Me and nicholas were chatting when someone knocked on the office door.

"come in" nicholas said.

And then the beauty walked in with hands filled with shopping bags. Candice was wearing a maroon off-shoulder dress and in all she was looking stunning with a little amount of make up.

"hey niko and hello Mr. DeLuca" she said and I just noded. I have told her to call me zachary but no she will never listen.

"what is all this?" nicholas asked referring to the shopping bags, while she was grinning excitedly.

"these are for my niece and nephews. I just shopped a little when you called me and now just come straight to point what do you want to talk about and then we will go for shopping, since because of you I had to come here instead of shopping with liam" she said pouting.

"this is too much candice, kids aren't even born yet. And by the way I want you to go to italy" nicholas said coming staright to the point.

"seriously I love that place but for how long and why?" she asked frowning.

"because your boss retired and now we have to hire a new one, which will take time so I want you to become my P.A. in italy and you'll be there for about a year" I said clearing everything.

"i don't wanna work for you, beside I have to find an apartment there and so much other things but mostly I can't leave rosaliya" she said and crossed her arms and pouted like a child.

"you don't have to worry about your stay over there, it's all covered. Please candice I never asked anything from you" nicholas insisted and she sighed softly.

"okay fine but you'll have to go shopping with me since liam went home after all you're my best friend niko" she stated grinning evily.

"sure zachary can go with you but I can't, cause I have to go and be with my lovely pregnant wife" nicholas said and I thanked him by smirking towards him.

"it's okay ill go alone and show my shopping to rosaliya she's gonna love it, so bye guy's" she stood up and went outside .

I gave a salute to nicholas and went after her.

"candice wait I'm coming" I said and then me and her entered the lift.

"Mr.DeLuca you don't have to I can go alone" she said giving me a polite smile but I wasnt going to back down.

I held her small soft hand in my big rough hands.

"sorry mio amore but I'll go with you and that's final" I said dragging her towards my silver ashton marti.

She tried to get out of my hold but I tighted my hold. I forced her inside ignoring her glares and rambling.

We reached the mall and everbody was watching us, especially thinking what a billionsire is doing here. Guy's were staring at candice long creamy legs since her dress was a little short which I certainly didnt liked.

I put my arm possessively around her waist, she tried to get out of my hold but no use.

"what are you doing?" she said glaring at me.

"start shopping mio amore" I said with a smirk.

"okay so where to go first?" i asked.

"i just need to buy make up therefore we need to go to channel and sephora maybe mac too, then I have to go to Victoria secret while you will stay outside, got it." she said dragging me towards channel store. I really liked how she was dragging me by holding my hand.

We went inside the store and she started shopping.

"why do you want someone to shop with you?" I asked curiously following her like a lost puppy.

"cause guy's usually have good opinion specially, so here which blush is pretty rose colour or peach one" she said

"i think the rose one" I said cause it will look cute on her. Wait did I just said cute. What is happening to me.

"i knew it, well let's go to the billing counter then we'll go to Victoria secret" she said and I smirked thinking about her buying lingerie.

She went to the counter and paid for her stuff before I can give my credit card.

"why did you gave her your card?" I asked annoyed.

"because its my stuff" she said and we entered victoria secret.

"you are comfortable in buying lingerie with your boss" I asked smirking.

"well for starters boss, I have already bought lingerie when I was shopping with liam but before I can buy hoodies and shorts nicholas called me to come" she said picking up whatever she need.

The thought of her buying lingerie with liam and liam knowing what she bought made me feel rage.

As soon as she bought all her stuff I took the shoping bags from her hands and then dragged her towards my car holding her hand.

I drove down to her house in fastest speed. Cause I was seeing red I don't know how will I control my anger.

"Mr.DeLuca please slow down" she yelled but I increased the speed instead.

"please, just slow down" she yelled but I still didn't care, we reached her apartment and I stopped. I knew where she lives because I gave her a lift one day.

I looked to my left to see candice getting out of the car but I didn't miss those few tears that streamed down her cheek. She ran inside her apartment without taking her stuff.

Shit!!! I'm such an idiot. I fucking scared her.
