Now! I FOUND YOU
Dinner with Ciara

Apparently Vicky is not the type of person who likes to waste time. After the discussion meeting was over and the agreement was determined, the man immediately approached Ciara, as if he had waited a long time to do so.

"Where should I pick you up for dinner tonight????" Ask Vicky.

Ciara looked at Vicky, realizing that the man would not let her dodge. After all, they were still close to the other meeting participants, who could hear their conversation. It would be rude if Ciara did not answer Vicky's question.

"I stayed at four seasons" Ciara mentioned the name of a hotel that is quite famous in this city.

Vicky raised his eyebrows. "I'll pick you up in the lobby at exactly seven in the evening." The man apparently challenged Ciara to reject him.

Of course, despite being so eager, Ciara could not do it. "I'm going down to the lobby at that hour."

"Good." Vicky's smile widened, more like a grin. "Give me your contact number."

For a moment Ciara felt like rebelling and rejected Vicky outright, but then she realized that the man was deliberately drawing the limits of his patience. Doesn't Vicky hold his official business card? The man looked there and he knew Ciara's contact number. But apparently Vicky insisted on wanting to hear it from Ciara's own mouth.

"You can see the business card I gave you before the meeting." Ciara muttered half gritting her teeth,

Vicky's response to Ciara's annoyance was simply from the coldness of her stifled laughter, "Oh sorry, I forgot." The man blinked one eye seductively, making Ciara's cheeks flushed red.

Then one of his assistants called him and asked him something, the man's attention was distracted which meant that it was an opportunity for Ciara to escape.

He hurriedly turned around, hurriedly approaching Thomas and his secretary who had come with him.

"Seven o'clock exactly, Miss Ciara." Vicky muttered softly but enough for Ciara to hear. For a moment Ciara was stunned to hear the warning tone there, but then she decided to ignore it, immediately approached her secretary and pretended to discuss yesterday's meeting with her.

***

Seven minutes less than fifteen minutes...

Ciara looked at herself in the mirror. Almost two hours he spent deciding which dress to wear, he decided to wear a formal black long dress, but then he was afraid this dress was too formal, he's afraid of getting the wrong costume and it turns out Vicky isn't taking him to a formal restaurant.

In the end the choice fell into a continuous skirt along a light brown calf that was polite enough to be worn at formal events, but could also be worn to relax. After all, the dress is quite polite, so it will not make any man think of things.

He wore a gold bracelet in his hand and stuffed his feet into his dark brown flat-heeled shoes. His eyes glanced towards the clock on the wall and let out a long sigh.

Soon at seven exactly. The sound of his cell phone ringing made him jump in shock. Ciara hurriedly picked it up, and let out a long sigh when she found out that Bianca was the one who called her.

"How????" Bianca immediately asked, without waiting for Ciara's greeting.

Ciara. This cousin of his had urged him to go through the limits of his fear. He was afraid of men and Vicky was very urgent. "I haven't gotten anything. But tonight I'm going to have dinner with Vicky on business, you know, cooperation between the suppliers of goods in my company and the twins' company...." Ciara gulps her saliva, suddenly feeling guilty for deciding not to tell her about her meeting with Vicky at the bar, and also how Vicky chased after her aggressively.

Little does he know, that Bianca's real love is Vicky. He focused his attention on Garviil because Vicky rejected him. How could Ciara possibly tell Bianca that Vicky was after her?

"Good, take that chance, Ciara. Make Vicky fascinated by you." Bianca's voice sharpened, "But be careful. I know Vicky's fascinating, I don't want you to be fascinated by him."

"I won't be fascinated by him." Ciara answered quickly. Imagining Vicky scares her, she fears all men.

"Please promise me Ciara." Bianca sounded earnestly, "Please promise me that whatever happens you won't fall into Vicky's seduction and betray me."

Ciara let out a long sigh, "I promise, Bianca."

They chatted for a moment and Bianca ended the conversation. After closing the conversation, Ciara let out a long sigh. Then her phone rang again, Ciara glanced at her screen.

This time Vicky called.

"Hello???? I'm already downstairs." Vicky muttered again.

"OKAY. I'm going down." Ciara's heart is pounding. He took a deep breath and then stepped out of his room.

"Hi." Vicky immediately greeted Ciara when he saw the woman approaching him in the loby.

Ciara looked at Vicky and inevitably admired Vicky's performance tonight. This man was wearing a white t-shirt lined with a trendy black sports suit, and he was wearing jeans. His appearance was formal as well as relaxed.

"You look beautiful." Shamelessly Vicky observed Ciara from head to toe, making Ciara's cheeks blush.

"Thanks.." -..." He tries to stop Vicky's intense gaze at him, "Where are we going to dinner????"

"In a special place, you'll love it. Come on." The man gently sighed at Ciara's arm, taking her to his car that was waiting in the hotel lobby.

***

Vicky's car stopped at a fairly crowded cafe, with beautiful gardens and plants in front of him.

The atmosphere looks comfortable and pleasant.There are green plants and a beautiful garden on the front, making this cafe as the name implies, garden cafe. The cozy yellow light seemed dim and as if it was inviting tired people to go inside, sit down and order a cup of coffee while relaxing.

Ciara breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Vicky would bring her a formal dinner at one of her five-star hotels. It turned out that the man took her to the cafe she had been to yesterday, the cafe belongs to the twins but Ciara must be ordinary so as not to raise suspicion from Vicky and pretend not to know if it is the cafe owned by the man.

Maybe tonight wasn't so bad and maybe Ciara can get through tonight just fine.

"Let's go in." Without permission Vicky held Ciara's hand and invited her in. Ciara's fingers twitched in Vicky's hands, she tried to break away, but Vicky insisted the man still forced her to hold her hand.

Ciara wanted to thrash, showing her rejection, but then, when she entered the cafe, her attention was distracted and she was blown away.

The cafe looked dim, but the interior was very beautiful. People seemed to be enjoying their dishes at their desks. Some people seem to enjoy their solitude while sipping coffee and being busy with their computers. Some others seemed to enjoy being together, gathering together at a large table, and occasionally heard laughter from there.

And on the other hand, many couples who decide to have dinner together in another corner of the cafe are arranged with more emphasis on privacy and more romantic.

Vicky took Ciara to one of the quiet and comfortable corners, he pulled out a chair for Ciara politely.

After Ciara sat down, Vicky sat in front of her, looking at her with a sharp gaze over the shadow of the candle that was in the middle of their table.

"I hope you like being in this place."

"This is the place I went to yesterday, right??"?

Vicky laughs. "Yes. And this place has my brother, Garviil. You'll definitely meet him, he's the official owner of the company, I'll just replace him as long as he's on his honeymoon with his wife."

Garviil... Ciara let out a long sigh, suddenly remembering Bianca's words that she too must avenge Garviil, either by disturbing her or perhaps by ruining her marriage. How could Ciara possibly do it?

A friendly-looking middle-aged maid came to them, her smile widening when she saw Vicky.

"It's lucky Mr. Vicky to be able to have dinner with a woman as beautiful as you" he muttered as he looked attentively at Ciara, and made Ciara blush.

Vicky laughed, "Don't tease him.." then the man turned his eyes to Ciara and explained, "This Andro he is arguably the cafe's waiter."

Andro chuckled also at Vicky's nickname for him, then nodded politely to Ciara, "I'll have the waiter take down your order. Hope you enjoy your time here." The man half bowed then left the two of them.

A waiter immediately came to them, and then recorded the dinner menu and brought the appetizer. After that they stayed alone, waiting for their meal orders to come.

The atmosphere immediately became awkward. Maybe Vicky was mediocre, but somehow Ciara felt nervous.

"I'm sorry for what I did here yesterday." Vicky apologized, but did not seem to regret, "Although you can't blame me, I've always been attracted to beautiful women and you're one of them." he muttered without further ado. "I thought I'd lost you on that beach, but apparently we were paired up so we met again here yesterday and today at the office."

Aggressive behavior again. Suddenly Ciara was horrified. Will Vicky force her if she refuses?

"What did you do last night, alone and heading to that bar in the corner, Ciara? Are you lost???" Vicky pointed to the corner of the cafe where there was a small bar, while at this time they were in the cafe area not in the bar yesterday. The cafe and bar are separated by a glass barrier.

Vicky's intense gaze that seemed to stab into his heart made Ciara nervous. "I'm. uh. I'm lost." Finally Ciara just said it.

But apparently Ciara's answer still did not satisfy Vicky, "From all the places near the hotel, you went into this cafe... Are you looking for someone????"

I was looking for you. In her heart Ciara wanted to throw those words in Vicky's face, but of course she couldn't do it right??? "I told you I was lost. Besides how could I possibly be looking for someone??? I don't know anyone here."

Vicky won't be able to connect it with Bianca. Ciara has made sure to cover all traces of their relationship.

"Oh." This time Vicky chose not to insist, "Have you got a girlfriend???"

"What???" Ciara widened her eyes, not expecting the question to come out of Vicky's mouth.

"I don't have to repeat my question, do I??? I was just wondering if you had one, Ciara."

"And what's your business about that???" Ciara's voice is noticeable, as a cover of her defensive nature towards men. But Ciara's sniffling voice did not affect Vicky, the man leaned his body on the chair casually.

"For if you have none, I plan to have you."

Forcers. Aggressively. Dominants.

Ciara also decided. This man, behind his casual attitude is still the same as men at his age, they are all the same, likes to impose his will on women. "I accepted your dinner invitation on grounds of politeness." Ciara immediately let out her formal voice, the kind of voice that was always used to her men, making her a respected CEO. "But if you start being disrespectful, then I'm sorry, I'll go." Ciara was ready to move from her seat when Vicky's sturdy fingers held her back.

There was nothing Ciara did but stare at Vicky's fingers with a reproachful look. Apparently Vicky understood the signal, the man let go of his grip and crossed his arms,

"Don't go Ciara, I'm sorry. You're the kind of woman who ran away in a storm when forced apparently. I got the wrong strategy." And then his smile widened again, "Sit down, enjoy your dinner, I promise I'll be polite all night."

Ciara looked at Vicky. trying to find the truth in those eyes. "All right." he murmured, trying to be as cold as possible.

And then the appetizer came, distracting them. Ciara stared in amazement at the exquisite dish, it was a patisserie inside which was given a creme brulee with a strawberry garnish on top. It looks so beautiful and seductive...

This cafe is really fun. Ciara. Spreading his gaze around while Vicky was talking to the waiter who prepared their dishes. The atmosphere is romantic, calm and comfortable and the food looks good.

Ciara's eyes kept circling around the entire corner of the cafe, and then she was flabbergasted, her face instantly paled when she saw that figure. The figure who was sitting not far from them, was enjoying a meal with his male friends.

That figure was a figure that Ciara would never forget. A cruel monster imprinted on his mind even after the years had passed.

That's......Devan!

The man who once tried to force his will on Ciara. Disgusting man, representative of all that Ciara fears and hates. For years Ciara had not seen him, of course like her, Devan's appearance had changed to become more mature, but Ciara was sure the man would still remain evil and coercive.

Jemari Ciara clenched, so powerful that her knuckles turned white. He needs to get out of here as soon as possible. The monster can't see it!

But how? The evil monster was sitting by the door, Ciara had to go through it if she wanted to get out. The man wasn't there when Ciara came in with Vicky, so he must have just arrived.

Meanwhile, Vicky finishes his conversation with the waiter, he focuses his attention back on Ciara, and realizes something is wrong with Ciara.

The woman was as pale as cotton, her expression tense and there was terror in her eyes, while her fingers clenched firmly on the table. Vicky immediately felt anxious. "Ciara???? Why you????" Ask Vicky.

Ciara jumped because Vicky surprised her. "Ah it's okay."

"Come, at the meal..!!" Vicky.

Ciara really wanted to get away from this place. Hope Devan doesn't see it. But how could he leave, the food had already come and he was at a loss to tell Vicky what reason. Ciara also tried to be calm and enjoy the food that has been served. It's not good if he just leaves. Ciara then invited Vicky to chat about their company cooperation, to relieve her nervousness because of Devan's existence. Ciara hopes Devan doesn't see her here. Ciara had no idea why, so vast was America from the far north to the south, why she had to meet Devan in this city. It's so annoying.

Meanwhile Vicky kept smiling looking at Ciara. This woman looks assertive but Vicky can know that Ciara is a good girl and not as arrogant as socialite women in general. Although Ciara is very rich but the appearance of Ciara is very far from luxury. And as standard as a normal woman. This is what makes Vicky more interested and want to get to know Ciara more closely. Her brother was right, that he should be able to start moving on from Tiffany, because life goes on. Even for Vicky, Tiffany can never just disappear from her heart. He had a special place deep down in his heart. Tiffany is a love that will always be eternal in her life.

"Madar...!!!"

Vicky turned his head and found a man standing behind Ciara. Then Vicky turned to look at Ciara, finding the woman's face that was frowning but Ciara refused to look back, where the man who called her was. Even the man's hand touched Ciara's shoulder.

"Madar...!!!" Call him again while patting Ciara on the shoulder.

Wanting to not want to, Ciara finally turned her head. Vicky just fell silent and looked at Ciara and the man alternately.

Ciara looked up and looked at Devan sharply. "What's wrong?" Ciara asked after trying not to be afraid of Devan.

"How are you baby? It's been a long time since we met." Devan pulled out a chair and sat down next to Ciara, as if ignoring Vicky's whereabouts. Devan asks Ciara because they haven't seen each other for a long time. While Vicky was only silent because he was confused, who this man was.

"Why did you appear without a trace...? You ran away like someone who saw a demon, when I just wanted to invite you to have fun." Devan again. He asked why did he just disappear without a trace???? Why Ciara ran away like people see demons, whereas Devan just wanted to invite Ciara to have fun.

Devan turned towards Vicky and looked at Vicky with a mocking look. "How about now? Have you figured out how much fun making Iove is??? How many times a week do you do that with this guy?" Devan pointed towards Vicky. Ask Ciara if Ciara already knows how fun it is to make love? Devan then again asks to denigrate Ciara. Ask a week how many times Ciara did that with this man, which she meant was Vicky. "I think I'm more skilled than him. My c0ck is bigger's. You should try it once in a while."Devan chuckles again and feels that he is more skilled than Vicky because his Pe''nis is bigger than Vicky's. And Ciara had to try it once in a while to have a kiss with him.

Plaaaaakkkk

A loud slap landed on Devan's cheek. Ciara slapped Devan because of the man's words that had already been very demeaning to her.

In that instant everyone in the cafe turned their attention to Ciara and Vicky's table. Ciara stood up furiously and held back her tears. Vicky was also surprised and immediately stood up. This was the first time he had heard of a man openly demeaning a woman in front of him. Vicky's angry face was clearly visible. Vicky approached Ciara and stood in front of the woman as if to protect her. Vicky stared intently at the man he did not know. Pulling the collar of his shirt and immediately putting a hard punch on the man's face made the man fall on the floor. "You came to hit me...!!!

" Anger Devan, he tried to stand up and will avenge Vicky's punch.
