Chapter 3
“I’m here for Mr. Briecher…”Ezekiel told her, but the girl didn’t hear anything because it just stunned her, and What what she did to herself. Suddenly his blood boiled D*mn! He dropped his hand on the table and glared at the maiden.
“I’m asking you damn lady! does Mr. Briechier aroun! “Her shout echoed in the four corners of the room, the girl was startled and scared of because of him, because of the way he was shouting.
“What’s happening here?” a voice coming from behind Ezequiel, he stood up properly and rearranged the suit before he faced the man with grapefruit eyes. “Ezequiel, did you just come here to cause trouble?” He asked with an angry smile.
“Shut up you assh*le!” Ezequiel shouted at him and entered his office first. Dwight just laughed and followed the friend.
“So, what do you want from me and you go here at my office, then you rebuking my secretary?” Dwight asked when it could enter his office, he sat on his swivel chair. he looked at Ezequiel who was just looking outside, Dwight’s office was at the very top and glass served as its wall so they could see the scene outside. “I heard you’re having an affair with a woman, is that true?” he asked and smiled angrily, Ezequiel looked at him with a narrow brow. “I’m just asking, you know ..” he added and the smile spread on his lips.
“Interesting? Tsk! I’m not, and I have a words!” he replied and glared at him, but Dwight just laughed out loud which made him even more annoyed. He stood up and was about to come out when Dwight stopped him.
“Wait, where are you going? You haven’t said your purpose yet.” He promised, Ezequiel faced him and raised his brow.
“I change my mind… coming here is a big mistake…” he replied and left.
So he went to Dwight so that he could have peace of mind, so that he could forget about the woman who had always been bothering him, since last night. the elevator was about to close when one hand blocked it so that it wouldn’t close completely, so the elevator opened again and the face of his friend Dwight was exposed to him.
Gianna is getting ready for their meeting with her mommy’s client. She wears a Bangkok crop and paired with a high waist fitted jeans and a stiletto. Her hair is tied in a pony tail, she look herself in the mirror. She just frowned when she saw her eyebags. Ugh! curse that alcohol!
She immediately picks her concealer and smears her eyebags. “Perfect!” He looked at himself again and sighed, he blew the other strands of his hair that covered his eyes. “Well, almost perfect if I’m not tired today ..” she sigh again and pick her things, when she opened her phone. Her jaw drop when she saw the time. “Oh no! It’s late!” he said that it meant that he was late and he was sure that he would be upset with Mother when he found out, he immediately left his room.
“Good afternoon Sir ..” greeted the staff at Virgo Restaurant, “this way sir ..” it guided him to a place that was quiet and not too crowded, perfect for meetings.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“Has anyone come here yet?” He asked a receptionist who guided him. “No sir …” was his polite answer. He looked at her arm and saw that it was close to 3. “Okay thank you .. you can now leave ..” He said, the girl nodded and left.
“Doesn’t it know that every hour of mine is important ?!” this question annoyed as he looked back and forth at his arm.
Gianna QUICKLY parked her car, before she got out she fixed herself first. “Hoo!” He took a deep breath to calm himself who had been restless with nervousness. he got out of his car and went inside the restaurant. He was immediately greeted by a waiter with his menu.
“Good afternoon ma’am, table for how many?” he immediately asked her, looking around and seeming to be looking for someone, when he turned to face the young man. “I’m here for a business meeting, has anyone arrived yet?” He asked here.
“Yes ma’am, he’s been here for a while …” he said “this way ma’am …” he added and started to walk, Gianna was hesitant whether he would follow here or not. but she still chooses the first one, she followed the waiter until the end, only a few are here so she is perfect for meetings. She gulp every second when she sees the bolt of a man behind them. he remembered what Mother said, that she doesn’t like late comers .. is it my fault !? Eh I fell asleep!
The waiter motioned for him to come here. As he approached his steps became heavier and heavier. his heart was pounding so hard that almost everyone could hear it, and he was sweating from the cold. He was already behind it when the young man spoke in a cold voice which made him stop.
“I hate late comers! You don’t know that I’ve waited here for 1 f*cking hours!?!” its cry so he bowed in fear. She bite her lower lip in nervousness.
“So-Sorry .. I fell asleep ..” he replied, he just looked at the two pairs of shoes approaching him as a reason to push him back.
“Sleep !? What a lame excuses !!” he shouted again, his chest throbbing even more when he smelled its scent. No way! No freaking way !! It couldn’t be him! Yeah, that’s not him maybe they just smell the same! Convincing himself. He was startled when he suddenly shouted again. Damn this man! “Show you f*cking face to me! What I don’t want at all is that I won’t look good !!”
Earlier, Ezequiel held back his anger, and was especially annoyed and the girl had not looked at him. He doesn’t understand but this woman in front of him makes him aroused and only a woman can do it. so he wanted to see its face to stop what had been bothering his mind before.
Gianna slowly lifted her face as she closed her eyes. As much as possible, she didn’t want to see the young man in front of her. Ezequiel just looked at the girl, when she finally raised her face, he didn’t know if he would be happy because he saw her again or angry because the girl was here again to disturb his world. “Open your d*mn eyes! You look like a f*cking crazy!” He sighed here. gianna opened her eyes, as she opened her eyes her pair of blue eyes opened up to her. Her throat immediately went dry because of the way she was staring at him that almost undressed her. F*ck!
“Sh-Shall we start the me- meeting …” Gianna said nervously and left in front of Ezequiel. Ezequiel’s forehead furrowed even more as his gaze followed Gianna’s. Why is she hurrying? Doesn’t it want to be with me? D*mnit!
Without hesitation, Ezequiel sat down in front of Gianna. “Are you avoiding me?” He asks coldly, no emotion you can see on his face. Gianna gulp before she raises her head and faces him awkwardly. D*mn! Who wouldn’t avoid you ?! “Me?” She points herself, “No no no, why am I avoiding you? Ha ha!” she added, but Ezequiel’s eyes just glared at her.
LONG before the end of their meeting, because Gianna is not very comfortable especially the way Ezequiel looks at her that brings her goosebumps. After a long meeting, Gianna quickly put the papers away and put them in an envelope. Ezekiel just watched him, watching his every move while folding his arms. He was startled when Ezequiel suddenly struck the table.
“Can we talk?” He asked the girl coldly, as he looked at her intently. Gianna’s eyes suddenly rolled because she really didn’t want to be with the young man, because when she was with him she would feel the unfamiliar feeling. whenever the young man was close to him he could feel the speed of his heartbeat, and a strong electricity flowing through his skin when he touched it. Come on Gianna! It’s because your in love to him Saad of his mind. In love? She? That’s impossible! Gianna suddenly laughed because she thought she was frowning at Ezequiel. “Are you laughing at me?” This irritated question so Gianna stopped laughing and looked at Ezequiel who was staring at her darkly. Only then did he realize the embarrassment he had caused. because of his thoughts, he forgot that he was with someone. And what the h*ck! She just laughed in front of Ezequiel like a crazy !! D*mnit! That was embarrassing !!
She arranged for us and composed herself, she even cleared her throat. “Me?” he pointed to himself “laughing at you?” He pointed at Ezequiel “why would I do that? Ha ha ha .. I have to go ..” he said and immediately left in front of Ezequiel, he took long steps just to get out of this place. she was about to open the door of her car when someone stopped her and violently confronted her. Even before Gianna could recover from the shock, Ezequiel’s kiss immediately crushed her. He gave Gianna a passionate kiss as if he was eager to kiss her. he simply bite the lower lip of Gianna to give him access to enter his tounge. “Hmm ..” Gianna almost lost her strength so Ezequiel picked her up and sat her on the hood of her car without cutting her kisses. Gianna wrap her arms around Ezequiel’s neck and deepen the kisses.
they no longer care where they are, as long as they know. They like what there doing. Gianna came back to her senses when Ezequiel’s hand started roaming in her body, she pushed Ezequiel away from her, not even vigorously but their bodies were far enough apart. she immediately got off the hood and immediately opened the door of her car. She leaned the backrest of her seat while rubbing her nape. What the hell just happened !? He slapped himself and pulled out his hair. luckily her car’s windshield is tinted so she can’t see outside what madness she’s doing.
Ezequiel’s face flushed as he watched Gianna’s car drive away from the restaurant. He has also been depreciated several times while walking. D*mnit Ezequiel! focus on your goal not on that seductive woman!
He stopped walking when his phone rang. So he snatched it from his pocket and answered the call without checking the caller’s name. “What ?!” He asked irritatedly and because he was so annoyed his eyebrows were almost together. “Is that how you talk to your mother?” Question on the other line. Suddenly the expression on his face changed and he quickly looked at the caller’s ID. He was just stunned when he realized, it was his mom calling. “Mom ?!” he exclaimed, because his mother only called once, especially if he had something important to say or an emergency, so he was surprised because he called.
“Yes! It’s me? Who else?” He said out of annoyance, “I called you because I want to remind you something ..”Ezequiel was suddenly taken aback when he remembered what his mom said to him before. His mother wanted Ezequiel to get married because she wanted to see her grandson before he left the world. “Mom, we already talked about that …” Ezequiel moaned, he really didn’t want to marry someone else, that’s because he left a promise.
“Joaquin, you’re not getting younger .. you’re 29 years old for pete’s sake yet I still haven’t heard that you’re dating again .. son, I just want to see my grandchildren before I disappear ..” Ezequiel sigh heavily , she really wants him to get married. his mom was right, he would never bear it again, and it would soon pass the calendar as well.
He sighs again, when will Mother stop him from trying to get married? “Mom, don’t say that .. you live longer okay ..”ezequiel really loves his mom, but he can’t do what he wants to have a family with.
“Son, I’m old enough to live .. and we can’t predict the time .. I want when I get there in the Philippines you introduce me to someone .. I’ll hang up now, take care son .. I love you. ” he was just so scratchy in his senses. Why is mommy so naughty? “I love you too Mom, I will ..” he replied and end the call.
He sigh again, and again, Now what? Where would I found a girl to pretend as my girlfriend?
“So, that’s the woman you’re crazy about? I wonder why ..”Ezequiel was surprised when someone suddenly spoke behind him, when he turned his back he saw Dwight grinning like a lunatic and simply looked at the car that was just leaving.
“F*ck off !! And what are you doing in here !?” He shouted and pocketed his cellphone. but Dwight just shrug his shoulder and smiled foolishly.
“My man! No wonder if you’re the first to get married, you’re great ha, I want a man hahahahaha ..” he said and ran away to avoid Ezequiel’s kick. D*mn! Why did I have crazy friends!
gIANNA lay down on her bed, she had been lying down before but drowsiness didn’t really visit her, and every time she closed her eyes she remembered what happened a while ago. Ugh! This is to much !! That d*mbass! Ugh!
He rolled over on his bed until there was a knock causing him to fall. “Ouch!” He rubbed his hip and slowly stood up. “Coming!” He shouted and stomped to the door. F*ck!
“Miss Monroe, your mom is in the line she wants to talk to you ..” Tinna said, and give the telephone to her. “Thanks ..”
She put the telephone near her ear, “Yes Mom?” he said and sat on his bed.
“How’s the meeting?” This question, Gianna sighed and rolled her eyes. Not good!
“It went well mom .. don’t worry.” She replied, even though he wanted to say that the outcome was not good because he saw the person he did not want to see. “That’s good .. anyway be ready yourself, I’ll fetch you there, a friend invited me for dinner ..” anito and end the call. Oh great! I thought I could rest! D*mnit! She lazily got up and fix herself, she have no choice but to follow her mom. Ugh!
***
GIANNA had almost run out of clothes in the search but still had no choice. Argghh! She ruffled her hair and stared at her cellphone ringing. She immediately picks her phone and checks the caller, but her forehead creases when she finds out that it was her manager.
“Bonjour M. Boreau .. is their something wrong?” Gianna asked, Boreau is her manager in France, half Filipino, half French It’s just like her. So he wonders why It called him.
“Nothing’s happened but, I have something to tell you .. i know you are on leave pero kasi this is important, I can’t trust the other models na magawa ito successfully .. ikaw lang ang pinagkakatiwalaan ko .. S’il vous plaît faites-moi une faveur pwede bang ikaw na lang ang maging model in a fashion clothing line? It’s also a pity because if we reject them, they will pay a lot of money eh .. “this is a long story .. Gianna scratched her forehead and sighed ..
