Chapter 1894
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
Chapter 1894 Marry First âI didnât think you have such a wonderful idea, Francesca!â Harrier raised his cup toward Francesca for a toast. âI was being too shallow. To you, Francesca!â
Francesca raised her cup too and emptied it before standing up. âI need to go to the restroom.â
âIâll go with you.â Eva followed her.
A few female bodyguards from the Lindberg family also followed.
A complicated look was present in Danriqueâs eyes as he stared at her back.
The performance on the stage continued. The lions returned backstage before the elephants showed up.
Francesca, of course, didnât want a group of people following her and preventing her escape. I need to find a way to get them off of me.
âAre you feeling unhappy, Cece?â Eva comforted in a low voice. âIs it because of Hazel? Donât worry, the one Danrique like is you.â
âEva.â Francesca suddenly cut her off. âI think Iâm having my period. Can you grab some sanitary pads for me?â
âYes, of course. Wait for me. Iâll be right back.â Eva then quickly left.
She didnât notice Francesca attached something to her dress.
After Eva left, Francesca jumped onto the basin and placed her lit lighter below the fire sensor.
Then she jumped down, hid behind the door, and counted. One⦠Five⦠Tenâ¦
âAh!â As expected, Evaâs scream was heard. âThereâs something in my skirt!â
Two bodyguards immediately went to check up on her.
At the same time, the fire sensor went off, luring the other two bodyguards into the restroom.
Francesca took the opportunity to slip away.
When the bodyguards realized what was going on, she was already gone like the wind.
âWhereâs Ms. Cece?â
âFind her now!â
Both of them searched through all the cubicles and didnât find her. One of them quickly headed back to Gordon to report on the situation.
Concurrently, Francesca had already run through the corridor and prepared to go downstairs. When she saw a few bodyguards headed her way, she quickly hid in a nearby utility room.
After the bodyguards left, she swiftly bolted out and continued her escape.
She already researched her escape path, which was why her escape had been pretty successful.
After a few twists and turns, she was finally out of the theater. She wanted to jump in joy, but she knew she wasnât out of the woods yet and quickly stopped a taxi.
Suddenly, two blinding lights were aimed in her direction, temporarily forcing her to close her eyes.
She raised her hand to block her eyes instinctively. Before she could react, a familiar voice was heard next to her.
âWhere are you going, Ceceâ¦â
Francesca was shocked. When she reopened her eyes, she saw Danrique walking toward her from the lightâs direction. He appeared as though was an all-powerful god in control of everything.
Behind him was a group of subordinates staring at her calmly. So, heâs in control all this time, huh? He knew I wanted to escape, so he tested me on purpose. Fine. I guess this means I donât need to hide anymore.
Francesca went straight to the point. âIâm not your puppet or slave, Danrique. I have my own life and job. You canât keep me here.â
âFine.â Danrique nodded. âIâll send you wherever you want to go if you marry me first.â
She widened her eyes in disbelief. âHas your brain turned into goo? Why would I want to marry you?â
âYouâre destined to be my wife.â The look in his eyes is firm. âItâs fate!â
âWhat the f*ck are you talking aboutâ¦â Francesca couldnât hold back anymore. âIâm not going to marry you and I am going to leave now.â
She tried to jump into a car, but his subordinates stopped her.
âThere are so many people who want to marry you, so why are you bloody obsessed with me?â Francesca was infuriated beyond her limits. âYou should know thereâs no point in a relationship if itâs forcedâHey, what are you doing? Hey!â
Before she could finish, Danrique pushed her into his car.q
