"That is correct Mr Chang. The date and time for today's midday meeting has been rescheduled for 2 in the afternoon tomorrow. Mr Monteiro sends his regards and we do apologize for any inconvenience this sudden change of events has caused. Until tomorrow, good day sir"I ended the call with Mr Mackie Chang one of the company's Chinese investors and crossed it off the list.
Thoughtlessly,I rolled my eyes. Sebastian Monteiro was truly an arrogant beast. The media had not lied when they had implied he was an animal. He was just as dark, even more so in reality.
I recollected his cold demeanor this morning. His behavior was uncalled for. After all he was only introducing me to my duties.
He is mighty fine though. Is he not? my subconscious Pointed wiggling her eyebrows suggestively.
I rolled my eyes a second time. That much was true. He had a very nice face. But what was a pretty face with a nasty attitude? Just that-- a pretty face.
The ringing of my mobile sounded bringing me out of my thoughts. I rummaged through my purse for it and answered the device.
"Hey babe. Wanna get together for lunch as a celebration of your first day of work?"my best friend offered and I could hear the smile in his voice. But still. Lunch? Had the time flown so fast already? On my watch, I checked the time and was surprised to see it was almost half past twelve, no wonder my stomach was growling so. I had my hour long lunch break in 30 minutes-- I told Lucas this and he promised he would me here at 1.

Lucas came to a stop before a quaint little cafe a few minutes away from my place of employment.
How he found this place was beyond me. So I asked him.
"Lue how did you know of this place so near to me?"
"I had called Johnny Boo and asked for a place where I could take you for a quick lunch and he recommended this place. So Yea. Do you like?" He replied checking his reflection in the rear view mirror.
Though we had not yet gone into the place. Even from the exterior it was very lovely.
"Yes" I smiled,watching him smoothen his perfectly waxed eyebrows.
We pushed the door open speaking amicably and instantly my eyes landed on my boss speaking with another man. Why my heart raced so that minute? I did not know.
But still. I never imagined him as a cafe kind of guy.
He stared at us coldly and strided past.
God. I only just began working for the man and already I was beginning to detest him.
Sitting at an unoccupied table I allowed my eyes to roam the small cafe and then started browsing the yellow and brown menu card.
A blonde waiter with a lovely smile walked over to our table pen with his writing pad in hand but instead of taking our order he openly eye raped Lucas who stared back at him smirking.
I could not blame the guy. My friend was a very attractive man but still I was dying of hunger. And though I hated to break his moment. I needed to order before I starved to my doom.
"I will have the French vanilla cappaucino and the cheese sandwich please."I said but instead of responding to me he continued to savor my friends beauty,oblivious to everything else around him.
"I will have the same." Lucas snapped his fingers before the guy's eyed bringing him from his trance like state. "Today".
My friend chuckled and shook his head when Trey the waiter left to get our food. His laughter was contagious and I smiled teasingly. "He is cute. Don't you think?"
"Whatever! His name may be Trey but I'm Trey Songs because "I'm already taken" hoe." he hissed in response "anyways how was your first day as a working woman at the prestigious Monteiro Industries?"
"I hate my boss. He is an imbecile." I complained like a child frowning at the thought of the man. "My office is very nice though"
Lucas nodded thoughtfully. "He was jealous when he saw us together you know"
"No Lue. Do not speak such things. Jealous? Why would he be jealous?"
"He was though"
"Hypothetically speaking say he liked me. What reason would he have to? Have you seen the women he dates? I am nothing compared to them" but still, why had I sounded so regretful? So bitter?
It was because I was starved right? I was hungry so my mind was playing tricks on me. Yes? I hated him. Didn't I?
"Maybe he was just angry I left the office without informing him."
"Britondii you are an intelligent,gorgeous woman. You are every man's type. Straight man I mean." I chuckled then. "I never want to hear you speak lowly of yourself ok?"
My friend was so sweet. I smiled warmly as Trey the waiter returned with our food,his eyes again feasting on Lucas.
"Oh my God of the gays! Stop eyeing me so." He said sassily . "Do I look single to you?"
The waiters eyes landed on me,his face flushing in embarrassment.
"Anything else? " he stuttered,utterly embarrassed as Lue chuckled.
When I shook my head no,he practically ran from away from our table.
"Lucas Williams " I said his name in a scolding tone, slapping his hand as he smirked and raised the steaming cup beverage to his lips.

"Ah" I exhaled, smiling when I completed another task and crossed it out.
"Oh God" I gasped harshly in surprise when the door was pushed open with a force stronger than a category 5 hurricane wind speed.
"Miss Luca" my boss barked his eyes dark from anger." I take it all your work is completed. As you had the time to have gone out for a date!"
I bit my lip and shook my head. What was Sebastian's problem? This man was too much.
"Mr Monteiro as we both know, I returned from lunch a few minutes ago. Or am I not entitled to a break?"
I would not allow this arrogant beast to frighten me.
"I am a dangerous man Miss Luca" he shouted,warningly, clenching his large fists."Do not cross me."

Britondii Luca pov It had been a few weeks. Two lengthy,depressing fortnights aiming to forget about Sebastian but I just could not.Was it my choice to remember him? Maybe so. Christian who I met on my second day here ,I had gotten so close to and he made living seem not so stressful. I had confided him everything about Sebastian and he did not judge me. He also,using his family's connections helped me to find an apartment;a fairly affordable one on the exact day we collided.Literally. Then shortly after I got settled, I secured a job at his brothers small but fancy restaurant The Choice. There was a job opening, I applied and was successful.Another week elapsed and I used his phone to call John and Lucas who were extremely elated to hear from me and couldn't wait to set up a visit. It was decided then they would come later today when I didn't have to work. I even introduced Christian to them over the phone and he was just as excited to meet them. I finished cleaning my humble a
Britondii Luca pov As soon as the girl's excited squeal pierced the air, I wasted no time. I stood up from the comfortable seat then clasped the handle of the travel bag, nearly sprinting to the exit. I would not deal with this. I could not. I came to this damn place to escape memories of Sebastian and here I was been outed as his lover.Neglecting the dozen drilling stares boring holes in to my back I opened the door, fleeing the bistro. Not knowing my next stop, I proceeded to continue walking down the busy street.I was starting to regret leaving home. Damn you Sebastian Monteiro.Gazing around then down at my watch to check the time,a hard body crashed into mine, resulting in me losing my balance by the sudden trauma and I felt my self stumbling forward but s
0Sebastian Monteiro povAn agonizing ache in my hand caused my eyes to open. I massaged my temples, my head was painfully pounding. I was in my office I now noticed. My lazy gaze descending to my stinging left palm as I regretfully recalled the ugly occurrences of the elapsed night. The wound had become dark over hours. "Fuck!" I bellowed. I had hit Britondii.I used my fists to abuse her.Last night I had acted like a jealous,crazed cloen.A damn fool.A monster.I had shifted my rage upon her. I was mad at her for feelings I had not yet confessed.I had no reason to be jealous. But I was and I had hit her because of that.I envisioned my dad. Or was it just the
Britondii Luca pov All the way to my destination -- tears spilling from my eyes and my lips parched regardless of how much I had ran my tonguethem-- the Blooming Flower, a small, inexpensive but lovely guest house where I would spend the night, mayhap a few days until I had figured out what my next action would be; I bitterly chided, reprimanded myself. How could I have left my best friend as selfishly, as coldly as I had? Without even proffering to him a proper, befitting farewell? Why? Because he would have undoubtedly urged or even peesuaded me to stay? Yes, I had written to him a note, stashed away beneath his fluffy pillow,,for him to see whenever he had risen elucidating, though not in great detail, the reasons for such a hasty, unlooked for departure with an elongated paragraph of a million "I'm sorrys". But still. I kissed him and left.
Britondii Luca pov "Okay Sebastian" I whimpered into an exhausted, beaten quietude and took a dimunitive,heedful step forward but it was as though I had taken a hefty one back because my foot slipped and in that instantaneous moment, I envisaged cascading down to my demise.An endless, high pitched horrified shriek, fell from my throat."Sebastian!"In a breakneck locomotion, stalwart arms engirdled my legs, blanketing them, breaking my would be fatal fall.It had all happened in such expeditiousness so for a brief moment I were ceded to giddiness.The man's voice like a streaming fountain of warm honey, murmured as he lifted me down, his warm breath tickling my skin, erecting the perfidious strands of hair onto the nape of my neck and other parts of my body. "Hush Miss Luca, it is alright now. You are safe.""Is she really, mot
Hello loves, Britondii Luca povInsanely, my body shivered and it was not only the effect of the chilled night air that crept through the half opened plain glass window and connected with with my skin but also the words Sebastian had uttered. "I love you." Foolishly the words repeated themselves into my mind as if they were the best sounds I had ever in my life listened to.I love you. Perhaps at another time, they would have been however tonight, they scared me so damn much as if they were the monsters beneath my bed waiting to attack me, the sincerity in his utterance further frightened me.Was this the way he proved his love to a woman?Physically assault her until her entire body had been rendered benumbed from the pain?Then again it was no secret, Sebastian Monteiro was an excellent fabulist, a ma
