CEO's Fatal Attraction

“It all started with a fatal attraction of one night stand."A man could be seen on the lounge, holding a low ball glass filled with alcohol. He was none other than the Business Tycoon, Augustus Ferrari of Sapphire Groups- the top business organization in Italy. The dim lights of the bar was only making his face visible. His red eyes were clearly showing that he had drunk too much. Staring at the alcohol, he gulped it and then wiped the mouth using the back of his palm.Augustus’ eyes were closing because of the alcohol he consumed till then but, the man was not going to stop anytime soon. “Excuse me, sir,” voiced the manager of the bar. Augustus lifted his head and glared into the eyes of the manager. “Speak,” he said with a cold tone. “Sir, the bar is going to close. You shall pay you bills and leave for your home. Shall I call a taxi for you?” The manager asked politely while joining his both hands. Augustus took out a credit card from his pock

A woman in her twenties could be seen standing in front of the billing counter, cutting the bills. Her hair were tied into a bun. “Here, sir,” Eliana said, handing the bill to a Young man who thanked her and walked out of the café.Eliana looked at her wrist watch and saw her afternoon shift was almost over. She took off the apron and put it aside when Maria came there. “Eliana, you can go. Thank you for doing extra work for me,” Maria said.“It’s fine,” Eliana stated and went to the dressing room. She took out her haversack, put it on her shoulder and came out. Her boss handed her the salary for five hours of work. Eliana thanked him and left for her second part time job.Taking the city bus, she arrived at a restaurant where she worked as a waitress. She walked in, greeted the manager there and went to the changing room.“Eliana, you look tired,” Emily said who came there to change.&ld

Eliana was flabbergasted to see the same man whom she saved the previous night. She kept staring at him for a few seconds when she realized their proximity. She pulled herself back from Augustus’s grip but it seemed to her that he did not want to let go of her, instead he tightened his grip around her arm.Gia, on the other hand, was looking at them with a bewildered expression. “Mr. Ferrari, do you know this woman?” Lorenzo asked.‘Yes.’ ‘No.’The two different answers came at the same time from Augustus and Eliana’s mouths. Gia raised her brow upon hearing the different answers. Augustus looked at Eliana and then turned his gaze to Lorenzo, “Miss Ferrari does not know me at the personal level but we do know each other at a professional level.” “What?” exclaimed Gia. “How do you know her at a professional level? You have never told me about her,” Gia af

The next morning, Eliana got ready early in the morning as she had to go to the hospital as well to see her father. She prepared breakfast quickly and went towards her brother’s room. She knocked at the door and said, “Arnaldo, I am leaving early. See you in the evening.” Eliana turned to go when Arnaldo stopped her.   He opened the door and looked at his sister. “Sorella (Sister in Italian), I have something for you,” Arnaldo said as he ruffled his hair.   “What?” Eliana asked.   “A recruitment had opened up in Sapphire Groups. I have filled your name and today you have to go for th

Eliana frowned upon hearing the statement of Augustus. “I do not know what is wrong with you but I am not interested in working here,” Eliana pronounced. “I shall take my leave,” she said and turned to go when Augustus grabbed her wrist spun her around thus, making her look at him.“How many do I need to tell you that do not leave the conversation in the middle?” Augustus questioned her.“Leave my hand,” Eliana said and Augustus let it go. He then stepped back and went towards his desk. Standing against it, he slid one hand in his pocket and with the other he picked the tablet from the desk. “You do 3 part time jobs,” Augustus read out from the tablet screen, showing Eliana his fingers and continued, “You have pending house bills, and a huge debt to pay which your bed-ridden father has on his head. Most importantly, you need a good treatment for your father else he will be dead.”
