Deep love: insatiable lover

Dylan and Cecilia arrived just as Vanessa was finishing the paperwork and letting Enrique take it.

-What brings you here?

-Dad and I wanted to surprise you.

Cecilia said in a sweet voice.

The little girl slipped out of her father’s arms and ran a few steps towards Vanessa to hug her leg intimately, lifting her little face to look at her.

-Dad and I even brought Mum a present.

-Did you do it? -Vanessa bent down, picked her up and sat her on her lap, “What’s the gift?

-A cake. I was worried about Candy’s hunger on the road, so I went to buy a cake and you have one too. So go eat it to refuel while you’re off work for a while.

-Good.

Vanessa nodded, she was indeed a little hungry and a cake was the most appropriate thing for this time of the year.

She got up with her daughter in her arms and went to the coffee table and sat down.

Dylan walked over with the cake, opened the box and placed the two preferred flavours in front of each other.

-Eat, I’ll fix you something to drink.

-Tough.

Vanessa looked up, smiling.

-It is not difficult at all to serve my babies.

Dylan finished and turned to leave. He soon returned, with a cup in one hand, containing whatever Vanessa and Cecilia liked to drink.

Dylan had gone from being awkward at first to being a breeze in their care. He sat across from them and watched with a smile on his face as they happily ate their cake.

After knocking on the door, Enrique entered.

-What’s going on?

Vanessa asked, looking up.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

-There was one detail that escaped me, so I brought it to you for review.

-Sure, give it to me.

Vanessa said and was about to catch up with him, but Dylan beat her to it:

-Go eat, I’ll check for you.

-Very well then.

It was a piece of cake for Dylan to take care of this document, so Vanessa didn’t stop her. She continued to eat her cake while Dylan flipped through the file to see what was going on.

-XiWi Group?

The name of the XiWi Group appeared in large letters on the file and Dylan raised an eyebrow without saying anything.

-Well, the XiWi Group is a cosmetics company that Pacifica City is well known for. They have recently launched a new range of skin care products, which is top quality. The XiWi Group has good potential, so I thought I’d get in touch with them. What’s up?

Vanessa sensed something in Dylan’s tone and explained herself first before asking.

-Did you contact the XiWi Group or did the XiWi Group contact you?

-What is the difference?

Vanessa asked with a frown and some uncertainty.

-Santiago applied for a job at the XiWi Group after being fired by the Pomar family and is now the assistant to the CEO of the XiWi Group.

Dylan had barely finished speaking when Vanessa made the connection and understood what he meant.

-You’re saying it’s probably a trap?

Dylan nodded.

-Exactly.

The other side probably thought that SJ had him, Dylan, so they couldn’t do anything about it, so they went after the Cazalla Group, Vanessa’s head.

If this Santiago was really up to no good.

Even if there is no suspicion on his part, the fact that he has been with Moses before and has just joined the XiWi Group as assistant to the CEO, and then the XiWi Group is looking for a partner for its new skin care product, makes the whole thing suspicious.

There could be no such coincidence in the world.

-So what do we do? Reject the XiWi Group partnership?

-Why should I refuse?

Dylan smiled a wicked grin, with a sly, calculating glint in his eye.

-Are you trying to… put a calculating spin on it?

Just as Moses had tried to trick Dylan before, only for Dylan to do it.

-Brilliant.

Dylan finished, corrected the small flaw in the document and handed it to Enrique.

Enrique, who had overheard the conversation, understood what was going on, and didn’t have to worry about anything with Dylan around. The XiWi group tried to set up the Cazalla group to set up Vanessa, and they sure fucked up in the end.

Enrique nodded and left.

-You know what? If you hadn’t brought Candy here today, just in time to see this document, tomorrow the Cazalla Group and the XiWi Group would have already signed. I am very positive about the growth potential of the XiWi Group and I think the launch of their new product is great.

says Vanessa with a smile.

-So yes, we are very lucky stars at Candy.

Dylan said with a smile, looking at Cecilia with loving eyes.

-Whether the XiWi Group is scheming or not, we will not fall for each other’s tricks if our guard is up.

-If Santiago were a conspirator, he would have guessed that with our connections the Cazalla Group would be working with the XiWi Group and I wouldn’t have known about it. Now that I know, naturally I won’t let it go.

-So our plan wouldn’t be useless?

Vanessa said with a frown.

-How could it be useless? -Dylan smiled enigmatically, his eyes sparkling. Maybe we’ll take the plan or whatever James would like to see.

-So you’re still going to do this?

-What we can think of, Santiago can’t think of. In short, it’s like a game. Santiago knows our methods, so he has another plan. But how does he know we’re not going to bluff?

Vanessa:…

It’s about two cunning old foxes who know each other’s plans, but pretend to be confused and pretend they don’t know them. It’s about calculating each other and competing to see who is more devious and cunning.

He told her that Dylan was definitely black when he opened it.

-Well, don’t worry about that, just eat the cake. Later our daughters will finish eating.

-Mum, eat up, the cake is delicious.

Cecilia also took the trouble to look up and said.

Vanessa smiled, pinched the tip of her daughter’s nose and continued eating the cake.

The partnership went ahead and, after some haggling, the contract was signed with alacrity.

The Cazalla Group, as a strategic partner of the XiWi Group, would not only share the formula of the new skin care product, but also the production rights. Of course, the XiWi Group is sacrificing a lot and the Cazalla Group has to give a corresponding benefit.

The Cazalla Group’s shopping centres must have the XiWi Group’s cosmetics counter, and it must be in the best location.

In addition to this, there are other rules and regulations…

In short, it’s a win-win situation.

-Heh, Dylan, you really did it after all.

Santiago grimaced and put the contract back in the drawer.

Dylan had guessed correctly that Santiago had indeed guessed his set-up, but he had pretended not to know and had gone along with the original plan. To confuse Dylan and hide the real plan.

What lies beneath the surface of the calm is Dylan’s encounter with Santiago.
