Tales Of Love

Aurora snotted. She turned her face away. Her mother was against her attitude to Santiago. Does anyone know how much she hurts when Santiago fails to trust her?

“Have your lunch, When you get back, we need to talk. And once again, Congratulations on your new office” Mia said, stood up and walked out.

She was not expecting Aurora to give her an answer anyways. She had asked Aurora on the way from the party the other day if she and Santiago loved each other but like today, she didn’t give her an answer.

She Stepped out of Aurora’s office into the secretary lobby. The scene that greeted her was not pleasant. She saw the secretaries talking In whispers. Jane even had to leave her desk to her colleague’s desk to gossip, she guessed.

When they heard the door Suddenly open, they put on a serious expression but it was already too late. Former CEO Mia Rowan had seen them whispering.

Mia knew that the visit of President Axel to Aurora and the few lines of their conversations that fell into the ears of secretary Jane would soon spread among the employees.

She will have to caution Aurora never to let her private affairs get mixed up with her office life. She stared at Jane coldly. She had to help conceal what transpired between her daughter and Santiago that day. But she had to start first with these secretaries.

Jane sheepishly went back to her desk and buried her head on an empty file. CEO Mia was a tough woman when she was occupying that office and even now, she can still influence any decisions regarding the employees.

“It will be better for you if you have your lips sealed . If a word of what transpired here today gets beyond this office, count yourself an ex-employee of this company” Mia threatened.

Jane looked up and saw Mia Rowan staring at her with a cold expression. She shivered and dropped her gaze.

She should have been more careful and not allowed herself to get caught. But how was she Supposed to know that former CEO Mia Rowan was going to come out so soon.

“Can you rehearse to my ears what I said you should be quiet about?” Mia asked her.

“I have been sitting here all day and no one came in to see the CEO. Neither have I heard anything. I don’t have an idea of what you are talking about ma’am” Jane thoughtfully answered. She dared not raise her head for fear of meeting Mia’s gaze.

Mia’s lips twitched.

She’s very smart. She liked it when one worked or talked with a smart secretary. It makes work interesting and less burdensome.

“Mm.. mm” She grunted and simply strode to the elevator.

Santiago returned to his hotel room with a frosty expression. He’s gotten enough humiliation from Aurora that he would take a break from chasing her.

He loved her to the moon but can’t stand her present ego. But she can’t stop him from seeing his kids. She had spent close to three years with them but he hasn’t got as much as an hour staying by their side. He was going to contend with her if that’s what he has to do.

He poured himself wine and empty the glass in a gulp. He soon finished a bottle of red wine. He had a high level of tolerance for alcohol that after another bottle, he was not close to being drunk . He then lit a cigarette.

He stood at the window and looked outside as the sun rays cast his shadow over the room. He kept smoking until Jasper Milo opened the door and came in.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

As soon as he shut the door behind him, he knew his boss was in a terrible state. The atmosphere was tense and walking closer to Santiago he felt he was emitting a chilling aura.

The room was filled with smoke and yet, Santiago doesn’t feel awkward about it. He kept smoking, but his mood was frosty.

He had told him he was going to invite Aurora for lunch and talked things over with her. Had Aurora snubbed or given him a cold shoulder?

“Speak!” Santiago instructed in a hoarse voice without looking back. He knew it was Jasper Milo who just walked in.

Jasper Milo coughed slightly. “We can move into the Villa any moment from now”

Santiago had instructed him to buy an apartment. He checked online and found various apartments available for sale. He chose a Suitable one, a Villa to be precise and paid for it. He then went to the agency in charge to sign some papers and obtained the keys.

“As for the eldest master of the Kushner family, he was highly despised for his love affairs.

He had Suffered many scandals all having to do with his notorious attitude of forcing women into his bed. He’s a criminal who still walked the streets because of his father’s influence”Jasper Milo gave reports of his investigation.

Santiago dropped the cigarette on the ashtray and turned to face Jasper Milo with a poker face.
