CHAPTER 16

Two months later

*Ring*

She picked up the phone. "Silvetti holdings corporations, how may I help you?" She said pinning the phone in-between her shoulder and ear and typing on the computer.

"Get my private jet ready now and prepare yourself, you're coming with me on a business trip," the husky voice said aloofly and hung up. She just stared at the phone before being snapped out of her daze as Lacey flicked her finger.

"Dalia what happened," Lacey asked worriedly.

"Damnit," She cursed seething.

"Dalia, just tell me what happened this time."

She explained to Lacey who consoled her. "How can he inform you on short notice?"

"Well he's my boss after all, I've got to do it now if you'd excuse me, I have a jet to prepare."

After preparing his jet, she went to inform him. "Sir, your private jet has been prepared and ready to leave," she said and eyed the man behind the desk.

"I don't think I can go with you sir, I didn't have time to pack my things," she said in a somewhat indignant tone.

He glared at her coldly. "It is not up to you to decide whether you get to go or not, when I say you are going with me" he added in a menacing tone, "then you are going with me."

"But-."

"Get out!" He ordered and she clenched her hands. Gritting her teeth, she left in anger.

"Jerk," she slumped on her chair and cursed him.

Few hours later

They were seated in the private jet as it got ready for take off. He sat adjacent to her while working on his laptop. She was looking out the window of the jet as it ascended. Mateo glanced at her and noticed her fidgeting with the hem of her skirt. "Scared of flying?" He asked, deliberately teasing her.

"N-n-no, I am not scared," she replied in a rather timid tone.

He chuckled softly, "I didn't know my ferocious PA is scared of flying," he mocked.

"This wouldn't have happened if you had the right sense to leave me behind."

She was becoming more fidgety as the jet rose to full height. Her breaths came out in wheezes. Hell no, not my asthma, she thought.

Mateo noticed how red her face had become, he panicked when he heard her wheezing. "M-m-my in-ha-haler," she wheezes dangerously. He searched her bag anxiously and handed her the inhaler. She inhaled twice before she could catch her breath.

"This is all your fault," she screamed at him as he rubbed and drew circles on her back.

"Now, now, calm down, you just got out of an attack," he said in a soothing voice. If anyone were to see what was happening now, they'd be thunderstruck. She noticed his hands on her back, it tingled her body that she did not like.

"I am okay," she said in a bid to get his hand off her. He ignored her and continued rubbing. Dalia saw this action and glared at him.

"I said I'm okay...."

He covered her lips with his and for a moment everything seemed to freeze. "Uhmm," she struggled and tried to push his chest but it only made him tighten his grip. Mateo continued kissing her till they ran out of breath. He released her from his grip and they stared at each other.

"Good day ladies and gentlemen, we have arrived at our destination, Italy, buckle yourselves for landing." She averted her gaze and blushed hard, he went back to his seat and picked his phone. She glanced at him, unable to talk.

Why is he acting as if nothing happened? She thought.

She glanced at him again before turning away. He was aware of the glances she threw at him. Few minutes ago, she was talking nonstop and her plump lips were distracting him. He had no other choice than to silence her and he chose this method. A method he liked.

The jet finally landed and they got out. His chauffeur led them to a very expensive car which they got in and the chauffeur drove them away.

Dalia's POV

••••••••••••••••

"WOW." I breathed out as the chauffeur drove into a magnificent manor.

"Magnificent, isn't it?" Came a deep baritone voice beside me, feeling all high and mighty.

"Aye, it is splendid."

The chauffeur parked the car in the garage and we got out. "Welcome president Silvetti," the servants greeted him as he walked in with me following his footsteps.

"Assign someone to show Miss Banks to her room and take care of her things," he said to one of the maids who I think is the head of maids. "Yes, president Silvetti," the elderly woman bowed as he walked past.

"Leslie!!"

"Yes ma'am," came a high pitched voice rudely. A beautiful pale skinned lady wearing a maid uniform came out, her long auburn hair was tied in a bun and the uniform was so short that it only reached her mid thigh.

I frowned inwardly.

"Please lead Miss Banks to her room and take care of her things," the old lady said and retreated back into the room.

She snorted and scanned me bitchily.

"Wow, so you are another of his fuck buddy, aren't you?" She sneered. I raised a brow and walked towards her intimidatingly.

"I should be the one saying that, Judging by your looks and manner, you're one desperate whore," I smiled seeing how red her face had become. "Now if you have any sense left in your..." I gestured at her head, "you'd show me to my room."

She gritted her teeth and stomped away. I followed right behind her.

We finally came to a stop outside a door, she turned and glared at me. "This is your room," she said seething.

"Where is Mr Silvetti's room?"

She almost went mad at my question. I have finally succeeded in elevating her anger and that proved that she is one Mateo's whore. I suddenly felt jealous.

Why am I feeling jealous? I shouldn't be having this feeling.

"It is better you keep to your room, Mr Silvetti won't have you whoring about," she vehemently said.

"Don't worry, I don't imitate sluts," I said and went into the room. An unexplained joy surged through me as I heard her cursing underneath her breath.

"Wow that was thrilling, It has been a long time since I made trouble," I laughed and went into the bathroom.
