Chapter 200: A DATE? NO WAY!

Dove’s heart was racing, as she sighed, before stepping out of the car. She walked towards her office, followed by Dante behind her as usual.

While on the way, all that was going on in her mind was how to speak to Dante. Dove had already made up her mind that she would tell Dante today that she no longer needed his protection now. And that he could go back to his normal life, and did not have to follow her everywhere.

It was this simple words that needed to be spoken. But she did not know why she was feeling so nervous. Why did her palms have to sweat like this!

Oh Dove! What has gotten on to you!

Meanwhile, Dante who was following behind Dove was observing her closely. It was hard not to, especially when she was rubbing her sweaty hands again and again on hhler skirt.

And after running a business for so long, and handling every other type of people, Dante could tell from his experience that right now this woman was very nervous or stressed about something.

He already had a feeling about it. But now he was a hundred percent sure.

Dante decided he would confront her and ask her about it, when they reached her office.

But well, how could it be so easy.

Before reaching her cabin, they met Grace, who greeted Dove, and Dove asked her about something. Grace reported about the matter to her, and after getting some orders went on to follow it.

And then when they entered the cabin, Dante when he was about to speak, he saw Dove turn towards him. It appeared as if she was going to say something to him. But just then her phone rang.

And the man cursed it in his heart. He has already been so restless since the last couple of days, feeling that something is going wrong.

And now, when they were about to speak, that god-damn phone had to ring.

Dove froze for a moment, her eyes involuntary meeting Dante’s, before her hand tightened around the phone.

Then as if she came to a conclusion, she reached to answer the call, and put it near her ears. "Hello." It was Liam Harris.

In this short time, Dove had already forgotten that Liam had asked if he could call, and Dove told him to do so after ten or fifteen minutes. The time was up sp fast?

Dante observed Dove with a frown on his forehead, specially when he heard a man’s voice through the phone. Though, the call was not on speaker, it was loud enough for Dante to listen and get it, as he was standing close enough.

Dove turned around and entered her office, to her chair, to resume her everyday work, and Dante followed very close. His senses already heightened after hearing the male voice.

On the other side, Liam was holding a couch pillow in his hand, so tight that his knuckles turned white. He was nervous!

When he was talking to Dove over text a while ago, he was very excited. But now that they were talking over the phone, he was nervous to the core of his bones.

"Hii. Are you free now?" He said, trying to sound charmingly casual, and not like the nervous mess that he was.

Liam bit his lower lip afraid that he was mess something up, and not appear charming enough, while talking the woman of his dreams. And that was ironic because he was apparently crowned the most charming male actor in the industry.

Dove sat on her chair behind the desk, and answered normally, "Yes. It is fine. So what were you saying Mr Harris?"

But as soon as she looked up, she was taken aback, when she saw Dante sitting directly next to her chair, pulling a chair there.

She instantly covered the microphone with her hands, and whisper- shouted, "What are you doing here?!"

Dante’s already bad mood hit the rock bottom, as he stared at her with a dark expression and replied monotonously, "Guarding you."

Black dots appeared on top of Dove’s head, as her lips drew in a straight line. He could just get on top of her now, at the pretext of guarding her! What’s the point of sitting so close like a ghost all of a sudden.

She just rolled her eyes, decided to let go of it now, and listened to what Liam was saying, "Miss Dove, I was thinking if we could just decide on the date and time when we could meet for the date. You know, the kind of pack schedules we normally have. So I want to just make a good time for us to know each other properly."

Dante who was listening very intently, so much so that his ears were about to turn into that of an elephant’s, suddenly froze like a stone in his seat.

His ears started ringing with the words, "Get to know each other well."

Suddenly, he started feeling his head spin, almost like he was about to faint. What the actual heck! Was his brain playing tricks with him?

Dove was actually talking to a guy about them going on a DATE!

Dante scoffed mockingly in his heart, not daring to believe it. This has to be a pathetic joke! But he heard it from his own ears, didn’t he?!

Dante could feel something unbearable weighing down on his heart, squishing it into a painful puddle. He felt like someone had just yanked a hand into his chest and tore his heart away.

Next he vaguely heard her fixing a time the next day, for them to meet for the date!

He stared at her with red teary eyes, and just when Dove had just ended the call, and looked at him, he yanked the phone away from her, before holding her wrist in hsj fist, as the stood up.

"What the hell was that, Dove!?" He uttered each syllable with his teeth gritted.
