*ALORA* I suppose I could eat with him. As a way of thanking him for agreeing to be less mean. We sat beside each other on the couch and I tried by all means not to get turned on by him.Just eat quickly and get back to your office. God, the food tasted, heavenly. It was so good. “Where did you order this from?” “Chef Gio made them.”I almost choked on the food.”Che..chef Gio?”He nodded as if it was nothing.Chef Gio was a well known chef. Some even called him the best Chef in Argentina. He owned his own restaurant and he also does outdoor services but he was always booked for the year before a year even starts. “You got Chef Gio to prepare lunch for you?” I asked. “For us.” He corrected. “I wanted to make you lunch myself but I was busy with work all morning so I had him prepare all these.”I eyed him.”Why do you keep lying about cooking?” “I’m not lying. There is absolutely nothing I can’t cook.” “Well, I’d loved to
*ALORA* “Are you hoping to convince the public with such poor marketing presentation?!” And that was Lorenzo’s deep voice. We were at a meeting at Ford Group and so far, all my colleagues were on edge.I had complains about literally everything. “Weren’t you interviewed before they employed you?!” “How does the employment process even work? Do they just employ just anyone?!” “You’re fired!” “Next!” “That design is hurting my eyes! Take it out of my sight!” “What department are you even in? You should be a janitor!”Gosh, his words were so mean and harsh. He fired two people that morning and made three people cry. Soon, it was my turn to present. I was always confident about presenting but right now, I was a bit nervous about getting embarrassed. Still, I tried to look confident and I stood in front of the projector and explained the new product line to him. As I explained, I noticed there was no
“Does he live here, mom?” Lucia asked as she and her mother got down from their car. They had just arrived at the Armani’s family house. “From what I heard, he has his own private villa.” Paula replied. She had managed to secure an invite to this dinner party organized by Lorenzo’s mother, Marina. Marina had organized this dinner for only mothers and daughters in the high society. As the mother of the most sought-after bachelor in Buenos Aires, she believed it was her job to find a great wife for her great son. So tonight, she was going to pick 5 ladies and then made her final choice among them. Even if it was as if they were auditioning their daughters out to a man, these women didn’t mind as long as the man was Don Lorenzo. The invites were only limited to twenty families and more than fifty families had fought tooth and nail to secure an invite. Those that didn’t get an invite felt as if they had missed out on a once in a lifetime opportun
*ALORA* “Oh my gosh! It’s time! It’s time!” I heard Alma squealed as I walked into the house.I had just returned home from my outing with Milena. “Time for what?” “Oh, Alora, sometimes, I wonder what planet you’re on, this news has been trending all day, like the number 1 news online. Don Lorenzo is getting interviewed by KBC TV tonight.” I nodded in comprehension.”I heard he barely grants interviews, is that why people have been losing their minds?” I asked. “You’re talking about it so carelessly. He rarely makes an appearance on TV, so this is like a blessing to us all. Millions of people have been waiting for this all day.” With that, she hurried away.I shook my head.Wasn’t she fan-girling too hard for her cousin? Well, I was suddenly curious to watch this interview too so I headed to the living room. Javier, Julieta and Grandma were already seated. Alma was seated so close to the TV. I sat down too. The interview began. Lo
Milena laughed. “She has the man now, yet she’s still obsessed with you?”Milena chipped in. “Could it be that it’s Alora you want?” Milena and Alora chuckled, and then Alora moved closer to Camila. “Sorry, Cami. If I were gay, you won’t even be my type. So focus on that bastard Gael, okay?” With that, both women sashayed away leaving Camila speechlessly standing there.Did Alora just speak harshly to her?Bastard Gael? It seemed as if she didn’t give a fuck about Gael. Camila turned around to find that Alora and Milena had already gotten into their cars and had left.She had been transfixed on the spot for a long time. And why does it seem as if Alora had gotten more beautiful?She had expected Alora to look haggard and miserable knowing that she had lost Gael for life.Was that truly Alora? Camila wasn’t sure.That wasn’t the Alora she knew. She recalled back then when Gael had broken up with Alora and informed her that he wanted to be with Camila
My lips parted recalling that Lorenzo had sucked on my neck. Reeling in that moment made feel hot and bothered.I guess he left a mark on me.Well, there was no need to feel guilty or explain anything to Gael.We were in an open marriage.I owed him no commitment. “Do I need to explain anything to you? And don’t you need to go to work or something?” “I…I forgot a…I…where’s that file?”He stuttered and looked around, awkwardly before leaving the room. I sighed and headed for the bathroom. As I stood naked in front of the mirror, I craned my neck and stared at the red spot on it. I closed my eyes as a wave of arousal hit me again. My nipples hardened and I sighed, I was yearning to be touched right now.Touched by Lorenzo.I was sure that if he gets me cornered again and kisses me, I might just spread my legs for him. Gosh, this was frustrating.************** “What?! You mean to say all these happened just two weeks of me being away?!” Milena let out after I
