Chapter 360: Better Late Than Never
At Chen’s Mansion
Liz had been inside her walk-in closet for almost an hour now, trying to decide what to wear for her date with James. She looked at the clock and panicked because there were only thirty minutes left for her to get ready and she still had to apply her make-up.
She quickly moved and finally picked one of her designer dresses that she liked a lot. The dark maroon low cut dress was an elegant combination of fashion and style. She then applied a very light make-up before going down in a rush because she did not want James to wait for too long.
She saw James was already waiting for her in the living room and was dressed in one of his casual outfits. He was talking to her father about his chain of hospitals and Xander.
Liz gasped as her love struck heart raced when she saw the handsome figure sitting there, her cheeks flushed and she thought, ’Geez...’ She was scolding herself for holding on her breath like a teenager who saw her crush at the campus.
James was in his fifty eight years and yet he looked dashing and young at his age. His slim but well sculpted figure showed how much he took care of himself with regular exercises to keep him fit and lean. Liz’s face reddened as she gently patted her cheeks to control her blushing.
Jame’s gaze went to hers and their eyes met. ’Oh God!’ another gasp escaped from Liz when James gave her an ear to ear smile and stood up from his chair.
She timidly walked towards him and she heard him whisper, "You look so gorgeous."
Old Master Chen shook his head with a broad smile on his lips. He was pleased to see his only daughter in bloom, though it was a bit delayed in her life yet... he was happy that things happened, better late than never.
"You two enjoy and have a great day. Don’t worry about me I will sleep early tonight and won’t even wait for you to come home," Old Master Chen teased with a grin.
"Dad!" Liz’s wide eyes scolded but her playful father only answered her with a shrug and even signaled her and James to leave already.
