"Oh, Young Master Taylor, what you've said is too much. I'm not that pretty!” Xena pretended to be modest and picked up some food before putting it on Ivan's plate. “Come, let's eat!"
"Haha, sure!" Ivan laughed and they started eating.
After a while, Ivan said again, "Miss Xena, I’ve fallen in love with you at first sight. I've been thinking about you for the past few days and I'm so lucky to have bumped into you today. I had to muster my courage to invite you for dinner!"
"How's that possible?" Xena frowned and looked at Ivan before saying, "Young Master Taylor, are you being serious?"
"Don't you worry, I am!" Taylor placed one of his hands on Xena's thigh again before saying with a smile," From today onwards, I’ll give you whatever you want. You would also give me everything I want, right? I believe that you don't really like Ben, right?”
"Young Master Taylor, you're right. I've fallen out of love for Ben since long ago. If he wasn't so nice to me, I really want to break up with him!"
Xena was afraid that she would miss this opportunity. She stopped pushing Ivan's hand away, pretending as i f nothing happened.
Ivan had a cold smile inwardly when he heard this.
However, he directly held her hand, "Xena, be my woman. I have no idea if it's because of the wine today. I haven't had much but I feel drunk. I want you. How about this, why don't you accompany me to rest i n a room upstairs and later, I'll bring you out to buy some branded handbags and clothes. You can choose whatever you have your eyes on. What do you say?”
Xena immediately pretended to be reserved and said," This-this doesn't sound like a good idea, Young
Master Taylor. Although I don't like Ben, we haven't broken up. Apart from that, who knows but you might be lying to me. I've just known you for a while and although I have some feelings for you, but, it doesn't sound so good to go into a hotel room, right?"
"Hey, what's so bad about it? You must have misunderstood me?" Ivan immediately said with a smile, "It's best that you have feelings for me. I’m asking you to follow me because I would like for you t o accompany me while I rest and have a chat with me. I'm not asking you to do anything, right? Don't you worry, I'm not that kind of person!”
"I guess it would be fine if it's only sitting down and resting!" Xena blushed and was shy. She clearly knew that if she really followed him upstairs, it wouldn't be a s simple as taking a rest.
After they finished eating, they quickly got a room and walked into the room.
"Xena, I really want to be with you, but, you cannot break up with Ben yet. You have to remain with him s o that we can get information about Selena and Fane! Don’t you worry. As long as you help me with this and tell me what I want to know, you will surely benefit from it!" Ivan said to Xena, who was in front of him, after he closed the door.
"Haha, I thought that you really liked me. In the end, you are only taking advantage of me. You want to stabilize your position in the Taylor family and get rid of your threat, Selena, right?" Xena laughed and she finally realized that Ivan wanted to use her for something.
"How can you call this taking advantage of you? From today onwards, you will be my girlfriend, my woman. Isn't it normal for my woman to do something for me?"
Ivan smiled and actually pulled Xena over to him before pouncing on her as they landed on the bed.
"Let go of me!” Xena was startled and started struggling.
