I Won't Fall For You | ✔️

▪︎\\Chapter Twenty

"Not listening to my orders was one thing but not showing up for work without letting me know, is a totally different story", was his first words but I kept my mouth shut. I seriously wasn't in the mood for this.

He was dressed in a dark grey suit and his hair was a bit messy but not unpleasant. He placed his hands in his pockets as he looked at me. His face became blank as he eyed me up and down. What's with men not controlling their eyes especially at a time like this?. I sighed as I rest my head on the door.

"Mr. Lenetti, fancy seeing you here", I heard Franco said as he came to the door and kept looking at Mordechai. The room felt somewhat heavy and I turned and went to sit down. My body was in a state that I couldn't explain. I watched as they shook each other's hands but there was something not welcoming about it.

Mordechai sat on the couch opposite of me but Franco sat back exactly where he was. Only thing was that he wasn't straddling my body. My arms got goosebumps as that thought took over my mind. I shouldn't have felt that way when he did it, I should've resisted easily.

There was no way I had feelings for Franco Osvaldo. The man who only wanted my body. It was just not possible.

"Why weren't you at work today?", Mordechai asked as he rest his elbows on his knees as he watched me.

I glanced over at Franco but he only had his eyes on Mordechai. His face was so stern that in kind of scared me. I've never seen him so serious before, it was truly surprising.

"I took the day off because I wasn't feeling well", I replied as I kept my eyes from his.

"How far are you with the files?", he asked and that was when I felt a wave of anger rushing through me. How far did he expect me to be?. It had just being one day!.

"What do you want Mordechai?", I say with such a low tone. All I wanted to do was go back to bed. People say when you're stressed you sleep alot and I guess I was in that position now. I just wanted the both of them to leave.

"Vanessa, I'll be taking my leave now. I'll see you Saturday ok?", Franco said as he got up and was about to just walk off but instead he turned and gave me a wink. He looked at Mordechai for a few seconds before leaving the living room.

"What was he doing here?", Mordechai asked as he glared at me.

"Excuse me?", I say out of disbelief. He didn't just ask me that. It was none of his business.

"You have no right to ask me that", I replied folding my arms and relaxing on the couch. Might as well get comfy if he's going to be lecturing me.

"Whatever. You weren't at work and you didn't even inform me about anything. That's not the way things work".

"But giving someone a bunch of documents then leaving them out at night without dropping them home is how things work right?", I replied as I glared at him. I stood up and went to the kitchen to pour myself a glass of juice.

I took a sip before leaning on the kitchen isle. I heard his footsteps getting closer but I didn't even budge. I stayed to my spot and continued sipping my juice.

"You're so intolerable you know that?", was his next words.

"And you aren't?", I replied without even thinking. He may be my boss but he didn't own my mouth and my right to speak whatever I wanted.

"I want you at work tomorrow morning at eight sharp-

"Why?. I may be your personal assistant but be honest, do you really need me around?. Isn't Tiffany good enough to do your tasks for you?. Afterall she's just as wealthy as you and I'm sure you can tolerate her", I said before finishing off my juice and went to wash the glass.
