Sold To An Alpha - Chapter 66
A half-smile formed on his lips behind the mask, and a low sigh escaped from his mouth. He grabbed another bottle of alcohol to drink, but his eyes were suddenly drawn to two people seated at a table a distance away from him. He subconsciously dropped the bottle on the counter and turned his head to stare at the young man, smiling widely at a pretty young lady seated opposite him on the round table.
“Will you go out on a date with me?” The young man asked the young lady, and instead of a reply, the young lady’s eyes darted around and she lowered her head as though shy.
Beads of sweat began to drip from the young man’s head as the wide smile on his face turned into a nervous one. He stared at the young woman with anticipation in his blue eyes. From his facial expression, one could tell that he had a hard time mustering enough courage to propose a date to the young lady.
The young woman fiddled with her fingers as though thinking and an unexpected smile spread across her lips. “Mhmm.” She nodded her head at the young man and raised her face, which was full of happy smiles, to gaze at him.
The young man instantly cheered up as a breath of relief escaped his mouth, and he gently grabbed the young lady’s hand and stared deep into her eyes.
Adrik, who was still watching them, fluttered his lashes and averted his gaze. ‘A date.’ He turned to the bottle of beer in front of him and stared deeply at it. He unknowingly let out an exhale and inhale until someone tapped him on the shoulder.
He slowly raised his head and turned, only to see the young lady sitting beside him, her brow furrowed, staring at him. She had brown skin, very short hair, and tattoos all over her arms. A little ring was clasped on her nose, making her look unique and pretty. She looked a little older than his little wife.
He arched his brow at her with an expressionless face, and the young girl rolled her eyes. “What the hell is going on with you? You’re making me uncomfortable with your weird behavior.” Her face puckered and she folded her arms.
Adrik’s eyes blinked in disbelief, and he glanced beside him to make sure that it was him the lady was talking to. ‘She’s talking to me.’ He almost chuckled in doubt as he thought and turned his face to gaze at the girl. “Do you know who I am?” He asked, as he still found it unbelievable that this young lady was speaking to him. I mean this was the first time that someone, especially a lady casually spoke to him.
“Ahh, who doesn’t know you?” She scoffed and sarcastically rolled her eyes. “You’re Mr. Avalanzo, the world’s richest man, no?” She chuckled and grabbed the cocktail glass.
Adrik smiled at her behavior and slightly shook his head. “And you’re not…”
“Afraid? Pfft.” The young lady laughed softly and gulped down the cocktail. “People may fear you, but I don’t. The only thing I fear is hell. ” She curled her lips and ordered another cocktail.
Adrik slightly nodded at her and interlocked his hands. “May I ask you a question?”
“Sure, whatever.” The young girl shrugged and received another cocktail from the bartender.
“Is taking your girlfriend or your wife on a date romantic?” Adrik gazed intently at her, awaiting her response.
The minute the young girl heard his question, she immediately spits out all the cocktails in her mouth. She slowly raised her head to gaze at him, with an expression of disbelief on her face. “You are not serious.” She began to laugh mockingly and shook her head at him in doubt. “Which planet are you from?”
“What do you mean?” Adrik’s brow crinkled as he asked with a deep, husky voice.
“Let me guess, you have never taken a woman on a date before.” The young girl stared at him with one of her brows arched.
Hearing her question, Adrik slightly coughed and gulped down his drink.
“Haha. I guessed it right.” The young girl shook her head in amusement and ordered another cocktail. “Well, taking your girl on a date is a very romantic thing to do, so yes it is.” She smiled and nodded at him.
“I see.” Adrik bobbed contemplatively and sipped from his bottle. “What is your name?” He glanced at her as he asked.
“Kiesha.” The young girl answered and turned her head to gaze at him.
“It was nice talking to you, Kiesha.” Adrik smiled at her behind his mask and stood up from the stool.
“It was enjoyable talking to the richest man in the world.” Keisha chuckled softly and nodded at him. “Bye, Mr. Avalanzo.”
Adrik shook his head in amusement, and with his hands yanked into his pocket, he walked out of the restaurant, under the gazes of the surrounding people.
The moment he stepped out of the entrance, he pulled his phone out of his pocket and dialed Alex’s number.
[Supreme Alpha]
“Alex, I have a task for you. Come to the mansion immediately.”
[Yes, Supreme Alpha]
Adrik hung up the call and stuffed the phone into his pocket. He walked towards his car and took his place in the driver’s seat. Then, with a reverse of the car, he drove out of the restaurant and onto the road.
He arrived at his mansion in an hour and stepped down after carefully parking the car. A deep breath left his nose, and he began to walk into the building with a smile on his face.
The maids greeted him with a deep bow, and he nodded at them. He made his way to the elevator, which took him to the 2nd floor, and he strolled to their room.
Adrik slowly pushed the door and slipped inside. He glanced at the bed to see his little wife dressed in white pyjamas and sleeping soundly.
He walked to the bed and took his mask off, then leaned down and placed a soft kiss on her head.. He straightened up to leave, but a yawn from Leia stopped him. “Adrik, is that you?”
