They are both CEO's

Chapter 4

Andrea Queen

I had a plan. I had an amazing plan when I was at home picking clothes. I had a plan when I got in the restaraunt and when I saw how guys are watching me. I even had a plan when I saw that some guy is approaching me and I knew that King is watching me, so I was flirting a little. And I had a plan when I sat there. And my plan went to hell when I looked at him. He was gorgeus. And that coming from me was something. I had a fair share of models and jocks. He had light brown, almost blond hair and it wasn't short so I could already imagine my fingers there. Stop it Andrea!
Then I kept studying him while he watched menu. He had greenest eyes I had ever seen and his face was like sculpted. I could see why are everyone was drooling when he is in the room.
"Are you ready to order?"
Waitress asked us but she was looking only at him and it kind of bugged me. Good thing was that he didn't pay any attention because he was still looking for food.
"Khm, I will take crepes, please"
She looked at me like she forgot that I was there and smiled. I looked at Alexander and he looked relieved. Why?
"I'll have american pancakes"
She smiled at him and he gave her one of his famous smiles. Yes. Even I heard of them. She stumbled while she was going back.
"I can see that playboy stories are true"
He raised eyebrow but didn't say anything. Damn it. I expected an answer. Instead if that, he took of his tie and opened first two buttons of his shirt. I stole a glimpse of his toned chest and I think he saw it because when I looked at him, he had a cocky smile.
It clicked now. He has a same plane. Nice. Clever. I can see why he's on top.
I was lost in thoughts when I heard his laugh.
"What?" I heard annoyance in my voice.
"Is it possible that I am that good loking and charming that you, the most succesfull women in NY are left speechless. My ego will touch the ceilling."
Wow. Didn't see that one coming.
"I think it already touched the roof. I am just lost in thoughts"
"What are you thinking about?" He asked but I think he's not very interested in my answer because he is looking at the waitress all the time.
"I am thinking how is it possible that you and I are on the same level?!"
He smiled as if he expected this.
"I was wondering the same thing. I am so much better than you but it is what it is"
He is smirking. What the fuck?
He thinks that he js just hillarious.
"Well, if you think that, why the hell did you call me?"
"Well, like I said: it is what it is. We are on the same level and I wanted to propose a partnership. What do you think?"
"What the hell?!"
He looked at me like I just entertain him and I was trying to figure out what I said and then I realized that I said it out loud.
"Why so nervous Andy?"
Andy?! Who gave him the right to give me nickname?
"It's Andrea" I hissed- "Even better miss Queen"
He looked at me and then burst in laughter.
"Can't do that Andy. Tell you this, I call you Andy, you call me Alex. Do we have a deal?" Now I was the lucky girl to get a smile. And, oh my god, it worked. But I won't let him see that.
"Let's see. No."
He looked suprised but he didn't say anything. Good.
"Now tell me more about this bussiness deal"
He instantly transformed in CEO and I can relly see how he got on top. He has some really good ideas and I could see how this partnership can help both of our companies. He was realy smart but there was something in him that annoyed me. He was so full of himself, so cocky and arrogant. I couldn't stand him. Yes he was hot and gorgeus, but I don't like his attitude.
"So, what do you think Miss Queen?"
"Sorry?" I didn't hear anything that he said.
"Seriously?!" I could hear annoyance in his voice. But he also sounded bored and tired.
"I am sorry, I'm just really tired" I said and started to massage my temple.
"I know but if you want to be in this bussiness, you need to be able to leave tiredness out of the picture". Whoa. Where did that come from?! What does he know about me? As if he read my mind:
"I apologise if you thought that I will be easy on you because of your looks or your reputation. I can't sugarcoat it for you Andy" Again with that damn nickname.
"It's Miss Queen for you Mr. King, and I will not repeat myself"
"Why so harsh Andy darling?" He got cut with phone ring. He looked at the caller ID and sighed.
"Excuse me, I have to take this" He smiled at me and, on my suprise, didn't go away to talk like most bussinessmans. Well, he is not ordinary bussinessman.
"Pronto" - I turned my head in his direction when I heard Italian. I usually wasn't impressed when somebody talk in foreign language because I can talk 4 of them but he sounded different. Andrea, remember, he is an asshole.
"Che cosa? Come è successo? Buona. Andrò nel mio ufficio il più velocemente possibile. Ti chiamerò quando mi arriva. Arrivederci amico." He finished and turned around to face me
"Sorry Andy I have to go, something came up. I will call your secretary to schedule another appointment and I will have all paperwork and everything if you decide to accept my offer." He told me and turned to go when I decided to say something
"What if I refuse Mr King? What will you do then?" -I asked bravely. He turned around and smirked. It's like he saw rhis one coming.
"But remember, cara mia, that you can refuse my offer but than we will go in war. You will have to get those loubotins through mud to save your dear company. It is going to be a bloodbath. Do what you want to do, I don't beg anyone, and by that I mean not even you Andy. Ciao" Asshole said and turned around but stopped suddenly and went to that whore waitress and whispered something in her ear and she bursted out of laughing. Aah. I will throw up. How can he say those things? And what is up with italian?
"So what if I refuse? He can't do anything to me, right?" I asked my lawyer/best friend Emma when I told her my sad story in a bar.
"Girl, I would like to agree with you but you must remember that he is in this much longer than you. I mean not that much but he's got more contacts and, as much as I hate to admit, people take him more seriously because he's a guy. And he is super smart. I think that he could really destroy you." My BF looked me apologeticaly.
"Well shit"
It's drinking time people.
