So, Who Is the Lucky Girl?
Alexander Arlan Ainsley POV
One hour and fifty minutes later,
"So, who is the lucky girl?"
I heard the question from one of my good friends. He sat on the sofa opposite, while I drank the coffee that had been set out on the table. I just glanced at Francois and when I finished drinking the coffee, I put the cup back in its original place.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
"Her name is Arletta McDowell." I answered Francois' question calmly, even though I felt the opposite inside. What was that girl doing? I was very curious.
I would rather tell the truth, since Francois had more experience with women. I saw his expression of astonishment. Well, I could not blame him because I had never felt anything like this with any woman. "When did you guys meet? I never heard you mention that girl's name before."
Francois did not seem to believe that I could like a woman. This did not mean that I did not like the opposite sex, but most of them just wanted money, and I hated such nasty actions. Nowadays, men and women have to work to survive, and a man is not an ATM for a woman. I did not need a gold digger.
"I met with Arletta a few hours earlier."
"What?! That's how fast your feelings for her grew?" Francois' look of confusion became clearer and clearer. I knew my friend would be shocked, but I was also in disbelief. Arletta has an extraordinary charm, so a man like me could be attracted to her.
"Yeah. So, what should I do? What should I do with Arletta?"
I did not like small talk, so it was better to get to the point. Francois paused and then looked at me strangely. I did not care about his point of view because the most important thing was that I could know how to deal with Arletta. Afterward, I could make her fall in love, and then we could be together soon, even living in my penthouse.
"Why are you in such a hurry? My suggestion is that you must find out anything about her." Francois shook his head a few times and I knew it was true, but I had already told Louis to investigate the McDowell family, so there should be no problem planning a future with Arletta.
"Do not worry about that. Without you telling me to, I have already done that. You have not answered my question yet."
I did not come here to do anything useless. Time is money. Francois massaged his forehead while I observed what he was doing with some annoyance. Hopefully, he would give me the information I needed because I did not know how to attract a girl properly.
"What do you want to know, by the way? Be specific to your question."
Great! I am glad Francois said so, so I will not hesitate to tell him what I need.
"What should I do to get close to Arletta? She already has a lover and I want to have her as a whole."
Francois exhaled heavily. I waited for his comment with a flat stare.
"Well, Dude. I do not know what happened between you, but she must be a special girl to have made you like this," he said, confused. "Before approaching her, you should get to know Arletta's character first, so you do not make the wrong move, because every girl is different."
I stayed silent as I listened to Francois' explanation. Meanwhile, he stared at my face for a while, as if he was unsure of what he wanted to tell me.

"I have met dozens, ahem hundreds of women so far. Most of them are not serious and just want money, but Arletta might not be. If I am not mistaken, she is Rayner McDowell. Am I right?" asked Francois, curiously. "Yes, you are right. She is Rayner McDowell's daughter. When we met, Arletta showed no interest at all," I replied, confirming his original question. Yeah, she really intrigued me!
"Great. Rayner is a business owner, so his children probably do not lack money and they do not need anyone to support their finance." Francois spoke while nodding occasionally. I continued to listen to his words and hoped that what my friend said was true.
"My advice is that in addition to knowing her character, you can find out about what she likes, especially where Arletta works. You can go there and act like a customer, but do not be too brutal."
I frowned when I heard Francois' last sentence. "What do you mean 'do not be too brutal'? Do I look like a sex criminal?"
As soon as possible, I remembered that I kissed Arletta in the elevator without her consent. I did not give a fuck with that, because the important thing was that she could be mine!
"Do not get me wrong. Being too brutal is you approaching that woman in a hurry. You can come to Arletta's workplace periodically, either once a week or every day and depending on where she works. It is even better if your girl works in a restaurant, so when you go there for lunch or dinner, and no one is suspicious, because it is a normal act."
Francois' idea earlier seemed to make sense. I hoped Letta worked in a restaurant. I would definitely do what he suggested so that I could approach the girl I liked more smoothly. Hopefully, Arletta and I will get closer in the future so that we can be together.
"Besides that, is there anything else I should do to get her?" I asked again because Francois' experience was very useful for me, who had never approached a woman. I did not want to fail!
"Give Arletta a gift, but without the sender's name. Let her be curious about it." Francois made another suggestion, and I thought it was a good one. A gift? After getting the information from Louis, I would probably look for some nice things. I felt something was missing from my friend's explanation, and suddenly, an idea came to mind.

"Would it be good if I put the initials of my first name on each gift? She may not know about my identity, but the initials should be there, so that it will be memorable and stick in Arletta's mind."
Francois paused, then nodded. "You can do that. Your current idea was great. For gifts, give her things she needs like bags, shoes, and dresses, but it can be other things. You just have to customize it."
"Thanks. Besides gifts, do you have any more suggestions? I want Arletta and her boyfriend's relationship to break up."
I did not want my girl to have a special relationship with any man except me. Francois seemed to think, then he seemed to get a new idea again.
"You just send a loving message inside each gift. Do not use your own handwriting, it can be dangerous. Every time you want to send these things, then do not forget to tell the staff at the store to give you a card with your message. Put your initial name too."
"I will do that. Do you have any advice for me?"
Francois held his chin with a serious expression. Silence fell between us. I had memorized all my friends' messages. All of his opinions were valuable because they were true and reasonable. I have to move forward so that Arletta will not be owned by another man, and that can't happen!
"How about you watch her every day? But do not get caught."
What did he say? I must keep an eye out for her without getting caught? How can I do that? It was impossible! "What do you mean? Do not talk out of your ass!"
"I mean, you could try this method-"
