Leniela wondered what was so urgent that Cesare couldn't wait to summon her the instant she entered the estate. Surprisingly Savina had been the one telling her to go immediately to avoid keeping him waiting. The men standing by the door quickly opened it upon seeing her and the messenger approached and Leniela walked in with a 'thank you'. It was the first time she'd entered his office and she couldn't deny how luxurious it looked. The marble floor, walls and the two opposite couches with a glass table at the center were all a mixture of black and red-typical of him. Her eyes moved from the light curtains on the glass window to the office desk which was a few meters away from where she stood and caught sight of him seated like a king. Without moving any further, she cleared her throat to get his attention but it looks like she already had it the moment she stepped in because he has been watching her silently. "You sent for me?" she politely asked. "Where you trying to tease my
"You can't imagine how happy I am to see you Lenie. Truth be told without you every single day was boring, you know that warmth was completely absent". Savina commented with a wide smile. The rest of the afternoon they had done nothing but chat on diverse topics as they waited in Savina's room for Nathalia to wakeup. "I think you added a little too much".Leniela wiggled with a laugh. "No I didn't, I for one was bored for the whole world worst of all was when Uncle Alfredo travelled. I only got to see the two boys in the mornings that's if I got up very early.I know they both have ot of responsibility especially Cesare whom i'm sure has been busy damaging Rocco". Savina concluded with sigh. Hearing the familiar name, Leniela's mood turned sour her smile faded in the process. Savina seemed to have noticed it. "Are you alright girl?". She observed worriedly. "Yeah, it's just you know he wants me back for the same reason he has always talked of". "You already stood your grounds rig
"Going somewhere?". Leniela grabbed her bag from the bed, turned to see Cesare walking inside the room with his hanfs tucked in his pocket before leaning on beside the door with his eyes fixed on her. "Yeah. I have to get going now".She replied with a soft smile. The entire morning she had spent it with Nathalia on girls talk,discussing about different books and so on that she hadn't realised she still had a job to attend to. "You can't leave". He informed in a calm marner. Leniela's jaws collapsed as a frown narrowed her forehead. "I don't understand, you said I could leave just yesterday night and you wouldn't cancel my mom's nomination so what are you talking about now?". She questioned as she tried not to raise her voice-well no one would blame her if she did. So much for thinking he could change and to think she showered praise on him yesterday makes her even more furrious. Cesare didn't react nor did he move from his spot as he looked at her. He could already tell the
"My!, I've never in a million years thought I'll see this day. This is the first time I'm seeing you being yourself to the point of admitting your mistakes". Leniela couldn't keep the words to herself. They were just too beautiful to be hidden. "Then you are just getting to know me because I'm not the type to blame others if I do something wrong". Cesare replied with a genuine smile. "Oh really" Leniela mocked with a scoff then Continued. "I would be a withness to that if that were true". "You are referring to the issue with Nathalia? If that is the case I'lld say you deserve some of those punishments". Cesare defended. "Really! Drowning me to death was a deserving punishment" Leniela asked in shock and amusement at his ego. "Yeah cause back then you were really nosy and sturborn". He replied. "But it's thanks to that sturboness and nosy attitude of mine that I discovered Nathalia. We wouldn't have been friends now if I had just decided to bend to your doings. Sometimes rules ar
When Cesare and Leniela joined the others, they had spent the rest of the time listening and laughing at the memories Nathalia narrated to them. They had also cracked some silly jokes and played little games. Immediately it was time to leave, Lilian and Leniela packed everything up and Cesare had dropped them in the estate before leaving again with the excuse of having a lot of work. "Don't put it that way Nath!". Leniela muttered with reddened cheeks as she stared away from the girls. Savina had pulled them out here in the garden so they could give her all the details of what happened and the first thing she started with was about Cesare and Leniela. "Oh what should I say then? You spent more than an hour just the two of you and by the time you guys returned my fear brother was shirtless while you on the other hand had a change of clothes. Did I say something false Lilian?".She asked, staring at Lilian who wiggled her head. "I already had an idea of what was happening when I saw
"I'm asking you to be my date tomorrow". He repeated with a smile while She flickered her long lashes at him. "A date?". She asked again to be sure and he nodded. "Would it be wrong if I were to feel your temperature right now?". She asked and he laughed. "I'm alright Damigella besides why do you always seem to think like that every single time". He questioned with a mild frown. "You can't really blame me for that cause you seem..different". Cesare gave her a confused look. "How different?". "It's like you're another person, are you sure you aren't an imposter?" She asked again and Cesare smiled, closing the first aid. "So tell me, this 'imposter' that you are seeing and the real Cesare Ferrari, which one do you prefer?". He inquired Leniela tapped her finger on her chin giving it a thought. "I'll choose this imposter, the real Cesare behaves like a mathematics teacher always scolding even when nothing wrong has been done". She replied with a chuckle. Cesare was transfixed
Leniela descended the stairs clad in a one hand long sleve straight silver sequin gown which ended just below her knee with matching heels. Savina had urshered her to take the gown earlier as it wasn't reaveling enough and would show off her figure which it indeed did. Her curled aurburn hair was pushed to the left with silver clips on it. Her makeup was very light with only pink lipstick. "I'm gonna miss my steps if you keep looking at me like that". Leniela shyly said as she spotted Cesare waiting for her down stairs. He was literally almost drooling as his eyes had darkened with lust. "Can you blame me" he asked streching his hands and she gracefully took it. "You look exquisite to night". A blush stained her cheeks" Thank you and you look good too". She replied. He was in a three piece armani suite which suited him perfectly as if it was made for him. His thick black hair was pulled back giving him the smart look. As they walked outside, Cesare noticed some of his men dared
"I wouldn't have expected to see you awake". Cesare stepped inside the room to see her standing by the window. She turned to face him. He could tell she already had her bath as she let her hair fall freely this time downed in one of his shirts which she has come to especially often especially at night. The black shirt looked alluring on her as it ended at her mid thighs. "I thought of gazing at the stars. How was your meeting?" she asked with a smile as she got in front of him and insisted on removing his coat which he finally gave in. "I've been doing this for you don't you remember?". She asked, referring to the suit issue. "Well, since you decided not to be my wife any more I can't possibly allow you to do her responsibilities". He replied. Leniela almost believed from his tone that he was sad. "Wife huh, I thought you only had a 'paper Wife'". Leniela asked with a chuckle. "What if l say I want that wife of mine to be a real wife. Is she available?" He asked cheesily. "Nope"
