04~ Unexpected Surprise

Antonio’s POV

“Fucking hell!!” I exclaimed in my head, staring at her, trying to recall the exact spot I’d seen her before. And I hoped she wasn’t the same girl I’d seen the night before, because for some reason it suddenly felt as though I was starting to regret not learning about the name of the girl from last night.

I hoped that she wasn’t the exact girl I was talking about from just staring back at her, suddenly short on words. Luckily for us both, we weren’t standing in such proximity anyway.

But still, annoyingly right there in the office, I couldn’t help fighting off memories of what happened in the club. My cock twitched at the thought and I was tempted to slam down to the center of my legs. Fortunately, I bit my tongue down, holding it back from making it quite obvious that she’d caused a thing to me.

“I’m sorry—Sir, it’s never going to happen again,” She added, staring innocently at me.

I stared at her…critically and noticed the same marks I’d given her from last night. Hickeys. And also, the slight pucker of her nipples underneath the shirt she was wearing.

“It’s never going to happen again,” She continued.

“Never,” She added.

Normally, here at the firm. I was used to having board staff who’d be so scared to even make an apology, or make it clear to me why they do certain things. But she spoke more words than I’d commanded her to, apologizing a couple of times in the space of a minute. No one’s ever done that.

“She’s got guts!” I thought to myself, staring at her.

My legs moved of their own accord in her direction, until I stopped just short of that one step that would have us both breathing into the face of the other.

She remained still, unable to meet my eyes when I stood up close to her. But I could still see the alarm in her eyes and the desire; it was the same thing mirrored in my eyes as well.

“Americharter or Apollo Jets, pick a choice and how favorable would you rate the weather to be currently?” I asked, trying to distract my thoughts from going in her direction.

“Is it fair to take a business trip to Florida for a meeting or it isn’t?” I continued.

“Americharter,” She responded.

“Well, it’s expected to be sunny with a high of 75 degrees Fahrenheit and a low of 60 degrees Fahrenheit,” She began.

“So I’d say it’s indeed not a bad time for that trip, with such fair weather,” She added.

My eyebrows shot up seeing she’d solved a problem and had given the exact response I’d been expecting from the others. She’s fucking good everywhere.

“Fine, you got the job!” I scowled, taking my gaze off her wanting to see the expression of the others around. But I cared less anyway, I mean I run the company and not them.

Her eyes flew up to mine almost immediately, the shock in her eyes more evident in their depths.

“Thank you,” She responded, and then turned, moving away from me with her eyes locked elsewhere while I stood there watching her. The feel of her lips from last night was still real on mine

“Greg!” I called out and at the snap of my fingers, he appeared right in front of me without any objections

“Get her a change of clothes, I wouldn’t want her wearing that, and do something about her hair,” I ordered.

“And a new pair of shoes would do the trick,” I added, as I turned away from her walking back to the elevator headed down to my office. Where I’d been waiting for her makeover for an hour and nothing less than that.

Just as expected, my door swung open an hour later, followed by the clicking of a lady’s heels against the tile of my office as she walked in. Making me more than curious to find out who it was.

My eyes shot up to see who it was, but then, the very minute she walked in, my jaw dropped at the sight of her seeing how professional and beautiful she looked from the makeover. My eyes traveled down to the curves, now visible from her dress making me wonder why on earth she had been so fully covered in the first place. Damn, I couldn’t take my eyes off her.

“Better,” I cut in and then I sprung up to my feet, headed for the door as she followed suit from behind me.

In less than a couple of minutes we’d boarded a plane headed for Florida, with her seated across from me. I suddenly noticed she had her hands wrapped tightly around the leather sheet of the chair as she stared out the window. Looking more frightened than ever.

“Never been on a plane before?” I asked, curiously.

“N—”

“No,” She said.

“I see,” I responded, fighting back the urge of me laughing out loud in front of her.

A couple of hours later, we’d arrived and headed for the exact company where the meeting was to be held.

“Antonio Gustavo,” A male voice called out from the hallway as I turned, forcing a smile at whoever it was headed in our direction.

We shook hands the minute he was up close as they had us taken to the boardroom of the company. After long hours of having the whole meeting, it finally came to an end and I could tell she was exhausted as well.

I smiled watching her from a distance wishing I could say plainly to her how unforgettable last night was with her in bed. But I couldn’t, it was unfortunately so inappropriate and unprofessional as well.

“I’ll take it from here,” She said, referring to the road up ahead which I found sort of weird. Wondering why a lady of her status would be out here in such a bizarre environment.

“A non-stop shit show these past few weeks huh?” I cut in smiling at her.

“I hope this week feels different for you,” I added. The very minute I did, her eyes widened in shock as she hopped out of my car.

I know that look anywhere, she remembers as well!!..
