This chapter is dedicated to @Ayomideodukoya for the idea I used for this chapter. Thanks.

Alex  joy and happiness to finally get Diana to go out with him again was only but for a few moment as his father called him over the next morning to the house to see him he had said over the phone. Only when got there did he know that the meeting was only to tell him to meet with Natasha Cordell to seal a business deal with her father's company and have dinner afterwards. Apparently his father knew that he could have refused to meet with her if he had mentioned such on a mere phone call hence the call over. His father had his way of persuading people to do things in his way. Its no surprise why he had been greatly successful in his business dealings over the years.

Alex knew he should not have given up to his father's strong  persuasion given the fact that he was starting something new with Diana, he wanted everything between them to be smooth and undisrupted as he was starting to feel something deep for her. He must admit he hasn't felt that way towards the opposite sex in ages.

At first he wasn't bothered He wasn't concerned, but then when his father mentioned that he was to treat her well and keep an open mind when he met with her.

So when his father had told him to meet up with Natasha he bothered as hell that his father was putting his plan into play, for him to marry his friend's daughter. What his father doesn't know was that him and Natasha can never happen. He would not get married to someone he doesn't love.

Now sitting in one of the luxurious restaurant in the area he waited for Natasha to show up with the documents that needs to be signed. He couldn't but wondered why his father had picked such an open and exclusive spot to meet her, they could have just signed the documents over at the office just fine and then he remembered his father words that it would be more convenient and easier to seal the business in the restaurant and have dinner afterwards, which he now saw reason into now.

Alex looked around the restaurant, he saw that it was really a  nice place to be with the expertise design and arrangements all over it.  One could say that the restaurant displayed luxury and furnishing gratification to the senses. It was of high standards.

  It was his first time there, he could see couples having the time of their lifes enjoying each others company, which brought him to the conclusion that he had to bring Diana here one of these days. He looked down on his Rolex wristwatch to check the time as it seem as if she was running late and he had started to feel inpatient.

Just as he raised his head to take in his surrounding once more he noticed two pair of high heeled leg working towards him. Which made him look right up to see who it was.

And right before him stood Natasha Cordell in all her mighty glory and she was exceptionally gorgeous. She was dressed in a red dress that stopped right above her kneel, the dress was up of glittering material which made her stand out. Her face was perfectly shaped and made-up beautifully. She was cool, beautiful and elegant. She was aristocratic and expensive right from her head to her black high heel.

"Hi, am Natasha Cordell. I believe you are Mr Alexander Tanner CEO of Boukjay's company" she introduced herself, stretching her hands to shake hands with Alex.

"Yeah, am Alexander but please call me Alex" he replied as he stood up to welcome her stretching his hands to shake hands with her

"Please Sit" he motioned for her as he sat himself down as well.

"Thanks. Am really sorry  if I kept you waiting, it's just that the traffic was heavy this evening"

"It's no bother at all" he accepted her apology forgetting that he was just getting impatient with her few seconds ago before she arrived.

"Shall we began then" Alex suggested as he noticed the brown file with her.

" Yeah, sure "

Alex studied her closely as she began to sort out the documents in the file, probably to bring out the relevant ones.

Alex couldn't help but brood and feel uneasy as to while she would dress up so gorgeously just to seal a business deal. He couldn't help but hope that his father wasn't playing an expensive joke on him.
