When the man reached out to hold her hand, she quickly withdrew it and stared at him cautiously.
The man smiled awkwardly and leaned back. He then praised, “You are so beautiful, miss. If I had known this earlier, I would have met you before now.”
“Are you Maverick Clark?” Stella asked with a frown, unable to take it anymore.
The man furrowed his eyebrows.
“Who is Maverick Clark? I’m Acton Tucker, your date.”
Acton was pleasantly surprised that his date was not only hot but also had a lovely and delicate face.
The pictures she sent him didn’t do justice to how she looked in person.
Stella had never been more relieved when she realized that the man mistook her for someone else.
She reminded him politely, “Sir, I’m afraid you have got the wrong person. I’m not your date.”
She then stood up and grabbed her bag, ready to Leave.
But Acton had no intention to let her go just like that.

He grabbed her wrist and shouted, “What do you mean? Why are you lying that you are not my date? Are you looking down on me?”

Stella tried to pull away, but his grip was firm.
“Let me go!” she shouted, glaring at him.
Acton not only refused, but also tightened his grip on her wrist.
His long fingers pierced her skin.
He chuckled with self-mockery.
“I get that I might not be the most good-looking man, but you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. Fate has brought us together. So, let’s make the most of this night. I promise to make it worthwhile.”
Stella almost threw up when he winked at her. She repeated, “You’ve me mistaken for someone else. For Pete’s sake, let go of me or I’ll be forced to call the cops.”
“Is that a threat?” Acton’s face darkened. His eyes turned red.
He hated being threatened the most, especially by a woman. How could he accept such an insult?
He exerted more strength in his grip and yelled in her face, “See, I’m still holding onto you. What are you going to do about that?”
The noise attracted the attention of the other people in the cafe.
They saw what was happening, but no one dared to step in.
