<h4>Chapter 68: ROMANTIC DINNER</h4>


    Because Lexus didn''t agree to take Hailee to Ramon''s office, as originally nned, they returned home, to the Tordoffs.


    After dropping off Hailee, Lexus said in a warning tone before he got back into his car.


    "Go inside and don''t create trouble anymore, you''ve done enough to make my brother look like he''s not himself, okay?" said Lexus casually. "I want to know what really happened between him and Rnd Dimatrio, there''s no way news this hot escaped my ears," he grumbled.


    Yesterday Ramon disappeared without any news and canceled several meetings, fortunately it was only an internal meeting and Lexus was able to handle it well as Danny was not there too at the time.


    Meanwhile, Hailee could only exhale heavily, seeing Lexus'' behavior. The young master of the Tordoff family seemed more interested in knowing the news than the fact that Rnd Dimatrio''s life was in a mess.


    "Wait!" Hailee said as she waved her hand at Lexus and reminded him. "Tell Ramon toe home soon, I''ll cook dinner."


    Hearing the word ''dinner'', Lexus walked back to Hailee and asked with a face full of hope.


    "Dinner?" he asked with a cracked smile. "You are going to cook again?"


    Seeing Lexus'' childish expression, Haileeughed and hisugh followed suit, assuming that Hailee would invite him to eat dinner together.


    But, a secondter Hailee stoppedughing all of a sudden and her expression returned to normal in an instant, saying coldly. "No."


    "What?" Lexus''sughter just disappeared when he heard Hailee''s unexpected refusal.


    "No," Hailee repeated, this time shaking her head to confirm her words, so that Lexus wouldn''t ask any more questions. "You can''te over tonight."


    "Why?" asked Lexus in a defensive tone. He loved the dishes Hailee made and wanted to eat them again.


    "Because I want to prepare a romantic dinner, just for the two of us," Hailee replied with a meaningful smile. "You''ll only be a third wheel if you tag along."


    Hearing this, Lexus immediately covered his ears and walked away grumbling, "I''ve seen enough of you two being all lovey dovey, I don''t need to see anything else."


    Lately, whenever Lexus came to Ramon''s house, he often found Hailee making out with Ramon, whether it was when Ramon was holding her in his study, or most recently when Hailee teased Ramon on the stairs.


    Ugh!


    Lexus no longer wanted to see scenes like that.


    On the other hand, seeing Lexus'' exaggerated reaction made Haileeugh. "Don''t forget to tell Ramon!" she reminded him again when Lexus got into his car before driving it away.


    ==============


    Hailee spent her entire afternoon resting and searching for recipes that she thought would fit for the impromptu dinner she was nning.


    After finding several menus that she thought were easy and in ordance with Ramon''s tastes, she then made sure the raw materials for her cooking were avable in the kitchen.


    And Hailee was really lucky, all the food ingredients were avable.


    Everything is perfect.


    Now, she only needed to wait for an hour or two before she could start cooking dinner for the two of them. Even though Ramon didn''t say when he woulde home, but the man usually would arrive home at seven in the evening, so based on that habit, Hailee assumed that Ramon would alsoe home at the same time today.


    Apparently, the happiness that radiated from Hailee''s face was obvious, because several servants there watched her with a small smile when they found Hailee humming.


    "Miss, can I help you with anything?" asked one of the servants, offering to help.


    They were quite used to seeing Hailee in the kitchen and during that time, this girl always declined their help, but this time it seemed like Hailee was preparing something special and they wanted to get involved.


    Especially when they saw how happy Hailee was. Understandably, their gossipy souls roared to find out what would happen between these two people.


    That said, they were very happy to see Ramon with Hailee. The two of them get along really well and Hailee had a warm and jovial personality.


    "Can you help me set the table?" Hailee asked, this time she epted their help. "I''d like to have dinner on the patio, in the back garden. Could you please help me to set up a table over there?" she asked politely.


    "Of course," replied Martha, a middle-aged woman who seemed to be the butler of Ramon''s house. "Do you want a romantic candle dinner?" she asked, blinking her eyes coquettishly.


    It made Haileeugh cheerfully. She like Martha. "Yes, please."


    If Hailee was indeed going to be married to Ramon and make that man the only one in her life, then it didn''t hurt to make their household a little bit fun, right?


    Maybe this romantic dinner, could make them both fall in love for real.


    ==============


    It was ten o''clock in the evening, but Ramon had note home yet, usually he never came home thiste...


    And now, Hailee''s mood, which had been so perfect two hours ago, was slowly turning cold, as cold as the food she had prepared and the now extinguished candles on the terrace in the back garden.


    "Hhh ..." Hailee sighed again irritably. She then leaned her back against the back of the chair and looked back at the phone on the table. Right now she was in Ramon''s study and intended to call the man to ask if he wasing home.


    Unfortunately, Hailee''s cellphonewas left behind at Rnd''s house yesterday and she didn''t know Ramon''s phone number, or Lexus''s, or Lis''s for that matter, and this irritated and annoyed her.


    Not to mention the fact that not a single servant in this house knew the numbers of any of the three of them. Of course it shouldn''te as a surprise, but it still made Hailee''s mood worse with every second that passed.


    Even the servants outside the study door could sense it.


    They didn''t dare ask what to do with the dining table set, so they just left it like that until Hailee gave an order.


    "So annoying!" Hailee scowled and stared at the phone on the table with an angry gaze, as if it had mistaken her. "I should have memorized his number…" Hailee grumbled softly.


    Now allher efforts were in vain...


    "When would hee home? Did Lexus forget to deliver my message?" Hailee grumbled as she stared at the hands of the clock, moving toward the eleven o''clock mark.
