Attracted to my Friend's Father's Charm
Chapter 9. Let's go on a date

...🍁🍁🍁...

A few minutes before Griselda reached her daughter's apartment. The middle-aged woman who still looks youthful had just spoken to her secretary who reported that her meeting with the group's CEO Sanderix was postponed.

Griselda was not at all angry with the delay of the meeting because she had a meeting with Jonas and his mother. Jonas is the man who is betrothed to his daughter Savana. Mama Jonas is one of the largest shareholders in the company managed by Griselda. Their relationship is not just a business relationship but a close friendship.

"Sorry, Amber.. Why did you suddenly ask me to meet you? What's up?" griselda asked astonished that her best friend had come to see her without giving any news first.

"Look at Grisel, sorry in advance that I've been interfering with your time. But I have to say all this has to do with our two children!" amber said her best friend.

"Yes? What's wrong with our kids? Isn't our children's relationship great."

"Jonas, you better explain it to Aunt Griselda." urged Amber to Jonas who was sitting right next to her.

"Lookin Aunt...Savannah she suddenly broke off our engagement once she got back to Chicago."

"W-what? Savannah so? What reason?" Griselda was very surprised by what Jonas said. He was surprised because the relationship between Jones and Savanna had been fine.

"Tante, this is all because Savana is too jealous of me. When he came to my apartment, he was surprised that I was with my girlfriend there. But the real incident was not so aunt, I was not alone there. I was with other friends and they were a man. But Savana was already angry and misunderstood, she then handed us our engagement ring and said break up." explained Jonas with a reassuring and clear face. It's as if all of this is Savannah's misunderstanding.

"WHAT? Is that so, Jonas?!"

No, Savana can't call off this engagement. It's been hard for me to match them and Savana agrees because she loves Jonas too. It was as if the boy wanted to ruin my business! The cancellation of the engagement was tantamount to the destruction of my company and my friendship with Amber.

Griselda looked so agitated and scared. Finally he told Jonas and his mother not to worry. Because he will talk to Savana and explain everything not to misunderstand and take decisions under the control of emotions.

****

Griselda is in front of her daughter's apartment. He even slapped her just now. Savana looked at her mother in amazement. From a distance Javier and Elena saw all that.

"Ma! Why did Mama come and slap me?" tanya Savana did not accept the treatment of her mother.

"How dare you! Who do you think you are to break off an engagement like that? Huh uh?!"

"Then what do you think, I have to stay in this relationship like a fool and my fiance will continue to make love to other women!" shouts Savana emotion, she held back her tears as hard as she could.

"Don't lie! Jonas didn't cheat on you, you misunderstood and you were jealous just like your papa!" show Griselda to her daughter.

Savannah was shocked by what her mother said. His mother defended and believed in Jonas more than he did. During this Savana always obeyed what Griselda wanted, even the engagement with Jonas was because of Griselda's desire and indeed at that time Savana was interested in Jonas. But in fact

"Papa wasn't jealous, but you were right to have an affair until you gave birth to that bastard!"

"SAVANA! KEEP YOUR MOUTH!" griselda.

As Griselda's hand floated and was about to slap Savana again, one hand blocked Griselda's hand.

"Who is-" Griselda was angry, she turned to the man holding her hand. Instantly he immediately frowned when he saw it. "Mr Javier?"

"Violence will not solve Ms. Griselda's problem" Javier said coldly and firmly. Then he let go of Griselda's hand.

Javier looked at the teary Savana, his cheeks also flushed red from being slapped by Griselda. Javier never thought that Griselda, Savana's mother, would hurt him. Javier's heart was becoming more and more guilty.

"Aante! Savana has a reason why she broke off her engagement to that bastard! Aunty don't hit me and listen to Savana's explanation!" elena was angry at Griselda.

Griselda couldn't do anything because there was Javier and Elena there. Eventually he chose to leave and chose another day to talk to Savana.

"I'll make you drink first, om, Elena."

"No need, let me make it. You wait here, yeah,"

"Elena, I'm fine." Savana replied with a smile. But that smile implied a wound in his eyes. Even Javier did not take his eyes off Savana despite repeatedly turning his face away from her.

"Dad, please take care of Savana first. I'll make you a drink and grab my favorite snack and Savana" Elena told her father.

"Yes, son" Javier replied with a smile.

After Elena breezed off to the kitchen, Savana and Javier were sitting together in the living room. Savana was silent and rolled his eyes to and fro, as long as he did not look at Javier.

What's he gonna do here? It's annoying and embarrassing because she saw my mom slap me. Oho! I must look pathetic.

"Little girl, I want to talk" Javier said, breaking the silence. Savana looked at him.

"Talk it up,"

"I'll take responsibility for what I did that night."

"What do you mean by money? A yacht? A vacation? I'm sorry I don't want to accept all thatif om comes here just to insult me, better-"

"NO! I didn't mean to insult you. Please listen to my words until the end" Javier said as he approached Savana.

"No! I don't want to hear, I don't have to take responsibility! Let's just say that night we didn't do anything" Savana said angrily.

"Little girl!" jakel

"Stop talking or Elena will hear us. I know I was wrong and I wasn't thinking straight. I'll find another man who might touch my body and I'll hold him accountable." slurping Savana with a bitter smile on his lips. "Om not to worry! I'm not gonna hold you accountable!" continued again.

"You can't talk begi-"

"Tara..food and drink have arrived!"

Elena's arrival makes Javier and Savana's conversation cut off. Elena came to bring food and drinks and put them on the table.

Not to forget Elena brought a compress to treat the wound on Savana's cheek. Elena loves her best friend Savana so much and Javier can see that affection.

Evening arrives, Javier is subtly evicted by Savana from his apartment. But when Javier was about to leave, the man took Savana into his room. Not forgetting Javier locked the door.

"Of! Elena's outside and what are you doing?" Savana is upset, both wrists are held tightly by one hand Javier and placed on his head.

"I said listen to me first! I'm sorry that I hurt you and I'm going to take responsibility, what a little girl." Javier looked at Savana with a deep and earnest look. Until Savana was lulled into his gaze.

"What way are you responsible?"

"Let's go on a date" replied Javier, who made the gray eyes widen. Then his eyes became twinkling.

"For marriage I can't yet, but we can date if you want."

The two of them met. I don't know who started it, now two chewy objects belonging to them meet and greet each other.
