Tempting My Rented Boyfriend - Chapter 176

Ch-175

As he turned around, Cedric’s facial features were covered with a disgusted expression. How he wished to strangle her to her death?

Cedric went to the balcony and called his assistant. He asked him to forward all the work mails to his mail. After giving him a few instructions he hung the call. Letting Nathaira hear his work phone calls was like walking on the ticking bomb. If she gets to know about their plan or after she got the backlash of their plan… if she wanted to retaliate she can do that with ease. After all, she was peeping onto his phone calls. He needs to have a backup plan now. With a sigh, he walked ahead.

“Shall we?” he asked Nathaira as he smiled.

Nathaira nodded and took his hand. Cedric never wanted to offer his arm to her. Eleanor was the only one who deserves to take his arm. But he has to hold it on, have patience with everything.

Reaching the car… he opened the door for her. Nathaira hopped onto the car with a smile on her face. “Where shall we go?” he asked.

“How about a dinner?” Nathaira said.

“I know you would say this. I already booked a place for us,” he said.

“Then why did you ask me?” she asked with a cute, which looked not at all cute but disgusting and annoying to Cedric.

“I wanted to know your opinion, Beautiful,” ‘viper’ he said but he said the last part unsaid.

“You are so naughty,” she said. Cedric smiled at her. He started driving. Soon they reached a place.

He got down from the car and Nathaira got down too.

“This restaurant… is started by retired police. He always believes in equality… so he never put the system of private rooms in his chain of restaurants. Also… the food here is too delicious and hygienic,” Cedric explained as he looked at the restaurant in front of them.

Nathaira felt elated that he took her to a special restaurant to commemorate her return to Lucren. With a big smile, she took his arm and entered the restaurant. Suddenly she has a bad feeling. But she said nothing she just walked ahead. After a long time, she was having a date with Cedric. She needs to enjoy that instead of overthinking.

The server came and showed their way to the table. This restaurant never had an arrangement of booking. So people have to wait till the table was empty. Luckily there was an empty table available for them. They sat in it.

“Order whatever you like,” Cedric said with a smile.

Nathaira ordered a few dishes she liked. And she also ordered food according to Cedric’s tastes. Soon the food arrived. Cedric started eating his food along with Nathaira. Also, he kept adding the food to her plate. Which made Nathaira unable to overthink or analyze things. She was too happy about Cedric serving her food.

Cedric didn’t eat much food. He doesn’t even want to share a table with her but he has to.

[Cedric, control.]  Cedric said to himself.

Finishing his food, he placed the cutlery aside and continued to watch Nathaira. “What are you looking at?” Nathaira suddenly felt shy under his gaze.

“Waiting for you to finish the food and continue the things that we stopped earlier,” he said with a smirk for which she blushed. She was too happy that Cedric was taking initiative for her.

She ‘blushed’ and continued to eat ‘slowly’.

“What a small world!” Cedric exclaimed when he saw a woman take the next table beside them.

“What do you mean?” Nathaira asked curiously.

“That woman… yellow dress,” Cedric pointed.

“Yeah… what about her?” she asked.

“She chased Valene Parkinson for years but she got rejected. Now…. she is angry with Eleanor. Because the news about Eleanor and Valene bearing together is spreading out like fire. But in real… Eleanor treats him like her brother. But this woman… doesn’t know. So, she hated her to the core. She started attacking Zora groups with all her might. Eleanor is just a rookie in the industry and her major is culinary skills. The Zora groups wouldn’t have a chance. They will have a chance only if Aiden steps inside.

“And you know… if she gets a chance to kill her. She wouldn’t hesitate to kill her. That deep her hatred is…” Cedric said with a smirk.

“Really?” Nathaira asked.

“Yes,” he said.

Nathaira’s eyes glimmered with hope and happiness. Then she can use this woman to close Eleanor’s chapter.

She doesn’t know why but all good things were happening in a row. Cedric was taking an initiative and an arch of Eleanor appeared in front of her.

A romantic date, a vengeful plan for her in front of her eyes, next it would be a hot night. Also… she would get pregnant. She will be the mother of Cedric’s child. She will marry Cedric and would become Mrs. Emerson. Aww…. just the thought was making her happy. Now… all she needs was to move things in the right way. And a beautiful life was ahead of her.

“Do you want to eat more?” Cedric asked.

“Hmm… a dessert,” she said.

“Let me order it for you,” Cedric said.

*ring* *ring*

Cedric groaned in frustration when his phone rang. “Let me take this call and go to the men’s room. Your order in the meantime. I will be back in a few min,” he said.

Cedric’s sister was the one who called him. No matter why she called him, she called at the right time. He was already waiting for Edward’s call but he wasn’t calling him. Now… he got a call he needs to pull himself together and do the act well.

Picking the call, he walked to the restaurant’s balcony. “Hello, Little angry sister. What fortune I made that I got a call from you?” Cedric asked.

“Shut up! You idiot! You went on a date with Nathaira!?” she asked as she started throwing her words like a bomb.
