Broken Angel

I saw an angel

Massimo was studying the file for the last time before the meeting with the Spanish investors, as he was sitting at the backseat of the car, that was taking him to the restaurant.

"Did you talk with the manager? I need everything at lunch to be perfect, this meeting is too important."- asked Massimo in a demanding tone. 

"Yes sir. I checked the menu, is everything as by your orders. Also, the translator must have already arrived at the restaurant by now. "

"Good" - he said without looking at his  P.A not once. 

The car stopped and he got out of the car. He really was a man with a strong presence and an aura of power. Massimo was very tall, muscular, and handsome and was considered to be the most eligible bachelor in the country. He had a sharp mind when it comes to business and dealing with people. In a short few years, he achieved to multiply his wealth by creating a financial empire, thanks to his smart investments, creative ideas, and hard work. When his mother delegated almost all the companies to him, at first it shocked him. Almost everyone was sure that he would fail and they will lose all their money and power. But then he was determined to prove his worth to his mother and to the rest of the world, so he gave the very best of him and achieved tremendous success, that he became addicted to it. He was a billionaire, a powerful and influential man, in the most important circles of the elite.  

This meeting was part of its plan to expand its businesses and financial empire to Europe and had been preparing for months. Even after achieving so much, he was still hungry for more. 

Massimo entered the private V.I.P area of the restaurant and greeted his potential future partners that were waiting for him.  They all took a seat around the table as the staff started serving at them into time, but a translator was not to be seen. He turned to his P.A who was speaking on the phone and had a worried face. 

"Amanda, where is the..." 

"Sir we have a problem, the translator is currently at the hospital. She had an accident on her way here" Amanda whispered and her throat went dry by the angry look on Massimo's eyes. 

"Then bring here another one now. They will leave the country in two hours"

"Sir it would take at least an hour..." 

Massimo gestured her to stop talking, furious at her. He kept a poker face, as he didn't want it to leave a bad impression but he was beyond angry. He was a man of a short temper and now his most important meeting that he had worked so hard for was totally ruined. He was trying to think fast of a way out of this, but there weren't any convenient solutions, adding more to his frustration.

" Hola Caballeros!  Yo soy Rosa y estoy para servirte"  the soft voice of a girl interrupted his thoughts. He looked up and what he saw took his breath away. She had the most beautiful eyes he had ever seen, their bright green and radiated innocence. She had long dark hair, a delicate face, and the body of goodness. And she looked like she wasn't even aware of the beauty she possessed. Not only that but she was speaking fluently Spanish with his partners, who were clearly impressed by her as well.

"And for you sir? What would you order?" she turned her attention to Massimo, who was staring at her intensively.

"You," he said without a hesitation 

"Excuse me?" she replied looking at him with wide eyes, as she was taken back by his words. 

"I need a translator immediately as the one I hired had suffered an accident. You seem to be fluent in Spanish, so I need you to translate," he said in a demanding tone, admiring her beautiful face. 

After his words, she looked confused and was searching with eyes some other person from the glass door. Out of nervousness she unconscionably bites her lower lips and that simple action of her made Massimo's hard, suddenly his pants were too tight for his member. "f**k" he thought trying to control himself.

"Sir by the orders of the manager I am here to serve your table. I will ask for another waitress and give the orders of the gentlemen to her and I will be back in a few minutes. Is that okay for you?" 

He nodded with his head. 

"Will you and the lady order anything?" - she asked politely.

"Whatever they had for us too and bring the best wine bottle you got" - he said. "And hurry up"

.... 

The lunch went smooth and Massimo's spirit was high. He could almost taste his new success and that gave him a strong sense of euphoria. The girl who was translating not only was fluent in Spanish but seemed to be quite familiar with the terms of business and high technology. The Spanish investors seemed to be very optimistic and excited even, during the conversation. As the girl would translate, Massimo could not stop looking at her speaking. She radiated beauty and innocence, he felt the sudden urge to protect her, to own her. As the Spanish businessman said something he could not understand to her, she smiled in shyness and he felt like his heart stopped. "Focus Massimo, focus, you are acting like a f*****g teenager, what's the matter with you," he thought to himself.

At the end of the meeting, they already were in agreement and everything had gone much better than Massimo expected. Before leaving the oldest of the investors turned around and shake his hand with the girl. 

"Gracias por todo mi hija. Salvaste nuestra reunión y tiempo, y gracias a ti abriremos muchos puestos de trabajo. Eres tan lista como eres hermosa"*2 - he said in a fatherly tone. Massimo did not understand a word, but he could clearly tell he was praising her, which she did deserve and he was feeling grateful as well. 

She blushed which surprised Massimo, he really did not believe that they were still girls who would blush when taking a compliment. 

"Solo cumplí con mi deber. Muchas gracias por sus amables palabras señor, les deseo todo el éxito" *3

Massimo accompanied them to their car and as they left, he turned back to the restaurant. He found her cleaning the table on her own. 

"What was your name?"- he asked her and she looked up to meet his dark eyes. She did not expect him to turn back. "My name is Rose sir" 

"Rose, today you did a great job and actually saved my meeting. Thank you" 

She smiled politely, lowered her head, and seemed to blush again. "I only did my job, sir, no need to thank me"

"I will make sure the manager give you the generous reward that you deserve" 

"Oh no no sir, you really don't need to do that. As I said, I only did my job. My manager asked me to be on your full severance today. His boss, the owner of the restaurant asked him to even... "

"I know Rose. I am his boss" - he replied in a calm voice and she looked stunned. "I am glad I have such a quality staff," he said before leaving without adding anything else.
