Davide did not understand what was going through Derek's mind. He was feeling very bad and very tired and the thoughts in his head were endless. He felt like the whole world was against him. He looked at Derek whonwas just standingbyhere looking into space, in his heart he had thought that he had finally dounf the fakiky thatbwoukd treat him.luke one of their own but unfortunately, he was met with this kind of life. He was met with this unfortunate circumstance. The man didnt love him. The man was treating hik.like hebwas a slave. However, Davide felt that it wasn't all Derek's fault. He understood the man though, davide had given Avery so much power that she even managed to mess with him in his own comoany, she ruined his chances of ever turning himself into something better. She had ruined him and this was what derek was angry about. Since he couldn't be angry at Avery, he pushed the anger unto the person who had given Avery the opportunity to do that bullshit. He was turning his an
Davide looked at Avery expectantly. To be honest, he didn't believe that she would want to open up about everything. He didn't believe her when she said she would tell him but he needed to give her the benefit of the doubt. He wanted to believe that there was still the slightest good in her. Avery however was hesitant, she wondered if it waa better to just tell a lie because that could be more believable than the truth. There was no way she could possibly tell davide what had happened because if she was the one in his shoes, she probably wouldn't even believe the person. Davide was patient with her, he was waiting for her to make a move, for her to talk, for her to tell him the truth she was hiding from him. He was waiting for everything she was keeping from him. Avery sucked in a deep breath. The unbelievable truth was about to escape her mouth. She was desperate so she had no choice but to tell him everything. "I was paid to do so". She admitted. Davide frowned deeply, "framed?"
The day of the anniversary finally came. The anniversary event that had had Davide and derek on their toes for weeks was finally here. Davide was anxious, there were so many things that could go wrong and he was already seeing how those things could blow up in his face. He was thinking a lot of things but it was only due to the fact that he was very nervous. He couldn't even make a bow tie. His hands shook as he tried tying the knots, his neck had ripples of sweat stuck to them and no matter how many times he dried them off, he couldn't completely get rid of them. He was surely nervous and what also put him.on edge other than the fact that this event was going to determine his future, he was going to the event with Cassie. She had told him their outfits matched. The color of the tux he was wearing was linen gray. Iy matched the vibrant color of his eyes. His beard was nearly shaved and he made sure he wore perfumes. He wondered if there was a possibility that everything would go smoo
Davide's heart skipped a beat. He didn't know how to answer Zeta's question, he felt like he was a kid caught for stealing candy. He himself could not explain what the kiss was about, just that it made him feel jittery. It made his heart flutter, it made every bone in his bones anticipate, and made his loins hotter. So what words could he use to describe such a thing? What words was Zeta expecting him to use to describe something so unexpected, beautiful, lustful and genuine? Davide shook his head, he had been trying to not think deeper into the kiss because he knew that Cassie was a beautiful woman and so she has surely had her fair share of romance and flings too, he guessed that to Cassie it was just one mindless kiss but yo him it was something more. It was something he couldn't get out of his head for days, it was something that was keeping him on edge, it was something that made him unable to look Cassie in the eyes, it was something he wanted to happen again. He didn't know wh
Mr Lee was quite taken aback to see Davide. He hadn't expected that the man would grace his office with his presence. Mr Lee was anything but pleased especially as there was an annoying smirk playing on Davide's face as they made eye contact. Mr Lee rose to his feet, he needed to show a bit of respect or at the very least, acknowledgement as he saw Davide and that was the only reason he stood up to his feet. Davide smiled and walked to the table, he was making eye contact with Mr Lee and he was very aware of the fact that Mr Lee hated having him in the office. Davide didn't care anyway, all he cared for was telling Mr Lee the news he brought with him. It didn't matter to him whether Mr Lee had anything to tell him or whether he was pleased to see him or not. "How may I help you?" Davide clapped his hands, "congratulations Mr Lee, you're my new assistant". Mr Lee frowned, the displeasure on his face was quite palpable. He was battling yelling all sorts of profanities at Davide, he
To say that Mr Lee was angry was an understatement. He was furious, livid, outraged, what was left for him was steam coming out of his ears. Davide who was the cause of such rage was busy smiling at the female employee he had been talking to, Mr Lee didn't have words for him, he hated Davide so much. He had hated him from the beginning but now, Davide was making him.olan his death. He wanted to kill Davide if ever given the chance. "When you get back, drop the fike on my desk" Davide said to him offhandedly, his attention still fixated on the person he was conversing with. Mr Lee could make out a lot of stares, they were looks made with words backing them up which meant that they were surely talking about him. He was the perfect example of fallen from.glory and it was all Davide's fault. He would still be sitting in his office, drinking coffee and ordering people around. He was more than happy to leave and so.he instantly exited the department. As he walked out, Mr Lee took a de
Derek frowned slightly, he saw the domineering look in Davide's eyes and he felt the power that oozed out of Davide. He didn't expect that suddenly davide would be acting in such a manner towards him. He wondered if it was as a result of the power he had gotten. Derek wondered if he had made a mistake by making Davide get the position. Those words that came from Davide meant that he had grasped an understanding that the empire was his. Derek wondered if a day would come when davide would send him out of the house because he felt like it. He didn't know what to think of Davide anymore. He was worried for himself and his life. The boy standing before him was having too much authority, one that he could not handle but of course Derek could not say anything. Davide's father did work his ass off just to make sure that his son got the life he needed. Although the boy did not grow up in wealth his inheritance was enough to make sure that his generation to come will be well fed. "Are you t
Davide looked at Mr Lee speechlessly. In the past, if anyone had told him that Mr Lee could act silly, he would have told the person they were high on drugs, but before him, standing with a smile on his face and raised eyebrows and rosy red cheeks, being exactly how Davide would never picture him. It was kind of creepy, scratch that, it was very creepy and Davide didn't know how to react to that. He was sitting down, he had the urge to jump to his feet and run away in fear. "Please, don't do that. It's very creepy" he said to Mr Lee. "Why? Don't you believe that I can care for you?" Mr Lee asked him, still smiling. Davide shook his head, "you hate me Mr Lee, you hate everything about me and so I can boldly say you do not care for me and please stop smiling". "But I bought you food," Mr Lee pouted, gesturing to the food. "And how do I know it's not poisoned?" "Do you want me to feed it to you?" "I'm asking you if you poisoned it and you want to feed it to me? Feed it to yoursel
