Chapter 21

( Manuel got down from his car and walk into the company when he got to his private elevator Axel walk up to him)

AXEL: morning MR Ortiz. Can I join you?

MANUEL: this is a private elevator Axel ai suggests you take the one for staff to my office if you have anything to say to me. ( the elevator door opened Axel followed Manuel inside) I believe you heard what I just said.

AXEL: what I want to talk about is not work it's about Fredrick. Why the hell was he here the other day? How on earth do you get to know him? One thing I know Fedrick hates is rude people so there is no way you two are friends.
( Manuel smiled)

MANUEL: you two aren't friends either right? Or else you won't be here trying to force information out of me. Whatever Fedrick and I have is no concern of yours so I suggest you stop asking and do me a favor and stay away from him. I don't want you near Fedrick not even an inch close do you understand?

AXEL: who the hell do you think you are for you to give me a warning? I've known Fedrick all his life. You are a stranger you are nothing to him.

MANUEL: it's not a warning Axel it's a threat. If I see you buzz around him I'll destroy everything you've worked so hard for ( he said angrily. Axel felt chills run down his spine he has never seen Manuel this angry apart from the day he saw him and Fedrick together, ) I don't care how long you've known him to stay away from him I won't say it twice. ( the elevator opened then he walk out of it. DAVE stood up when he saw his boss approaching )

DAVE: welcome sir, how was the meeting with MR Pablo?

MANUEL: it went well the contract is signed. (he looks at his office door )

DAVE: Sir Fedrick is not here yet (Manuel breathes in and calms down) Miss Ella is here sir.

MANUEL: what? Dave knows that you will receive punishment because of this and I need ten pages of written apology by the end of the day. We'll talk about the rest later.

DAVE: yes sir. I'm sorry sir, she said it's important that she meet with you.

MANUEL: I don't care about that Dave. All my meetings for the day are held outside the company I told you who I'm expecting. Next time do well to handle this.

DAVE: yes sir. ( Manuel walked into his office )

Manual: Miss Ella to what do I owe this visit? ( he walked to the office chair and sat down he opened the file on his desk and started looking through it)

ELLA: you should at least acknowledge someone. ( she stood up and walk close to the desk)

MANUEL: you entered my office on your own accord I'll acknowledge you on my accord. Now tell me why are you here miss Ella without an appointment? ( Ella drops an envelope on the desk)

ELLA: I want to invite you to a horse racing event. So many important people are going to be there. We'll need the connection to carry out our plan so go with me as my date.

MANUEL: I don't have time for that Miss Ella. Next time you have something to send do that though, my assistant. Right now I need to work.

ELLA: Manuel I won't be here if it's not important I pro...

MANUEL: that's MR Ortiz to you. I'll attend an event when I know it's important to me do you understand? Now please leave I have work to do. ( they heard a knock on the door ) come in.
( Fedrick walks in. Manuel smiled the second he laid eyes on him he stood up and walk up to him) someone is early.

FEDRICK: do you want me to go back?

MANUEL: I dare you ( Fedrick glares at him. Ella was looking at how Manuel was interacting with the young man so freely and he even seems happy. Something she has never seen on him when talking to her. She felt so upset, she picks up the envelope )

ELLA: wall MR Ortiz it was nice talking to you. I'll take my leave now( Fedrick looked at her their eyes met then Ella smiled and walk away. Frederick look at Manuel he wanted to ask him who the lady was but he decides not to he walk to the coach and sat down Manuel sat next to him)

MANUEL: that lady is Miss Ella Lorey she happens to be a business partner.

FEDRICK: I did not ask.

MANUEL: yeah, I felt like telling you, and besides you seem curious.

FEDRICK: would you tell me everything just because I'm curious about it?

MANUEL: yes, it means you are curious about me and you want to know me. So I'll gladly tell you everything.

FEDRICK: even the sad one? ( Manuel smiled)

MANUEL: even the sad ones. Will you tell me too? I have so many things that I'm curious about.

FREDRICK: yeah ill tell you. What are you curious about?

MANUEL: when you came in it seems you had something to say. What was it? ( Feddrick put down his face)

FEDRICK: I missed you. ( Manuel was so surprised that he choked on his saliva that he started coughing. Frederick pat his back slowly ) Manuel are you alright?

MANUEL: are you planning to kill me? Are your revenge still on? Is this some kind of new trick?

FEDRICK: what? No, I thought this was going to make you happy. ( Manuel look at him) I was feeling strange all day so I talked to my brother and a friend and they told me it was because I missed you and that if I tell you it would make you happy. ( Manuel smiled so widely his heart was beating so fast) and I baked you a lemon cake. you like eating it so I thou...( Manuel hugged him so tightly. Fedrick was speechless, all they could hear is the loud sound of their heartbeats. Frederick hugged Manuel back and rested his head on Manuel's shoulder breathing in the sweet scent he found so addictive )
