A Beautiful Misunderstanding

Essie's eyes started to become misty as she turned away, shaking away her thoughts.
Zac slid his thumb down her chin. "Look at me," he said softly. He didn't want her to feel wronged. In fact, that's the last thing he
wanted her to feel. He wanted her to feel as if she was the only one in the world for him.
Hearing that, Essie sniffled and gazed up at him innocently. "What's so attractive about you?" she murmured.
"I'm better looking than him," he snorted. His dark eyes glinted under the dim light.
"You wish." She barked out a laugh, but before she could say anything else, he leaned over and kissed her. His kiss was like a
shock of electricity. She trembled against his touch as she leaned closer into his arms.
Her face reddened. She didn't expect that the cold man would have such an arrogant side. He even dared to kiss her in public!
Since Zac was now her boyfriend, she couldn't reject his hold, but she definitely wasn't going to let go of him that easily.
Essie lifted her foot under the tablecloth and secretly kicked him hard on the shins.
He pulled away as he leaned against her ear. "I have the right to do that," he whispered. His breath fanned against the side of
her neck, and she stiffened.
"Your right lasts till the afternoon," she snapped softly. Essie continued to kick him, but every kick was lighter. For outsiders, it
looked like they were flirting with each other.
"I can always keep that right," he said casually.
While Hanson was walking up the crimson steps, his gaze steadied on Essie. At the sight of her with another man, his heart
crippled in jealousy. It was as if the world had decided to douse him with bitterness and sourness to last him a day.
Sunny gritted her teeth beside him. "Shameless bitch!" she spat. "She confessed her love for you the day before yesterday and
now she's making out with some other man." Hanson clenched his fists. Suddenly he stood up from his chair and stomped out of
the room without saying a word.
"Where are you going? The ceremony is about to begin," she shouted, but he completely ignored her words.
Her nails dug into her palms as she thought of ways to hold him back. She would not let that bitch ruin this moment for the both
of them!

Seeing that Essie was heading to the toilet, she followed as a malicious smile threaded across her lips.
"And here I thought you were innocent. I never knew you have such an obscene side," Sunny said with a smirk.
Taking a deep breath, Essie decided to ignore her.
Noticing this, Sunny decided to take a different approach. "Actually, I'm kind of worried for you. There must be loads of beautiful
women hounding around your boyfriend. With you being so boring, I bet that he'll grow tired of you in less than two months."
Essie scoffed, "Even if you break up with Hanson, we won't." "Humph! Bitch!
You want to bet?" she taunted.
"What's the bet?" Essie crossed her arms over her chest and turned around, wanting to see what other tricks the woman had
hidden under her sleeves.
"I bet that your relationship can't last for two months. If you break up, then you lose," she said slowly.
That was the bet! It was as if she was betting with a five-year-old!
Essie sneered and was about to leave, but Sunny's sarcastic laughter stopped her in her tracks. "What a coward! I know you
wouldn't dare. You know what? I bet you can't even last a month in his arms. You probably got two weeks, and it's over before
you even know it."
