Italian Obsession

Chapter 78

Valentina

Caitlyn came into my office the next morning and shook her head. "He's been looking at you for half an hour."

"He has work he should get done."

Caitlyn smirked. "Did you guys do anything?"

"No. He kissed me last night at dinner."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"And? How was it?"

"I am not interested in the least. I made the same mistake the first time in terms of getting involved with my boss and two kids later, we are divorced."

"Are all of the kids his?"

"No, my son is his but regardless, I am not interested in him, and he was texting me last night too."

"What'd he say?"

"Just flirtatious stuff, but I want nothing to do with him to be honest."

"Will you tell him that?"

Caitlyn nodded. "Good. I will be next door if you need me, okay?"

"For sure. Thanks Cait."

Nodding, she shut the door, and I went through emails, avoiding eye contact with Justin at all costs. I knew he liked me, but I had many other things to focus on: my kids and my job.

I had zero interest in him, but it is only a matter of time until I tell him.

Justin

"If you think she's so hot, ask her out."

I looked at Ryan and raised my eyebrows. "You don't think that's something I want to do?"

"I don't know. Is it?"

"She's beautiful, smart, independent and single."

"With kids. Do you really want to get yourself involved in that?"

"There's something different about her that attracts me."

Ryan shook his head. "You've never been into commitment, especially when it comes to kids. What's changed?"

"She's a hard-working woman."

"So? There are a lot of other women who work hard too."

"Yes, but she's different."

"Justin, you should really put some thought into this. You've never been interested in having kids."

"Well, maybe I have changed my mind, and it is something that I want."

Ryan shook his head. "Justin, I've known you long enough that I honestly think you will regret this."

"No, I won't."

"Don't come crawling back to me when she rejects your ass."

"She won't say no to me. No one ever has."

"Arrogance isn't a very good quality to have."

I smirked. "I'm just saying. Especially when I have her on her knees begging for me."

Ryan scowled. "What's that supposed to mean?"

"You know exactly what I mean."

"Not every girl wants to fuck you. She clearly isn't interested, so why force it? She could easily report you."

"She can't when I am her boss and I know that you wouldn't tell anyone."

"I don't condone this."

"Give it time, she'll beg for me to fuck her."

"You're sounding like a real prick right now."

"Possibly, but she's hot. I can't help myself. I do know one thing though. Valentina is getting laid. Tonight."
