100. Protect Vera with my life

David’s POV.

“What the heck…?” Nathan says, clearly surprised I’m booking his whole restaurant for tonight.

Nathan’s family has one of the best restaurants in town and since he now manages all of his family’s business, the restaurant happens to be his.

I keep the determined look on my face even as Nathan taunts me with his ‘you can’t be serious’ look.

“I mean it. How much do you need?” I boast again, and he shakes his head. His eyes dim after a while.

It seems everything is sinking down given the knowing look on his face.

“Vera? You two are a thing now?”

Huffing, I nod. “Shits went south last night and I spilled my whole feelings to her.”

Nathan visibly exhales. “I knew that was going to happen.” He says, getting up.

“You knew, how?” I probe, my brows cocked.

“It was written all over you, clearly half of the day you think about her. I knew you'd fail to meet the demands of the NDA that says, just fling, no emotions involved.”

Okay, he has me right there but I don’t give a damn fuck
