Chapter 32 - Need to apologize.
"Hey." Alfredo said anxiously at the beautiful woman who stood before him. She seemed puzzled, she
had not been expecting to bump into him on her way to the hotel staff room.
"Ehem, Mr. Molinero." She cleared her throat. Alfredo's body guard was so glad they had finally seen
each other because his boss had become beyond unbearable. His eyes flickered to her petite body, the
way she nervously looked at everything but him. He didn't want her to fear him in fact he just wanted to
love her and shower her with gifts like the Queen she is.
"It's Alfredo." He pursued his lips into a thin line. He didn't mean to come off as rude. He regretted the
way those words had left his lips. Alfredo just wanted to hold her in his arms and tell her he convince
her that he wasn't the monster that society seemed to make him. She must have heard the rumors or
read the papers; he was the devil but only because he needed to come off as intimidating towards his
rivalries. Her lips shaped into an 'O' clearly she wanted to say something but he looked at her eagerly
as she closed her mouth and her pink lips formed into a thin line.
"Mila-" One of her co-workers greeted as they passed by the corridor. She gave them a small gently
smile, it didn't reach her eyes. It was almost noon and she had been called to take an emergency shift
from Frances the oldest hotel maid who was in her late thirties but didn't look at day over twenty-five.
She knew she would have to face her fears one way or the other. She would eventually have to face
Alfredo either way because he was persistent and he was starting to bug Della. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
"Allow me to take you out to lunch-" Alfredo said giving her a warm smile. She felt herself shiver with
warmth, how could she deny him. When he looked so concerned, so caring and so adamant. "I
presume this must be your lunch hour? I could always speak to the manager to let you off early."
"NO!" She came off as aggressive. "It's not my lunch hour and I will not just leave my job just to wine
and dine with fucking-" She paused. "Gang leaders." She said under her breath.
"We need to talk mi amour." Alfredo said ignoring what she what just said.
"And I need to go back to work!" She said adamantly.
"Mila-" He chuckled. "Don't make me drag you out of here." He said calmly, it made Mila shiver with
fear. She didn't understand how this scared her and turned her on at the same time.
"Uh-" before she could say anything else, he interrupted her. "Book us a table at the Montego
restaurant right now." He instructed his body guard who seemed to grab his phone immediately.
"Get the car ready." His body guard instructed.
"I'm not going anywhere dressed like this." She whined.
"You look sexy in that dress actually my pretty sexy maid." He smirked making her blush.
"Stop." She wanted to smile but put on her most convincing angry face.

Once all set, Alfredo turned to look at Mila. She felt beyond nervous but she kept telling herself you can
do this…
"I'm not a bad man, Mila." Alfredo said almost vulnerable. "I know it's too early and believe me... I don’t
usually say this but I love you."
Mila swallowed, he had not even touched his food. In fact he didn't know why he had even ordered in
the first place because the only person he wanted to eat was sitting in front of him. He clenched his
jaw, restraining himself from getting hard in this very serious moment.
"That's the thing..." She replied softly. "I don't love you. Just because you love someone, you just can't
expect them to love you back. I don't know how?gang leaders?do it but-" She paused looking at how
he was fuming. She took delight in pissing him off but at the same time it turned her on.
"Mila, I have tried being nice to you." Alfredo warned making her flinch.

"Are you coming to the party?" Benjamin Levetté asked his wife who had just popped out from the
adjoined bathroom now making her way to bed.
"What party?" She questioned indifferently.
"Leo is turning seven-" He smiled tenderly making Jeanine roll her eyes.
"I should've known but I didn't get an invite." She shrugged.
"I got one so I just assumed you had received it as well." He replied.
"A seven year olds party would be the least interesting thing I would ever attend..." Jeanine said
nonchalantly.
"You need to apologize, we can't keep running in circles like this. I want my family together, I want my
son to be happy, i want my grandson to be involved in this family not feel like an outcast." Ben said in a
annoyed tone. Jeannine ignore her husband and turned to look away, pulling the blankets to her side of
the bed.
"Childish." Andre's father uttered almost fuming. He then grabbed his phone on the bedside and turned
to leave their room. In all honesty, he wasn't going to deal with his wife's mood swings. He just wanted
her to do the right thing. Do right by their son, do right by their grandchild... this party would be a great
opportunity for that.
Jeanine pretended to be asleep until she heard the door shut closed. Ben had never treated her this
way before. She was utterly shocked by his behavior. Jeanine immediately grabbed her phone and sat
up straight on the King size bed she shared with her husband. She scrolled down all her contacts
discovering she did not actually have Adela's phone number. She sighed before scrolling up to Andre's
phone number-
It rang once, twice, thrice...
Repeatedly.
"The number you've dialled-"
Jeanine didn't know how her life had become so complicated.?
