Chapter 11 That’s not Diana Watts
“Calm down and you can do this.” This was the word of Tihana to herself after she had just gotten off from the cab.
She looks over at the restaurant to confirm it’s the address Diana gave to her, and then she started making her way into the restaurant.
She eye searched around and find an empty seat in a quiet corner and so, she walks over and sat down dropping her bag on the table.
Tihana is wearing a black evening dress, with a jean jacket to match and a Gucci handbag. She’s dressed simple because she wanted to give this man the inspiration that she’s no rich.
She pulls out her phone from her pocket and clicked on Diana’s phone number then texted her.
“I got here.” She tells her and put the phone back inside her handbag.
Tihana looks around and her eyes landed on nothing but the seat opposite her where the man she’s waiting for is going to seat.
Furthermore, one can tell that she’s beginning to feel nervous. She looks at her watch and her date is already five minutes late.
Tihana is nervous, all she wanted is just get done with this and head back home. She hates doing this but she can’t bring herself to tell Diana a No.
About Diana saying about the fact that she wants to hire a boyfriend, Tihana don’t really get it. What’s the use to hire a boyfriend when you can find one for yourself?
Moreover, if you ain’t interesting in any relationship or stuff, you shouldn’t force yourself to get into one.
Tihana wondered, why parents are always hesitate for her children to start dating plus getting married without asking them if that’s really what they wanted.
“Miss Diana?” Tihana heard a voice behind her.
She wanted to look behind, but she stopped herself. First, she has to be rude, second , she hand to play dirty and naughty and lastly she have to display a very bad character.
So, she didn’t look back and instead, she used her hair to cover part of her face.
“Yes I am. Come on over here and seat with me.”
Aiden walks over to seat in the chair opposite her but Tihana won’t look up and Aiden didn’t like it, he’s already pissed and don’t want anymore girl to get on his nerves.
“What are you doing?” Aiden asked, and she chuckles and pull out her card, without looking up she slide it to the table for him.
“My name is Diana Watts , nice meeting you.” She says.
Aiden takes the card from the table and look at it, reading it attentively. She’s 25 years old and Mr Nolan Watt’s only daughter.
His grandfather really have high taste of the ladies he chooses. Aiden thought and then look up at this young lady.
“Am Aiden Turner.” He tells her.
Hearing this, Tihana immediately looks up at him in shock with her mouth wide open.
“Aiden Turner!!?” She screams, all eyes on her.
Glad the restaurant is a very high stranded one, so it’s more like the people that come here are also popular, otherwise people might have start rushing to Aiden to get his autograph.
“Yes. What’s the matter?” Now, Aiden is able to see her face as she was standing and looking at him with shock expression written all over her face.
“Oh my God! Please Excuse me, I’ll be back.” Tihana grab her phone from the table and immediately rush out, making her way outside the restaurant.
She starts dialing Diana’s phone number but she wasn’t picking up which frustrated her even more.
“Pick up the damn phone you bitch!” Tihana cusses as she walks around like someone loosing her senses.
Ofcourse she’s losing her sense! The man in there is her Boss and the man she already dislikes even without knowing much about him.
How is she supposed to sit down there and talk to him?
She’s just gonna start work on Monday, what face is she gonna be meeting her Boss with after this date?
Tihana somehow, was glad because he didn’t seem to recognize her as the reporter from three weeks ago.
Tihana tries to calm herself down because Diana isn’t picking and she have to go back in there.
There’s no way she’s just gonna go in, take her bag and leave, that will even be more disrespectful.
Minutes later and Tihana is back , sitting on her chair and smiling at Aiden like nothing had just happened.
“Are you okay?.” Aiden asks her and all she could do is just nod.
She seems to have suddenly lost her tongue and all she wanted to do, is end the date and fast as she can.
She’s beginning to feel uncomfortable about this and not sure how much longer she can continue sitting here.
Same time, whatever dirty act it is she’s gonna pull up, she has to stop it.
Because why would she?! What if after pulling playing a dirty game with him and they both meet at his company?
She can’t lose her job. So she needed to keep it.
“Am fine… So, you’re Auden Turner? You look much older than I thought.” She laughs nervously trying to keep it up that they haven’t meet each other before.
“What do you mean older? As far as I know, I’m just 32” Aiden tells her, feeling offended.
“Well, still you’re old. Am hungry, won’t you order for something?” She immediately covers up that she just mock him.
Aiden is already pissed and had a lot to say to her because he hates when he’s called old. Moreover, no lady have ever tell him he’s old, it have only his grandfather.
He pushes himself back and wave at the waiter who approached him and handed them a menu.
“You can pick whatever you want.” Aiden say to her, But Tihana isn’t hearing that.
Everything in this menu ranges from $550. 95 to $1200.
“Why is everything so expensive?” She mutters out without knowing.
The waiter chuckles and Aiden just looks away in embarrassment.
“I’ll just have water.” She concluded and made to close the menu but stops.
“Bottled water is $150! What the fuck, is this some kind of joke?” She yells, again making all eyes on her.
Aiden looks at her, She’s Diana Watts and came from a rich family , why will she be worried about the little prices of this? Aiden asks himself.
“Of all the places , why did you chose here?” She turns to Aiden and ask but Aiden didn’t reply her and instead he looks at the waiter.
“Get her the bottled water she want.” Aiden says and the waiter bows and collect the menu from them before he walks away.
Now, it’s two of them again and Tihana isn’t yet over the fact the things here are expensive. That $150 for just a bottle of water can buy her lot of meat!.
And then, Tihana remembers why she’s here and who she’s replacing. She immediately covers her face in embarrassment.
Aiden just chuckles.
“I’m so sorry about that, forgive my manner. Guess I was taken aback.” She tells him.
“Shall we proceed to the reason of this date? I’m sure your father told you what you needed to know about the date?”
“My father? I…”
Again Tihana! You’re replacing Diana. Her inner spirit yells to her. Yes, that’s right. She’s already letting her mind take over her that she’s gradually forgetting she’s here as Diana Watts.
“Uhm… No, he didn’t.” She replies and Aiden nods.
He dropped a file on the table and Tihana looks at him before picking it up.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“What is this?.”
“What you needed to know.”
The waitress is back with the water which he drops in front of her and handed Aiden the wine he ordered for.
“Thank you.” Aiden tells him as he open the wine and pour it into his glass then take a sip.
Tihana nervously opens the file and the first thing her eyes landed on was “Contract Marriage with A Baby.”
She looks up sharply at Aiden, but he wasn’t paying attention to her. His eyes were on his phone so Tihana had to look back at the paper.
He wants her to get married to him under a contract of one year and she’s to make a baby for him!
Who makes such ridiculous offer?” She mutters herself.
And then her eyes landed on the payments.
“Full support to Party B’s Family by Party A. Total payment of $5 million shall be paid into Party B’s account and another $10 million upon the one year is over and the condition of Party A is met.”
“If Party B ever wants to terminate the contract upon after signing, she had to pay for the lose, approximately *3 what Party A is supposed to pay.”
“No feelings is attached. Party B on no account, shall fall in love with Party A. All she has to do is make the baby and leave once after the year is over and she’s settled.”
Tihana drop the file on the table and look at Aiden, then she laughs.
“Are you being serious right now!? You want me… To get married to you?!”
Aiden now looks up at her and stare at her with keen interest.
“Didn’t you know this before showing up? I just need you to sign the contract and our marriage will be up next.”
“You’re crazy.” Tihana tells him without mimicking a word.
“How can you approach a lady and give her such ridiculous offer, what? Is it because you’re rich..!?”
“Is the money two little? I can add you if it’s too small for you. I understand you ladies love money so much, so don’t worry. That won’t be a problem.”
Now, Tihana is completely pissed. How dare him look down on her like that!?
The money involved can go a really love way for her and she will be her own boss once that money hit her account. But that doesn’t mean she should sell herself and her pride out because of money.
And, was he even in his right senses when he attached that making a baby?! If he wants a baby so desperately he can just go on and adopt one.
Or he can get himself a real wife and not just a contracted wife!
“I fucking hate him” Tihana tells herself.
“So you think, money is the actual problem here?” She questioned him, and what made her even more angry is the fact that Aiden is looking so calm like he said nothing wrong.
Now, she had even forgotten the fact that he man opposite her is her new boss!
“What else could get the issue?”
“You! You are the issue. How can you look down on ladies like that? So you think once you write that money down there, I’m going to jump to your offer?”
“Exactly!” Aiden tells her, enjoying the look on her face.
Tihana scuff and stare at him disgustingly.
“Well, sorry to busy your Ego but I’m saying no to this offer, and I hope you don’t even contact me again. This date is over.” Grabbing her bag, She stood up and walk away.
Aiden touches his lips and smirk, then he takes his phone from the table and walks after her.
Once outside, Aiden watches her try to get a cab and just then Wayne approaches him.
“Who is she?” He asks and Aiden looks over at him and start walking to the car.
“Diana Watts. Didn’t you look up for her picture before the date too?”
Wayne stops walking and turn to look at the direction of Tihana who had just gotten into the cab, their eyes meet and Wayne didn’t break the eye contact until the cab drives off.
“What are you doing;? Are you gonna drive me or you’re gonna stand there and stare at nothing?”
“I’m sorry.” He tells him and open the door for him, then he shuts it and walk over to the driver side and got in shutting the door too.
Then turning to Aiden, he tells him…
“That is not Diana Watts.”
