Perfect disguise by Elizabeth A (speld decodable readers .txt) 📗

Diana's POV.

I placed my fancy leather handbag on the restaurant round table and picked the menu, observing it silently.

"So are you working on the new fashion collection for the summer?" 

I raised my head and nodded. "Yes, I'm still trying to come up with unique styles."

"I'm sure you will create a lovely collection." She assured me.

"Thanks." I told the woman, I realized that I still don't know her name.

"I'm sorry I didn't get to know your name." I told her. I dropped the menu and focused my attention on her.

She touched her chest in a pompous way. "Oh, my bad."

The woman stretched out her hand for a handshake. "I'm Mrs Rodriguez, but just call me Chloe."

I shook her a hand. "Okay, Chloe."

I looked at the young man beside her and smiled. "And you are?"

He jerked his head up and looked at me, his brow arched up, he looked surprised that I noticed him. He adjusted on his seat before he quickly took my hands and smiled right back. "Oh, I'm Dominic."

His hands were so smooth against mine, a cold shiver ran through my palm as my hands held his. Chloe sat, her eyes were glued on our intertwined hands, she looked like she would tore our hands apart with her stare.

I knew they weren't dating due to the frown that stayed on Dominic's face as he sat opposite to her and the looks that was on Chloe's face whenever she looked at him didn't show love and affection, but lust and desire.

Dominic was quite handsome. His curved smooth jaw made him look even younger, it was no wonder why Chloe was head over heels in lust with him. 

You can literally see her jaw dropping whenever she looked at him.

"I'm very sure you love your job." Chloe said in her usual high pitch voice.

Dominic jolted like he was in a trance and dropped his hands. My hand felt cold, longing for his warmth.

"Yes, I do." I replied, my hand tingled with spark from the contact of our palms.

Chloe smiled, seeming pleased with herself as she looked at Dominic's hands that were placed on the table. She stretched her hands towards Dominic, but he raised his hands halfway and rested his chin on it thereby dodging her outstretched hand.

Dominic brought out his phone and checked it. A frown made way to his face as his eyes lingered on the phone screen. It seemed like he had a place to go. 

Why was he even enduring Chloe's attitude?

She was like a pest, damaging his perfect reputation. 

Chloe dropped the menu and looked at me. "So have you come up with any new designs?" 

"Yes, I have, I just need to adjust some details."

A waiter wearing a red apron approached our table with a notepad in his hand. Chloe was the first to place her order, then me. 

Dominic picked the menu, looking at it with pure lack of interest. He turned the page and closed it with a sigh. "Just get me a cup of espresso." He said in a bored tone.

The waiter nodded before he hurriedly jotted our orders on his notepad.

Chloe raised a brow at Dominic. "Aren't you hungry? Why are you ordering only coffee?"

Dominic rapped his fingers on the table, frowning at her. "I've lost my appetite."

Chloe smiled, batting her eyelashes slowly, before reaching for his hands from across the table. She glided her fingers over his hands, caressing a spot.

She flipped her hair and bent a little, showing more of her cleavage towards Dominic's direction. 

"If you don't have an appetite for food, there is another thing you can have an appetite for, all you have to do is let me know."

Dominic's eyes narrowed at Chloe's direction. "What the heck are you saying?"

The waiter cleared his throat uncomfortably, waiting for the permission to bring our orders.

I gave him permission and he left with haste. I wasn't surprised that Chloe was obviously flirting with Dominic right in my presence, it seemed like she was intentionally saying those flirty words just to make me back off from Dominic. 

.She moved the tip of her finger along his hand, her eyes looking into Dominic's. "What I meant is if you're hungry for me, then you can have me, all you have to do is tell me."

Dominic coughed uneasily and fluttered his eyes bashfully, before looking at me to observe if I heard what Chloe said. 

I smirked at his cuteness and that made his face turn crimson. Gosh, he was just too cute when he was shy.

He cleared his throat and removed his hands from Chloe's reach. "Statement like that is not something you say in public, Chloe." 

The waiter came with a tray of a cup of espresso and placed it before Dominic.  

Chloe shrugged. "But I know you want me, you are just shy." Chloe said when the waiter left. 

She reached for his hand again and her fingers intentionally hit the cup of espresso before him, causing it to pour on Dominic's pants. 

Chloe quickly stood up and gasped. "Oh my gosh! I'm sorry." 

Chloe took a handkerchief from her purse and dabbed the area around his manhood, although there wasn't any coffee stain there. Dominic was still for a while, a look of shock plastered on his face and his face reddened in surprise and arousal. Chloe gradually rubbed her handkerchief around his manhood. 

Suddenly Dominic jerked up. "Seriously, you need to stop your nonsense, Chloe." He said and stormed out of the restaurant, with Chloe running after him as she slung her hand bag over her shoulder.

"Hey Dominic! Wait for me!" She called out.
