(His POV)
"You need to let her rest," gio says with a slight chuckle, "she's gonna need 5 days off and she just started"
I mean he's not wrong, the whole day I had Gabriela running up and down doing tasks that I could have done for myself but it was way too funny seeing her struggle
"She'll be fine," I say not making eye contact, I'm too busy looking at this strange message my dad sent me. He texted me about some dinner party that I know damn well I'm not going to, I can't bear to be in the same room as my mother let alone my dad right now. After how he handled the Vance situation, I've been avoiding him.
"Everyone is going to be there, if you don't go it's going to look bad," gio says as if he can read my mind, he wasn't wrong my whole family plus lots of major investors when gonna be there. It would be good for business for me to attend. I quickly snapped out of my thoughts when I get a text from a random number
"hey do I have to work tm"
Shit.
It's her, she was texting me? I hadn't even thought to save her number. Tomorrow was the dinner party and technically she doesn't have to work but she doesn't have to know that
"Yes"
"you're not being Serious, it's the weekend" she quickly responds and I can feel her attitude through my screen. making my jaw clench. "Something important came up and you have to attend", without even thinking I press the call button
"Uhh hello," she says with confusion, the sound of her voice was music to my ears "come to this address (1775 lovely rose road) at 8:00 am, don't be late or your fired " I quickly say then hang up. I not really gonna fire her I just wanted to intimidate her a little bit.
(The Next Day)
(Her POV)
"Ughhh where the fuck is this place," I say as I let a groan in frustration, I had been looking for this place for hours, and I'm already tired cause I had to get up at 7:00 am on a Saturday. The address Mateo sent me has to be wrong cause I don't see any work buildings just huge mansions, before thinking I put my car in park and call him
I didn't expect him to answer, "hello?" There's breathing but no answer. "Gabriela" his voice is soft yet deep like he had been sleeping and I felt bad about waking him up but how come I gotta wake up at the crack of dawn and he gets to sleep in? "Sorry to wake you but I can't find the office building" it's quiet for a while, bitch did he fall asleep. "It's the house at the bottom of the neighborhood, I'll be waiting for you"
What the fuck
He wants me to come to his house. Why? , when I finally reach the end of the neighborhood I pull up to this magnificently beautiful house, it would take 50 of my houses to make it this big,
Damn
He make this much money off a shipping company? No way? , the house had a black dark look and it was isolated from the rest of the neighborhood, there were four cars parked outside and six guards a the gate, but they insanely let me in. As I drive up the hill I feel my mouth drop, wow
