Lucian Lumière...
It was as if something was triggered when Aisha heard his name. She was frozen in her position, her eyes widen as memories came.
"Do you still need something?" Lucian turns to Skyler, and subtly asked him to leave.
Skyler blinked a couple of times, is he... asking me to leave? Skyler had always accompanied his Boss when meeting with someone who is within the big famiglias under them, especially with a woman because Lucian is... rather repulsive when it comes to women.
Moreover, whenever they are meeting with an outsider, Skyler was the one who usually shows up in his behalf, so what could be different now?
Skyler's eyes intinctually stare at Aisha and made a conclusion in his heart.
This Boss of mine, Skyler's eyes twitched. Not only he released an order that no famiglia must dare to go against the De La Torre famiglia, but he even accept Aisha's invitation over negotiation, and if Skyler is correct, his Boss will give whatever Aisha will wish.
Skyler would smack the living daylight out of Reid's head if he critisize Boss' EQ when it comes to chasing girls again.
The way Lucian woos Aisha is extraordinary.
"Go now, those three back at the manor might start fighting again."
Skyler didn't know whether to cry or laugh at his predicament. He feels like the biggest light bulb[1] and Boss wants to get rid of him to have an alone time with Aisha.
Skyler could only face Aisha as he bows slightly towards her. "I'll be going now Ms. De La Torre." Please enjoy your date with my Boss, Skyler was tempted to say the last statement but decided against it.
He didn't want to end up like Reid or Noel's four months ago. Noel has experienced worse than Reid.
Aisha was still drowning in her childhood memories when she hears Skyler voice. Snapping back into the reality, Aisha nodded at him. At least she wasn't going to make reasons to make Skyler leave the room.
"Shall we?" Lucian gestured to the seat and Aisha nodded at him before seating again.
Aisha didn't bother to remove her trench coat as she feels the temperature dropped when this man came, she didn't tie and buttoned it, showing her smooth milky collarbone and a glimpse of her cleavage.
She look at the manager and his crew, and raised her brow at them.
The manager immediately realize what Aisha was insinuating and with trembling hands, he gave Lucian a menu.
"I don't know if you have eaten yet but feel free to order anything," Aisha said and then turns towards one of the waitor. "We'll have an another bottle of what I have earlier."
The waiter was shocked, not because Aisha dared to order an approximately over $2000 tequila again, but because this is already Aisha's fifth bottle.
Lucian narrowed his eyes at Aisha, and then to the empty tequila bottle on the table. Guessing from the expression of the waiter and the empty bottle, Lucian realized that Aisha had too much alcohol.
She was probably drinking while waiting for him. Now Lucian regrets making her wait for hours despite being in an another VIP room below.
Who could blame him though? He was nervous meeting her again.
"We'll have red wine instead," Lucian told the waiter. "Have you eaten yet?"
Aisha knitted her brows but didn't oppose to him and turns to the waiter. "We'll have red wine. No, I haven't." Aisha told the last sentence to Lucian.
Now it was Lucian's turn to frown, however it didn't show that much because of the mask he is wearing. He orders most of the food in the menu, making Aisha raised her right brow.
Well, he is a guy, after all.
The staffs are quick to serve the dishes and left the two "monsters" alone. They felt like they are in hell and these two will give them their final judgement.
"Eat." Lucian gestures for the food and while his tone is demanding, it was soft and gentle like he was talking to a stubborn kid who refuses to eat vegetables.
To Aisha, however, he sounded a little Bossy and that irk Aisha a little.
"Thanks for the offer, Mr. Lumière but I'm not yet hungry."
"Uhuh." Lucian made a gesture that he doesn't believe her at all. "If you refuse to eat then it is safe to assume that there is poison in these foods."
Then don't eat, Aisha gritted her teeth behind her lips. But then she needed his DNA and test it if it matches Aeron's.
Although, does she still really need it? Both him and Aeron gave her the same vibes and feelings. From his muscular body to the color of his eyes. Both men screams familiarity. Although Lucian's eye color is a little bit lighter than Aeron's deep blue eyes, but they have the same effect on Aisha --- like she was being suck into the depths of their eyes.
But Aisha still wanted to make sure.
Aisha grabbed the cheesecake knife, and slice it through the Chocolate-Topped Strawberry Cheesecake, successfully getting some of the whipped cream and sliced fresh strawberry. It was her favorite food when she was little, and it had been 20 years since she last ate one.
"Is something the matter? Do you not like it?" Lucian asked when Aisha stared at the dessert with an indescribable expression.
Aisha blinks to get rid of the once happy memories but now was a memory that tormented her.
"No, it just brings back memories from my childhood."
"Aisha De La Torre's childhood, huh," Lucian mumbles as he took a sip from his Cabernet[2] glass. "I would like to know a few about the De La Torre's Queen's childhood."
Aisha took a deep breath and conceal the sudden burst of anger in her heart. Her childhood is her nightmare, and will do anything to forget about that nightmare. Sadly, it was already etched in herself and will have to deal with it for the rest of her life.
"It will be good if Mr. Lumière will not probe into my childhood. Also, I guess it wasn't a secret that I had killed my mother in my younger years."
Lucian nodded in understanding and realize that he might offended her. "Then may I ask Ms. Aisha here to just call me Lucian, "Mr. Lumière" is too formal."
Aisha had no problem calling him in his first name, but that name really remembers her of the little boy she met in her mother's hometown.
"Lucian." Aisha forces the name out of her lips. She grab her own Cabernet and took a sip of the red wine.
Lucian cocked his head to the side and stare at Aisha. The way she said his name seems cold and distant.
"Do you hate my name that much?"
