downstairs to the entrance . Marcus saw me and opened the car door for me . My lips twitched up to a smile enjoying these simple gestures of kindness which I didn't know he had . " How long have you been waiting ? " ] " For several minutes " || " Why didn't you call me ? " I raised my eyebrows in confusion . " I don't have your number " he simply stated . [ ] " Oh " I just realized that even though we were married for an entire week we didn't have each other's numbers . " Here , give me your phone " Lextended my arm . He gave me his phone and I typed my number and called myself . I saved my number in his phone and his in mine . ] " So where are we going ? " I asked him . ] " There's a quiet restaurant that I prefer I nodded my head and quickly texted one of our company drivers to take my car back to our house . Marcus was silent so I looked out the window , gazing at the already reddened sky . ] We came to a halt and Marcus parked his car in front of a small but elegant restaurant . ] ] We both walked inside and the manager calne running , greeting us . He talked with Marcus in a friendly m known each other for a very long time . ] manner as if they had We were given tables in a quiet place by the window . This was my second dinner with him . The last one was pretty awkward and I didn't want to be in the same situation again . [ ] We sat down and the waiter gave us the menu . After the food came I started digging in like a hungry lion . I looked at Marcus and my gaze fell at his plate . " What are you doing ? " I asked in surprise . ] " What ? " He looked around him to see if there was anything wrong " You only have vegetables on your plate . No meat . Why ? " " I'm vegetarian ? " He asked giving me a duh look . A loud gasp escaped my lips . " Really ? You vegetarian ? " I pointed my finger at him . ] He nodded his head in confusion and looked at me as if I grew two heads . [ ] " So you've never had meat before ? " ] " I have . I stopped when I was 10 ' " Why ? " " I don't know , just feel like it's better " I can't imagine myself being vegetarian and whenever I meet someone vegetarian I have the urge to make them eat meat . But I decided to ignore my weird urges and went back to eating . " So I heard that you are opening few hotels in Germany and Switzerland " I didn't expect him to reply considering he ignored . me the last time I tried to make conversation " Yes I am , you will be going to Germany soon right ? " He asked me and I was dumbfounded . He heard me ? " You heard me ? " " Of course I heard you . I'm not dear " Oh " I didn't know what to say . ] " So when ? " " I will probably be going at the end of next week " He nodded and quickly the conversation died down as we both started digging into our food , devouring it in peace . [ ] ' T'll probably be traveling to Germany to check on my new hotel the week after next week " ]
