Enrico Pov...

When I left her at the hotel where she stays, I'm jubilant and excited for another tomorrow. My smile never faltered as I drive home only to be ruined by Diana's appearance.

I didn't mean to snob her the whole night but my appetite sunk to see her. I feel she's a thorn in my throat and I can't breathe. I want to get out and breathe.

Leaving her early in the morning without a word is the only way I know to give her a sign that we can rekindle our past. I need to remember she left me for no reason and left me alone facing all the criticism and embarrassment.

Dad's meeting was my perfect scapegoat. The meeting ended around lunch and all I can think is to reach Kendra again. I want to eat lunch with her and anything more. She is a drug that comes into my life that I can't run away from. I will chase even hell I will just be around her.

She never answered directly but I could feel she couldn't resist me like how I was hypnotized and fascinated by her. I called Mike to find o

I step on my break quickly stunned and hard creating a loud noise!While driving I couldn't believe what I saw so I called Mike who is working with Enrico, he might know something that I am unaware of!

    Kendra Pov...Seeing Enrico at that meeting was unexpected and surprising. It seems our world is too shallow and we always stumble at each other's. Can I have a day without him or is it just the place is too small for us? I can't manage myself every time he's around! He weakens everything in my body even my voice and words are hard to find! What exactly did he do to me? When I met him five years ago none of this happened but why now? This can't be happening between us! Then you must stop yourself fantasizing and being manipulated by his charm. I cried. His smiles and smirks send shivers and others that words can express it. Fuck Kendra! After my meeting with Devu, he pulled me out of the restaurant. I don't know where he is dragging me until I find myself following him at the parking. He couldn't restrain himself and pulled me to kiss. We kiss like it's a free world and no one can see us. He almost lost himself, thank goodness with that loud brake, he woke up and pulled me to his c

    Mike Pov...Enrico decided to have a general meeting today with Devu and Kendra. Months already passed and what we had accomplished together was far from what we imagined. Enrico is jubilant in disbelief, he orders to have a congratulatory party. While we are brewing something to enjoy this coming weekend Diana is already at her edge and not pleased with Enrico's ignoring her. We are not aware that she is just lurking around watching Enrico's movement. "Are you sure we have to do that this weekend?" I ask Enrico."Of course Mike! It's the company's achievement." He replied still jubilant. The smile on his face is refreshing and contagious. I looked at Devu and he smiled as well but there was something behind his smile. He doesn't believe that Enrico is happy because of the company, he believes Enrico is happy because of something else! Well, everyone is entitled to their opinion and judgment. Whatever it is, I don't care as long as it's good. Life is too short to gamble with nothing

    Diana Pov...I miss Enrico and couldn't get hold of him for almost a month already. When he comes home I'm already asleep and he leaves earlier than his usual time. I'm annoyed that I can't see him. I know barging into his office isn't professional but I used to do that before any time. No one questions when I am there but why he was mad at me? I wanted to stay longer but I could feel his heavy aura changing the atmosphere. Never felt that creepy vibration. I feel goosebumps and chilly.Choosing to leave is not a cowardly act but to save my face. I have never been embarrassed like that in my life even when I left him before. Suppose he is punishing me for what I have done before I can stand it but not for another reason. That woman, there is beautiful and alluring. I look at myself and I'm still the woman he loves before but I feel conscious seeing that stunning simple woman.I stayed in the comfort room for a while to cool down and be comfortable.
