Chapter Nine – One More Night

"Try to tell you no

But my body keep on telling you yes."

Maroon 5

"You really should read this!" I was waiting inside of a restaurant near the company when Carol showed up in front of me and shoved a magazine on my face. I wasn't even able to read the name on the cover.

"I can't read if you don't let me see." I told her and she apologized, then seated across me on the table.

"Fine, now, go to page 37 and read!" She said and tapper her finger on the table, making me curious to see what the hell was written in there.

I opened the magazine and ran my eyes through it until I found the page 37. Still confused about what could possibly have caught my friend's attention, I read the title:

20 most eligible bachelors of the country

I raised my eyebrows and looked at Carol in front of me. She was grinning and I was afraid of what I was going to read next. If this was something related to what my sister told me earlier, I would probably bury my head on the sand.

My eyes scanned the page until I found what I was looking for.

Lucas Farris – CEO of MTech

Lucas is rich, well-succeeded and, what's most important, he is H-O-T

With his black hair, deep green eyes and a killer body, the CEO has everything a girl looks for.

Luckily, for the female population, the man seems to be available. After only two public relationships, Lucas tries his best to hide his conquests, even though we have caught him a few times with different ladies, including last week when we shot pictures of him hanging out with a brunette inside of a small restaurant.

But it gets better! His parents don't seem to like that their dear son is getting old and didn't find his true mate yet.

So, yes girls, you may have a chance with the guy!

But don't expect him to be an easy target. Secret sources tell our department that Lucas may look like the good guy who send flowers but after he gets what he wants, he loses all his interest.

The suggestion then is: Keep him interested!

I had the urge to laugh at the absurdity of this article but I just shook my head and closed the magazine.

"Really?" I asked Carol who was staring at me. "Why does it even matter?"

"Oh, don't say you're not at least a little bit affected!" She snapped at me and I fixed my position on the booth. "I mean, he did get what he wanted with you and still he acts like a puppy when he's around you!" Carol said and then I had to laugh. What she said didn't make any sense!

"You only saw him once, Carol." I reasoned and she shot me a death glare.

"Yeah, but that was enough!" She said back and I decided to change subjects before the whole restaurant stopped to look at us shouting at each other.

"What about you and Peter? I saw you two were quite entertained by each other last night." I said, teasingly. Instantly, I saw my friend blushing and I almost left my chin fall to the ground. "You're blushing!" I pointed a finger at her and laughed hard!
