Chapter 3-02 He seemed reluctant but i really wasn't giving him a choice. "Okay" he finally nodded. " was really nice to meet you all by the way and thanks for letting us play with you Thomas" Justin said as he grabbed Jessie's hand. They gave Thomas a quick hug and then me. I made sure Thomas got in a taxi home before I left to find this guy. I pulled out my phone and searched him in google. It came with a lot of articles but I finally found what I was looking for. I clicked on his companies website and located his building. It made more sense when his building wasn't far from here. Now as I see the name printed over the big building in the centre of London I realised that I recognise the business name more than the man himself. My dad worked here when he was younger, I knew that. I think my dad used to have meetings here all the time back when he was into architecture, I'm sure he did his apprenticeship here when he was younger too, but I can't be sure. I walked inside quickly. I was surprised i was even allowed through the lobby doors but i still had to make it through reception which was going to be more difficult. " Hello darling, how can i help you," a lovely older woman said walking up towards me. She scared the living daylights out of me. " yes actually, is there any chance i could talk with Mr Tesoro," i asked her. There was no point in lying i was hoping she would appreciate my honesty. " Sorry darling but he only speaks with people who have an appointment" she explained sadly. I sighed, i was expecting that response so i wasn't too surprised. He must be quite busy and i doubt he wants to spend his time speaking to a girl like me. Maybe i could just slide into his Dm's. i could even do it on the hotel account, not like my parents would know. I really thought my luck was off but from the corner of my eye, I spotted him. He was running up the large staircase with a woman following him quickly. The woman in front of me eyed me suspiciously. I ran over to the stairs " Mr Tesoro" i shouted, desperate to get his attention. He paused at the top of the stairs. I breathed deeply relieved. He slowly turned around and i knew from the look he gave me he knew exactly who i was. Maybe not from the hotel but rather from 20 minutes ago. " let her come up," he said loudly at the woman in front of me. She was sceptical but i guess whatever he says goes. She allowed me to go up. Everyone around me stopped to stare. Probably wondering what business I have with their boss. Nathaniel didn't stop to wait for me but instead headed straight to his office. " Okay, you're very lucky to even get the time with Nate so make it quick he has a meeting in 10 minutes," the woman said walking up to me, she handed me a visitor lanyard. I guessed this was his assistant. I guess she was on a nickname basis with him. Makes me think shes showing off to me that maybe they are closer than just colleagues. Not like i cared that much anyway. She left me alone quickly when her mobile started to ring. The door leading to his office was open slightly. I slowly stepped inside. As I walk into the office, I'm surprised at how messy it is, papers are scattered everywhere on his desk and floor. Seems like he has had a rough morning. When I scan the room there are no decorations, no picture frames on his walls or his desk and not a comfy chair in sight. I'm guessing that he doesn't spend much time looking for comfort in his office but Isn't this supposed to be an architectural company. "Take a seat " he says bluntly. "Thank you" I say quietly almost like a whisper. I always seem to be more confident with eyes on me or with a group of people but being alone with Nathanial Testoro is proving to be very difficult. He is extremely intimidating. Taking a deep breath I slide my tongue along my lips to try and wet my lips from their dryness caused by being nervous. "I just wanted to come here and ask you about what you did earlier you know down the street I know it was you who left the money" I asked him. Finally, I look towards him, he has a thoughtful expression on his face. All of a sudden, his eyes widen and he becomes angry " " I really thought you'd be different. All you women are exactly the same" he says clearly annoyed. I don't understand why he is so angry. " I don't think you understand" I said narrowing my eyes at him. If he's implying that I am just here for more money he is sadly mistaken. " oh I do though. I suggest you leave here and refrain yourself from seriously embarassing yourself. Try to not use men for money, its an ugly quality" he snaps pointing over to his door. He pressed down on a button and spoke. " Come and escort her out and meet me in the conference room" Was he seriously not going to let me speak. Just judge me like this. I wasn't going to let him talk to me like that. I walked up to his desk and grabbed a pen and paper. I scribbled down the number for Thomas quickly. "I am not here to ask you for more money, I am here because that boy wanted me to find you. He wants to know if they money was all for him, since he wanted to share it all. I cant stand to hear another word coming from your mouth so when youre not sucking your own d**k, give that boy a ring" I slammed the paper into his chest. Men were infuriating sometimes. I don't know if I was seeing things or was that guilt in his eyes. But he must be crazy if he thought I was going to ignore the fact that he accused me of being a gold digger. The moment the door opened revealing his assistant I stormed out, not bothering to wait for her. I just wanted to get out of here. Chapter 4-01 I was desperate to get out of there. I ripped off the lanyard and left it on the front desk. The minute I stepped outside I booked an uber to pick me up and take me home. I was too emotional to find another way to get home. After catching a taxi, I arrived back home. I quickly kicked off my shoes and unzipped my dress before slipping in my bedsheets cover me. It was way too early for sleep but I didn't know what else I could do, this Nathaniel just ruined my whole mood. A loud banging wakes me up from sleep. I sit up rubbing eyes and checking my phone for the time. It was 8 in the morning. Had I really slept for that long? I'm surprised my parents didn't come in and check on me. "What a Surprise " I mutter earning a scowl from my best friend as she storms into my room. "So dear Retty why am I seeing less of the Kardashians and more of my best friend on the news?" Of course, she would, wait what the news. "Oh god, you don't know, " tam says mortified. She pushed her phone into my chest before heading to the kitchen probably to pour herself a drink. Alcoholic of course. She pulled up a video on one of those entertainment accounts and the information was there. Nathaniel can be seen walking out of his building as the reporters ambush him with questions. The video was followed with footage of us playing on the street and then it goes on to talk about the connection between myself and Nathaniel' family. "So, what happened when you went to Mr gazillionaires place then did you get down and dirty did you finally lose that virginity sign you have marked on your forehead. " Tammy always has to bring in my virginity thing every time. I toss her phone on the sofa to the sitting room and head to the kitchen. "I will never do anything with men the likes of him," I say annoyed as I think about yesterday all over again. Tammy looked at me strangely, her eyes squinting as she gave me an 'are you serious look'. "What, the hot, gorgeous and sexy type you're telling me you never want to jump onto that waggon, give me a break Retty you'd be stupid not to, and you had the chance this morning and you blew it, you've let down the entire female population." I'm not quite sure if she's annoyed, Angry or upset I mean she looks angry and sounds upset. This girl is giving me mixed signals. Tammy, she always looked after me we became friends in university and now we are getting an apartment together. She's always trying to set me up with boys younger and older but I just was never into it, guys just want one thing nowadays, a simple hump and jump. And I can't give that to them, I'm not experienced and I want my first time to be special I know that sounds lame and everything but it's true. My parents, they were first-timers for both of them they met when they were both 25 at a party thrown in London it was my Uncles party and he set them up and they hit it off. I want what they had and, I want to meet someone and be attracted to them and want them and for them to want me. The first year of uni I met this guy it was freshers I didn't drink neither did he at the time and we hit it off we were in the same course so we had the same interests and it was great. But the next night when we went out together, he was drunk extremely drunk he tried to take advantage of me when I went out for some fresh air, and that was when I met Tammy, she saved me from being r***d and I'm so thankful to have her, she may always try to set me up but she will never let me date someone without asking him questions and doing the whole 'you hurt her, you die' she took English literature she has an act for being very theatrical. "Hello, Loretta" tammy questions, waving her slim tiny hand in my face. "Oh sorry, I was just thinking about. " "Nathaniel Tesoro, yeah I know hun," she said knowingly. " I get that he's successful and good looking but whatever is beneath that body is darn right ugly," I said. "What do you mean " she questions me. "What I mean is he's cold-hearted and insulting. He accused me of being a gold digger and was incredibly rude for someone he only just met" "Oh, Retty I'm sorry". I shake my head at her. "No, it's okay he doesn't know me and he's never going to get the chance to, egotistical jerk" I mutter pouring myself a glass of red wine, I don't actually like wine but it's there if I'm feeling sad or depressed. It really does the trick "you know what dear Retty we're going to go out tonight, you need to let loose we are hitting the town tonight so take a shower" Slightly confused I send her a look. "Girl you stink don't give me that Look." I have nothing to wear. "Tammy nothing fits me anymore my ass has gotten too big," I say frustrated while throwing random pieces of clothing across the room. "Shut the f**k up b***h, you just don't want to show any of those legs you've got going on, your dresses are fine now wear that midnight blue one" "The one with the cutouts, " I ask. "Yes, that one I bought that for you but you haven't even worn it, " tam says annoyed "Fine pumps or strappy heels," I ask looking over my collection of shoes. "Strappy of course " Sighing, I grab my dress and head for the shower. Tam is right I do stink I might need to wash twice maybe three times to actually become worthy of being outside my bedroom. After my shower me and Tammy ended up staying home all day and watching Dynasty, it was our obsession. By the time we were going insane just being in my room, we decided to get ready together.
