A week later...

"Mierda ( fuck)"  I cursed on no one but myself for being in this condition.

Almost a week went by but Alejandro didn't made a single move on me. I thought being mysterious will attract him towards me but I was so wrong.

I know that Alejandro has sent a man to keep an eye on me and that irritates me more. I need to do something very big to get his attention. I need a full proof plan.

I decided to take a shower and grab something to eat. Today's Saturday which means my day off. I am so happy about it working as a waitress is a tough job especially for someone like me.

After taking shower I directly walked towards my wardrobe and decided to wear a cargo jogger and a black top.

I walked inside my open kitchen to cook something to eat

I walked inside my open kitchen to cook something to eat. Before I could even take out ingredients for dish i heard the doorbell ringing. I was confused because no one will visit me at this time but still i went to open the door.

I opened the door and my eyes widened in shock. I took a deep breath to control my emotions. Now is the time to start my acting.
"Do i know you??" I asked trying to be polite.

"No, but can be come inside " she asks.
I gave her nod and move aside to let her in. She entered my small living room and looked around in pure disgust.

Well she is the only one who hates my living condition because I hate it too.

She sat on the sofa in an elegant manner and her two bodyguards took their position beside her.

I can't believe it!!! Rosa Martinez is sitting beside me. I knew that i am going to meet her sooner or later but i never thought that it will be so soon.

"So you saved my son's life” she asked.
I looked at her confusedly like she talking in some foreign language.

"I am sorry but I don't know your son" i replied.
She narrowed her eyes at me not believing me at all. Of course she won't believe me after all she is Rosa Martinez.

"You saved him from a car accident few days ago” she said.
"You mean that douches bag" i said and instantly realized my mistake.
Shit!!! I shouldn't have said that, my bad!
Rosa was a little perplexed and had a little smile on her face.

"I guess your first meeting with my son didn’t go that well. My son is like that, his first impressions are not very great. Either you are smitten or intimidated. I have to day you are the first one showing disdain", Rosa said.

There was an awkward silence. The space between them felt cold, due to the excessive awkwardness. After a few minutes of nothing, Rosa said “I am grateful to you for saving my son tell me how can I help you?”

Gabriella was stunned by this response and nonchalantly replied “it was not a big deal, I just saved his life out of kindness you don’t owe me anything”.
