CHAPTER 2

1789 Words
Anthony's POV My PA, Stephano, delivered the files to my desk and then I dismissed him. "Boss, these are the files you requested and here are the photographs of the new hotels that are to be decorated," he stated. My beast friend Leonardo Lucas entered my office and said, "Hey Antonio, what's up." I questioned Leo, "Leo, what are you doing here?" He added, pinching my cheeks, "I'm only here to see my closest friend. I said, "Stop you i***t," and he gave up by raising his hands. He sat down in front of me and asked, "Anyways, what are you doing tonight? ", to which I replied, "Probably work. Why?" while attempting to focus on the papers in my hands. He remarked, "Oh come on you are no fun. Let's go to Blue Night today," and I immediately began to reflect. I had to find out how things were going with Blue Night. The first pub that Leonardo and I opened together was called Blue Night. It was quite challenging because our parents expected us to handle it on our own and didn't want to offer any assistance. When it finally became successful, our fathers gave their company to us. Leonardo inherited his father's jet firm and restaurants, whereas I had inherited chains of hotels and eateries. Over time, Leo and I consolidated our restaurant chains and expanded our American bar and club operations. We are also regarded as the most successful businesspeople and eligible bachelors in the US. We always get what we want, and girls are constantly after us. What can I say, we have the kind of looks that attract girls.It's only one-night stands or plus ones for occasions that need my presence because I don't do commitments. While it is wonderful to know that girls adore us, it is pitiful to witness how frequently they thrust their genitalia in our faces as a result of our wealth. All the girls I've met so far are just gold diggers. Leo spent around thirty minutes with me before he went to get ready. In an hour I shall join him. I need to do a few of these tasks before choosing which design firm to get in touch with. I often hear that I'm a workaholic, but I suppose that's fair to say. Anyway, after finishing my work, I shut my office door and said goodbye to my PA as she was preparing to go. I parked my Ferrari and drove away from the area. I saw a blonde female strolling up the sidewalk while I was driving and listening to music. Wow, what a lovely girl. Following her, I slowed down. Doing that makes me feel like a stalker. I ought to quit. When I noticed a man approaching her, I suddenly picked up my pace. That seems to be bad. She made a little bend, saw him, and sped up her steps, but she lost her footing and fell. Shit! I stopped my car immediately and got out. She was kicking the man in the balls as I got to where she was. I can't believe I was going to save her when she hardly needed it. That girl is absolutely ideal. She bumped into my muscular chest when she stood up and turned because I was so near to her. I grabbed her waist as she faltered and was about to fall. She raised her head and met my eyes. I was immediately attracted by her stunning blue eyes. My attention was drawn to some grunts coming from the man who was lying down when all of a sudden the girl broke free and took off running. What is her destination? Even her name eludes me. I accelerated along the road in my car after running to catch up with her. I parked at the end of the road and watched her enter the car securely as she was going up a driveway. I experienced a new sensation when I touched her. Right now, I'm absolutely acting like a stalker. I went up to her house after her. I have to leave the room, sh*t. I then sped out for my penthouse. I was thinking about this stunning girl I had seen earlier when I arrived at the bar. She had a goddess's appearance. I've never experienced anything like this before. I have lost interest in the female who is currently speaking with me. I'm only thinking about that girl. I could see the fire in her eyes, and she appeared innocent. That's what drew me to her in the first place. Her purity and the passion in her eyes. I must learn more details about her. A girl approached me asking if I would like to dance while wearing a very short dress. I began to experience discomfort. Leo asked, "Anthony, what's wrong dude? You just rejected such a hot girl," while suspiciously glancing at me. "No thanks," I replied, pushing her hand away from my shoulder. I sigh as I turn to face him. I then explained everything that had occurred earlier to him. Leo raised his eyebrows and added, "Bro, are you sure you feel okay? Ohhhhhh, maybe that girl just stole your little heart, Anthony." Just silly, this. I said, pointing at myself, "Come on Leo, stop being stupid. You know I don't do love. Anyway, that is just a stupid feeling. This has no heart." I responded, and Leo just gave me a sneer. "Having a heart means having feelings. Having feelings lead to being weak. Being weak is not something I want to be," he continued. I'm not expressing any sentiments or frailties; simply the reality. He handed me a glass and said, "Whatever you say man. Whatever you say." I said, "Thanks buddy," and sipped the beverage. We drank in celebration of our accomplishment after I said, "The club is doing really great right now; this place is the beginning of our long journey." I can't stop picturing the enigmatic girl. I must know her identity. I reached for my phone and checked my contacts. Exactly what I needed. Josh, my private detective. As soon as he picked up, I heard, "Hello Johnson speaking." Collins here, hello," I said in a serious voice. He said, "Yes sir, what can I do for you?" I whispered, "I need you to hunt for a female. Then I gave him her home address. I was aware of it because I had earlier stalked her like a stalker. Josh replied, "Yes sir, I will contact you as soon as I get the reports," and I disconnected off. I made the decision to return to the penthouse since I was getting worn out and irritated by all those false girls surrounding me. I told Leo, "Leo, I'm tired. I think I'm going to leave right now," and he gave me a surprised expression. He smirked like an i***t and added, "You haven't even looked at any girls tonight buddy. What's wrong? Mysterious girl has taken over your thoughts huh?" I turned away from him and said, "Shut up Leo. I am just not in the mood right now. See you tomorrow." Mysterious girl, you certainly have taken over my thoughts. Simply put, I'm not going to confess to Leo. Otherwise, I would never stop being bothered by this guy for it. Maybe if I bring her to my bed just once, I'll be able to put her out of my mind. That is the move, I agree. She will be gone from my thoughts in one night. Anabelle's POV Beep, Beep, Beep. I spun around and shut off my alarm. I had to get ready and make breakfast because my parents won't be here for another hour. I have to get ready right now. Being a Saturday, my little sister will be joining me at work today. I used the bathroom and brushed my teeth. Today, let's just wear something loose and comfortable. I put on a sundress and went downstairs after that. I prepared my own unique fried egg-rolled toast. It seems to be really popular. Actually, Andrea is totally fixated on it. Belle, good morning," murmured Andrea as she entered the kitchen. I murmured, "Good morning, sunshine," as I set the breakfast plate in front of her. She responded in a theatrical voice, "Oh my god. My favourite. I love you Belle." I told her, "I know, I know Drea. Everyone loves me," and she laughed. I nodded in response to her question that my sister would arrive soon. After a while, my parents and my little sister Anabella arrived at my house. She is my dearest love. Due to my job, we don't see each other very much anymore. Ana is playing with her teddy bear when I asked her if she would want to eat something before we went to the cafe. I agreed when she said, "No Belle, but can we go to the park later?" I said, "Let's go, Ana. Hop in the car. I'll be right behind you." I then proceeded to get my bag. I should have told my mother about the internship, I just realised. Ah, sh*t. When I call her, I'll let her know. After locking the front door, I went to the car. "Oh my god she is sooooo cute. When you walked in with her I thought that it was your daughter that you were hiding from us. You never told us that your sister was that little," Madisson exclaimed with a smile. Andrea was already in the driver's seat, and Ana was in the rear with her seat belt fastened. I apologised to them and said, "I never thought to tell you guys that. Thank God Mr. Smith didn't mind if I brought Ana to work as long as it didn't interfere with my work. She nodded as I added, "Ana, you can do your colouring here, you stay with Madi, and if you need anything just come and tell me okay." I then went to take the orders of the arriving customers. I can't believe I have to leave for my internship and leave this place. I adore everyone here. I suppose there are times when we must make sacrifices. I went to Mr. Smith's office and told him I was leaving this position. He was initially stunned before wishing me luck and expressing his congratulations. I never imagined Mr. Smith to have a heart or to truly be happy for someone. Anyway, he told me that it is a loss for him because he loved having me around and that I was one of his greatest employees thus far. After that, I resumed providing client service.
