Chapter 488: A Dinner Or A Trap?
Vivienne Dempsey sat at the table with the candle light flickering over her face, as she nervously smoothed down her dress. She wondered if he would come or if he would ghost her.
However, int he next moment, she scoffed inwardly. No one had ever ghosted her to this day, so of course he wasn’t going to be doing that. And he’s gladly accepted her invitation so he should be here.
As she glanced at her watch for the umpteenth time, the soft chime of the doorbell echoed through the room. Her breath caught in her throat as she watched him step into the restaurant. He really was a beautiful man. If only he had not been Sebastian Frost’s assistant, she would have asked him out for a date instead of a simpe dinner to thank him. What a waste.
She felt a surge of pleasure when she his eyes widened for a fleeting moment as they met hers. Of course he was not immune to her beauty. She’d carefully chosen this champagne colored dress. It always complemented her features well.
As he neared her table, she smiled at him, "Thank you for coming, Mr Rosette." and extended her hand for a shake.
He took her hand in his and she could almost feel the electricity running up her arms. Gosh, the man had strong hands. He quickly let go of her hand, making her feel disappointed, as he waited for her to take a seat first. " It’s my pleasure, Miss Dempsey. And I must admit, you look stunning tonight."
Vivienne smiled at the compliment,inwardly happy but outwardly modest as she shook her head," You flatter me, Mr Rosette. Call me Vivienne or Viv."
The man smiled and Vivienne almost lost her train of thought. How was he so beautiful? "Then you can call me Drake, Vivienne."
"Drake. You have a nice name. It is better than being called Rosie. How could you let that Sebastian call you by such an atrocious name?"
