Chapter 221: A date at the cinema
Gerardo finally decided to give in.
Of course, even when he gave in, he did so with the condescension of a charity. It is as if he yielded because Orlando asked him to, and that by yielding himself Orlando should come back and be enslaved by him again.
-Heh, is Gerardo’s condescending tone of voice a concession?
Orlando listened to Juan’s words with a mocking curl on his lips.
Gerardo’s way of giving in was to send a project for the DS Group, a small project for which the Moya Group was largely responsible. However, in Gerardo’s opinion, it was sincere enough.
After all, the Moya Group is a century-old company, and this project is enough to take on the last small DS Group.
-Sir, what do you think I should do?
-For a case worth hundreds of millions of euros, does Gerardo think this is a way of sending them to lunch? -Orlando snorted disdainfully, “Send the project back, just say it’s not up to scratch and we don’t want it in the DS Group.
Not only was he going to give it back, but he was going to punch Grupo Moya in the face.
Now he was not someone Gerard could hold back when he wanted to, and he certainly did not need to hold back when he was unhappy.
In the Moya Group.
After hearing his secretary’s report, Gerardo became so angry that he broke everything in his hand.
Don’t you know that the sky is the limit! Do you think that because you have Director Lacasa as your back-up you can be arrogant and not look at me?
-I’m glad that bastard hasn’t taken over the Moya Group, otherwise I wouldn’t know how he’s going to look in front of me. Well, in that case, I don’t need to be polite.
Gerard sneered, his eyes full of cold hostility.
He didn’t really want to deal with his grandson, but apparently Orlando didn’t feel the same way.
At least he is an old man who has been in the business for decades and still has a secret power in his hands, so how can Gerardo put up with this?
At the first sign that he had used his shadow powers, the news reached Dylan’s side.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
-Sir, what are we going to do?
-Don’t alert them yet, continue the investigation in secret. Find out how deep and how great is the power under Gerard’s hands, and don’t get caught.
The time has finally come to delve into Gerardo’s most intimate secrets.
Once he discovers the forces he possesses and eradicates them, he need not worry about anything else.
The plan has progressed well so far.
Vanessa was not surprised to see Dylan after work.
-Honey, how about a date? A candlelit dinner and then a movie. It’s silly, but you can’t deny that such a date would be very nice.
Vanessa didn’t react much and got straight into the car.
The restaurant was booked by Dylan a long time ago, so it was just the two of them in the whole restaurant.
Dylan’s lips were as crooked and his smile was as beautiful as a prince’s.
He looked at Vanessa with such affection that, to anyone who didn’t know, you would have thought he loved her very much.
Vanessa lowered her head, deliberately ignoring Dylan’s burning gaze, and ate calmly and quietly.
Suddenly, Dylan raised his hand and his fingertips gently brushed the corner of his lips.
-You have something stuck to your face.
With that, Dylan looked at Vanessa as he slowly and methodically licked the cheese off his fingers. That gesture, when he does it, is almost erotic and reeks of innuendo.
Forgive Vanessa for trying to ignore it, but there was no way to ignore it.
She blushed, but tried hard to look calm.
Dylan laughed softly, taking in her reaction.
-Do you like it?
Knowing that she would not let this man go without an answer, Vanessa had to nod:
-Very good.
Affirmation, without directly stating whether they like it or not.
Dylan didn’t think anything of it and continued to look at Vanessa with affection.
-We’re going to have an appointment once a week from now on, okay?
“Weekly? There is no telling how long their relationship will last. What’s the point of making such empty promises.”
Vanessa hid the mockery under her eyes and behaved meekly.
When the candlelit dinner was over, Dylan took her to the movies. Thank goodness Dylan didn’t rebook the entire theatre, the two of them bought tickets like a normal couple and Vanessa held the popcorn Dylan had bought her.
-I’ve heard that popcorn is a standard part of going to the cinema.
Vanessa looked at the popcorn in her arms; it was surprising that the last time she had seen a movie was before she married Orlando.
When the two of them were in love they also went shopping and watched movies like a normal couple, and when I think about it now, the sweetness of the time was like a lifetime ago. It seems like everything has changed without a second thought.
Somehow, Vanessa felt melancholic.
-What do you have in mind?
Looking at Dylan, Vanessa wasn’t sure which of her nerves had suddenly hit the wrong spot.
He said:
-The last time I saw a film was when I was with Orlando – looking at the popcorn – every time we went to the cinema, he got excited about the popcorn and said it made the atmosphere.
Dylan’s face turned grim, the theatre was too dark to see him, but Vanessa could sense it in his tone of voice.
But so what?
It even hurt her inside that she had angered Dylan, as if the angrier he got, the more it hurt her.
It was as if they were enemies.
-Come to think of it, we were very close back then.
-Baby, are you trying to piss me off on purpose?
Dylan leaned to the side, squeezing Vanessa’s chin and squinting at her. He moved closer and his biting breath accompanied him, enveloping Vanessa.
She shuddered unconsciously, but she was not about to give in.
-Yes, I did it on purpose.
She smiled brightly, as if she didn’t care that it made him angry.
-Little villain.
Dylan smiled indulgently, his dark eyes about to eat:
-Naughty boys have to pay for something.
-Is that so?
It was as if Vanessa had given her all and was surprisingly unconcerned about Dylan’s threats.
A smile tugged at Dylan’s lips, but his aura became more and more convincing. He moved closer and kissed her hard on the lips.
“It is a mouth that loves and hates at the same time”.
He loved her softness and gentleness, hated her misbehaviour and mischief.
Since she didn’t care either, it would be a good punishment. A passionate kiss and embrace in a darkened cinema … would be exciting to think about, wouldn’t it?
It is a pity that some facilities got in the way and it was not possible to eat here immediately.
But it was exciting enough to kiss her hard and risk being caught doing intimate things.
Vanessa regretted it.
He shouldn’t have provoked Dylan, how could he forget that the man didn’t even have a basic sense of shame. Even in the theatre, he dared to have an affair.
“It is an abomination!”
