She was shocked by his behavior as he backed her into a wall causing her to glare at him, what was he up to now?
“What are you doing?” He growled at that question.
“I should be the one asking you that question, Mr. Kenith!” Rhea retorted with a formal tone that made him freeze up.
He unconsciously let go of her and Rhea was relieved. Standing to her full height, she said to him with a cold tone, “I don’t know what’s up with you Mr. Kenith but I think you should watch the way you behave around me. We don’t want Big Joe to have the wrong impression of us, don’t we?”
Kenith snorted a laugh, “So you spend just a few hours with him and you think you’re now his woman?”
With a deep breath, Rhea took a forward step till they were staring into each other’s eyes, “You tell me? Wasn’t that your intention of bringing me here in the first place or is there another reason I don’t know?”
The past days have been strange for Lukas. He kept craving coffee, not exactly the one he made, the one from that store. It was not like the one made at that store was better than his own, but it must be because of a certain redhead.
So after a meeting at the other branches with his brothers – note: brother is used to refer to fellow gang members – he decided to go to the coffee store.
Unlike the other time, Lukas was carrying his dog Redhead in his arms. It was weird but he wanted to introduce the doggy redhead to the human redhead. It would be quite a union, don’t you think so?
Thankfully, the store let pets in as far as it was on a lease. But Lukas was a lawbreaker and simply held Redhead in his arms with no lease whatsoever.
“Sir,” One of the staff approached him to remind him of the pet rules, “Please, we don’t accept pets that…..”
Lukas simply fished out his premium card and held it out for him saying, “Subtract the penalty fees from here,”
The staff’s hand shook as he received the card from him. He stared down at the card, it was a premium card, a status symbol card only offered to high-earning big spenders. The staff gulped, what was this big shot doing in their humble store?
“I don’t have any other problems, do I?” Lukas winked at the staff with a charming smile that spread abroad his cheeks, exposing his dimples.
The staff who stared at Lukas’s expression at that moment, stood frozen. What the hell was this? Why the hell was this man trying to turn him gay?
Gosh, how could a man be more beautiful than his girlfriend? No, no, hold yourself, you shouldn’t fall for this temptation, you can’t handle this kind of man. The male staff mumbled to himself as he went to call his manager because he didn’t know how to deal with this situation anymore, while the person who caused the whole confusion was comfortable.
Lukas placed Redhead on the seat next to him and sat down comfortably. The dog was well behaved so he didn’t have to worry about him scurrying down from his chair and running around the coffee store as he chased after him.
Perhaps, this was why Peter loved the dog so much to lay down his life for him. It made Lukas wonder, would there come a time as well where he would have to lay down his life for a dog?
No, that would never happen, Lukas was confident of that possibility never occurring. The dog was merely his companion that he would abandon at any time and any day without blinking an eye. Right now, he just wanted to introduce him to that female redhead. Maybe he should just gift the dog to her? He had a feeling she would take good care of her.
So Lukas sat by the same window-side he chose on that day he came. It was far easier to monitor movements from the outside and inside this way in case of danger. The store must be good at delaying their customers because, like that day, he sat down waiting for his… Wait a minute, did he order?
Suddenly, a sly smile tugged his lips to the side, perhaps he could use the excuse of wanting to order coffee to see her. However, his plan was brought to naught because the manager and owner of the store came to see him. Lukas’s face changed at once, someone just ruined his mood.
Sycophant.
Lukas profiled the man in just one glance. He loved money too much and would use obsequious compliments to gain self-serving favor from him. Good thing he was used to suckers like this and they irritated him. Or perhaps, he could be of service to him.
“Good day sir….?” The manager tactically inquired of his name.
“Lukas,” He said, thrusting his hand out for a handshake which the man took carefully as if his hand was as fragile as an egg and would break if not cautiously taken.
“I’m the Manager of this little Café,” He gestured around, “Is there any way you’re not satisfied with our services, just tell me and I’ll adjust it for your wellbeing,” He said politely, treating Lukas like a high figure.
“Why should you change it for my well-being?” Lukas said, earning a confused, “Huh?” from him.
“Everybody should be treated as equals, don’t you think so?” Lukas said laughing.
“Of course,” the Manager said, laughing as well albeit awkwardly.
What kind of weirdo was this, the manager said in his mind.
“I need two cups of black coffee,” Lukas finally ordered.
“Black coffee?” The manager was surprised. Why would a fine young man like him want something that bitter? So he said to him, “Perhaps you would need whipped cream -“
“I want it as black as it comes,” Lukas said with quiet an authority, causing the man to gulp. He glanced up at the manager, “Don’t try to change my order the next time,”
“Oh, there will be a next time,” the Manager was exhilarated. As far as Lukas would come around once again, he doesn’t mind him scolding him.
Since the staff has gone to bring his order, Lukas found the manager’s presence quite irritating. He came here to see the redhead, not him.
“What are you still doing here or do you have a habit of hovering around your customers?” he asked him with a raised brow.
“Oh, sorry about that, sir Lukas,” He quickly apologized, “I just thought you would need my presence in case of -“
“Well, I don’t need your presence. You can leave now and let me enjoy my coffee in peace…..” Lukas trailed off when he saw the staff coming along with his order.
“Wait a minute,” Lukas said to him with his brows narrowed thoughtfully, “Why is he bringing my order? What happened to the redhead?”
“What redhead?…” The manager said, then it hit him, “You mean Rhea?”
“Rhea?” He tested her name on his tongue and the articulation was lovely. Her name was as exotic as the rest of her. He looked up, “Yes, that Rhea,”
“Well, she quit,”
“What?”
