Chapter 149: Conceited Guy

"My wife," he said, a hint of humor in his tone.

"Oh. What time is she arriving?" Lanny decided to entertain this stranger since she was bored sitting there alone.

"I don’t know. I was supposed to message her but my phone went down. And now, I’m stuck here. But I’m glad I’m not alone." The guy replied, letting out a soft chuckle.

"You’ve been here for two hours while I’ve been here for one and a half. Should we just go home?" Lanny asked him hypothetically.

"I can’t leave. I don’t want my wife to get mad if she won’t see me here."

"Hmmm. What a loyal man. Fine. Just wait for her. As for me, if that guy won’t show up in an hour, I’m going to leave!"

Lanny took a deep sigh and just leaned her back on the wall, her eyes still glued on the arrival gate.

The man, on the other hand, was watching her in amusement. He couldn’t help but smile as he gazed at her annoyed expression. She still looked pretty even in her grumpy mood.

"Don’t worry. I’ll keep you company here while waiting so you won’t feel bored." He didn’t sound like someone who had an ill motive. It was just his natural friendly behavior.

"Thanks... but it’s fine. Just don’t mind me."

Lanny didn’t accept his offer. It felt so weird to allow a stranger to do that to her. Furthermore, she noticed something about this guy. He looked a bit suspicious because of his cap and his mask.

"Hey. How could your wife recognize you if you were hiding behind that black mask and your cap? You should remove it so that she can see you right away," Lanny suggested.

Deep inside, she had become curious about his face. Since the sound of his voice was so cool, she assumed that he would also look handsome without his mask and his cap.

"Do you think she will recognize me if I remove these?" He asked her innocently.

"Of course! So don’t hide your face behind that mask."

The guy nodded. And without further ado, the guy removed his mask first.

Lanny was at a loss for words when she finally saw his face. ’Damn! I didn’t expect him to be so gorgeous! It’s beyond my expectation.’

The guy had a perfect smile, flexing his white teeth. He also had thick eyelashes like those women. If she would guess his age, he might be in his early 30s.

"Miss, why are you looking at me like that? Do you know me? Have you seen me somewhere?"

His voice snapped Lanny out of her stupor.

"Oh. I don’t know you." She mumbled, averting her gaze.

They were in the middle of their conversation when they heard a commotion coming from the arrival gate.

"Who is he?"

"Is he a male celebrity?"

"I think he is an international model."

A tall guy in his leather jacket was being escorted by several bodyguards. He looked like a VIP.

Lanny’s eyes narrowed when she saw that man. ’Oh. Is this the guy– the mighty son of the De Luca Family?’

She hissed. ’I don’t like his arrogance. Why bring several bodyguards?! Doesn’t he trust my capability to protect him?!’

Lanny quickly rose from her seat and strode toward the guy who caused a commotion by flexing his status as a man of importance.

Lanny didn’t care about the ladies looking at the guy who looked like a heartthrob. ’Ahuh! He seems to enjoy the attention he is getting from the ladies?!’

’This guy made me wait for almost two hours. I don’t give a damn if he is from De Luca Family. I must teach him a lesson!’ Lanny thought to herself.

She was about to approach the guy but she was stopped immediately by three bodyguards, preventing her from getting near their Boss.

"Who are you? Who told you to approach our Boss? Are you planning to hurt him?" The bodyguard questioned Lanny. He even pushed her.

Lanny was caught off guard by that sudden push. She stumbled back only to be caught by the stranger who borrowed her charger.

"Easy man. You are hurting a woman." The guy said in his stern voice. He wasn’t happy at all when the guard pushed Lanny hard. Fortunately, before Lanny fell to the ground, he managed to catch her in his arms.

"And who are you?" The guard spat back at him.

"Me? A concerned citizen who happened to witness you assaulting this beautiful lady." He responded in his authoritative voice.

Lanny took a deep sigh. "I’m fine. I can handle this. No need to intervene."

After saying that, Lanny called the attention of the tall guy in his leather jacket."

"You! Discipline your bodyguards. They are so rude!" She reprimanded the guy whom she believed was Dmitri De Luca.

The guy removed his sunglasses and stared at Lanny intently. Instead of getting annoyed, the man signaled for his bodyguards to step back.

Without further ado, the man walked toward Lanny, smiling broadly. Upon reaching her spot, he immediately extended his right hand.

"I apologize for their bad behavior. Don’t worry, Miss Beautiful, I will discipline them for you," the man in his leather jacket responded, having a conceited smile on his face.

Lanny just rolled her eyes skyward. "Why are you late?! Let’s go and follow me!"

She didn’t tone down her voice since she was annoyed.

She thought the guy was already following her but to her surprise, the man just looked at her, puzzled.

"Why should our Boss follow you? And who are you to order our boss?" The nosy bodyguard interjected once again.

Lanny turned around to face him and squinted her eyes. "Simply because... I’m in charge of his well-being here!"

The man in his leather jacket chuckled once more, satisfied when he heard Lanny’s last remarks.

"Wow. I would love that. It’s my pleasure to be taken care of by a beautiful lady like you." He was about to kiss the back of her palm but Lanny brushed his hands off her.

She cringed at his cheesy remarks. "Stop playing around with me, Mr. De Luca. I’m not happy to see you. You are late!"

"Huh? Mr. De Luca? Who is that?"

Both guys looked at Lanny with different reactions.
