A NIGHT WITH THE CRAZY CEO

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE

**MANUEL**

Adrian parked the car and we both alighted. We started hearing whispers from the mouths of the people lingering around the premises.

“Aren’t those Manuel Collins and Adrian Carter?” I heard someone whisper, not so quietly.

“Wow! They look so handsome!!!”

“This is the first time I’m seeing them in real life and they both look so hot. What are they doing here tho?” One asked her friend whisperingly.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

“This is a public restaurant and don’t you know that Adrian Carter owns this place?” Her friend answered her.

I smirked as I listened to the different comments coming from the mouths of various people as we walked into the restaurant. Adrian looked unaffected by these comments and compliments.

We got inside and sat at a table that was a little far away from the others. We sat in silence for a few moments before a cute waitress came to attend to us.

“Hello, I’m Patricia and I’ll be your server this afternoon. What would you guys like to have?” The waitress asked smiling widely. She looked so beautiful with lips that I wanted to kiss badly.

“Hmm, I’m in the mood to eat pizza. A pizza you that is!.” I flirted and her face turned to a bright shade of red. Adrian just kept quiet and was looking at the both of us.

“I don’t have time for this. As you can see that I’m at work. If my boss catches me with you, I’ll get fired immediately so seriously now, what would you guys like to have.” She asked seriously but I could tell that she was affected by my flirtatious comment. She must be new because she doesn’t know who Adrian is. It’s not her fault because Adrian doesn’t really go to his restaurants.

“I think I’ll have seafood pizza. It’s been quite long since I ate anything that has seafood in it and you can still give me a pizza you if you like. What about you Adrian?” I asked facing him and he shook his head.

“I’m not really here to eat but I’ll have seafood pizza too. Make sure to top it with Pinot Grigio wine.” Adrian stated.

“Okay then. Make the pizza large size.” I ordered and she wrote it in the order pad before going to the direction of the kitchen. Adrian and I talked about irrelevant things before Patricia came back with what we ordered for. She placed the pizza on the table and poured the wine into two glass cups for us.

I winked at her as she finished setting what we ordered on the table and she blushed and Adrian eyed me. We began eating right after she left. I took occasional sips out of my glass of wine. I was eating the third slice of pizza while Adrian was still chewing a slice slowly. By the time I was done eating, I had ate five slices while Adrian ate three. I drank the remaining wine, wiped my hand across my mouth then belched loudly. I patted my stomach because I was full and I can’t even eat anything again today except if I wanna burst. Adrian stared at me in disgust when he heard me belch.

“Seriously Manuel?! Don’t you have manners?” He asked irritatedly.

“I lost my manners a very long time ago.” I replied nonchalantly.

“I know surely that aunt taught you better than this, she must have taught you that it’s a bad habit to belch in front of someone but you just chose not to learn. I can’t believe I’ve been friends with a pig all my life.” He grumbled.

“You love me like that.” I said grinning widely and he rolled his eyes.

“You know what? I’m done having this meaningless conversation with you. I wanna go see the manager and I don’t want you sitting here. Go to the car and wait for me there, I don’t want you flirting with the waitresses because I could see how you were flirting with Patricia.” He stated sternly and I groaned loudly.

“Why are you acting as if you’re my father? I’m 27 years old yunno and have you forgotten that we’re age mates?”

“Oh, we’re age mates but I’m obviously more mature, smarter and have far more manners than you do go sit in the car.” He ordered looking me dead in the eyes and I stood up roughly.

The chair and table scraped against the floor loudly causing a few heads to turn to stare at me. I ignored their looks and stomped out of the restaurant angrily. I didn’t look at where I was going and in the process, someone bumped into me or should I say we bumped into each other and the things the person was holding scattered all over the floor. I looked up at the person that bumped into me with angry eyes. I momentarily forgot about my anger when I saw the goddess in front of me. She was far more beautiful than the waitress back at the restaurant. My eyes trailed from her face to her body, she’s got a perfect body that I wish to caress every part of her body. I was so lost in staring at the goddess that I didn’t know that I was drooling. I only snapped out of it when someone began waving their hand in front of my face.

“Dude! Are you blind, deaf and dumb?!” The goddess snapped angrily but I was too speechless to give her a reply.

“Fool, you just bumped into me and broke the screen of my phone and it’s not even switching on again.” She screamed.

“I didn’t bump into you, you were the one that bumped into me.” I said when I finally found my voice.

“I don’t care about that but all I know is that you broke my phone and you’ve gotta buy me a new one.” She shouted.

“Hey goddess! Calm the fuck down, you’re attracting unwanted attention to us. It could ruin my reputation if the press finds out that a lady is shouting at me in public, they’ll think it’s something serious that happened.” I said when I noticed that people were beginning to stare at us and she calmed down a little.

“Well, I don’t care about that. You look rich so you’re going to have to buy me a new phone.” She said looking very serious.

“How am I sure that your phone didn’t fall before I bumped into you? That you’re not just doing this so I can buy you a phone?” I asked smirking.

“Why would I do that? I’m not a gold digger dude.” She snapped.

“Okay, whatever! If I promise to buy you a new phone, will you stop attracting unnecessary attention to us?”

“Yeah, and you have to buy the phone for me right now.”

“Right now? I’m waiting for someone and we came in the same car and I can’t leave without informing the person, he’ll be worried.”

“I don’t give a fuck about that. Just get me my phone!” She yelled.

“Fine! Just calm your fucking tits! I’m taking you to a freaking store now if that will make you shut the hell up.” I snapped and she smirked.

“Now you’re making sense.” She said and I sighed. I’ll just call Adrian and tell him that I’ve left with his car. He’ll just have to take a cab. Thank God he forgot to lock his car.
