Vendetta: Mysteries that surround it

Chapter 18

When Alexa reached the company she saw people walking out of there after winding up the venue.

There were vans in which they were loading their equipment.

She entered inside to see Francesca talking to the organizing manager.

When Francesca noticed Alexa walking towards her from the corner of her eye, she excused herself from the manager and started taking fast steps toward her boss.

"Hey, you are good?"

"Yup, give me the papers quick." She wanted to go home and get some sleep.

Francesca being the always prepared secretary she is, quickly handed over the papers to Alexa in order.

Alexa did not need to read them, she trusted her secretary enough with that.

"We are done now?" Alexa asked raising her head after signing all the papers.

"Yeah, that's all. But, I think there is another problem." Francesca said while scrunching her face.

Alexa groaned, "What now?"

"I might have told little Balencias that you had an emergency at home and the poor guy has been worried sick the entire show. He asked me at least a thousand times if you picked up my call." She said with a pitiful look on her face.

Alexa sighed, "Is he here?"

"Yeah, he is waiting in your office."

Alexa raised an eyebrow at her, "You know you are not supposed to let an outsider in my office without me in it, right? Especially if he is from the rival group."

"He is no outsider for you though, is he?" Francesca asked her with a slight smile on her face, "Plus he looked as if he was about to cry, he left me no choice."

Alexa shook her head," I will see to it. You go back home Francesca, it's getting late. Robin will drop you off."

"You?"

"I drove here, I will go back later, you get some rest." Alexa patted her shoulder to show her appreciation and walked towards the lift.

She made her way to her office and quietly opened the door to her cabin.

The sight she saw inside made her heart swell with an unknown feeling.

Christian was sleeping on the couch in her office like a small child that has no care in the world.

She took quiet, calculated steps towards him. Trying not to wake him up, he must have gotten tired while waiting for her.

She bends down in front of him to admire his sleeping face. A small smile crept onto her face, which soon turned into a frown when she saw his puffy eyes.

Did he cry? 

She saw his eyes flutter, realizing he had woken up. He opened his eyes and scrunched his nose a little trying to figure out his surroundings. Then his eyes lay on Alexa.

"Hey.."She whispered to him slowly.

He stared at her for a few seconds, blinking his eyes. Trying to figure out why was he in her office in the first place.

Then it hit him and his eyes enlarged.

He jolted up suddenly, startling Alexa in the process.

 He turned his upper body towards her, his legs still on the couch.

"Don't 'hey' me Alexa Angello." He was angry.

Alexa raised both her eyebrows, a little surprised by his tone.

"Do you have ANY IDEA HOW WORRIED I WAS?!!!" His eyes were brimming with tears.

Worried?

He was mad and felt like crying at the same time.

"IS IT SO HARD FOR MS.ANGELLO TO PICK UP A FUCKING CALL FOR ONCE?!!" And his tears started to fall.

Was he always this crybaby? He looks kinda cute tho. Alexa's thought process was completely ignoring the angry guy sitting in front of her.

"Hey, why are you crying? I am fine. I was busy, there was an emergency at home, that's why I could not pick up your phone." She said while trying to touch his face.

He smacked her hand away and stood up.

She also got on her feet along with him.

"Exactly there was an EMERGENCY! It scared me, what sort of emergency could have it been?"

She saw his face which was twisted in a frown, and he had a cute red tint on his cheeks and nose due to all the crying.

It was funny how such an intimidating-looking guy could be a crybaby and look so adorable while doing so.

A part of Alexa did not like how he was raising his voice at her and being so nosy, no one ever dared to speak like that to her outside her family.

But another part was filled with warmth and a sense of security that she had never felt in her life. There was someone genuinely worried about her, worried about her safety. Someone who was not related to her in any way, but still cared so much.

Sure Francesca was worried, but that worry comes as a part of her job.

But Christian? He hated her, and so did she. But she saw more worry in his eyes than she had seen in the eyes of her family.

Her hand made its way to his face once again to wipe his tears. This time he did not stop her and just let her do what she was doing.

"I told you to never raise your voice at me Christian Belincias ." She said to him.

"Is that all you care about right now?" He muttered looking at her in her eyes, a little hurt.

Alexa let out a heavy breath," I am sorry."

His eyes enlarged. This has to be the first time he saw the word "sorry" coming out of her mouth.

"About the other day." She continued," I should not have said those things to you. I was not in my senses." She swallowed her pride to sincerely apologize to him. She felt horrible for the entire month, he was always on her mind.

"Will you tell me why were there guns in your room?" he asked her carefully.

She sighed, defeated, and looked up at him," NO. No, I won't. The world is a very scary place, Christian, these questions you ask me should scare you Belincias."

"If I don't ask these then you scare me more Alexandra." He whispered looking at her.

"That's good. It's better if you are scared of me. Stay as far away from me as you can. You will stay safe." She smiled at him a little and turned around.

She felt a tug on her elbow and he turned.

"You are driving me insane Alexandra Angello."He growled looking at her shocked eyes.

And he smashed his lips on hers.
