I couldn't wait to fill my tummy with your delicious snacks. I've got to pack some before leaving. What were you guys discussing?
None of your business, Camila! Mateo snapped.
What's with you, Mateo? You have been getting on my nerves recently. I wish I could ship you to a desert and abandon you there. At least there will be world peace. Enough, both of you; you have been on each other's throats. Mateo was just concerned about my relationship with Andreas; he was just worried, that's all. It's nothing serious.
Worried! What's there to get worried about? I am in favor of your relationship. If you guys ever want to date in the future, I support it.
Mateo groaned, Shut up. Camilla, he is a dangerous guy, and Isabella isn't going to date him.
Camilla frowned at this attack, dashing towards him. That's it; I've heard enough of your nonsense, Mateo. Trying to pin him down under her, Mateo burst into laughter. One reason you are still single is because you are so violent. Say that in front of me once more, Mateo. Camilla tried fighting him again.
Isabella watched the banter; she was definitely glad she had her friends around her. With Camilla waving goodbye, she left for work, sighing as she watched her leave. Will she also get to have her dream job? Nana watched Isabella from a distance and prayed in her heart that her wishes would come true.
A car drove right in front of A-empire company in Valencia, with the driver getting down first to open the doors. Her heels clicking on the tiled floor, walking towards the company with confidence, wearing the most expensive outfit in Valencia, walking towards the receptionist who bowed slightly, showing her greetings, Ma'am, how may we help you?" Removing her glasses, she smirked, I am here to see my fiancé, Andreas.
Soon murmurings started flying around: Is she Andreas Astridsson's girlfriend? Wait, that is Crispino's daughter. I am so envious of her; she's wearing the latest and most expensive outfit and is engaged to the youngest CEO in the country, Valencia.
The receptionist fidgeted; she knew she was his fiancée, but also knowing her boss well, he doesn't do well with one not following his orders. I'm sorry, ma'am, but do you have an appointment with Sir Andreas? If you could just wait for a moment, I will place a call to confirm your arrival.
Sure, I can. The receptionist heaved a sigh of relief; she didn't expect that to go so well, but before I wait for you to place a call to my fiancé, I will need you to come closer."Me? The receptionist stammered, nodding her head and walking towards her. Her face was stung with a heavy slap that left her staggering backward a bit.
Soon, it began drawing the attention of people who wondered who would get on the bad side of Sophia Crispino. Signaling her men, who surrounded the shaken receptionist, clipping her hands to the back. GET RID OF HER! Sophia's voice echoed, sending chills down the workers at the office; no one could dare stand up to her.
The receptionist screamed, kneeling before Sophia's feet, Please forgive me, ma'am. I made a mistake. Please don't kill me. She pleaded for her life with tears over her face as she tried to free herself from the men who held onto her arms tightly.
What is going on here? A cold voice echoed, One thing he hates the most is unnecessary drama. Sophia couldn't get her eyes off Andreas; she saw him once when he came to save her, and she must admit to herself he was getting handsome with each passing day, his hair ruffled slightly with the two front buttons open, making Sophia gawk at him.
I asked, What happened? His voice turned chillier, which snapped Sophia out of her daze.
Baby!! She called out, making the anger in Andreas increase more than normal. Don't call me that, cutting her off immediately, clearing her throat. I was just about to dispose of this incompetent receptionist of yours. You need better people to do your job, and as your future wife, it's my duty to make sure everything falls in place.
Staring at the startled receptionist, he smirked. And what has she done to be incompetent, stopping you from entering my office without informing me first? Seems like she's just doing her job to me. Sophia felt angered, speaking up. How could you support this lowlife over me? I am your fiancé and Crispino's daughter.
I don't give a damn who your father is, and you don't need to remind me regularly that we are engaged. It's getting on my nerves, and I won't hesitate to break this freaking relationship up if you cross the line. Let go of her and leave my company. Dante stood there perplexed about what to do. Was his boss crazy? Does he know the family he is messing with?
If that's all, Lady Sophia, I will advise you to take your leave; this is a company, not a marketplace. Sophia felt chills with the tone of his voice; he was definitely angry. Not wanting to anger him more, she walked out, clenching her fist. The receptionist, who was still shaken, gave a thankful gratitude to Andreas, who didn't acknowledge it, walking past like nothing ever happened.
Following his boss, Dante tried opening his mouth to say something, but was shut down by a glare from Andreas. Have you found out where the tech gadget is? His voice is still filled with irritation. Yes, boss, Dante responded.
We head there first.
Tell the others to follow discreetly; we don't want to draw any attention to ourselves, and Dante, he looked at him, don't die on me.
Yes, boss, Dante replied with a smile. It's my job to protect you even with my life, boss.
Andreas scoffed before signaling him to drive off, loyal subjects, I must say. He teased, knowing deep down Dante meant every word he said. He removed his mind from the thought, putting the goal at hand first on the list.
Going through the plan once more
Andreas stood before his men. Do you recognize me? Technology is going crazy, Dante muttered, looking completely different from his normal face. Stay focused, boys; this mission means a lot to us. They nodded their heads affirmatively.
The club was lit, but with lights and loud music, with people dancing to the rhythm of the song, lost in their own world. These crazy bastards have the guts to steal our weapon, yet they dare throw a party. Bruno! A voice called out. Bruno, it was firm yet again. He totally forgot he was in disguise as a guy called Bruno. Yes, boss, he answered. Kudos to their tech company, who wasn't just able to change his face but also his voice.
Not able to get your eyes off those pretty chicks, right? He snickered while lighting a cigarette and puffing it out. Yes, boss, I must admit they are pretty hot.
Focus on the mission first; the big boss is on his way, and then you can have fun with the ladies.
