Chapter 115: Chapter 115
At Dante's building
The next morning, Dante was more alive, anticipating how he is going to meet Barbara and trouble her till she have no choice than to accept him back into her life, he smiled at his silly thoughts. Shirley had move in the previous night, so it's obvious that she will have to join Dante and Sally In his car, since Dante is the one who takes Sally to the company most time, on rare occasion that the driver drop her.
Hey man, what's up with your grinning? Jayden the trouble maker call him out of his wild imagination, there at the dinning he is thinking about Barbara again.
Hey stop that, I am not grinning.
Come on big bro, you are grinning probably excited with something of the heart.
Of cause, he is, his princess is back. Everyone move their gaze back to Shirley that is making her way into the dinning, she is beautifully dress, her hair style, her make up, shoes, accessories are glamour, she is like an angel, she is really beautiful.
She is beautiful. Sally said more like a whisper but like Dante, Shirley could hear the slightest whisper.
Thanks, even though I know it's not a compliment, because it's obvious that I am the most gorgeous. Sally pinned her lips together, to Shirley, Sally is not beautiful, considering her grooming.
We should leave now. Dante grabbed his stuff, Sally goes behind him, Shirley peck Jayden.
We will see later or will you stop at the office so we could have lunch together, let's celebrate my first day at work.
Not today, I have an appointment,so I will skip.
Fine then, you owe me one.
Noted, anything for the queen. Jayden added, she gave him a small smile, then frown inwardly, remembering that the owner of the bar the previous night, refer to her as princess while Barbara, the queen.
When Sally pulled the door to sit at the front seat of Dante's car, Shirley grabbed her hand.
What is it?
Don't you think it's disrespectful to sit beside your big bro when his fiancee is here?
Sorry!
Good! Dante closed his eyes as he clenched his fingers around his wheel, if it's possible for him to place a bullet right on her forehead then he would had done that, he would had given her a quick death, so she could get out of his life,
Are we not getting late? Shirley asked with a wicked smile on her face, he nodded then start the engine. Wait and see how I make her miserable, only on my first day at the office. She speak inwardly, still with that innocent smile yet deadly, Sally doesn't seem to like her, even though she act very friendly, once in awhile, she will involve Sally in her conversation, yet the woman is not comfortable with her, they finally arrived the office.
All eyes were on Dante as she click her hand round Dante's hand as they enter the building, Dante wish that the ground should open and swallow him, he knows in the next few minutes, the company will start spreading new of him and Shirley, especially when he introduced her to the board and the company's staff.
Barbara was a bit late that she didn't witness the commotion, she went straight to her office, Shirley office is beside Sally since she is in charge of teaching her everything, she needs to know about the company.
Why is he looking at me again? Barbara sighed and complain, seeing Dante eyes on her. Did I misbehave again? Oh shit! Why did I even get drunk? She is still in her dilemma, when her Telecom ring, she grab in a hurry.
You should come over here, I have the information you are battling with your brain to get. She drop the phone and sighed badly, she knows she is doom, she makes her way to him.
What information are you talking about? She asked like she doesn't know.
Don't you know what you are curious of? Dante turned the question back.
You shouldn't think that I am worried about my action at the bar.
Really? She open her mouth but not a word came out. Fine go back if that is not what you are worried about.
Wait! Dante grinning, Barbara stare at him, for some reason, when Dante smile, she finds it attractive.
Whoa! You are drooling over me, am I really that handsome, nevermind, I ready know that I am looking extremely handsome today.
Why is he acting so shameless today? Barbara voice out then pinned her lips together.
Do you like the new me? Someone said am being bossy, so I thought of, losing up abit.
Who ever told you that, doesn't know you, you are insolent, a weirdo and a loony?
Is that how you talk to your boss? A feminine voice from behind startled Barbara, Dante grin again, he is aware that Shirley will appear in his office unannounced, as soon as Shirley see Barbara walking towards him, she had stood up from her seat as well and she is going to make her way to him. Barbara's words were perfect timing for Shirley.
Hey you shouldn't creep on people like that.
Interesting character, I am Shirley, the new vice chairman.
Oh! Sorry, I am Barbara, nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you too. She smile at her but that smile was a bit awkward is like one of those smile that Claudia could give her in front of their father.
I wanted to asked earlier when I heard about you but it skip my memory.
Hope, we are not having someone with memory issues under this company? She wanted to voice out then grinned at her.
It's okay, we will always meet, knowing that Dante is going to introduce me to the company, as the new vice chairman and...
Ahem! Dante clear his throat stopping Shirley from saying the other words.
Oh by the way, I could see that, most people here are very friendly, I have met Isla and Mila, his assistant and secretary, they are really friendly, I also hope we could be friends as well, since Sally is Dante cousin, and Dante happen to be my childhood...
Ahem! He clear his throat again, this Shirley will be the end of him. You can go back to your section, I will inform you of the time.
Alright! She make her way towards her section, she fixed her eyes on Dante and Shirley.
Ahem! So what do you want to discuss with me that Sally can't handle?
Come on Dante, you are so uptight, you shouldn't always put business first in everything and for the record your girl, is very beautiful.
Who is my girlfriend?
Stop acting up, Sally and Jayden told me about her, how you two met and how she stay with you in your condominium, geez! I never thought you could be really shameless to kiss a girl publicly
Silly! Dante grin again, she adjust Dante tie like it's not probably fixed then she tap his chest gently.
You are becoming a man gradually, board chest, very manly, more open minded and more handsome.
You should stop teasing and give me the files. Dante grabbed from Sally, he needed to explain few things to her although that part of her learning is not needed on her first day but she is looking for way to get closer to Dante and stir trouble for Barbara.
Barbara was on her phone when Dante and her was having a conversation, she had also witness Shirley running her hand on his chest, but that wasn't alarming, it was when she stands to make her way out, Barbara could notice the way she stare at her section then press kiss on his two side cheeks.
It's common for close friends and relatives to greet like that in this side of the world but Shirley is suspicious.
Are you sure, they are just childhood friends or maybe childhood sweetheart? Barbara asked no one in particular, she frown abit. Or lovers? She shakes her head. Barbara stop you should focus more on your work than Li Jun and his affairs, he is nothing to you and you should stop chasing him and move on
