The Billionaire's Assistant

Chapter 27- The Strange Woman

" I see you've found your ring," Mr. Vincenzo said as he looked at the ring I was turning around my finger.

" Yeah, I'm sure I was in a hurry yesterday I really didn't take time looking for it," I said,

" I'm glad you found it,"

"Thanks," I said as the car became quiet but there were questions I was tempted to ask Mr. Vincenzo, I wanted to know if he remembered anything he said last night. We were currently on our way to the conference for the second day.

" Uhm, Mr. Vincenzo?" I called and he turned to me giving his attention and stopping what what he was doing on his tab.

" Yes Miss Westbrook," He said,

" I just wanna know if you remembered saying anything to me last night," I said,

This was stupid but I just wanted to know. He was obviously drunk, I'm sure he doesn't remember a thing.

" What did I say?" He asked looking confused, I knew it, I knew he wasn't going to remember a single thing.

" Nothing, it's nothing, sir," I said as I turned from him looking out the window as we drove past buildings. I could feel his eyes on me so I turned back to him.

" Is there a problem sir?"

" Did I…did I say anything stupid last night when I was drunk?" He asked.

What did he want me to say? Yes, you told me how you miss me and want me back in your life, yeah stuff like that, like he would say that to a woman he considered an easy fuck.

" No sir you didn't say anything stupid," I said and he nodded before going back to what he was doing.

The car stopped in front of the hotel and we both stepped out.

We were walking to the entrance when we heard a female voice calling Mr. Vincenzo's name.

" Luca! Luca!" There was nothing professional with the way she was calling him by his first name.

We turned as Mr. Vincenzo looked at her with raised brows.

" What are you doing here?" He asked her as soon as she reached us.

" I'm here for the conference," She said as she smiled up at him, well I should give them privacy.

" I'll be inside Mr. Vincenzo," I said and was about to turn but he held my hand stopping me.

" No Miss Westbrook, let's go in together, this won't take long," He said and I noticed the way the woman looked at his hand holding mine.

" What are you doing here Beatrice?" He asked again.

" I already told you Luca that…"

" It's Mr. Vincenzo, I didn't give you the right to call me by my first name," He said stopping her and she looked a little taken aback. Who was she?

" Well, I came here to represent my boss, he had things to take care of so he asked me to come in his stead, I just landed in New Jersey yesterday,"

" Well good luck, I've got to go inside," Mr. Vincenzo said as he turned to go inside but she quickly held his hand.

" We could hang out later after the conference, what do you think?" She asked as she rubbed on his arm invitingly and Mr. Vincenzo quickly pulled away.

" No, thanks for the offer," He said before walking inside and I followed.

It's not my place to ask but I'd like to know the type of relationship they have. Well Katherine mind your business.

We settled down on our seats and without wasting time the conference started.

I couldn't help but feel like someone was staring at me, I turned and my eyes met those of the woman who stopped Mr. Vincenzo outside.

I don't know but I felt like she was judging me from her looks, I didn't even know this woman so why would she be judging me?

I turned away from her as I focused back on the speaker. The feeling that she still had her eyes on me didn't go away.

The conference finally came to an end and like usual Mr. Vincenzo took me to talk to some of his friends and business partners.

We were walking to some guys when I stopped Mr. Vincenzo.

" Excuse me, Sir, I've got to use the restroom real quick,"

" Oh, alright, I'll just be with them," He said as he pointed to a group of men and I nodded before walking away.

With the help of a staff member, I was shown to the restroom. I opened the door and entered as I quickly did my business, I didn't realize how pressed I was until I reached the door.

After I peed I cleaned myself and walked out the door as I went to the sink to wash my hands.

I was washing my hands when the door opened and someone walked in, I didn't bother looking until the person came to stand beside me and I turned to see the Beatrice lady from earlier.

I didn't say anything to her, I just minded my business but she didn't have the same plan.

" He seems familiar with you," She said as she applied lipstick on her lips before she turned to look at me. I wasn't in the mood to have any form of conversation with her.

" Of course, I'm his assistant and if you're not dumb you'd know it's normal because he sees me every day," I saw her eyes flame up in anger at my words.

" Watch how you talk to be," She said,

" You know I didn't even want to talk to you in the first place, but I guess the celebrity in me made you want to walk in here and get a personal autograph, where's your pen and paper? Or would you like a print of my fingers on your face?"

" You bitch how…"

" Hold up," I said with a raise of my hand.

" I'm Kathrine and you're wasting my time,"

" Stupid bitch," She spat as she carried her bag and was about to walk out but she stopped and turned to me.

" You think you're anything special?" She said with a humorless laugh.

" But let me tell you, darling, he's just going to use you like the rest of us," And then she was out the door.

Leaving me confused.
