Purple Romance

Chapter 283: Learn to keep your hands of another man's woman 2

''Huh?'' Paula was confused. When did the subject change so suddenly? 'What do you mean?''

''I received your resume and I am here to personally scout you for my hotel'' Andy explained.

''That fast?'' Paula asked.

''Let's say I was waiting for an opportunity and took it'' he smiled and sipped his juice.

As they were chatting, a man ran into the caf and went towards Paula. He stopped in front of them and panted for breath as he called her.

''Paula, Paula. I finally found you'' he said.

''Gideon? What are you doing here?'' Paula asked.

''Paula, I need to explain something to you'' he said and held her hand, pulling her up. he looked desperate with his actions.

''Stop'' Andy said and pulled Paula back, standing up to face Gideon, 'what do you think you are doing?'' he asked him.

''I know you still love me Paula and I'm not giving up on you'' Gideon said and attempted to hold Paula's hand again but Andy flunk his hand away and stepped between them.

''Learn how to keep your hands away from another man's woman'' Andy said and Lisa who was about to butt in stopped at a distance.

The scene made her smiled. Her darling has finally found someone worth it after all. She couldn't hide the excitement in her eyes as she watched the show.

''She is not your woman? She still loves me'' Gideon insisted. They have been together for so long. He didn't believe that she could love someone in a short time. Besides, she loved him and wanted to marry him. She couldn't love another person so soon.

''I think you still don't understand the situation here, Gideon? This woman here, is mine. She belongs to me'' Andy said with a serious expression.

Paula blushed looking at him. Her heartbeat increased as she stared at him.

''What shows? Because I know Paula doesn't pick random guys as her boyfriend, I am her first and last love. Ask her if she can really forget about me?'' Gideon said boldly and Paula chuckled.

''Hey!! Can you just shut up already? Listen to me, Gideon. In case you didn't know, I forgot about you the moment you left and I don't love you anymore so I suggest you go back to your rich girlfriend and leave me alone''

''Is he really your new boyfriend?'' Gideon looked at Andy.

''Isn't it obvious?''

''No, it is your lie that is so obvious Paula. I know you and I know it when you're trying to lie to me'' he couldn't believe she was able to move on quickly from him.

''What?''

''You are a conservative person. We've been together for three years and I know you very well, more than anyone else. I'm sure you two haven't even got further apart from holding hands. As long as you haven't kissed him yet, it is alright. Just come back to me now''

''You? How dare you?'' Paula felt disgusted by him.

''But, we've kissed before'' Andy said and looked at Gideon calmly.

''What?'' Lisa screamed.

''Huh?'' Paula looked at him confused.

''What?'' Gideon couldn't believe what he heard.

In all, everyone had different reactions except Andy who still looked rather calm as he held unto Paula's hand.

''When did I kiss you?'' Paula asked and flushed.

''Ha, I was right. You were lying. Paula doesn't even remember when you two ever kissed'' Gideon chuckled.

''No, you are wrong. We did kiss. Maybe you will remember the feeling of my lips once we do it again'' he said and circled his arm around her waist.

''Huh?'' Paula's eyes opened wide as she watched him kiss her. He was gentle and didn't go deeper, but she felt it. She somewhat remembered it. Her face flushed and her ears and cheeks.

Lisa cussed ''fuck me!!!'' she chuckled.

''You stop'' Gideon shouted and Lisa hit his head with a frying spatula that she was holding.

''Shut up'' she said to him and turned to look at Andy and Paula who were looking at each other after their kiss.

''You'' Paula blushed.

''Do you remember now? That night, you took advantage of me?'' he asked and she flushed.

''I didn't'' Paula looked away.

Someone walked over and pushed them apart and screamed, ''what is going on here?'' Betty asked and looked at them. She had asked the coffee owner about Lisa and was given the address and she wanted to check it out only to arrive and meet this type of scene. She was infuriated.

''Lisa, I will be using your car'' Paula said and turned away, walking out of the caf.

''Andy, what was that all about?'' Betty asked again but Andy wasn't looking at her. He was equally flustered by his own actions. He stood there staring at Paula as she walked out of the caf.

''Are you blind? Didn't you see what just happened?'' Lisa cocked her brows and looked smugly at Betty, ''are you blind or are you simply refusing to see?'' she added.

''Excuse me'' Andy said and ran out. He got into his car and drove after Paula who had taken Lisa's car.

''Andy, wait'' Betty turned to go and Lisa placed her leg on the way and she tripped and fell into Gideon's arms. 'Ah'' she screamed.

''Oops, you two seemed to belong together. My legs have a mind of their own too''

''You?'' Betty steadied herself and glared at Lisa.

''Leave if you are done. I'm about to close the caf'' Lisa smirked and walked away.

Betty and Gideon looked at each other and walked away.

...

Paula pulled over and ran into the apartment when Andy also arrived. He pulled over and ran to the door and tried to open it and it was locked.

''Paula, open up please'' Andy said and his phone buzzed. When he took it out and, he saw his father's incoming call and sighed before answering. ''Hello, I will be there soon'' he said and hung up.

''Paula, I have to go but I will call you later'' he said before turning to go away.

After a while, Paula opened the door and looked at the car going further away. She touched her lips and her face flushed.

''Paula, you are done for. You like him'' she murmured to herself.

Andy went straight to the balcony where his father was after he arrived. He saw pictures of him and Paula on the table and frowned.

''Father, I am here'' he said to the old man who looked angry.

''What is the meaning of this and who is this girl that you openly flirt with when you have so many matters to solve at the company?''

''You have never been interested in my personal life for the past ten years, why are you suddenly putting a tail on me?''

''That's because you haven't misbehaved in the last ten years after that woman dumped you. who is this lady? I saw her at the tour. Did she follow you there to seduce you?''

''Paula is not someone like that. she is my friend and I am the only one who has feelings for her. I am the one flirting with her''

'This is not good for your image as the heir of SENORA and you know it. What will our partners and shareholders say if they see this? I want you to stop seeing that girl''

''More than being interested in what kind of woman I date, they should be concern with what I use their money for and I am doing a good job at making more money for them. Father, she is my friend and I am going to stop seeing her just because someone doesn't like to see us together''

''Do you like her that much? Listen to me son, the presence of that girl in your life is going to bring you bad luck. Andy why don't you live the life I have designed for you? Betty is a wonderful girl and she will make a perfect wife''

''Betty will never be nothing more than a sister to me and also the kind of life you designed me includes you being control over my life which I won't accept. You have control over the matters of the company but not over my life''

''Is this your way of rebelling against me? do you still blame me for what happened that year? I only tested her love for you and she failed to live up to it. You saw it for yourself''

''That's enough. I will let you control the company because is yours but I won't let you control my life. Let me live the life I want and also, Paula needs me and I won't stop been her friend. You should stop feeding Betty with false hopes, she and I will never be together''

''Why are you behaving like your brother?''

''Leslie has nothing to do with this. Don't bring him into this please''

''Andy, I know what is good for you. That woman is not good for you. She is not even your class''

''Is Betty my class then? I don't look at such things. What I see in Paula is something no one else sees and I love that she is different. She makes me happy. I have never been happy in the last ten years until I met her and I am not going to let her go. don't also go to her'' Andy said and walked away.

Mr. Bassey sighed and took the pictures and looked at them.
