Katie's POV

We get to the restaurant a couple of
minutes later. Mr. Jacksons gives his keys to the valet and the other one helps me out of the car. As soon as I'm out he is back to my side taking my hand out of his grip.

When we walk into the restaurant a waiter immediately comes up to us. Perks of being with one of the most richest and famous billionaire's.

The waiter walks up to us and asks "Do you have a reservation?"

"Yes we do its under Jacksons."

He then checks and comes back. "Follow me please."

He leads us to a secluded area with only two chairs. I'm confused wasn't there supposed to be more than two I thought we were having a meeting.

"Sir why are there only two chairs here?"

"Tell the waiter to move us to a table with three chairs."

"Okay."

I walk over to where the waiter is. "My boss and I reserved a table that was supposed to seat three people but the one you sat us at only has two seats."

He immediately looks embarrassed. "Oh of course I apologize for my mistake, please follow me."

I motion for Mr. Jacksons to follow us but he's too busy checking out some women who just walked into the restaurant. I was about to walk over to him when the women walked towards him. "Seth!!, it's so nice to see you."
And smacks a fat one right on his face. Once she pulls always she says "How long has it been?"

"Too long." He replies.

He smiles at her flashing his teeth and I'm taken aback. This is the first time I've seen him smile all day. In the time that I've gotten to know him I assumed he wasn't a person who smiled because he always looks so evil and domineering. Seeing him smile really shocked me. He even has dimples.

Sighing I walk over to where they are standing silently pray he doesn't yell at me for interrupting. "Sir our table is ready." I say fidgeting with my hands. I turn around and start walking to the table assuming they're following me.

We all sit down. I'm across from the strange woman and Mr. Jacksons is sitting next to her.

A waiter comes over and hands us our menus.

"Good afternoon ladies and gentleman, welcome to Del Posto, do you need a minute to gather what you're going to eat? Or are you all ready to order?"

I look over at Mr. Jacksons. He says "We're ready now sir, I'll have the Lobster Caponata."
The waiter turns to the woman whose name I've yet to learn and says "And for you Miss?"
"I'll have the Costolette d'AGNELLO." She spoke it so easily. Now I know why he wanted me to make at reservation at an Italian restaurant.

She's Italian!!

The waiter then turned to me. "What will you be having ma'am?"

I looked up at him with wide eyes and opened my mouth but no words came out. I looked over to Mr. Jacksons for help and he smirked at me. "She'll have the same as me."

"Alright someone will bring out your food shortly." The waiter then left.

A couple of minutes later he comes back with our food. I don't really know what it is because I never got to look at the menu and see
whatever it was that he ordered but it smelled
and looked rather well.

"Aren't you going to try it?" Said Seth.

"Oh yes, of course sir."

I took a bite and had to hold a moan from escaping my mouth it was so delicious. Seth almost laughed at me. He saw the way I reacted to it.

I took the liberty of introducing myself to the lady since my boss certainly wasn't going to.

"I'm Kate Smith, Mr. Jacksons assistant, nice to meet you."

She smiled at me. "Hello my name is Alessandra Bianchi."

Clearing his throat Seth said to Alessandra, "Shall we get started?"

"Yes of course." She replied smiling

I took out my notepad and pen and started writing down everything they said. Alessandra was here on her fathers behalf because he was too busy. No wonder Seth was being nice and charming, he was trying to impress Mr. Bianchi's daughter so that she would report back to her father that everything went well. But still they must've known each other other than the business because what person kisses someone on the lips they just met for the first time?

He went on and on about how partnering with Jacksons Co. would be good for her dads business and how much they would both profit and benefit from it and on and on. This lasted for another hour before they finally said their goodbyes.

Thank the gods they were finished because my hand was cramped. I'd been trying to write as much as I could, trying to keep up with their words. They weren't doing much to help me seeing as I could only write as fast as my hand would allow not as fast as their mouths were moving. Sighing I laid back in my chair and closed my eyes.

Seth's POV

Waving goodbye to Alessandra, I turn to look at Katie and find her laying back on her chair with her eyes closed. What an amusing sight I thought to myself. I took this chance to observe her face up close. Her lips looked so plump and pink. So appealing and beautiful. In that moment I wanted to trace my finger along the sweet outline where skin met mouth. Her black hair was framing her face. Her hair was midnight black and it flowed over her shoulders. Her skin was perfect and glowing. She had a flawless complexion, so impeccable. She slowly opened her eyes and I quickly looked away, but not before I caught sight of her alluring blissful blue eyes.

Clearing my throat I turn to her. "Let's go." I extend my hand out for her to take. She hesitates for a moment then takes my hand.
When we're about to go outside I notice photographers and I think Katie notices too because she immediately tightens her hold on me. I wince.

Don't get me wrong I love the feeling of having her hand in mine but for a pretty small person she can be really strong.

I take my jacket and give it to her and when
she looks at me confused I say "It's to hide your face from the photographers."

"Oh of course, thank you sir."

When we walk outside I try to get us to the car as fast as I can and avoid any questions. "Is that your girlfriend?" "Mr. Jacksons, are you two a couple ?" All these questions are getting annoying.

We get to the car and I quickly open it and push her inside. I hope I didn't hurt her.

I try to get to the other side but one reporter stops me and says. "Is she the one, are you finally willing to change your playboy ways for her?"

Without thinking I say "She's just a friend."

Once we're away from all the paparazzi I say "Are you okay?"

She turns to look at me while I go back to watching the road. After a moment she says "Yes I'm fine are you?" She asks worry evident in her voice.

"Yes I'm fine but I want you to take the rest of the day off and relax from all that's happened today."

I keep my vision on the road and not look at her.

We get to the office a couple of minutes later and as soon as I pull up she gets out. 

"I can give you a ride home, if you want" She looks back at me giving me a reassuring smile.

"It's alright Mr. Jacksons I can find my own way home."

"Alright see you tomorrow, Katie."

Once I park the car I head straight to my office.
I spend the rest of the day locked up in my office. I tried to make myself busy with work but all I kept thinking about was Katie and those plump lips of hers.

I smile remembering when we first met. She immediately intrigued me because she didn't throw herself at me just because I'm Seth Jacksons. She's different and I like that about her.

She sure does have a mouth on her. I thought to myself as I went back to work.
