I was busy on the computer when the designer came with another guy for Stefano's measurements, so I buzzed him and let them through. I carry on with my work until I see Diablo standing before my desk. I look at the time and smiled at him. "Sorry, I didn't realise it was lunchtime." He smiles and said that its not a problem, so I get up to let Stefano know that I'm going out on lunch.
I knock on Stefano's door one's, then walked inside and stopped in my tracks. He was standing without his shirt with his arms outstretched , while the guy takes his measurements and the designer fussing over him. Stefano turns his head and look at me pleadingly, but I won't give him his way, let him suffer a bit for being so rude.
I smiled sweetly at him. "Sir, I just came to tell you that I'm going out on my lunch-break." I look him directly in the eyes and saw the disbelief. He takes a step forward and my smile faltered, but that's as far as he got, because both men started fussing over him and I gave him a big smile. "Well, if you would excuse me, my date is waiting." Just then Diablo walks in behind me and took my hand and smiled. "Are you ready for our date Mona." I smiled back at him and waved at a murderous looking Stefano.
I closed the door behind us and hear a furious Stefano shouting from inside. "Miss Lopez, if you walk out of this building, then you fired." Diablo laughs and said that I can't get fired, because I have my rights, so I grab my bag and we leave the building. "Thanks for picking me up Diablo." We walk towards his car and he helped me in before walking around to the other side of the car.
"You know I don't mind picking you up for lunch and the reaction we got from my brother is just an added bonus. I haven't seen him so mad in ages. Do you mind telling me what's going on." I sigh and didn't answer him straight away, because what do I say to Diablo if I don't know myself why my boss was behaving like this.
"Diablo, I don't know what to tell you, your brother is behaving like a egoistic pig the last few days. He finds a problem with everything and everyone and I hope he sorts out his problem soon, because it could get difficult to work with him and I really need this job. Do you know that he told me to stay away from you. He have some nerve, I know I'm not one of his perfect Barbie's, but does he really think that low of me that I'm not aloud to have you as my friend."
We stop at a restaurant and Diablo takes my hand in his, so I look up at his face. "Mona, Stefano is right about one thing, you not like his Barbie's, you are way better and you beautiful. Don't let him push you around and I will always be your friend, no matter what." I smiled up at him and we got out of the car and walked into the restaurant. I was surprise that we were seated immediately and he explained that he made reservations after I've send him a message.
While we were eating, my phone went of four times in a matter of twenty minutes, so I switched it off completely and see the amusement on Diablo's face. "Sooo, how about telling me why Stefano is checking up on his assistant on her lunch break and why did you really send me that message to pick you up for lunch. Its not that I mind taking you out, because I've always enjoyed your company."
I blushed and look down at my food before looking at Diablo again and told him that I was pissed at Stefano for telling me that I need to stay away from him and that I might of brought him under the impression that we dating. At this, Diablo laughs so hard that some of the other people looked at our table. He takes a few sips of his drink and looked at me. "You know, my brother told me as well to stay away from you, but I told him it will never happen."
For the rest of our lunch, we talked about other things and I look at my watch. "Diablo, do you mind if we could stop at the bookstore before we go back to the office, because I need a few books." I nods and at the store I bought a few books and we drive back to the office.
Diablo walks up with me and as we reach my workstation, I see a big stack of papers with a short note on top. 'Type everything out and file it before you go home.' I re-read the note and was furious. How the hell does this man think I'll be able to finish all this. I need a few days to type and file these. I pass the note to Diablo to read and he was furious.
"That's it, my brother needs to know a few facts and I'm gonna give it to him. He is just spiteful because he can't get his own way. Don't worry Mona, I will sort this out."
