“Roses for a beautiful woman like you,” Uriel whispered when she entered his engine. She didn't know how she should react. She was glad that a man was treating her better than her husband, but she felt guilty using Uriel to make Leo jealous.
“Uriel,” She called his name. She blinked as she stopped herself from crying. Uriel was treating her right, and if Leo wasn't the one she met first, she was sure she would fall in love with this man.
“Don't say anything. I want to enjoy everything with you. I understand why you accepted my invitation, Blossom.” Uriel held her hand and squeezed with gentleness. She bit her lips when she felt them tremble.
“I'm not dumb, okay? I want to help you, too. Suppose it's alright with you. Blossom, I want to admit that you caught my attention, and I'm asking myself why Leo treated you like this.”
Blossom didn't say anything. She sighed deeply when she felt her chest was going to explode because of Uriel.
“I know everything. And I will enjoy what you're going to give to me. Aside from that, I'm pleased whenever I see Leo's irritated face.” Uriel chuckled, which made her laugh too. She removed her unhappiness and decided to enjoy Uriel's company.
“Let's go.” Uriel started the engine without glancing at Leo's car. He didn't notice that Leo was looking at their vehicle when they entered the car. Leo's expression darkened when he peeked at his expensive wristwatch; he counted the time since Uriel didn't begin driving the vehicle. He was thinking about what Blossom and Uriel were doing inside.
His jaw tensed, and he blankly stared at his phone when Erin's name flashed on the screen. He sighed deeply when he tapped the answer button.
“Where are you? I thought you were going to fetch me?” Erin's tone was too sweet, but it didn't enlighten his mood.
“I think we should see each other at the restaurant entrance. I'm too busy to fetch you right now.” He coldly informed her. He didn't wait for her to respond and quickly ended the phone call.
He tightly held the steering wheel. He clenched his teeth in so much madness when he started his engine.
Blossom went out to the car when Uriel opened the door for her. She bit her lips when a smile wanted to come out of her lips. She looked at her hand when Uriel didn't free her hand. She sighed.
She was thinking about how is feel if Leo did that for her. She wanted to experience everything that Erin had shared with her husband.
“What are you thinking?” Uriel whispered in her ear. She stepped back when his breath tickled her.
“I saw you frown multiple times. Do you want to continue our dinner together?” Blossom's mouth hung open; she was unaware that she was frowning. Maybe, it's because she thought about Erin again.
“Oh, I'm sorry, Uriel. I'm thinking about a worthless person I have ever met.” She kidded. Uriel smirked and avoided his eyes on her, but there was hidden happiness in his eyes.
“Okay, don't ever think about that. I want you to enjoy my company. I know you will like this restaurant.” Uriel held her waist and plastered a dashing smile at her. She didn't react when she saw a pair coming into the restaurant.
“I doubt you will enjoy my company if there's a villain in our surroundings,” Uriel muttered when he saw Leo and Erin walking to the entrance.
Erin held Leo's hand tightly when she saw Blossom with a handsome man beside her. She grinned when Blossom didn't even try to glance at them. She raised her head to look at Leo, watching Blossom intently. She forced a smile.
“I don't even know that Blossom was here. She's having a date with a man, Leo.” She innocently uttered. She saw how Leo's expression changed when she mentioned Blossom, which made her furious. She thought that they would have privacy and talk about their relationship. She never knew that Blossom was here.
She even thinks that Leo has a plan to propose to her. She hoped it was true so she could slap Blossom with the truth that Leo wanted her to be his wife. She secretly gritted her teeth; how it will happen if Blossom always appeared whenever she wanted to be with Leo?
“You don't need to mind them. You should enjoy our dinner and stop watching other people's business.” Leo icy looked at her as if he wanted her to act like a good girl. Erin forced a grin, and she worked to laugh. She touched Leo's chest when she saw Blossom was watching them, too.
“You're right! I won't mind that your wife is here. I promised that I would enjoy our dinner; I'm sorry if I think about them. I don't want other people gossiping about me for being your mistress.” She blinked and acted like she was unhappy. She worked like she was about to cry when Leo patted her hair.
“Let's eat our dinner first. I still have a lot of things to do.” Erin felt disappointed that Leo didn't even comfort her. She thought Leo would do the same whenever she cried to him when Blossom was trying to be a bitch.
“You seemed too busy, Leo. Do you want to have a vacation with me?” She asked.
Blossom couldn't stop herself but waited for Leo's answer. She had never had a vacation with Leo, and she thought at first that Leo had gone because he wanted to be with her. The truth was Leo's had an appointment at the same place that she was going to, that's why they both rode on the same plane.
“If you want us to have a vacation, I'll be glad to give you what you want.” Blossom tasted the bitterness on her tongue. She tried to hide her emotion when, although she wanted to explode after she heard Leo's response to Erin. She gazed at Uriel when she felt he was holding her hand too tight.
“Do you want to have a vacation with me?” Uriel playfully asked, which made her giggle. She wanted a vacation, but she had something important to do.
“As if I could do that, Uriel. You know that I'm here to work, right?” They walked toward the entrance. She acted that Leo and Erin weren't at the restaurant too. She was embarrassed after what Uriel did for her so that she would do the same thing.
“Maybe, after your work here. I want to go to another country with you.” Uriel smiled at her and held her waist too tight. She nodded and didn't say anything.
Uriel talked to the waiter and ushered them to their reserved table. In her peripheral vision, she saw Leo was too near to them. Erin was sweetly talking to him, and Leo had his focus on the woman in front of him.
“You won't enjoy my company if you keep stealing a glance at your husband, Blossom. It would help if you acted like he wasn't in the same restaurant as us. I'm sure that he will notice that.” Blossom was stunned when Uriel whispered in her ear. She almost gasped when their faces were too close to each other.
”Do you understand what I told you? You should act like you aren't affected by his presence.” Blossom's eyes widened when Uriel moved too close to her. She swallowed when she glanced at his pinkish lips.
“What are you doing, Uriel?” She nervously inquired. She was almost out of breath when Uriel moved away from her. There's a playful grin on his handsome face.
“Based on my calculation. Leo thought that we were kissing. I saw him glaring at me, and I'm sure he thought you were kissing me in front of him.”
“Even he would catch us or assume that we were doing that. He isn't affected, so Uriel, you should stop playing with me.”
“I don't think so. Blossom, I'm a man, and I know what the man will think. Okay, let's have a bet.” He moved closer again. He almost kissed her ear, which made Blossom flush in nervousness.
“If I'm correct, I will get a chance to have dinner with you again, but if I'm wrong, I won't ask for a dinner date with you.” Ariel caressed her cheek, which made her feel shy instantly.
“Uriel, I have known him for so long. I know that He isn't affected because he only wants Erin.” She mumbled. She touched his chest, and when he moved closer.
“Leo is glaring at me right now. Let's see.” Blossom was about to look at Leo's expression, but Uriel stopped her by holding her shoulder. “Don't look back. He would do something to make you leave this restaurant. You should act like you aren't aware of it.”
“I don't understand why I believe you! I know that you are tripping me.” Blossom shook her head in disbelief. She was hoping that Leo was truly jealous; she wanted to see that she had an improvement toward him.
“I don't do trippings, Blossom. You should prepare yourself to have dinner with me again because I know that I will win.” Uriel moved away and winked at her. He intentionally let Leo see what he was doing to his wife. He maybe felt jealous that Leo had Blossom, but he wanted Blossom to have her happy ending.
“Enjoy your meal.” The waiter flashed an attractive smile at them when he gave them their food. Blossom gasped when she saw how beautiful the presentation was. She felt that she didn't want to ruin the food.
She glanced at Uriel, who was too busy cutting a steak. He was too noble whenever he did something. She pouted and tasted the food that she had ordered.
“I know it's delicious. Do you want to taste my food?” Uriel took a small steak; Blossom gulped when she saw the steak was too good. Initially, she was hesitant, but she found herself moving close to his food. She moaned when the flavor of the steak lasted on her tongue.
“It's good!” She chewed and glanced at his food. Uriel chuckled and gave her food again.
They looked like a real couple, and they forgot that Leo was watching them like a lion who wanted to eat his prey.
Erin scoffed when she saw how Blossom acted with Uriel. When she gazed at Leo, she finally lost her appetite. She was hoping that Leo would not work like he was affected by what Blossom was doing, but she could almost see him clenching his teeth in anger.
She faked her coughing, and a little scheme came into her mind. She was mad that Blossom snatched the spotlight on her, so she was happy to give her more.
“I didn't know that Blossom was too close to a man. She didn't even mind what you were going to think. I can't believe that she is flirting with a man right now. Did you see how perfect they are together?” Erin mumbled. She devilishly hid her smirks when Leo looked at her, but there was anger in his eyes.
“She didn't like to divorce you, but she's acting single.” Erin shook her head and took the wine glass. She smiled and tasted the wine.
“Leo, if she wants to play with another man, she should divorce you first. Did you think that she was unfair to you? I'm just thinking about you. I don't want you to get humiliated because of what she was doing.” She added.
A triumphant smile was evident on her lips when she noticed that Leo glared at Blossom. She was too excited to see how Blossom would suffer at Leo's hand.
“I'm sorry; please don't get mad at me.” She bowed her head to hide the truth that she was acting in front of him.
