ASKING HIM OUT ON DINNER

last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56
It's a new day. The rays of light penetrating the cotton into the room falls on Jordan, who is sprawled out on the master bed.

A glance at the room is enough to show anyone that it must have cost a fortune as the room glows and twinkles.

From the chandeliers hanging on the roof to the tiles on the floor, everything screams overbearing wealth.

The room is in shades of gold, black and white. The wall is painted white.

The cotton, duvet, pillow, and bed are black. And the rest of the things in the room are gold. Pure gold.

This is Jordan's paradise. The paradise he abandoned to go live with Isabella in the Cadens' residence as a live-in-son-in-law and turned out to become a slave.

If only the Cadens were here they would have gotten an eye opener and seen that they don't even compare to Jordan's finger.

BEEP! BEEP!

Jordan's phone on top of the drawer beside the headlamp begins ringing.

"Mmm," Jordan groans hoarsely and without looking over or even opening his eyes, stretches his hand an

    It's 7:30 p.m. An Uber pulls over neatly in front of Moonlit Bear Ristorante, and after paying the Uber driver, Jordan calmly alights and glances subtly at Moonlit Bear Ristorante before walking toward it.There is an air of luxury and sophistication oozing out of the restaurant in tides, and so many flashy cars are parked all around.Jordan is not surprised as this is just what he expected from a five-star restaurant. In fact, if he had gotten here and it had not been like this, he would have turned around and left because it would have meant the restaurant wasn't living up to its name.Surprisingly, Jordan only knows one side of the story as he had kept a low profile for such a long time and as such hasn't related with the other activities and businesses in the county for a while. Turns out Moonlit Bear Ristorante is not only a five-star restaurant as it had over the years progressed to become one of the best restaurants in the county!And as such only the wealthy can dine here.

    "Miss Daisy!" The doorman's jaw drops and he unconsciously takes two steps backward, suddenly looking so flustered. This is Daisy, the prestigious Princess of the Kane family, who wouldn't? Her presence alone is enough to make anyone below her level flustered, both rich and poor, let alone him, a mere doorman, who has nothing to his name. And to top it off, she appears so furious as if she just wants nothing more than to rip him into dreads. But he has not wronged her in any way, so why is she so furious at... Wait, his pupils dilate. She said she doesn't know if this punk would blame him or not, but she would, does that mean she knows him? But he is just a pauper while she is the Princess of the Kane family, how can she be entangled with him, a mere pauper? "Jordan is my date for the night, how could you riffraff treat him impolitely, have you gone nuts?!" Daisy roars, snapping him out of his reverie, dropping yet another bomb. "What?" The doorman balks, his jaw almost drop

    Jordan stares at them for a little more while and stares away, diving back into his food. After eating for a little more while, he gently drops his cutlery, wipes his mouth and hands with the serviette on the table before him, tosses it away, and stands."I need to make use of the restroom. I won't be long," he looks at Daisy who is staring at him quizzically and says cooly."Alright," Daisy retorts and picks up a glass of wine, sensually taking a sip. "Don't be long as you said. I'll be waiting."Jordan nods with a smile and steps out, locating the male restroom and heading in. In just a few minutes, he is done and out, setting his pants in place and preparing to head back to Daisy, who must be waiting.But at this moment, his eyes catch sight of one of the men that came with Henry and Isabella abruptly stopping a waiter carrying a tray containing two glasses of wine."Thank you for bringing it this far, I'll take it up from here and make sure it gets to Henry and Isabella," the man

    "Thank you for the thoughtful gesture, Mr. Quentin," Isabella says with a half-smile before Henry, who is grinning from ear to ear owing to Jordan's impending tragedy, can say anything. "But for some reasons best known to me, I don't want Jordan to be punished by the cops." She sighs despondently and turns to Henry, saying softly, "I'm sorry, but I have to leave now. I'm exhausted." The grin on Henry's face fades away and his eyes squint darkly. He had assumed after everything was resolved, he would have a chance with Isabella and could still go ahead to drug her one way or another and have his way with her. Sleeping with her is like an ache. His blood rushes at the mere thought of his dick buried deep inside her pussy and stretching her pussy walls. But once again, his plan has failed. He so much feels like punching holes through walls, but remembering he still needs to pretend to be the perfect gentleman to Isabella, he pulls himself together and clears his throat, "Quentin,"

    "Are you so useless that you can't even handle a mere pauper and have to run to me for help? Do I have to spoon-feed you through everything? Why then am I paying you as my manager? If you can't even handle a mere pauper, then of what use are you to me?!" The man from the other end of the line roars, his voice so overbearing.Quentin breaks out in a cold sweat, his body shuddering hysterically and his back prickling. "No, boss, it's not like that!" He cries out, exasperated. "This particular pauper seems to have somewhat supernatural power!" He pauses and nibbles on his lower lip. "I know you might think me crazy for saying that, but it is nothing but the truth! With just a casual wave of his hand, five of the restaurant's guardians lost their fighting abilities! "Please listen carefully to the background, boss and you will hear their cries! These are guardians you hired yourself! And that is not all, he defeated an additional eight!

    An Uber neatly pulls over in front of a building guarded by a gigantic gate, and the Uber driver kills the engine. "We are here, sir," he looks up at the rearview mirror and says coolly."Mmm," Jordan flutters open his eyes. He'd momentarily zoned off to another realm while meditating. He takes a deep breath and pays the Uber driver before alighting."Who is that?" As soon as his foot touches the ground, a certain young lady clad in luxurious apparels asks haughtily, her glance on Jordan condescending."I've never seen that face before. Perhaps, he is new to the county?" Another lady retorts with raised brows."How can that be the case? For someone who arrived here in an Uber, he is obviously not in our class and is a pauper and that should be the reason we don't know him!""Indeed, that must be the case! But I'm wondering what a pauper like him could be doing here. I thought this party was meant for only those in the upper class like us?""I thought so too. Could the Kanes be losing

    The smile on Daisy's face instantly fades and she bites down on her lower lip, intense rage coursing through her veins in ripples.Naturally, what Henry says never gets to Daisy and she has always been one to shrug off his words with a smile or comeback. But this time around, things are different because what Henry just said has struck a deep nerve in her as it is nothing but the truth. And it has rendered her speechless.This is clearly because it has always been a natural thing for wealthy families to associate with only people as rich or even more than they are so Henry is just stating the obvious fact by saying her family would never allow her to date a loser like Jordan.There are no two ways around it. Indeed, if Jordan is truly a loser, she would have no other option but to let him be when the time comes. As much as the thought hurts, there's nothing she can do about it.She is almost on the verge of tears as she can't imagine dissociating herself from Jordan. She has gotten so

    Jordan is a mere pauper, so it is impossible for him to have gotten an invitation, let alone have one. Obviously, Daisy had wanted to take him in without one...But now that is no longer possible as he has called Gavin, who he believes has greater power in the family than Daisy.He puffs his chest arrogantly. Now, that is just the best punishment!It would turn out that the pauper had taken all his time to prepare and come here only for him to be kicked out.What other punishment would have been greater than that? "Obviously, none," he blurts and rubs his jaw, marrying Jordan's gaze and adding, "Now punk, that right there is the difference between you and me!

    Henry's face darkens. He is the young master of the Maguires, how can he get on his knees and apologize to Jordan?Such an act would not only disappoint his family but also jeopardize his position as the heir apparent. His pride and ego would also be crushed and he might never be able to raise his head high again."You don't want to do it?""You're being unfairly unfair to me. When Isabella apologized to you, you didn't ask her to get on her knees. Why are you asking me to do that? What are you trying to achieve?""Achieve? Hmph!" Jordan snorts. "I choose how I want anyone to apologize to me. It's late, and I need to leave. Are you apologizing or not?""I can only apologize to you while standing; I'll never kneel to you," Henry grits his teeth."What if I insist?" A menacing aura suddenly bursts out of Jordan, and he grabs Henry's shoulder, applying force."Ah!" Henry cries out, his face distorting. "What are you doing?!" he barks."Kneel!" Jordan bellows, applying more force.THUD!J

    GET ON YOUR KNEES

    Seeing this, Natasha turns pale. From Jordan's reaction, it's obvious he and this person are not on good terms. This leaves her wondering how that could be when the person gifted him such a unique card.Perhaps he did before whatever happened between them happened. She can't help feeling bad for asking the question."I'm sorry," she whispers."It's fine," Jordan offers her a small smile. "You did nothing. Let's just continue eating."Back at the hall...Somehow Henry and Isabella has managed to consume a quarter of the order. For an order that took three tables, that in itself is a commendable feat. At this moment, Isabella is sitting on the floor, drenched in sweat.Though there's AC in the room, it's as if nothing is touching her. Her naturally flat tummy appears to have broken its record today as it is now protruding. Beside Isabella, Henry is in a similar state, just that he is gasping so much, almost as if he can't breathe.For the first time, he believes the adage that says wha

    I BROKE A BANK

    "What? Why? Jordan paid all the bills so why am I not allowed to leave?" Isabella asks, staring at the burly men in confusion."Our general manager instructed us not to let any of you leave until the food and wine on the round table are cleared.""What?" Isabella's jaw drops. "What does he mean by that? How can only two of us finish that quantity of food and wine?""We don't know, Miss, but that is the instruction. Except the food and wines are cleared, you can only remain here.""How ridiculous!" Henry stands and bellows. "I'm the young master of the Maguires, will you two really stop me from leaving?""We only follow instructions, sir. It doesn't matter who you are, so yes.""Fine, wait until I send for my family guards!" Henry glares at them and reaches into his pocket and pulls out his phone.However, before he can do anything with it, the phone is swiftly snatched from him."I'm sorry, sir. But that is not allowed. You can only start eating now or remain here even after the resta

    NOT ALLOWED TO LEAVE

    Henry and Isabella had devised a plan to embarrass Jordan, hoping he would struggle to pay the bills and end up washing plates for a month. However, their scheme took an unexpected turn when Jordan not only paid the bills but did so with an astonishing 2.4 billion, 98 thousand dollars. This isn't 2. 4 million, 98 thousand dollars or 200 million, 98 thousand dollars but 2.4 billion, 98 thousand dollars! Isabella doesn't know what to make of this. The Jordan she divorced days ago was just a penniless man, one she and her family saw as a liability, which resulted to the divorce. How did he become so wealthy in the blink of an eye? Is she dreaming?She pinches herself to be sure before staring back at the screen. Seeing the numbers still blatantly visible on big screen, she can't help but inhale sharply.She was not dreaming. It's actually real. Jordan really paid the bills. He actually forked out 2.4 billion! She freezes.For a while, a heavy silence hangs in the air before the room b

    WHAT?!

    "What is this?" As the waitress accepts the card from Jordan and stares down at it, she asks, her brows furrowed in confusion."Hahaha, Jordan, did you pick up a play card on the floor? When did debit start being gold in color?" Henry jeers, laughing mockingly at him."That you don't know the card, is that what makes it a play card that I picked on the floor?" Jordan scoffs. "Anyways, your reaction is well expected, I would have been even surprised if any of you knew the card because the card is only one in the entire country, specially made for me.""Hah, what is that? Isn't he exaggerating too much?" A diner frowns. "He is just a pauper; how could he have a card that is only one in the country and is specially made for him? In fact, when has it ever been heard that a card was specially made for someone? Even the King of Zephyria might not have such card, who is he to?""He must be playing games with us all! Hah, he has no money and he made such a scene. How infuriating.""Well, I'm

    GOLD CARD

    "Why will I?" Jordan retorts, rolling his eyes. "Please order away! Don't hold back!""Jordan," Natasha, not being able to help it, tugs at his shirt. "They are obviously plotting against you, how can you still ask her to order after Henry has ordered that much? Do you really have the money to pay?"Jordan smiles. "I wasn't joking when I said I could buy this whole restaurant, let alone a few drinks and meals. What are you waiting for? Order yours as well. Also add mine.""Hahaha, Jordan, you seem to have hit the jackpot. Even your character is like one a wealthy man. In that case, I won't be polite neither will I hold back." Isabella turns to the waiter who is still waiting. "I will have this, this, this, this..." Unlike Henry who only placed order for approximately twelve meals and wines, Isabella takes hers up a notch, ordering 20 meals and 20 wines, the meals in the price range of five hundred thousand and the wines in the price range of one million."Ah!" Natasha slams her hand

    PLOTTING AGAINST HIM

    Two days ago or thereabout, Isabella met with Henry Maguire who urged her to invest in Starwood Apparels. However, Jordan came out of nowhere to tell her that doing so would be the greatest mistake she would ever make. He even claimed that the company would soon be destroyed. He had been so confident in his words that she started doubting her decision. If not for Henry that urged to trust him even just that once, that was how she would have been deceived and lost out on a rare opportunity to rise her family back to glory.Now, when Henry asked Jordan what he could say considering how things just turned out, she had expected him to at least be humble and sane enough to apologize for spilling the trash he spilled the last time.Instead of doing that, he began spilling another trash and acting as if he was one celestial god. She is so infuriated and can't help but wonder how it could be possible that they were once married. At this moment, she feels divorcing him has to be the best dec

    SCULPTED PALATE

    "Let's sit here," finding a table close to the window, Jordan says and draws out a chair, gesturing like a perfect gentleman,"Please sit, My Lady."Natasha rolls her eyes and mouths a soft "thank you" before taking her seat."You are always welcome, My Lady," Jordan smiles and walks over to the other side, also taking his seat."Welcome to Sculpted Palate, one of the best restaurants in East Veridora, dear prestigious customers. "Here, we serve all kinds of sumptuous and luxurious meals. Here are our menus for your selections. The price of each meal is attached to it," almost immediately, a beautiful waitress approaches Jordan and Natasha and says with a charming smile.Jordan doesn't bother to accept a menu from the waitress. He says indifferently, "I'll have anything the lady picks."Natasha feels her cheeks reddening at that statement. She quickly takes a menu from the waitress and uses it to cover her face. Simultaneously, she glances over the pages.The next second, a frown res

    "Mr. Callahan, have you found what it is you forgot? What was it though?" As they pass the receptionist's desk, the receptionist, catching a glimpse of Jordan, lifts her gaze and asks."Yes, I have, and it is...," Jordan pauses, a smile tugging at his lips as he glances down at Natasha Natasha beside him."What are you looking at me for?" Natasha turns deeper shades of red. She has to turn her face away him.Jordan chuckles and drawls, "I told the beautiful receptionist that I lost something, which was why I came back to the company, but what she didn't know was that I actually didn't lose something but someone. Now, I've found her and I'm leaving with her.""Aww, that's so sweet," the receptionist whispers. "I've been seeing you guys together a lot. It's a good thing you decided to allow love blossom between you. "You guys look so good together, almost like a match made in heaven!
