Nothing Above You

Fifty four

Mateo Delacruz

I walk in the building with confidence as many people greet me, leaving everything they are doing. I reply them with a nod before walking into the meeting room I'm supposed to be at.

Three months ago, I took the position under my father. He is still the head of the Delacruz business but I am assigned for most of the work since I'll be leading the business very soon.

Anthony has been taking care of cafe when I'm not around. He has been a great help with the cafe. Leo also drops by when he has time and helps Anthony, handing out the orders.

Enzo was very happy to hear about the news and the rivalry which was once present between the two big companies has turned into a great partnership, helping me and Enzo.

"Welcome sir." One of the man stands up from his seat as I walk into the room. All the other men follow him, standing up for me. I look at all the faces before walking to my chair, the head chair. "I'm looking forward for some great opinions." I say before taking my seat and gesturing for all the people in the room to take their seats.

The meetings had made me so tired and my appreciation for Enzo only grows.

How has that man managed to control the whole business?

It needs a lot of patience, a lot of determination and a lot of confidence with every decision you make. One wrong move and everything can fall into shambles. The attitude you have with your staff has to be at a certain level, if you are too friendly they will take you lightly and if you are too strict they will be wishing for your downfall.

With a sigh, I open the door of my car and start the engine. When the loud noise roars through the place, my heart calms a little.
It's already eight in the night and I have no idea how many hours I have stayed in this place, watching people do presentations or going through files of papers.

However nothing of that matters when I know where I'm headed to. Wasting no time, I put the car in drive and hot the roads.

"Hi, love." Enzo greets me as soon as he sits in the passenger seat. I watch him fasten his seat belt. It's about forty minutes drive from my company to his but I don't mind it. I love the daily routine I have created for myself.

"Hi, handsome." I smile and he freezes before turning his head to look at me. "Handsome, huh?" The sexy smirk that rests on his lips compliments him too well and I love that. "Are you not?" I raise an eyebrow before I look around the car to make sure no one is around. Once I'm done, I lean over to place a small kiss on his lips. He melts in the kiss, closing his eyes and savoring every second of the moment.

Before I can pull away, he brings his hand to the back of my neck before pulling me closer to him. My hand slides to his thigh for support and a vibration runs from his chest. He is quick to poke his tongue between my lips before he licks my bottom. I sigh when he tugs on my bottom lip with his teeth gently before pulling away. Our noses rub against each other's as he rests his forehead over mine, the hand on my neck coming to my cheek. He softly caresses my cheek with his thumb, rubbing it up and down.

"If you say so." I look at him through my lashes as his brown eyes stare down at me with so much passion and desire. A small smile is plastered on his face and I know he loves whenever I call him handsome.

"Are you tired?" He asks with so much concern which swells my heart. "No, I'm good." I assure him but he doesn't seem to be relieved. "Mateo, I've told you, you don't have to drive here and pick me up everyday. I have my own driver and I can come to you instead." He sighs and I frown not liking what he is saying. Once in a week, he manages to say the same thing. I have told him that I want to be the one driving to see him.
