By the time Santiago woke up, it was already dark outside. He opened his eyes and remained on the bed for a while. He flipped over to find that Raeleigh was sleeping on Deanna's bed. Scarlette was a little worried, so she kept an eye on them from her bed.
To Scarlette, Santiago was a devil, a devil who liked to order people around to do his bidding.
Scarlette rarely got annoyed at people ever since she was young, but she was annoyed with Santiago.
When she realized that Santigo was finally awake, she hurriedly said, "I've already eaten the popsicle that you asked me to buy. If you like, I can go out and get you some."
Santiago looked out of the window and said, "There's no need for that. I'll bring you ladies out for dinner later."
"It's already dark outside. Isn't it a little late for us to go out for dinner?" Scarlette was a little worried. Jepherson still had not called to check up on them, so she did not know what to do.
But then again, Scarlette did not dare to wake Santiago up.
"No, it's not too late," Santiago said as he lay on the bed. Soon, Raeleigh began to stir and wake up.
When Santiago realized that Raeleigh was awake, only then did he sit up on the bed.
"Raeleigh, get up. Let's go out and have dinner." Santiago stood up from the bed and walked straight to the door.
Raeleigh said to Scarlette, "I think I will pass. You guys can go ahead without me."
"Raeleigh, you'd better come with us. There is nothing that Santiago can't do. If he wants to cause trouble, then I'm sure he will kill you."
Scarlette was afraid of Santiago. She was like a mouse confronted with a cat. She was instinctively afraid of him, afraid to the bones.
After thinking for a while, Raeleigh got up from the bed, put on her clothes, and walked out the door with Scarlette.
There was no one at the door. Raeleigh looked around and was pulled away by Scarlette. She explained, "There are so many people here. Santiago prefers quiet places. Let's go out and take a look."
Surely enough, Santiago was waiting outside the dormitory building. He was looking up at the sky with his hands in his pockets. Under the
moonlight, Santiago did not seem human at all.
His shirt was worn casually. His stance was very relaxed, and his overall appearance made it seem like he was some sort of gangster.
Raeleigh cast a glance at Scarlette. Jepherson had a noble and elegant appearance. Why was Santiago the total opposite of him? Why did he look like a wicked man?
Scarlette dragged Raeleigh to face Santiago. Santiago briefly looked at both of them, and they then walked towards the direction of the university entrance.
The dormitory was located quite a distance away from the main entrance. It took them half an hour to get there.
While they were walking, Raeleigh suddenly received a phone call from Jepherson. She trailed behind Scarlette and Santiago while talking on the phone.
As they made their way to the entrance, they would occasionally bump into some of the classmates. They were surprised to see Raeleigh with such a handsome man like Santiago.
Once they exited the campus, Santiago stood there for a while. There wasn't any car nor anyone around.
He looked at the time. Then, when he saw a taxi
driving towards their direction, he casually hailed
the taxi over. He opened the back door, looked at
Raeleigh, and said, "Get in."
Raeleigh ended the call and got into the car. She thought she would be sitting in the back with Scarlette. However, Santiago got in the back with her while Scarlette sat in front.
The taxi driver then started the car and made his way to the destination that Santiago had mentioned. Once they arrived at the place, they got out of the car and made their way into the restaurant.
When they entered the door, people started fawning over Santiago. They could not believe that such an attractive man actually existed in this world.
Was he human?
The manager was also shocked when he saw Santiago. He hurriedly led them inside.
"Mr. Santiago."
"Hi, this is my girlfriend." Santiago raised his chin and pointed at Raeleigh. The manager looked at Raeleigh carefully and greeted her, "Nice to meet you."
Raeleigh did not say anything and just remained still. As soon as they arrived at their table, Santiago pulled out a chair and said, "Have a
seat."
