Elvis cleared his throat and began, "Amanda, I like the way you smile. The truth is that you stole my heart that very day we bumped into each other. I like you already. I don't know how you will feel if I ask you to be my woman. Do not misunderstand me. I know this is our first lunch date, but I want you to know that I do not have any bad intention towards you. Please, give us a chance and I promise you that you will not regret it. I promise to always make you happy. Please, I meant every word I am saying to you. Other women will envy you. I am a man of little words. I don't talk much but whatever I say, that I always do."
Amanda couldn't believe that Elvis is asking her to date him and this is going to be her first date, if she agrees to it. She blushed and looked at Elvis's handsome face, " Elvis, please can you give me time to think about that? I will definitely tell you whether I will date you or not."
Elvis looked at Amanda. He was worried that Amanda will say no to him and he ended up saying, "Amanda, it is fine with me that you will think about it, but please don't make it long .Secondly, you have the right to say yes or no, but I want you to know that saying yes to me will make me the happiest man on earth. I will forever appreciate you. Please, do not reject me. You are the first woman I'm asking to date me. I have never been into any relationship before. I really want you to be my first and my last. Please, do not say no. I may be poor today but remember that my situation will definitely change for good. I really need us, please. Amanda, you really deserve the best. You are the first woman that have really captured my heart. I have not done this before. Amanda, you have captured my heart and I can't deny the feelings i have for you anymore."
Amanda chuckled and gave him a beautiful smile. She told Elvis that she will give him a reply but he should bear it in mind that she has never dated before. " Elvis, I will give you my reply by tomorrow. It seems we have some things in common. I have neither dated before. I see men as heartbreakers because two of my girlfriend's were dealt with by the men they loved and cherished. One of them went into trauma as a result of that and I said to myself, I will never date any man. You are the first man I have agreed to have a lunch with. I think what attracted me to have a lunch with you is your humility. You know how I bumped into you and stained your shirt, you were not angry with me and I was so happy that very day as a result of that."
Amanda said to herself " I think that is not the only reason. He is handsome and that is the second reason."
Amanda didn't know that she said it to the hearing of Elvis who was all smiles. He asked " Am I really handsome?"
Amanda became shy and was surprised that Elvis knew what she was thinking but she became embarrassed, when Elvis told her that she said it to his hearing and that was the time she admitted that Elvis is a handsome man. " Yes, you are handsome," She finally said.
" Thank you for saying that but I am promising you that I will never break your heart if you say yes to me." Elvis thanked her.
Amanda demanded for their bill, she was about paying she was told that the bill has been taken care of. Amanda demanded to know who paid for the bill. Elvis who looked surprised was smiling inwardly.
She was told that an unknown man who saw her smiling, liked her smiles and paid the bill.
Amanda couldn't believe it. Elvis who appeared to be jealous after hearing that a man liked her smiles and as a result of that paid the bill said to Amanda, " I know that I am poor but it is so shameful that another man paid for our bills. He even said that he likes your smiles. Do I really deserve to be humiliated by that man because I am poor?"
Amanda who was confused because of how jealous Elvis was, said, " Don't you think it is a harmless gesture? I see nothing wrong with that, because I do not even know the man and he didn't even say he wants anything from me. I think you are overacting by being jealous. Please, if you really want me to say yes to you then you have to stop referring to yourself as a poor man."
After lunch, Amanda was about leaving, when Elvis offered to take her back to the office with his motorcycle, but Amanda declined. Elvis asked her whether she was ashamed of his motorcycle. Amanda said she is not ashamed of his motorcycle. Amanda insisted on taking a taxi because she didn't come with her own car as a result of Tricia's refusal to give her back her car key for some days.Amanda was waiting for a taxi, when Elvis quickly sent a text to his driver to drop Amanda at the office.Elvis joined Amanda at the place she was waiting for a taxi, under the pretence that he wants to keep her company until a taxi comes. They were still standing there when a beautiful black range Rover of the latest model pulled over.The man in the range Rover who was wearing a black suit came out and pretending to be a friend of Elvis, whom he has not seen for a very long time, exclaimed, " wow! Elvis, where have you been? It's been a long time.Elvis pretending
Amanda called Mirabel before the closure of work and informed her that she will be coming to her place after work.Mirabel told her that she can't wait to hear how her outing with Elvis went. After work, Amanda went to Mirabel's place to tell her about her lunch with Elvis.Amanda told Mirabel, how Elvis asked her to be his woman. She went further to explain, how he promised not to break her heart and how he will make other women to be jealous of her. Amanda told her how a stranger paid their bills. She also told Mirabel, how a friend of Elvis admired her which made Elvis jealous and angry. She continued, "I do not know why Elvis was jealous. We are not yet lovers and he is jealous already. I think he is a jealous type and I really have to be careful ."Mirabel who was paying attention to all Amanda has been saying was all smiles. She knew that Amanda has fallen in love. She asked, " Now that Elvis is asking you to date him, what is going to be your resp
Amanda was lost in thought. She was wondering who was on the phone with Mandy, her mother. She couldn't believe that her mother was crying and begging the person on the phone. She was thinking that, whatever that was making her mother cry on the phone, must be a strong thing. She doesn't know how to approach Mandy to open up to her, because she is always hostile to her.Amanda decided against going to ask her mother, Mandy what the problem was and who was on the phone. She knew that Mandy will insult her, therefore she made up her mind to mind her own business.Amanda was really so happy that her dad will be returning the next day. She decided to call her father.

If you are willing to keep to the conditions then I will date you."Elvis was all smiles when he saw her call and he was so happy when he heard her angelic voice, but his countenance changed immediate
Elvis who was so happy that Amanda has agreed to be his love, called all his men to give them order in respect of his relationship with Amanda. He directed his men to always protect Amanda and that they should do that without Amanda's knowledge. He told them Amanda is his priority and that he doesn't want any harm to come to her. He went further to tell them that Amanda doesn't know that he is wealthy and he doesn't want them to tell her about his status.

The next day, Mandy was in the living room with her husband. Kris was telling her that Amanda will be expecting a visitor today, he instructed her to make sure the visitor is well entertained, since he has an important business meeting to attend.

Amanda served Elvis some food which she made herself. They ate together.After they finished eating, they started discussing. Amanda asked Elvis what he is doing for a living. "You have not told me what you do for a living?".Elvis didn't see the question coming. He thought that, since he informed her that he is poor that she would not bother asking what he does for a living. " Well, I was working as a cleaner in a restaurant but not anymore. I resigned because I was underpaid and at the same time insulted by the owner of that restaurant. I have sent my curriculum vitae to a company and I am hoping that, I will be employed soon."Amanda said, " Don't worry everything will be alright. I will talk to my father on your behalf. He has a friend who has a big and good company. He will assist you get a job in the company."Elvis cleared his throat and said, "Amanda, do not worry about me. I don't want to depend on your father or his f
