Working With Alfonso

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

Aurora {POV}

Hmm, I wonder what's that delicious aroma.

Whoever that is preparing that food, is from heaven because I haven't smelled something so, so scrumptious.

"Should be Casey, but Casey haven't prepared a food that smells like this"I stated.

"Maybe she's trying a different method....she's my number chef".

Wait a minute! I clearly know that Casey isn't at home and so am I.

I remembered having a serious disputation with that buffon Mr Andino.

He insulted my integrity, kissed me then kidnapped me from the office and i found myself in the helicopter.

Helicopter?.

Shit!.

I opened my eyes finding myself in an unfamiliar room.

These room is luxurious unlike mine at home. The beautiful silk on the bed made me wanna sleep more, which I can't knowing my present situation.

Another thing I admire is the beautiful paint on the wall that matches the wonderful canopy over my head. Its felt like am a princess from the ancient powerful dynasty.

"I must be in Mr Andino home" that was clear enough since I must have dozed off in that boring air ride.

"Finally you're awake" a voice sounded from the door way, making me snap my head to that direction.

I scrambled away from the bed and walked to him in a long stride.

"Why am I here?"I need answers because I don't know were I am.

Since I slept all through the ride to the point I found myself and in an unknown room, escaping will be of low chance.

He ignored what I said and checked is watch.

"It past dinner time, you haven't eaten since breakfast".

"Whose fault is that"I glared at him.

"Miss Aurora....."he started.

I interrupted him, "now his miss Aurora....I wasn't missing Aurora when you were tongue deep in my throat...now you wanna display professionalism".

"Aurora can you please let me talk.....in fact you coming with me to the dinning room to eat and when done, then I'll talk."

I heaved a sigh and agreed since my stomach is grumbling and demanding for food.

**********

"Gosh am stuffed.....I won't eat again ever" I declared.

Mr Andino laughed at my Annunciation.

"Keep saying that.....from my observation through this dinner have come to know one thing from you"he smirked.

I furrowed at that.

"You miss Aurora, you're a gourmandiser".

"What's that?"I asked clearly lost by his huge vocabulary.

"I mean to say to are a glutton".

He didn't just say that to my face.

"Me a glutton, say that to the person That just ate twice my food within the space of ten minutes"I retorted.

"Now, now am a man with a huge responsibility on my shoulders, I need the food"he defense.

I snorted at that, "that huge responsibility you claim to have is also assisted by your employees.....why will you think of that since all business men have this huge ego and think they do all the work."

He smiled at me and sipped from his red wine still looking at me.

"Okay Mr Andino, I know that you have some things to discuss with me....so you know why don't we dwell on that, and quietly go back to our personal lives"I reasoned clearly in the state of blowing up by hesitation.

"Alfonso".

"What?".

"Call me Alfonso"he said.

I was dumbfounded by what just came out of his mouth.

"I should call you by your name"I asked to be sure of what my ears just heard.

"Sí".

"But..but, we employees don't call there boss by there name"I argued.

"Were are we miss Aurora".

"Hmm...your home I guess"I said unsure, to be sincere I still don't know if am in his humble home or somewhere else.

"Yes you're in my house, and when we're outside of work I want you to call me by my name"he said.

"But...."I started but was interrupted.

"No but miss Aurora...just do has you've been asked"I said with a firm tone.

I nodded.

"Then you can stop calling me miss Aurora but Aurora instead"I negotiated.

He smiled, at least we both have come in agreement of something.

"Why did you say all does in the office earlier?"I needed answers.

He heaved a sigh and told me to follow him to the parlor.

We both sat on the chair but different ones facing each other.

"Aurora first I wanna say am sorry, it was wrong of me to say such unkind words to you. You know I had this illusion that both father and daughter are the same".

"Your dad has done so many things in the past to which I can't voice out by myself.....It took us a few years before all the mess was cleaned and to stay far away from him"he said.

"When I meant you at my hotel, I didn't know who you were then but secretly admired your humbleness. Later I concluded to find out more of you because you did bruise my ego in front of a crowd"I chuckled at that.

"Immediately the information about you came and i say your surname and everything concerning your family, I was deemed to bring you down and even more when I found out you work in my company"he continued.

"My main aim was to set you has my PA and to have eyes on you because i've have pictured you has a spy and traitor to the company".

"To wrap it all up, using your sister has a levage to get more info about your family made me see who you truly are"he stated.

"So am I pictured innocent?"I asked teasing him.

He smiled and rubbed his face.

"Am sorry about everything and hope you can forgive me for using those words on you...it was not very wise"he apologized sincerely.

I would have said no, if I didn't understand his willingly ness to protect. I'll have done the same, if I was in his position.

"I understand and have forgiven you"he smiled at me.

"Alfonso...can you tell me the reason for the dispute between our families, I wanna know"I wanted to fill my curiosity.

Dad refused to tell me, so I can get it from another person mouth...that's if his willingly to talk.

"Another story for another day"he said.

"Can you tell me the reason your dad called you that day"he asked.

"I do know you were spying on me but I'll tell you even though"i smiled and he grin sheepily.

"My dad asked for the Chinese contract you sealed, for which I don't know why, in return he will give me all I inherited from my grandpa"I explained.

He nodded and smiled.

"Thanks you for your honesty, we retire for bed and tomorrow we talk more"he said.

I gave him a nod and went to the room I was ones in.

"I feel relieved that we have come to an agreement"I smiled.

Quickly watching up and retiring to bed for a nice nap.

***********

Next morning I woke up from the noise coming from what I assume downstairs.

If it wasn't for my morning grogginess, i'll assume am hearing a kid voice and an adult voice arguing.

Trying to go back to sleep but still that noise was preventing me, so with much difficult, I stood up yawning and scratching my back side.

I know if I leave this room without maintaining myself, I might scare whoever i'll encounter. Am a very rough sleeper.

My hair looks neat and well arranged before bed but when am awake the new morning, it stands at attention.

Quickly taking a bath and brushing my teeth to remove the morning breath stench.

Now the only problem is the clothes am gonna wear.

While I was deliberately on what to wear since there isn't any.

The door opened and luckily I was in a robe but an elderly lady entered with something with her.

"Miss...my sir want you to come down and have breakfast with him and also this clothes are for you"she dropped it on the bed and walked away.

Very considerate, I put on the gown, which reached my kneel and a short long sleeve having designs of flowers imprinted on it.

I went to the dinning area I was in yesterday evening and saw Alfonso sitting there like a king.

He was sitting not touching his food but rather looking at the figure I failed to notice sitting by his left.

I gasped in astonishment, my eyes aren't playing tricks, right?.

Right next to Mr Andino is clearly a younger version of him but with the age I assume will be six years.

The little boy turned to me and that made me gasp the more, he has his eyes, hair, nose.....everything.

Is little cute voice brought me from my thought.

But he spoke in a language I didn't understand, which I guess is greek.

"Έχω εις σε¿"

(Who's she?).

"Eh?".

He then smirked at me.

"Oh God, another Mr Andino"I mumbled to myself.
