Chapter 2 2

Bella Morgan

I walked into the ballroom with my heart beating so fast. I'm more than ready to start my revenge even though I'm a little nervous but I love the thrilling feeling. I walked through the crowd to find my target.

Alan Reyes

He's the one and only son of Rector Reyes. He's currently the one who control Reyes Oil. Rector is still working but he will only interact with important people that he's close with.

I took a glass of champagne and started to listen to the event. I have my eyes roamed around sometimes to look for Alan. When I landed my eyes on my target, I walked slowly as I greeted some people. I was standing alone as I tried to listen to the on-going event.

"You must be Bella Morgan." I turned to see the devil himself standing beside me.

"And you.. must be Alan Reyes." I said as I took a glance at him. Alan Reyes is a definition of a perfect man physically but he is a devil inside. He's evil and good at doing his business.

"My father likes working with you." He said and I sipped my champagne.

"Of course, him working with me is like taking a big step to his goal." I said arrogantly and I heard him chuckling on the side.

"That's true though but he just let me take over our project." He said as he whispered near my ear and I turned to him smirking.

"My close friend just opened up a casino near here, wanna ditch the event and go there?" Alan asked and I let out a small laugh.

"Casino?"

"I think you're the type who can play poker." He said and I sipped on my champagne thinking whether I should go or not.

"Maybe next time, I have somewhere to be."

"How about we grab a drink at the bar next to this ballroom?" He's not giving up huh? This will be fun.

"Very well." I said and he put his hand in front of me. I took it and I felt something when our skin touched. I tried to ignore it and walked with him out of the ballroom. He led me to a small luxury bar next to the ballroom.

"My treat for today." He said and I smiled nodding letting him take control for today. He pulled a chair for me and I sat down. He sat beside me as we're facing the bartender.

"Let me order it for you." He offered and I gestured to him to do so. He ordered two strong drinks for the both of us and I put my small clutch on the chair beside me.

"Have you read the contract yet?"

"Yeah." I answered when I already ripped that contract into pieces.

"What do you think?" He asked curiously as I pulled my hair to the opposite site. I knew he's currently looking and checking me out.

"I think we should talk about it more, we should arrange a meeting."

"Sure, I'll set up a meeting schedule for us." I turned to him and he looked at me straight into my eyes.

"I heard that's you love sports car."

"I wonder who told you that.." I smiled and at the same time, the bartender gave us our drinks. I took a sip and it was quite strong.

"I have my sources."

"I was wondering if you want to go to a sports car exhibition on Friday." I said and his eyes widened.

"I would love to." He said and I raised my glass. We both cheered without drinks and took a sip of it.

"Nice order, Mr. Reyes."

"You can call me Alan." He said as I put down my drink.

"You often come here?" I asked as I looked around the bar.

"My friend owns this place so I often come here to meet him." I bit my lips trying to control myself from trying to kill whoever has Reyes as their last name. Being with Alan right now really tests my patience.

"Did I tell you that you look so beautiful tonight?" He said in a seductive tone. I turned to him and smirked as I slowly leaned closer to him.

"Really?" I whispered and his eyes started to roam around my body. I can feel that he wanted to get laid so badly and I shall give it to him.

"Are you a good drinker?" I asked and his eyes went back to mine.

"Yes, how about you?"

"Not so much. Maybe.. around 2 glasses." I said as I looked at my drink. I finished it in one shot and asked the bartender for more.

"I thought your alcohol tolerance is high." It is high but I will play the drama card tonight. I chuckled after he said that and I shook my head. I turned to him and put my hand on his suit collar.

"Your father mentioned you a lot, he must be so proud of you." I said as I slowly looked into his eyes.

"He wanted me to take over the company quickly at such a young age."

"Ah.. you still want to enjoy your bachelor life right?" I smirked and he chuckled nodding.

"Here you go, miss." I grabbed my second glass of alcohol.

"Bachelor life is fun, don't you think?"

"That's true." I nodded and took big sip of the new drink.

"Hey.. slow down." Alan said as he took away my drink.

"Today is my birthday." I said as I started to pretend to be a little tipsy.

"Happy birthday then." He said simply as he put a couple strands of my hair back to my ear. I bit my lips and looked at him.

"Thank you, Alan." I said as I took my drink from his hand drinking it all at once. I put it down and chuckled.

"Why aren't you drinking?" I asked and he immediately took a sip of his drink. He turned his body fully to me and slowly leaned his face to me.

"How about I make your birthday today.. more memorable?" He asked and I smiled looking at him. I bit my lips and nodded to him.

"Let's go." He grabbed my hand and brought me out from the bar.
