Chapter 41 - 41
The six bodyguards scared Adrianna and her friends.
"Look, sirs, we just wanted to check our reservation." Julia said as she took a step back.
"Miss, don't worry, they are here to escort you in."
Everyone outside was shocked, many began snapping photos of the group that was going in. A random social media user noticed that one of the girls was Adrianna Hernandez, whom according to rumors, had managed to steal the Reyes Heir's heart. What was odd though was that she was there with her husband.
Earlier while Adrianna was talking to the manager Cedric sent a message to his sister.
He quickly sent her a message.
Ced: We're outside. Don't expose me.
Ayanna: Awesome! I'll ask the bodyguards to let you in.
Ced: Again, if anyone finds out I'll make sure dad forces you to marry someone from another country.
Ayanna: Dad would never do that.
Ced: Fine, I'll make you marry Ray.
Ayanna: You're gross. I'll behave.
Ced: Tell the others too.
Ayanna: Yes boss!
Sofia, Natasha, and Julia went first following the bodyguards. Cedric held Adrianna's hand and lifted it to his lips to give it a kiss.
"Why are you being sweet?" Adrianna was suspicious of Cedric's motives.
Cedric just smiled at her and they walked in after the bodyguards.
As usual the 4 princes had managed to group together at one end of the table and the girls were at the other. When Ayanna saw Adrianna walk in she waved.
"Hey Adrianna. When I heard you reserved a table here too I knew we were always meant to be friends!" Ayanna got up and took Adrianna away from Cedric.
"Cedric, you can sit with the boys." Ayanna said in a cold tone. She was mad at her brother for reprimanding her.
Cedric shook his head and took a seat next to Ray.
"This is crazy." Miguel sighed. It was loud enough for Ayanna's friends to hear, in their minds they thought Miguel thought it was crazy for him to sit next to an assistant, when in fact Miguel was commenting on the fact that Ayanna booked a whole restaurant just to talk.
"Miss Ayanna, I really don't think this is appropriate." Adrianna said in a quiet voice.
"Why? Cause of the rumors? Let me tell you this Adrianna, my brother has loved one and only one woman for the past eight years." Ayanna looked at her brother and winked.
Cedric simply sighed at his sister.
"Older brother really fell hard, didn't he?" Nicole teased. Although she was talking to Ayanna she was actually teasing Cedric in the other table.
Meantime Sofia, Julia, and Natasha were busy staring at the 4 princes and Eric Chan. Even if this was their second time meeting these men they were still in awe and very shy. What would you say or do when all of your idols somehow ended up in a private gathering with you? Their mind was mush.
Natasha was the first to regain her footing, she immediately whispered to Adrianna if they could take a photo with the boys.
"You ask them yourself." Adrianna too was too shy to ask.
"But Adri, you're the one Miss Ayanna invited out." Natasha reasoned.
Adrianna knew she wouldn't win this discussion with Natasha.
"Miss Ayanna -"
"Adri, don't call me miss. Just call me Ayanna please." Ayanna interrupted.
"Well, Ayanna, my friends were wondering if they could have their photo taken with, well, ummm…, the 4 princes and Mr. Eric Chan." Adrianna had no idea how she should refer to the 4 princes, so she took a while thinking on how to refer to them.
"Hey, boys!" Ayanna called.
The boys, except Cedric looked up.
"Adrianna's friends are asking if they could take a photo with you. You don't mind right?" Ayanna was already pulling Natasha towards the boys.
Since the girls didn't know who he was, Cedric was forced to talk to his friends and their sisters via messages.
Cedric Reyes: I am so lucky I don't have any fans. By the way, Natasha is part of every forum that talks about you.
Miguel Chan: I wonder how much of a shock it would be if they found out Eric was our older brother.
Nicole Chan: They'll say Eric is better looking than you.
Ray Laurence: Eric is better looking than you.
Cedric Reyes: This is why they think you are gay, Ray.
Ray Laurence: What! They think I'm what?
Ayanna Reyes: Come to think about it, isn't he?
Ayanna locked her phone and positioned Natasha, Sofia, and Julia in front of the boys. Cedric docked and avoided being part of the photo.
"Adrianna, don't you want to be in this photo too?" Julia called.
"No, I'll pass." Adrianna said with a laugh.
After taking a photo with their idols the girls relaxed a little bit.
"How about this guy?" Veronica said, passing her phone to Nicole.
"He's cute!" Nicole giggled.
"Anna, stop showing my sister photos of guys!" Miguel called from the other table.
"We're just looking." Katerina told Miguel.
"You're too much like your brother Katerina." Eric joked.
"Hey, Adrianna, aren't you a fan of Eric?" Ayanna asked.
Adrianna meekly nodded.
"Eric, come here and take a photo with Adrianna." Ayanna called him over.
Adrianna began to blush. Cedric was already glaring at Ayanna and Eric. Eric couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Why don't I take a photo and post it?" Eric said with a wink.
"Don't- you'll get dragged into the rumors about me!" Adrianna shook her head violently.
"Are you referring to the rumors that Mr. Reyes has a crush on you?" Eric asked.
"Eric-" Cedric hissed. Eric suddenly burst out laughing. It seemed none of the girls had heard Cedric.
Eric quickly took a selfie with Adrianna and posted it on his social media accounts. There was no caption, so Eric's fans began to speculate what the relationship was between him and Adrianna.
While they were eating Adrianna's friends became a bit more comfortable socializing with the sisters.
"Nicole here, she's always clueless, but don't let the stockholders find out about that. They think she's some terror female CEO from a novel." Katerina teased.
"Hey, I am not clueless. I just sometimes say stupid things." Nicole said in an attempt to save her name.
"Mark, Caleb, Fernando, David, who was the last one?" Katerina began to enumerate names.
"A- a- armando! The Italian!" Veronica teased.
"Boys?" Julia asked.
"Not just boys, Nicole's boys." Ayanna laughed.
"Wow. I didn't think Miss Nicole had dated so many boys. Why haven't we heard of this?" Natasha asked, as one of the biggest fans of this group she was surprised that she didn't know this detail.
"She never dated any of them." Katerina teased.
"Oh." Natalia was surprised.
"Why me?" Nicole said, shaking her head.
"Brother! I want his house. Please get it for me. Dad developed it!" Suddenly Ayanna who was scrolling on her phone shouted.
Everyone gave her an odd look and she blushed.
