Guilty In Love ✔

CHAPTER FOURTEEN

Quote of the day: Give in your best to everything you do, why?  Well because what ever is worth doing is worth doing well.

  The meeting had gone really bad, the investor señor Alejandro couldn't make it and ended up sending his assistant señor Luciano who had been more interested in flirting with her than discussing business. The day went bad really fast, leaving Greg in a sour mood. He had felt disrespected by señor Alejandro absence considering the fact that he came all the way from New york. Ashley hadn't expected the meeting to end this fast, and it obviously hadn't began well.

   "Hola buenas noches," Greg said in Spanish as they got to their reserved table. Ashley knew he could speak Spanish since she had heard him converse in the language on several phone calls with Señor Alejandro, but she still can't get over the thrill it gives her anytime he says it. He shook the hand of the man who stood up as they arrived. He looked like he was in his thirties, he was a tad bit handsome, yeah he was, his Grey eyes were perfection.

   "Buenas noches Señor Marshall, mucho gusto, yo soy Luciano," the man said to Greg then turned his attention towards her.

   "Luciano, when will señor Alejandro be here?" Greg asked annoyance seeping into his cool voice. He didn't even bother to seat, he was here for business, and this man wasn't who he wanted to see.

  "He can't make it, I'm his assistant so I will be sitting in his place... And you my pretty señorita who might you be?" Luciano asked with a smile, She smiled at him in return.

  "She is my secretary and clearly none of your business, now why would Gael call for a meeting and not show up?" Greg said fully annoyed now.

  "I'm sure the señorita has a voice of her own," Luciano said ignoring Greg still, he took her hand and looked into her eyes which felt kinda creepy,  "what is your name, mi amor?"

  "Ashley Wells, señor" Ashley answered  politely. She could feel Greg's heated gaze on her, it felt really awkward, it was obvious he hated been ignored and she wanted to laugh, now that he has met someone like him.

  "Tu eres muy bonita mi amor," Luciano said still holding her hand.  she didn't know the meaning of what he said but it sounded like a compliment. He glanced at her from head to toe, and for some reason she no longer felt comfortable in her own skin.  She had worn a simple blue gown, that hugged all her curves, she loved her look when she had left the hotel, but now she felt really uncomfortable as she could see that this man was undressing her with his eyes.

   "Gracias," she said the only Spanish she knew and removed her hand from his, which she was very grateful that he released. She looked at Greg who was fuming by her side.

  "Señor Marshall let us have a seat," Luciano said finally looking at the angry Greg. They all sat down, and things were way too uncomfortable with Greg glaring at Luciano and Luciano staring blatantly at her. "We can place our order now, I didn't know what you would like, so I didn't do so before your arrival."

  "We are not here to eat, let's get to business, is there any particular reason Gael sent you for this meeting?" Greg said trying to stay cool, she could see he was doing everything not to bash this guys head in.

  "Ohh Señor Marshall, why do you think a meeting will be held in a restaurant, it is obviously to discuss while eating," Luciano said in a tone that suggested he was talking to a five year old. "What will you like mi amor?" he asked giving her a wide grin.

  "I will pass," Ashley said, which was the opposite of what she actually wanted to say. She was hungry, but she didn't want to anger Greg anymore than he is.

   "Ohh really, they have pretty delicious meals here, if you don't mind maybe whenever you feel hungry next time you can give me a call. I will take you to a nice restaurant, that is if you are still in Madrid." Luciano said handing her his business card, she took it out of pure Courtesy, so she wouldn't seem rude.
