My Sweet Seduction novel Chapter 14

“HERE’S YOUR COFFEE!” I put the coffee in front of him and then decided to sit down.

“Thanks.” He met my gaze, so I slowly bowed to the food.

I swallowed a few times before speaking again.

“Any plans for today?” he asked as he sipped a coffee.

“Hmm, I don’t have any plans today.”

“May I ask you out on a date?” he instantly said while looking directly at me.

I pursed my lips. I did not immediately respond to his offer.

“How about shopping? Or movies?” he suggested and laid his back against the chair.

Maybe I’ll do the baking of the cake later.

“I’m not busy, so let’s go,” I agree.

After we ate, we went to the mall. He left me for a while to buy a ticket while I bought popcorn and drinks.

From here, I can see how some women look at him. I have to admit that he’s attractive and definitely a head-turner. I can’t help but wonder if the women’s necks were not clenched as they look at him.

He came back with a ticket. Then he snatched the large popcorn and drinks from my hands, and we walked into the cinema.

I’m still not comfortable with him, especially now that I’m just sitting next to him. I almost smell his good perfume, and the heat that comes from him made me uncomfortable.

I couldn’t help but glance at him.

I was startled when he suddenly turned to me. “What is it?” he barely whispers to me.

I couldn’t respond since the redness on my cheeks appeared to be becoming worse. Thankfully, the darkness was dispersed around me.

“Do you agree?” he asked again without distracting the viewer.

I sighed quickly at his question. Until now, I still can’t answer his offer to me since last night.

I closed my eyes to go back to what happened last night.

“Rence?!” It was obvious in the woman’s voice that she knew Lawrence.

“Elliesse.” There is a frown in Lawrence’s throat when he speaks.

“I’m sorry, daughter. I didn’t tell you right away that Lawrence is here,” the old man apologetically said to her.

“It’s okay, Dad.” She gently embraced her dad.

I could feel the tightness of Lawrence’s grip on my hand as Elliesse turned her gaze at us.

“Ah. This is Margaux, my girlfriend,” Lawrence introduced me.

I quickly look at Lawrence with an astonished face.

“What are you doing?” I whispered very softly.

“Hi! What’s your name again?” she asked me with a wide smile before offering her hand for a handshake.

“Margaux, Margaux Collins,” I said and gave her a handshake.

“Nice to meet you, Margaux. I’m Elliesse Del’fierro, Rence’s ex-girlfriend,” she introduces without hesitation.

I glanced at Lawrence, who was now pale.

After his meeting with old Del’fierro, Lawrence and I immediately left the building.

“Wait, Margaux.” He stopped my arm.

I violently turned to him. “Why did you do that?!”

“I don’t have a choice. I have to do that,” he said in a low voice.

I was silent for a moment. Up to this moment, I still do not understand why he did that.

“And I want you to do me a favor,” he said in a serious tone. He stared into his eyes confidently.

My heart almost stopped as I watch how his jaw hardened and his eyes were so dark.

“Can you pretend to be my girlfriend?” he asked in a soft voice.
