Chapter 1
Isabella groaned as she heard her phone alarm go off, rolling off the bed, unwillingly, she grabbed her phone and turned it off and went to the bathroom to get ready for work at the Moretti Tech Industries.
Dragging her feet to the bathroom she got on with her daily routine and got ready for work. Just before she left her apartment she checked herself in the elongated mirror she placed strategically on the door.
She had on one of her power suits, she choose an emerald suit with a cream silk shirt and black heels. She paired it with diamond studded earring and her hair in a ponytail.
Isabella was a lovely, beautiful lady with shoulder length light brown hair and blonde highlights in-between. She had hazel eyes and passionate bow shaped mouth. Paired that with her dimples, you only saw when she smiled, curtesy of her father. Once she was done she walked to the living room to grab her bag and left her apartment. Taking the elevator, she pressed the ground button. When the doors opened, she came face to face with the doorman as soon as she stepped out.
Aaron was a friendly guy in his forties who had worked in this building for 12 years. He greeted her as he bowed.
“Miss Isabella, how are you today?”
He smiled at her as he handed her a cup of tea. She gave him a toothy smile back, accepting the substance.
“Same as yesterday Aaron, same as yesterday.”
She replied as she walked outside to her car. Isabella made her way to work despite the heavy traffic. On her way to her office the CEO sent her a message to come to his office. Moretti Tech Industries was a company run by CEO Billionaire Santo Moretti whose forefathers built in order to evolve the world. It was made up of global companies from all parts of the world.
Isabella had been working there for nearly 6 years now and had recently been promoted to Vice President of Public Relations. This meant she had a whole team she was in charge of besides the company’s image and she now reported directly to the CEO. Sighing heavily; she made her way up to his office level with trepidation. This would be her first time going there.
Isabella wasn’t exactly a fan of Santo Moretti, the man was excellent at his job but simply awful with people. Unfortunately she had to deal with him as he was Dexter’s friend. Dexter was her older brother, Santo and Dexter happened to be childhood friends. She hadn’t seen him in three years as she tried to avoid him as much as possible.
Isabella entered the CEO’s office floor and went straight to his executive assistant.
“Good morning Nicholas.” Isabella greeted cheeringly.
Nicholas look up from his screen and looked at Isabella then grabbed the phone.
“Morning Isabella, it is nice to finally see you in person.” Nicholas smiled at her.
“Dido Nicholas.”
She watched him wait for the person on the other end of the call, “She’s here sir.”
Nicholas nodded then beckoned her to go in.
She squared her shoulders, took a deep breath and walked into his office. She decided to look around in the office. She was instantly drawn to the paintings until she saw his view. She went straight to the windows. This was the first time she had been in his office.
“Wow.” She whispered softly.
“It’s amazing isn’t it?” A deep, sexy voice dragged her back her back to reality. She turned around and came face to face with him, almost except that if she wasn’t on heels she would have to look up. She thought he had the nicest light green eyes, his body was well built, one could see it although he was wearing a suit.
That mouth, oh how gorgeous and ripe it looked. Did he have to have such beautifully long lashes? This man was what girls fantasies were made of. He had luscious, curly, raven black hair that made her… Isabella cleared her throat and spoke to him.
“Mr Moretti, good morning.” She murmured.
He smirked at her. “Isabella, I’m sure you can call me Santo or are you still calling me asshole these days?”
She opened her mouth to say something but nothing came out.
