M.I.N.E novel Chapter 5

Ivory Evans

I looked at Leon's restaurant before I walked in. I closed my car door and my chauffer drove away. I walked inside and was greeted by the waitress.

"Good evening, any reservation?" She asked and I saw his restaurant filled with people.

"I want to see Leon." I said and she looked confuse.

"Have you make an appointment?" She asked.

"I'm his fiancee." I said annoyed and she looked confuse. I entered the restaurant and she tried to stop me with 2 bodyguards standing in front of me.

"She's with me." I turned to see Leon standing behind the bodyguards. He gestured to them to go and I looked at them annoyed.

"What brings you here?" Leon asked as he gestured to me to follow him.

"I bring you this." I said as I raised the paper bag on my hand. He turned to me and raised his eyebrows.

"What is that?"

"A present for you." I smiled and put the paper bag in front of him. He took it and gestured to me to follow him inside. He opened the door to his office for me.

"How are you?" He asked as he sat down.

"Good. How about you?"

"A little busy." He said as he pointed outside.

"Did I interrupt you?" I asked and his expression said it all.

"I better go." I said but he stopped me. He opened the paper bag and took it out.

"A belt?" He asked as he showed me the belt.

"Yours already old." Last week, I noticed it and decided to buy him a new one.

"Thanks." He said without any happy expression. I'm guessing he doesn't like it but I didn't want to say anything.

"I better get going.." I said.

"Pull down your dress a little, I saw a few people checking you out." He said when I was going to open the door. I scoffed and rolled my eyes. I walked out from his office and walked towards the door when someone grabbed my arm stopping me.

"Wait here.." He said and he walked away towards the kitchen. I took out my phone calling my chauffeur and decided to walk out instead of waiting for him.

"You really have a habit of walking away when I asked you to stay huh?" I turned to see Leon walking out from the restaurant.

"You're busy, just go back in there. I have somewhere to be."

"Where is that?" He asked as he walked closer to me.

"I'm going to-" He wrapped my waist with a black sweater and I looked at him disbelief.

"You'll catch a cold, Ivy. Winter is coming.." I was speechless.

"I'll go inside again." He said as he walked backwards.

"I'm going to the club." I stated and he chuckled.

"Have fun.. don't get too drunk." He said and then he walked in. I looked at him in disbelief completely hating his answer. I took off his black sweater and got into the car.

"Where to, Ms. Evans?"

"Home!" I hissed coldly.

Leon Keith

"Why are you laughing about?" Jack asked.

"Nothing."
