Since Andrea already ate some cookies earlier while she's talking with her friends, she didn't prepare anything for lunch. Instead, she plans to go to the supermarket to buy some groceries.
Andrea opened her refrigerator and it's almost empty. Her snacks are gone.
"Of course, who might be the one that always left me high and dry. None other than Daniela Snow. Speaking of the culprit, she acted weird earlier, I wonder what happened to her?"
She closed the refrigerator and wrote what must be bought in her cellphone using the Note app. She didn't even bother to change her clothes. It still looks good anyway.
She drove off to the nearest supermarket, Lavish Happy Mart. After parking her car, she immediately went in and a cool air from the air conditioner welcomed her.
Andrea is a friend of the owner of this supermarket. Speaking of which, here she comes. Walking towards her is a lady looking like a porcelain doll, she's a big fan of Korean Dramas so she kind of acts like them. She wore a gray turtleneck and there's a printed word that Andrea can't understand since it is written in Korean. She paired it with a blue fitted denim.
With her outfit, she really looks like a doll with her waist so fine.
"Andrea, long time no see. How have you been? I missed you, babe."
Myra Lavish gave her a peck on the cheeks before giving her a hug. Andrea hugged her back.
"I've been so busy lately, I didn't have time to visit you. But don't worry, I'll invite you soon for lunch."
Myra smiled widely while looking at Andrea with her sparkling eyes.
"That settles it then! Oh and by the way, I still have some stuff to do, I'll leave you for now. Contact me whenever you want to go out."
"Yeah sure."
They both split their ways and continued their businesses.
Andrea got a shopping cart and pushed it towards the vegetable options. She's a good picker when it comes to fresh vegetables. She picked tons of vegetables. Some might say she's a vegetarian but nope! She's not, she just really likes veggies.
After picking some fresh vegetables, she pushed the cart to the meat section and did the same. She picked big amounts of raw food for she likes to cook as well.
She was done with the raw food so now she's looking for some snacks. It was needed especially when she's writing some stories.
A potato chip snack that she likes is on the top shelf so she has to tiptoe to get it. As she was about to get the snack, a hand also was about to reach out for it.
Andrea lost her balance so she closed her eyes and waited for her ass to fall. But it's been seconds and she doesn't feel like she's fallen to the floor.
She opened her eyes and found out that a man with some handsome toned muscles was holding her waist.
Oh thank God. She thought.
Andrea stood straight and arranged her slight crippled shirt. She looked up to thank the man who caught her.
"Thank yo--" she didn't continue her sentence when she realized that the man who caught her earlier is none other than the man who's behind all her lies to her friends.
"I didn't know you're here too....Darling. Fate must have its own favorite and it brought us here." he said happily like he just won a lottery.
Andrea was so shocked and she widened her eyes the moment she saw the man in front of her, still holding her hand.
Nevertheless, she finally observed the man's features. He looked smart dressed in a perfectly ironed white T-shirt and a pair of black trousers. He's wearing a hood, afraid someone might recognize him. He was tall and sturdy, giving off an aura of brilliance.
Other women might have fallen in love at first sight if they saw him. He has an exquisitely handsome face. If they haven't met in the first place, maybe she can have a crush on him.
When she looked at the hand that was holding her, she instinctively shoved it off.
Xeno took a step backward. He held his two hands in the air like he's surrendering.
"Woahh.. easy there, darling. This is not how you treat your boyfriend. You should have greet me with a kiss even if just in the cheek." he pointed his cheek.
Andrea gulped at what she's seeing , she didn't expect that the richest man in the country was here in front of her.......acting like a child.
"I didn't know that the President of Louindelle Corporation is acting like a child in front of me. You sure are hella talkative. Move away, I'm not done shopping."
Ignored, he immediately grabbed her shopping cart and pushed it for her.
"What the hell are you doing? Give it to me!"
She tried to take it back away from him but since he's a man, he didn't even move a bit while she's still pushing him away.
"Darling, let your boyfriend do this, I can only do this once in a while. After shopping, accompany me somewhere." A curl in his lips suddenly formed.
"Fine! I don't want to argue further. Since you're here, you could be helpful." A grin flashed in her face and she picked tons and tons of snacks.
She's already hiding her victorious laughter when she saw his frowning look behind her. He's having a hard time.
"Tired? You can leave it there and leave." Hearing what she said, his expression instantly changed from frowning to smiling confidently with his heads up.
"Of course not. I'm honored." he said while pushing the shopping cart. She can still see that he's having a hard time but oh well...he asked for it.
In the midst of picking some snacks, she stopped walking when she forgot something to buy.
"Wait, I forgot something, wait here. I'll be back real quick."
She ran immediately to the fruits section and she picked many apples. After picking, she runs back to where he is. She saw him browsing his phone but when he sensed that she returned, he put it back in his pocket.
"Do you really need this whole damn snack for yourself? I didn't know you're a big eater, you have a sexy figure. Although it won't bother me if you get chubby, I like it squishy." He said while grinning.
"Tsss, pervert. I didn't buy this all for myself only." She said before poking his forehead, considering their height difference, she had to tiptoe to hit him.
Xeno noticed her having difficulties in reaching his forehead so he bows a little for her.
Andrea stiffened as she didn't expect him to act like that. That simple gesture made her heart beat fast.
What's happening to me?
She poked his head...hard and she heard him hissed.
Andrea didn't mind him and continued walking. On the other hand, he immediately caught up her pace.
"Why did you say you forgot something earlier? You should have told me, I'll get it for you." She looked at him with an unbelievable look then she sighs.
"It's little Suzie's favorite fruit." After speaking, she saw him getting confused.
"Little? Do you have a daughter?"
"No."
"Shit! Are you a mistress?" Xeno covered his own mouth with his hand.
"What!? No, mistress my ass. I don't have a plan in becoming a mistress."
"Right! Your ass is too good for you to become a mistress. Although it won't bother me a bit, I'll just snatched you away from that ugly man." Said by Xeno with a cold voice.
"Pervert. Why don't you just shut your mouth for a bit? I bet you act like this with your other women right? Arghh! Rich men have plenty of ladies to choose from." she looked at him with disdain.
"Yeah you're right, rich men have plenty of ladies to choose....That's why I chose you." He winked at her.
Land. Please swallow me now. She thought as she felt a heat coming from her cheeks.
"Cute." He saw her getting red like a tomato and he chuckled.
This damned man's mouth really speaks freely.
When she was done, they immediately went to pay for the goods. Andrea saw him wear a black mask, it sure is hard to roam freely when you're a known person. Not to mention, he's the richest man in the country.
They both walked in the exit. She stopped halfway.
"You don't have to come with me. You can now go and do whatever you want." She saw him wearing a mask and holding two big plastics of goods in his both hands.
"I'll come with you. Let's use my car, I'll ask my assistant, Ryan, to pick up your car." Andrea froze at what he said.
"Ryan?"
"Yeah, he's my assistant."
"What's his surname?"
"Hmm, he's an orphan but unfortunately the family that adopted him, mistreated Ryan. Then I rescued him from that family. Since he's adopted, he's name now is Ryan Lasmond."
Lasmond? Maybe he's a different person. From the looks of him, she can tell that he's not lying.
Xeno seems like he didn't notice her expression and walked first to his own car.
She dazed for a bit and when she came back to her senses, she couldn't see him in front of her anymore.
