Chapter 6

• THE DINNER DATE
• TESSA POINT OF VIEW
• "Tessa, you need to come with Hayden because someone from you and Hayden pass is going to be there." Joan informed making my face pale
• "Who Joan? Who?"
• "Dwayne, I heard he is going to be there and i bet he is not going to take you and Hayden engagement lightly." I scoffed sipping from the glass of wine.
• "I thought it is someone important."
• "How is Jerome?" I asked of her boyfriend and a blush crept out of her face.

• HAYDEN ANDERSON OFFICE
• HAYDEN POINT OF VIEW
• I must admit i was a little bit harsh on Tessa yesterday, i should have ignored her instead of calling her names. I tried but she was so annoying and arrogant.
• She had the guts to talk back at me and insult me. I wondered where her manners had gone?
• Or did she even have any manners at all?
• "Hey man." Gerald greeted the moment he walked into my office.
• "Hey what's up?"
• "So Hayden tell me how was dinner at the Cooper's yesterday? I bet Tessa is as gorgeous and beautiful, did you Both get along with each other?" He bombarded me with questions.
• "The dinner was annoying so was Tessa who was trying to get on my nerves."
• "Hope you didn't provoke her Hayden?"
• "The question should be hope she didn't provoke me."
• "Man the news of your upcoming wedding is all over the blogs and every news articles, all our highschool classmates who are on the group chats knows and are shocked by this huge revelation which to them is hard to believe considering you both history."
• "I don't care if they believe it or not."
• "You have to care man. What are you going to do when everyone begins to asked you how you both fell in love and got engaged and your wedding plans considering what happened between the both of you before she travelled abroad to study."
• "Yeah! You are right, but don't worry I will be able to pull it off and make it look real as if we are in love and the marriage wasn't an arranged one, but my problem is that annoying and arrogant brat Tessa, will she be able to fake it? I wonder how she will react because she is more arrogant than before."
• "Don't worry man, we all know that Tess will do anything for her reputation, she is so good at faking anything just to be good in the eyes of people."
• "I can't imagine being stuck with that arrogant daughter of Lucifer Tessa for life."
• "But you both can sign a divorce after the company is back on it's feet."
• Luca's idea was one brilliant idea that haven't crossed my mind and it was the perfect solution to getting rid of Tessa for life.
• "Dude you are a genius, I love you." I smiled
• "I know bro."
• "I can't believe that i never thought of such a brilliant idea, i can demand for a divorce when the both companies get what they want and i won't be married to her for life."
• "Wow! That is right, I hope everything works out soon, so that you both can go your seperate ways, but in case you two fall in love and decide to be together in the process, i will be happy for you and support you."
• "Never, there is no way that i will ever bring myself to ever fall in love with that brat Tessa, not in this lifetime."
• "Alright let's wait and see, love can happen when you least expected."
• "Shut up Gerald."
• "Dude anything can happen okay, i am famished let's go have lunch."
• "I can't believe you are getting married to our highschool queen who was once your best friend before becoming your enemy."
• "Shut up, Dude."
• "I heard we will be having our highschool reunion in a week time, I bet Dwayne will surely be there."
• "I hope he does come." I gritted.
• "Really do you want to see him flirting and being possessive of your wife to be."
• "I will love to see him try, i can't wait to show him that Tessa is now mine." We both laughed
• "Make sure to come with Tessa and you both should put on matching outfits to avoid suspicions."
• "Sure man, i will put my pride aside and asked her to be my date for the reunion."
• Oh and Dwayne, him and Tessa were the king and queen of our highschool, they were the most popular student in highschool. Tessa was the most beautiful and popular girl in highschool, she was the captain of cheerleaders, she was the girl who every guy in highschool wanted, her smile can make every guy grow weak.
• Dwayne was the popular basketball captain in highschool, he was the guy who every girl wanted in highschool, a smile from him makes every girl grow weak and blush but he had eyes only for one person which was his girlfriend Tessa.
• Both Tessa and Dwayne were the perfect and hottest couple in highschool, Dwayne was always all over Tessa, flirting and being possessive of her but unfortunately Tessa broke up with Dwayne on prom night after she confessed that she never had any feelings for him and she didn't see a future with him.
• Their breakup was a huge disaster because most of the boys and girls who had eyes for both Dwayne and Tessa were happy over the breakup while Dwayne on the other hand destroyed anything and fights with anybody that was in his way. Prom night was disrupted because of the breakup which our highschool classmates theme as the breakup of the century.
• Lost in my thoughts, Gerald tapped me flashing my ringing phone on my face, i collected the phone and saw that my dad was the caller.
• "Hi dad."
• "Hayden, you are having a dinner date with Tessa by six pm, i have already made a reservation at paradise restaurant."
• "I am not interested dad."
• "You have no choice dear son!." My Dad thundered.
• "I have a choice dad, i am not going."
• "Get a good bouquet of flowers for Tessa, behave and don't ruin the dinner son." My dad disengaged the call.
• Bouquet of flowers my foot. Someone like Tessa don't deserve one single piece of flower not to talk of bouquet of flowers.
• I am just going to go this dinner because it might probably create a chance for something exciting and interesting. I can't wait to put that spoilt brat in her place tonight.
• ••••
• THE DINNER DATE
• RISE RESTAURANT
• I sat in a the chair in paradise restaurant anxiously waiting for Tessa to show up, it has been thirty minutes since i arrive the restaurant and Tessa was nowhere to be seen, how can a well trained lady keep a man waiting for her in a restaurant for so long?
• If she doesn't have manners, i am going to teach her one, i wouldn't be here if i wasn't force by my annoying father to.
• "Waiter." I heard a voice called, i
• looked up and saw Tessa sitting majestically opposite me.
• Such guts! How can her just sit and call the waiter without apologizing for her lateness, i just need to put this annoying brat in her place.
• "Good day ma and sir." The waiter greeted and she nodded in response.
• "Can we have the menu?" She asked.
• "Here is the menu ma and sir, what will you like to have?" The waiter.handed the menu to the both of us
• "I will have potatoes and chicken casserole." I ordered.
• "Same with me." She smiled.
• "And get us a bottle of red wine and two glasses." She added and the waiter left after jotting down our orders
• "Why are you late?" I asked glaring at her, she ignored my question bringing out her phone from her purse and starts operating it.
• "Seriously, if not for my dad i won't be here." She scoffed.
• "Do you think that i am happy to be here? I should be in the club hanging out with my friends." She gritted out still focusing on her phone.
• The waiter served the food on the neatly designed table and left hurriedly.
• "You look hot Hay, i am so anxious to know how you transform your appearance." She teased sipping from the glass of wine.
• "You know what Tessa, let's be truthful to ourselves, this marriage can never work."
• "As if i want to be married to you." She spoke rudely.
• "You speak rudely for a woman, how can i forget you are still the spoilt mannerless brat."
• "You know what this date bloody sucks so do you Hayden Leo Anderson."
• "Yea! It sucks just like you Tessa, you are so rude and i don't think anyone can ever fall in love with you."
• "But you were so in love with this rude girl.
• "That was my biggest mistake and regrets, how did i even fall in love with you?" I questioned.
• "Blah.... Blah...... Blah........ That is your business Hayden."
• "You know what i am out of here, i can't be seen arguing with you."
• "Hold on Hayden, i am already leaving, have some manners you can't leave before me, this date sucks."
• She got up from the chair not without glaring at me before walking out.
• I watched her retreating figure in anger while balling my fists.
