Falling For The Double Face CEO

Chapter 2

Gina

When was time for lunch, I was fit to be tied. Jill telling me about Mr Preston’s complaint that I allowed his ex girlfriend through to him was really bothering me.

What he does in his own personal life is his business. But to be upset over something I really had no control over was ludicrous.

I went over to Mario’s coffee shop to grab a Greek salad from him. When I opened the door I ran straight into a wall of muscle.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t see you.” I said looking up into the brown eyes of what looked like a Greek god.

This wall of muscle had black wavy hair that was cut short. Chiseled jawline with a nice tight beard. He was 6’2 and could tell he worked out.

“Zander να είσαι κύριος” Mario says to the Greek God.

“What did he say?” I said

“I said to my son to be a gentleman man.” Mario says to the Greek god.

“This is your son Mario?” I ask him.

“Yes Gina dear, this is Zander, my pain in the ass son.” Mario says.

“Papa please.” The Greek god says. “My father is upset with me because I think he works too much and should hire help. I’m Zander.” He says.

“Gina and I just came in for your father’s famous Greek salad for lunch. I love his dressing.” I tell Zander.

“Ah, yes his homemade dressing, it is his own recipe that he never tells anyone.” Zander laughs.

“Zander, Gina is the one makes the cookies she gives me because she won’t come to Sunday dinner.” Mario yells out.

Zander looks at me and says “those are your pizzelles?”

“Yes, my nonna recipe, I tweaked it a little because I like vanilla more vanilla then anise, but that’s my tradition on Sunday, make pizzelles.” I tell him.

Why am I opening up to this man I just met? I guess it is the Greek in him. I was like that with Mario. The Greeks seem to be so friendly that you want to just open up and talk to them.

“Zander, you need a girl like Gina here, she can cook, she is hard worker, and she is pretty, that is a wife right there.” Mario says

“Papa! Stop trying to marry me off to the girls you meet.” Zander yells.

I blush when I hear this. I’m glad my parents live in California and do not interfere in my life like that.

“Sorry about that, he thinks every pretty girl should be my wife. He said you are hard worker, where do you work?” He asks me.

“Oh, right next door actually. I’m a switchboard operator right now for Preston Enterprise.” I tell him.

Mario snorts and mumbles something in Greek.

“Is he ok?” I ask Zander.

“Yeah, he just being a grumpy Greek right now. You said right now your switchboard operator, do you have plans to be something else?” He asks me.

“Actually I went to school for merchandising, I just need to wait for the right time to get into that department.” I tell him.

“Gina, your salad” Mario yells.

I go and grab it, and pay Mario for it.

“Thanks for the chat, I got to go eat this then back to work. See you Mario.” I tell them men inside the coffee shop.

Zane

I watch as this beautiful brunette walks out the door. The whole time we were talking I was looking at her. She wasn’t the typical model like women I usually asked out.

She had an hour glass figure that wasn’t on the skinny side. If I had to guess, I say she was a size 14-16. It was incredibly sexy on her. That long brown hair, she looked like a goddess. I could understand why my dad talked about her.

“Papa, do you know Gina’s last name?” I asked him.

“Lamborghini I think. It lamb something. Why you going to spy on your employee?” He says.

“Papa, it doesn’t hurt to just look into her profile, she said she went to school for merchandising, so maybe she needs to step up from switchboard, not spying.” I tell him.

“Don’t lie to Papa, you thinking of dating her?” My dad asks me.

“Papa please, I don’t want to do that.”

“Uh huh, Gina is a good girl, she is wife material, she isn’t like those girls you date.” My dad says.
