CHAPTER 53

"Can we be friends..." His eyes seemed to have shone brighter in the office with the question he used to throw her off guard. 'My mysterious tigress?' He completed his question in his mind, nevertheless, his words still left Jade speechless. 

'Wow, he is capable of making friends," Jade thought inwardly. 

"Why are you looking at me that way? I am only following your advice."

She did not know that she reflected her thoughts in her facial expression and it made him get a bit irritated. 

'Finally, something gets you off.' Jade thought again. 

"I said so, true, but I would have to think about it."

"Are you serious right now?"

"Yes. For all I know, your actions are questionable."

"They are not," Xander protested like a child. "If there is anything, I think I was pretty fair. I came to you openly about my intentions. It is not like I am hiding it from you like a coward."

This Xander! 

How his brain worked some times was a true wonder. 

Jade just noticed that arguing with him would only be a lost cause and to his own amusement. 

"Tsk... Fine. We can start the process with the friendahip."

"Okay. How do we start?"

GANG! 

Jade's eyes widened. Was he serious? Like seriously, who asked that? 

–––––

Days later, Jade was in her room looking all dressed up and ready for her outing. 

She had been confused about what to wear for her date with Xander and so she called for help from the one person she knew could help out. 

Honestly speaking, it was just a casual date so she didn't know why she was even bothering her precious brain, thinking of what to wear when she only did this so he could leave her be that day. 

"Hey baby, you sure are going to make that predator speechless." Macy commented on her outfit which made the all the already stunning Jade a goddess of beauty. 

It was a white off shoulder gown which hugged her every curve in the right place.

The lovely design of the plain gown that came to a stop at her knees, really was one befitting of her beauty.

The top had beautiful pearls adorning the edges on the cape with some spec at the various portions of the gown. 

It had a long sleeve underneath the cape and a small slit at the right side of the dress that showed a bit of her thighs when she walked. 

Her face had a nice makeup that went well with her outfit. It was a nice touch of blue lipstick and a good amount on powder, coupled with her blue pearl necklace that graced her slender necks and matched her eyeshadows and blue high heels shoes. 

Simply put, Jade was a beauty worth dying for and one man saw that and chose to let go of such rare gem. 

Her hair was let down in a wavy bunch, cascading freely all over her clothes and back, bringing out her lovely face. 

"You think?"

"Yea, what is wrong with you, damn it!" Macy could not believe that her friend would even for once be doubting her charm.

"If you say so then."

"You are a... I don't even know what to say to you," Macy lamented out loud.

"That is why you love me."

Both of them kept quiet and stood before the mirror staring into their reflections. "Are you sure about this, Jade?"

Jade already knew what she was referring to and did not need to ask. She was not so sure about this her date with Xander especially after Jade told her he had kissed her before.

Her mind went into shambles instantly at that moment. 

The Jade she knew back then did not have a boyfriend for so many reason or just two. 

One she did not have the time and secondly, she was the heiress of the Mafia Lord and needed to he protected at all times, making everyone a suspect and her movemt, restricted. 

While for most children they could do what they had wanted, Jade on the other hand stayed focused in her training instead and did not see any guy who was up to what she had wanted. 

So if Xander had kissed her, then that would only mean that he took her first kiss. 

"I am sure. If I do not, he won't let me be, besides. It's just the start to a friendship." She shrugged her shoulders while still staring at her friend through the mirror. 

"You can have a restraining order you know," Macy addressed her first statement. 

"I know. Still, it hasn't gotten to that extent. If there is anything, I want to see how far he can go. How long he can keep this up."

"I think he is very determined and persistent if you ask me. He looks like a guy who gets what he wants one way or another. Those kind of people are not used to the word 'No' in quote."

"Haha haha..." Jade joking brushed off her words but a part within her knew that what her friend was saying was true. 

The only difference would be that Jade was well was one stubborn tigress and she definitely did jot intend to go down without a fight.

"Relax, Macy."

"Nope, I can't and I won't, cause where it would lead to, would be he getting you to be his."

"Hey, I belong to no one," Jade countered her sharply. "Jade Frost belongs to no one. The only people I belonged to are dead now. All these," she made a show with her hand on her dress and outfit. 

"All these are just temporary, show, cover up. The main goal remains. In fact I also need to find out about him and why he is present whenever I am in somewhere we shouldn't both be."

She rubbed her hand gently against her gown, letting them slide down her curves as she took in her gorgeous self once more. 

"For your sake, baby, I hope so," Macy finally responded and peeled her eyes off their reflection. "Now time to send you off."

"Thank you."

"Welcome dear."
