Chapter 0363
I hate doing this to him.
"We'll talk more when I get home. Goodbye."
Beep. Beep. Beep.
The line goes dead.
I turn to Alpha Reagan.
"You have to fix this."
"You can't ask me to do that. That young man sounded very pissed, there's no way I'm going ahead to resolve this issue. He's going to give me a proper scolding and I don't like getting scolded. I could cry." He blabbers and I watch him with my eyeballs stretched open to their limit. What?
What the hell did he just say?
"Excuse me, are you high?"
"I am not high!"
I sigh in disbelief, shaking my head. This man truly loses his mind when he's in my presence.
"Since you've refused to resolve this issue for fear of getting scolded, I'll do it myself. But just so you know, the next time you stand before me and try to..."
Another interruption by my cell phone again. It's still in my hand so I check the caller ID.
A heavy sigh of relief leaves my chest when I see that it isn't Ryan calling again.
"Hello." I greet after swiping the answer icon and pressing the phone against my ear.
"Ashanti?" The person on the other end of the call asks, it's a masculine voice and it sounds very familiar.
I heard that voice today and it was at the Fashion and Design hall.
Léonard Kirk.
It's no one else but him.
"Yes, it's Ashanti."
“Great. Ashanti, it's me, Leonard. How are you doing?"
"I'm doing okay, thank you. And you?"
"Never been better. I noticed you left the hall already." My face breaks into a wide smile. Alpha Reagan on the other hand, starts frowning and the look on his face tells me he wants to know who I'm speaking with.
Right now!
"Oh, yeah. I left a while ago."
"That's rather sad. I was hoping to see you again."
"Oh..."
"Anyway, that doesn't mean I can't see you again. What do you say about me taking you out for dinner tonight?" He asks sweetly and I don't know why, but my eyes flicker to Alpha Reagan and yes... he heard it.
His brows are nearly touching his hairline and he has this wild look in his eyes that would have scared me if I didn't know him too well.
He looks like he wants to set something on fire.
"Who's that?" He mouths the question. I ignore him.
"You want to take me out to dinner tonight?"
"If you'd permit me to?" Leonard answers over the phone.
Alpha Reagan starts shaking his head in denial with his eyes wide open.
"Tell him no!" He mouths yet again, this time around, accompanied with hand gestures.
"I'd love for you to take me out to dinner, Leonard."
"Great! What time is good for you?"
"Say... six pm!"
"Perfect! I'll make a reservation right now and come pick you up by five-thirty. Are you okay with that plan?"
"It's perfect. Thank you."

"No. I should be thanking you for accepting to go out on a date with me. It's an honour." My cheeks heat up as a heated blush spreads on my cheeks.
He's sweet, okay?
And Alpha Reagan is losing his cool.
"You're too kind."
"I look forward to spending this evening with you, Ash. See you at five thirty."
"Yeah. See you."
He hangs up.
I dare not look at Alpha Reagan's face. We've arrived at my house and the car has stopped in the driveway.
"Who was that?" He asks sharply. I turn to him.
"None of your business."
He lets out a frustrated sigh.
"Why is he taking you out for dinner?"All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

"He even called you "Ash". Why?"
"Because it's short for Ashanti."
"No one calls you Ash, except me.” He sounds like he's about to cry and it hurts me to do this to him, but I have to.
"Don't be such a baby. Anyone can
call me Ash." I unlock the car door and push
dit open. "I have to go
and
before it's time for my date."
“Ashanti you've still not told me who's ta..."

"Thank you very much for the ride." I cut him off with a dry smile on my lips. “Have a nice day.”
With that, I step out of the car and the moment I close the door behind me, a triumphant smile forms on my face.
Who got the last laugh?
