Cyra left the party early. Butler Samson tagged along but she already dismissed him. She relaxed in a hot bathtub with roses as she sipped on her champagne. She tapped on the tablet checking the document that Tucker signed. It will only exist until the 31st of December. She rolled her eyes and tossed the tablet on the towels. She should've seduced him well. But she became occupied with things going on. 

 A knock on the door interrupted her deep thinking. 

​​

"What?" She asked coldly. 

"It's me," Tucker said. The door in her bathroom is a little open so Tucker can hear her clearly. 

"What do you want?" 

"Well, I set up everything for your new Butler." 

"I don't need new butler." 

"Why do you sound cranky?" He asked. 

 Cyra exhaled and shook her head. 

"I am relaxing and you just interrupted." 

"I apologize." 

"Dismiss the Butler. I don't need it." She said, sounding a little agitated. 

"Well, who is going to help you?" 

"I can do it myself." She answered as she sipped on her champagne. 

"If you say so. Do you need anything else before I leave?" 

"No." She said coldly. 

"Well, good night." 

"Or do you need anything from me?"

"None. I just want to say good night." 

"Odd," Cyra smirked. "By the way," 

"Hmm?"

"I saw your ex-fiancee here in the Philippines. I think she's searching for you. Does she know about the farm?" 

"Yes, I mentioned it but I didn't give her details on where it is located. So, you didn't research her?" 

"I know every detail about you, Tucker. I just happened to see your ex-fiancee that is currently here." 

"Well, I don't care about her whereabouts anymore, Lady Cyra." 

"Well, I was just warning you." She shrugged. "By the way, I didn't get any gifts for the twins. We are off shopping tomorrow." 

"Alright." 

"Just wear something casual so you wouldn't scare people." 

"Casual?" 

"Yes, or do you even have that in your wardrobe?" 

 Tucker chuckled. 

"Yes, Lady Cyra. Good night, again." 

 Cyra stood from the bathtub and took the silk robe. She put it one. The silk robe soaked on her wet body as it molds around her body and she came out. Tucker looked away and took the microfiber robe and put it on her. 

"You know that seducing me won't do." 

"Am I seducing you?" She raised her brows. 

"You are." He said without looking at her chest. "Good night." He bent down and kissed her forehead. Cyra watched him leave. 

<><><><> 

 At ten, the perfect time for shopping, Cyra ready everything she needed and where to go. She put her lipstick on and fixed her hair the way she always does. She put her dress on, with a low neckline. She looked at Tucker who was waiting for her as he read on the tablet patiently. She took her purse and called him. 

 He followed her outside and he drove the car to where she wanted it. It's an hour's drive from the shopping palace. She searched for the shop that she needed to go to. Tucker followed her like a bodyguard. She rolled her eyes and reached his hand. 

"Now, you don't look like a bodyguard this time." She mumbled. Tucker smiled but she didn't look at him so she wouldn't see that grin. 

"Cyra, just say if you wanted my hand intertwined to you." 

 She rolled her eyes. Tucker lifted her hand and she stopped walking. He intertwined his hand with her and smiled. 

"There," He said. 

"Stop flirting at me." She said and they continued walking. 

"I wasn't flirting until you mentioned it." He teased. "You are not used to someone flirting with you?" 

"Yes," 

"But you are used to seducing them?" 

"No." She mumbled. "I am seducing you." 

"Wow," He grinned. "I wish that you do."

"You wish?" She glanced up at him. 

"Yes," He said. "Who wouldn't fall in love with someone smart or more like a genius? You are beautiful, intelligent, talented, and kind." 

"How can you say that I am kind? I wasn't kind at all. Kindness is something that people rarely had." 

"Everyone had their kindness. But differently." 

"Yeah, whatever." 

"You donate every month to a few orphanages." He said. "Isn't that kindness?" 

"No, that's just something that we do."

"You are compassionate, but you never show it." 

"I prefer people to intimidate me than awed me because I am compassionate." She said and dragged him to a camera store. She checked a few cameras and took the latest ones with a Polaroid freebie of Polaroid and set off it. 

"Polaroids are best for the ladies." He said. 

"It's classic and it's good." She mumbled and tested the cameras to Tucker. 

"Why do you buy late gifts for them?" 

"I have to make sure that they won't give the same gift to those two. It'll be a waste." 

"Hmm," 

 He took the paper bags for the cameras and they left the store. 

"What gift do you want me to give you?" 

"The world." She said casually. Tucker chuckled. 

"The world?" 

"Yes, that one is hard to get." 

"I might not give you the world, but I can give you a globe." He said. She laughed and shook her head. 

"Are you serious right now? That's your best joke ever?" 

"I wasn't joking. But I'm happy that it makes you laugh." He said and patted her head. "Well, what else do you want to visit?" He asked. 

"Kiss me." She said. 

"What?" He momentarily felt deaf. She tiptoed and pulled his nape. "Lady Cyra, what you are doing is dangerous." 

"How dangerous?" 

 He pulled her back close to him and he tilted his head and kissed her passionately. This time it wasn't a pack. This time, it includes the suction, tongue, and more like a French kiss. Cyra opened her eyes while they were kissing. Her eyes targeted the woman who looked pissed seeing them kissing. She closed her eyes again and enjoyed the kiss. 

 Tucker felt a little dizzy after that kiss. He looked around where people were watching them. He hid his face under the baseball cap that he's wearing and reached her hand, following her on wherever she wanted to go. She didn't mention the kiss after. 

"Was that for real?" he suddenly asked. 

"Yes," She said casually. "You can sleep in my room tonight." 

"No. I'm not gonna do that." 

"Why not?" She looked up at him and chose a men's shirt. She lifted it in front of him. 

"Lady Cyra, I don't need new clothes." 

"It's Christmas and this year will end soon. You need to change a little bit. Stop being too formal." 

 He smiled and approached her. 

"You know what? You win," He kissed her right cheek. She smiled at him and she turned it into a sexy smirk. "I'm paying for it." 

"Okay," She chose a few clothes and gave them to him. 

 She glanced at the woman who entered the boutique and she told the sales lady to pack it up beautifully. So, while he's paying for it. She sat on the sofa to relax a little bit. The woman approached Tucker. Cyra tilted her head as she watched as the woman pulled Tucker telling him that she's sorry for everything. 

 Tucker took the paper bags. 

"Tucker, please. Talk to me." 

"Arleen," Tucker patiently sighed. "I don't want to speak with you. I am with Lady Cyra." He mumbled and brushed him off as he approached Lady Cyra. She stood gracefully and picked up her paper bag. 

"Tucker," Arleen called and Cyra put her hand on his arm. 

"Let's go. I'm quite hungry." Cyra told him. 

 He nodded and took her outside the shop. They ignored Arleen and Cyra glanced at her with a smirk. The girl is after him because he has a lot of money. The girl is after him to make it up thinking that Tucker still loves her. But she cheated and betrayed Tucker. Now that Cyra likes Tucker, she won't let anyone have him but her. She can be a possessive alpha and a spoiled brat but once she lay her eyes on something, she'll have it. 

"Don't you ever let her touch you again!" Cyra mumbled. Tucker grinned at her. 

"Are you jealous?" 

"No, I simply don't want anyone to touch something that belongs to me." 

"You sound so selfish." He said. 

"Yes, and I don't care." He kissed her top head. "I'm sorry. So, what do you want to eat?" 

"I'm up for Aunt Ellen's restaurant." She answered as she pulled out her phone. 

"Okay," He nodded. 

"You have to be my date until your contract ended." She said formally like it's a job for him to do so. 

"Don't you want us to date after the contract ends?" 

"You said that you'll be on your farm, and I'll be here on the mainland to do my research." 

"Hmm, I can visit you if you want." 

"No. Don't mind it. I have other things to do." 

 Tucker brought her to her Aunt Ellen's restaurant in the mall. Once they placed their order, he peered out the glass wall and thought about Arleen. Cyra reached his chin and turned it to her. 

"Are you still planning to go after your ex?"
