They sat down and ordered several dishes. She started eating without saying anything. Alexander looked at the young girl who kept eating and bulging her cheeks with interest. After seeing the food, she behaved as if no one else was around. Her appetite made him eat more than he is used to. The assistant at the other table was even shocked.
After finishing her meal, she bulged and cleaned her hands before looking at him." Well you still look handsome and weak. Just like my pet." She laughed noticing such a grown man blushing because of her words.
" Well , and you have grown cuter than the last time." He noticed her bowing down to hide her reaction.
" Okay I don't have much time, ask your questions."
" Can I know your name please? Mine is Alexander Luke but you can call me Alex."
" Well am Robinah Gray, but I prefer you call me Robinah and forget about Gray." He noticed her disgust for the name Gray.
" Okay Robinah, but can I call you Robby?"
She was amazed by how sweet it sounded coming from him.
" Okay."
" Alright, I am twenty one years old this year and I know you are still fifteen years old this year but I still want to promise you marriage." He said looking intently at her blushing face.
" Who wants to marry you?" She retorted . She remembered making him promise her marriage just because he was good looking. In the previous life, she remembered him until the Gray family started feeding her pregnancy hormones. They interfered with her memory and body. That is why she forgot him. Now that she thought of it, it seems he had been misled by the Gray family to believe it was Jessica who saved him. Maybe he learned the truth later and that is why he came to her rescue.
Looking at the small girl lost in thoughts with a burrowed brow, he decided to tease her." Is it that am no longer handsome or you think you are still young?"
" Of course you are handsome." Closing her mouth ,she realized she had been tricked." Anyway I won't marry you." She huffed.
" Well, you have to keep your promise to me or I will go tell your grandma."
Hearing him mention her grandmother, she looked at him angrily. Her grandmother was her bottom line. After getting her name, Alexander had asked his assistant to look into her information and had just received it. He noticed her grandmother was her weakness since she had decided to run away with her grandmother from the Gray family. He had to investigate what the Gray family had done to make her hate them and run away. He remembered her telling him she keeps grudges.
" I hope you don't try to go after people that will make me kill you." Gnashing her teeth, she uttered.
Noticing she was really angry, he took a step back. " Sorry, but am serious about my promise, I will wait for you to attain your legal age before we register our marriage, but I would like to get to know you before then." He waited for her to give a response. She had been silent for almost five minutes.
" Let me think about it." She finally responded. She had to give it more thinking. Although she was strong , she needed help to deal with the Gray family. But she still had to act tough and not seem cheap and easily swayed.
" Okay, leave me your contact and address. I will give you three days . Till then let's keep in touch." He agreed knowing he couldn't push her too much lest he ends up pushing her away from him.
After exchanging contact information, they parted ways. She had to rush back home to prepare lunch for her grandmother. She might be worried about her since she had taken long to come back.
Inside the black sedan, Alexander instructed his assistant to look into the Gray family as soon as possible. The hatred he saw was too much for the young girl to bear alone. He had to help. He also decided to rent an apartment in the same area. He just couldn't stay away. His heart was moved. Seeing her different expressions made him intrigued. He wanted to get to know more about her. Something about her gave him peace of mind.
The rest of the day was uneventful. Robinah bought some necessary school materials and prepared for the start of campus life. She had missed going to university in the previous life. Her grandmother had begged her but she still gave up everything for the Gray family. Now that she had a second chance, she wouldn't disappoint the people who cared about her. Thinking of the Gray family, she hacked into their company's website and left them some misleading clues to keep them busy. She was still enjoying her peaceful life . After at most a month, then the materials for the fight will be ready. If she guessed right, they would send Jessica abroad by that time.
"The Gray family should enjoy their good days while they last." She thought looking at the happy smile on her grandmother's face. She had noticed her joyful mood since they came to Nine city.She would not let anything wipe that smile off her face no matter the price she had to pay.

Alexander acted fast and bought all the apartments near Robinah's area and moved into the one opposite theirs. His assistant couldn't believe it.
" Are you sure about this sir?" After much hesitation, he finally asked the question that had been disturbing his mind.
" Do I need permission from you Jason?" Alexander was angry with his meddling. He always treated Jason as his friend but he won't allow him meddle in his personal affairs.
" Am sorry Alexander." He apologized realising he had stepped out of boundary.
They arranged everything and settled in. If someone had told him that Alexander will leave all his villas to come stay in a two bedroom apartment, he wouldn't believe it. Infact, if he told someone about it, no one would believe him. Jason couldn't understand Alexander's move this time.
