Chapter 226: I aggressively want her
Primo kept his eyes on the entrance, even after Heaven crossed the threshold. His eyelids drooped, leaning back comfortably.
"Heaven Liu." The corner of his mouth curled up into a smirk, licking his upper lips. "How did she know we lived in the same building?"
"Hey, I’m sorry that took a while." Paula returned with an apologetic expression, sitting back in her place. "Heaven left?"
Paula raised her brows as she set her eyes back to Primo, only to see him staring at the entrance. "Primo? Primo?"
"I’m sorry, Miss Shen." Primo snapped his eyes ever so tenderly, making his chair slide back as he stood up. "I forgot I have an important appointment tonight. I’ll tell my men to pick you up and drop you off at your place."
Primo picked up the napkin Heaven used and placed it on the plate before pouring the wine on the same plate. When he carried the plate full of nothing but poison, he faced Paula squarely.
"Have a good night, Miss Shen." He tipped his head down slightly. "I’ll keep in touch."
"Primo, what are you? You’re leaving me here?" Paula also stood up, disappointed.
"I’m afraid I have to." Primo sighed. "Please understand. I am a businessman and things like this happened."
Her frown deepened, gazing down at the plate in his hand. However, Paula didn’t wonder why he poured the wine in it and the napkin. She didn’t even wonder why there was a flower on top of his food. All Paula could think about was her disappointment.
"Please, Miss Shen. It breaks my heart if you frown like that." Primo walked toward her, tilting his head while pinching her chin to raise her head. "If it wasn’t important, I wouldn’t leave you here."
"But..."
"I will go to you right away, even if I am out of the country." Primo blinked, sporting a reluctant expression. "This is just really important."
Paula bit her inner bottom lip. "You’re not leaving because of her, hmm?"
"Hmm?"
"Heaven." Paula huffed deeply. "You approached me because of Heaven. So, you’re not leaving just to follow her, right?"
"Haha!" Primo chuckled, placing down the plate. He then planted his hands on her shoulders, turning her body so she was facing him. "Miss Shen, I was a fan of Heaven Liu until I met you. Meeting her tonight was a surprise, but you are right."
Primo bent over to look at her at eye level. "Heaven Liu... she’s quite a disappointment. You are still better than hers — much prettier and more mature."
"Really?" her brows rose slightly as her eyes sparkled with anticipation.
"Hundred percent." Primo nodded reassuringly. "This is not about her — I don’t care about Heaven Liu. If only I can, I will stay with you longer. Actually, I wish the night will not end whenever I’m with you. However, you deserve the world. That is why I am more motivated to work, so I can show you how vast this world was."
Paula pressed her lips into a thin line, moved by his words. Looking at him up close and seeing the sincerity on his dashing face made her heart flutter. Primo might not be as wealthy as Dominic Zhu, but he could afford things Paula couldn’t. If Primo worked even harder, he might become even better than Dominic Zhu.
Who knows?
"Fine," she sighed, softening to his persuasion. "I have to meet my manager, anyway. I’ll just tell her to pick me up here."
"Are you sure, darling?" Primo furrowed his brows while she nodded. "Very well. If that is what you want, then alright. Just let me know if your manager can’t pick you up, so I can tell my assistant to drop you off."
"Okay." Paula sported a short smile.
Primo also smiled back, squeezing her shoulders slightly before retrieving his hand. He picked up the plate and with that, he walked past Paula. His smile instantly disappeared the moment he walked past her, sneering at the dumb girl behind him.
’She was fun at first,’ he thought as he exited the establishment. ’But after meeting Heaven Liu... she became so dull it makes me want to puke. No wonder she’s struggling in garnering support. She’s so fucking dull.’
Primo threw the plate outside, breaking it and letting the contents spill. He shoved his other hand in his pocket, taking out a handkerchief while waiting for his ride. Not long after, a red sedan pulled up right in front of him and a man came out from the front passenger seat.
The man opened the backseat door, glancing at the broken plate not far from their vantage point. "Boss, are you wasting food now as well?"
"Lick it if you feel it’s a waste," said Primo indifferently, trudging toward the back seat. "It’s poisoned. Did Heaven Liu leave?"
"Huh?" the other man glanced at Primo and shrugged. He slowly went into the front passenger seat and answered, "Yes, I’ve seen her leave. But it seemed she was with a different bodyguard."
"Follow her."
"Huh?" the man in the front passenger seat looked back. "You want to follow her?"
"We live in the same place, anyway."
"Well, make sense." The man shrugged as he glanced at the driver. But just before he could give the order, Primo spoke again.
"Make sure she knows we’re following her."
"What?" the man and the driver looked back at him with a dismal countenance. "Boss, why do you sound so aggressive?"
"Because I aggressively want her."
"What?" the man looked at Primo with wide eyes. "Boss, did you hit your head or something?"
Primo narrowed his eyes and smirked. He didn’t say anything, making his men furrow their brows in confusion. However, these men knew Primo very well. They knew that look on their boss’s face. Even so, the man in the passenger seat looked worried.
"She’s Dominic Zhu’s wife, Boss."
"Which makes me want her more." Primo leaned back comfortably, propping his elbow against the window while his jaw rested against his knuckles. "Everything that Dominic Zhu has... I want all of them. He can take the kid, though — I don’t need it."
"Goodness," the man murmured.
Primo ignored his men as he narrowed his eyes, recalling his brief interaction with Heaven. The more he thought about her, the more his smirk stretched.
’Heaven Liu... ah... she’s quite feisty. I like it.’
