novelxo Chapter Conflict
Natalie eyed her friend who was more like glaring him, she cleared her throat to break the tension.
'Sure, go ahead. I was already leaving to keep check on the kids' she forced her lips in to stretch to form the smile on her face and quickly scoot away inside the mansion where she saw kids running. Autumn swiftly turned her head to look at her friend in shock who so happily was ready to leave her friend alone to deal with this giant arrogant man, but Natalie ignored her giving them the privacy to talk. 'I don't eat humans' seeing how she was nervous and was looking back continuously, Alessandro said in annoyance.
'I never said that you eat' she muttered in the same annoyance as him, a sigh escapes his lips and he shook his head. Alessandro's eyes captured her appearance, her straight long blonde hair were still tied in a bun but this time they were neatly tied, she was wearing simple pink and purple dotted dress that was glowing on her fair skin, her plump lips were not coated in any lipstick and their natural pink color twist him inside wanting to have a taste of them. The annoyance in his voice vanished spontaneously, he felt that the woman had a totally different effect on him.
'I don't have much time, so I will be quick, your cooperation will be appreciative' she crossed her arms and rested her back with the dolphin's sculpture that was attached with the wall of the fountain.
'Okay, I'm listening' she encouraged him to go on.
'It is now confirming that you guys will be living here with us from now on, so what are your plans related to your job?' he wanted to listen her mind and plans related to her.
'Plans? There are particular plans related to job right now, I am expecting a promotion next month so it is obvious I will keep working for your company' he nodded after a long pause, he was mentally working on what he should do the first thing after reaching to company.
'Right, and what about kid's school, I've learnt that they were going to the kindergarten or babysitting to be more specific daily' Autumn squinted her eyes to watch the man intently.
'I don't remember telling you that then how did you know?' she was tapping her foot on the ground.
'I have my ways' he leaned against the wall of the fountain, Autumn nodded, once again irritated by his arrogance, she was silently gritting her teeth while talking to him, she just realized living here will be the test of her patience on daily basis but she can't leave this place for her mental peace because her reason of being alive will be here.
'Let them be going there as usual, I and Natalie both have jobs and we won't be available to look after the kids, the owner of the school is a nice lady moreover she ensures the kids safety' Alessandro shook his head.
'It was when they were not here, we have plenty of servants who will look after them, they will properly look after here so you should call to that nice lady and inform her about pulling out the kids from her school' Autumn fisted her hands and stood abruptly.
'Mr. Martini, I appreciate your concerns for the kids but let me remind you they are not only your kids they are mine too besides a mother knows well about how to raise a child, I am attempting my responsibilities very well since three years. I think it will be best if you will not interfere in the ongoing matter of our life' Alessandro clenched his jaw, no one has ever raised their voice against him except his father.
'I can't trust that small school and my kids will never go that cheap area anymore, before today was the different scenario and about your thought, I will interfere because they are my kids too and I have equal rights of making decision related to them' they both were glaring in to each other's eyes.
'Fine, go ahead and find a kindergarten school that will meet your status, but they won't stay at home'
'But, what is the problem if' he tried to argue but Autumn beat him in to this.
'I am accepting your one condition; you accept one mine. It's simple' he nipped the corner of his lower lip.
'You win, but next time we will discuss before taking any action, no one sided decision making' he warned her, Autumn rolled her eyes.
'Whatever' she turned to leave the garden.
'Where are you going, I have not finished yet' she spun her head to look at the man who was fully dressed for leaving for the work. 'Aren't you getting late for the work? Besides we have to go for the shopping' sighing he saw her disappearing behind the door.
'She is tough to deal' after their conversation, he muttered the remark on her.
Clara was driving her car to the location of Martini groups head office, where Alessandro's office was resided, when she received the call from her father, slowing down the pace she lifts her phone to answer the call. 'Yes dad!' her eyes were fixed on the straight road ahead.
'Where are you? You are not in the office?' Clara smiled.
'Yup, I am heading towards Alessandro's office, will call you later after our meeting' she chirped, but in response she heard the defeated sigh.
'What happened dad?'
'Angelo called and apologized. Suddenly they have found the twin kids of Alessandro and now are not interested for any marriage. They took off their proposal' the car stopped with jerk, her grip on steering wheel tightened. 'What do you mean they took off the proposal? And from where they found the kids? You believed their nonsense?' she yelled with clenched jaw, her eyes turned red with the rage that was building inside her.
'I did ask, but Angelo was not interested in going in details' a bitter chuckle left her lips.
'I am going to see Alessandro, we will talk after I come back to office' she tossed her phone and increased the pressure on the pedal zooming out the car.
