Lily Flowers for Prince

53. Should I be like Lily?

"They're here" Luisa covered her face with a bag. Try not to be seen by Rico who goes into the cafe where he sits.

"Why are you, anyway? from earlier it was really strange" Rakha looked at Luisa greget.

Luisa placed an index finger on her lips. "Ssssst don't be noisy".

He peeked out from behind the bag towards Rico and Wini.

Rakha followed Luisa's eyes.

A man and a woman were sitting on a desk chair in the corner of the room. She looks like Lily.

I think he knows that woman. Rakha tries to remember her but forgets where she once saw her.

"Do you know that guy?" ask Luisa to Rakha.

"No. But it seems like he is very rich" Rakha replied. He looked at the man closely.

"He's Rico Hoover. The CEO of the Hoover Group. He is also the son of the owner of the Blue Planet Club" Luisa whispered.

Rakha widened his eyes. He's young, probably the same age as her but why is he so rich.

"He was born rich" Luisa whispered again. It was as if he knew what was on Rakha's mind.

"Do you like him?" ask Rakha. Luisa nodded.

"But she doesn't like me" Luisa hissed. Rakha laughed

"That's a pity, you" Rakha saw Luisa's pity.

Luisa clucked in annoyance. Because he knew Rakha was just pretending to pity him.

"Actually what I liked a long time ago was his friend, Ran Curtis. Brand owner Curtis Fashion. But Ran Curtis never once glanced at me. He even married an innocent-faced girl" Luisa said.

"Then I tried to get Rico Hoover, but he was the same. Not interested in me."

Rakha looked quickly. " Ran Curtis? Her husband's Lily Flower?"

"You know him?" Luisa astonishedly looked at Rakha.

"I know Lily. Once there was cooperation with his office first" Rakha replied not telling the truth.

"Now look at the woman who was with Rico Hoover. He looks like Ran Curtis' wife. Why the hell they both love ordinary and innocent-faced girls. It's so strange" Luisa grumbled in annoyance. He watched Wini closely.

"Maybe it's because they're good women" Rakha said.

"So you think I'm no good?" Luisa grunting.

"You think for yourself" Rakha chuckled.

"Hehehe.right" Luisa laughed.

"Rico Hoover threatened me if he dared to disturb Ran Curtis and Lily. Lily is his sister. Probably cousin. Because the face is not similar at all". Luisa looked at the two shopping bags that Rico had been carrying. He even brought it to the woman.

"Are you able to act like the meek Lily and never get angry?"

"It looks like you're pretty familiar with Lily, huh?" Luisa looked at Rakha curiously.

Rakha simply replied with a laugh.

"Don't you ever like Lily" Luisa sneered. Rakha laughed again.

"Yes, I really like Lily. Honey, I have to marry Dina. Otherwise, I might be Lily's husband" Rakha said.

"The thing is, Lily won't like you. Can you compete with Ran Curtis?" Luisa held back her laughter. Rakha's words were very clear just a joke.

Rakha scratched his head. No need to be asked about competing with Ran Curtis. Everyone can answer that too. He has no fingernails Ran. As Dina said, Lily the rich businessman's son was definitely only worthy of rich men as well. Not a poor man like him.

Rakha sighed. He feels very sad. For two years she's been living off Lily's money. Even the clothes and shoes she was wearing right now were bought with money from Lily. But how else. Lily has a lot of money. Seems unused. It's a shame it's not used. Moreover, the monthly allowance from her Papa alone is very much. Not to mention his salary from PT. The Earth King at that time. How unfair the world is. On the one hand people like Lily are almost as much money and like they don't need it. On the other hand, he didn't even have that kind of money but needed it most.

Rakha rubbed his face in a huff. She's emotional if she remembers that she lost Lily when she almost got it all.

She recalled Dina's words on the phone, saying that Lily had a voice recording of the incident when she took Lily away in her online taxi. Then Lily recorded it at the time. But if Lily wanted to report it, she should have done it. That was four months ago, when Lily wasn't married.

"So I have to start being gentle, Kha. So that men like Ran Curtis and Rico Hoover like me" said Luisa disperse Rakha's daydream.

"What was last night with you to a less wealthy club?" ask Rakha.

Luisa sighed, then leaned her head against Rakha's shoulder.

"You know, besides he's old. He also married. I'm just his mistress" Luisa replied slowly.

"Sometimes I'm tired of being a mistress. I want to be single, young and really love me. Or not old. The important thing is being single and sincerely loving to me. And it must be enough for my life" Luisa said expectantly. His eyes glared towards the ceiling of the cafe which was filled with flower decorations.

"It seems a bit difficult to make it happen if you play only on the blue planet. Maybe you should find a new place to play. Maybe the nursing home is where a lot of rich old men are single" Rakha replied. Luisa pushes Rakha's body down from the chair.

Rakha laughed at Luisa's irritation.

"You say it's okay. As long as they are single and rich. Yes there are many"

Luisa throttled her lips.

"If you want a young and almost single, I get the criteria. But I am not rich and not necessarily sincerely dear to you" Rakha continued. Luisa hit Rakha's back upset.

"Why don't you have the slightest empathy with what I feel" Luisa again sipped iced coffee. Then glanced at Rico and Wini's table again.

"What makes me empathize with you? you are not in trouble. I see you hepi hepi only. Live in a luxury penthouse, a mini cooper car, every day have fun. You're just a dream too high" Rakha sneered at Luisa.

They were friends for a long time. Besides being at the club. They used to join the same agency. But because it always fails when casting for the main role, Rakha gives up and decides to leave the agency. Luisa still survives today. Although the role she got was still just a small role in the soap opera or advertisement. The last time they worked together was when they were both part of a movie project. But the film has not been released until now. I don't know what it is.

Luisa looked back at Rico and Wini who were talking.

He could see the affectionate look in Rico's eyes to the woman in front of him. So sincere. Just like Ran Curtis's gaze to Lily. As a woman, she wants to be looked at like that by men who love her.
