Heiress

Chapter 8 (Work 1)

Venice

"Good Day, how may I help you?" the guard greeted me.

I look inside the lobby. This company is really big. I wonder what is his position here?
Is he the CEO?!

No.. I don't think so.

"Uhm, I'm Mr. Savier Hidalgo's friend. May I ask where's his office is?" I politely asked. The guard ushered me to the elevator and told me that his office was at the 6th floor.

The elevator opened. I look around.
"Good Morning, can I ask where is Mr. Hidalgo's office? " I ask one of the employees. She look at me then to the food I was carrying and to my face again.

Yep, I brought him a meal. Tch!
I really want to choke him! I was close to finishing my proposal when he called me to buy him his lunch. I wasn't originally going to but he threatened me by using Ms. Kim again so I ended up doing it 

"It's that Gray door over there." she answered. I smiled at him.

"Thanks." i thanked her.

I knock three times but it seems like no one was inside so I opened it. I'll just wait inside or leave the food inside his office so i can go back and finish my work.

When I opened the door, I saw a girl on a table near. Who is she? Why is she inside his office?

"Good Morn--"

"Who are you? Do you have an appointment with Mr. Hidalgo?"
Woah, this girl has an attitude. Is she a secretary or something? She even look at me from head to toe. The nerve of this girl!

I shake my head.
"No, but---"

"Then get out. He's busy." she said while looking at me--to the food I'm carrying, disgusted. What the---

"Let her in." I heard Savier said.

I look at the girl again. She was still looking at me the way she looked at me awhile ago. If she's really his secretary, then she doesn't fit her job.

"Get in." she said.

"Thanks." ofcourse as an intellectual being, I still thanked her even after that disrespectful and rude thing she had done to me. Dad and Mom didn't raise me to be like this girl over here.

There are just a couple of bookshelves that's separating him from this rude girl.

He was signing papers. I look around his office. It's just so simple. Less furnitures and all. It's not so stuffy and suffocating, I like it.

I think he's a minimalist. So we atleast have one thing in common.

"Where should I leave this?" I asked. He stop what he was doing and look at me.
"Is that your way on greeting your husband?" He looks disappointed. I rolled my eyes.

"oh please, enough with that." I said as I place the food and arrange them on his mini table near the sofa. Once I finished, I look at him. Surprisingly, he was already looking at me.

"So.. I'll go now?" I sounded unsure and I wanted to hit myself because of it.

"And why is my wife in a hurry? Why don't you join me for lunch?" he said as he stood up and walk his way to my direction.
I suddenly felt something in my chest.

He lazily sat next to me and leaned at the sofa. I can tell his really tired from the way he sighed.

"I Don't have time to eat with you, I still need to finish my---"

"Shhhh." he covered my mouth using his palm. He was looking intently at me. His eyes looks so tired.

"Stop talking, let's just eat." he said. I was expecting for him to pick up the spoon and fork but he leaned back again. I suddenly felt concerned. I remember when my Mom and I usually visit Dad in his office. I sighed.
