Chapter 5
Ezequiel sighed and bowed when he looked at him. “Can’t help bud, I can’t help but think of him.” he said and looked back at the ocean, “this is his favorite place to go just to see the beauty of the ocean, especially when the sea is calm.” he looked up at the sky again before he spoke again, “he always compared the ocean to people, and That’s what I will never forget.” Ezekiel immediately wiped the tears from his eyes, he didn’t want his friends to see him weak.
“Is that the reason So you always go to sea? Because of him?” Raphaël asked but he let out a forced smile. D*mnit! I hate being weak! This is bullsh*t!
GIANNA was just listening as her mommy and mother -in -law talked. but he was suddenly stopped when he caught its attention to what they were talking about.
“I told my son to get married that since I’m not a child anymore, I want Grandpa.” Eleonora said, they have finished eating so they are on the terrace of the mansion and drinking tea. “But he said he doesn’t want to get married first because he said he will focus on the business of this clothing line first, I just want to see him happy before I disappear, since his fiancee passes away he seems to have lost his appetite for life.” he added and sipped her tea, “I’m waiting for something to come into her life that can melt her icy heart.” Her chest suddenly throbbed when her Ninang Eleonora looked at her. She gulp and sit properly, and she smiled awkwardly. Why is she looking at me like that? it looks like he wants to send something to me.
Gianna is getting ready because today she is going to the company referred to by her manager, but before she goes there she will meet Claudette first. It arrived 3 days ago, and because they are both busy ab now they just thought of meeting.
she immediately hop in her car and slowly drive it to the Virgo Restaurant. Tss, she hissed when she remembered something. Of all the restaurants here, did audette think of that Virgo Restaurant ?! She mumbled to herself. virgo Restaurant is a well-known restaurant because of its delicious dishes. And it’s becoming more popular because, it’s owned by a well-known bachelor in the country. she came back to her sanity when her phone suddenly ring, she immediately connect it to her Bluetooth airphone and answer the call.
“Audette ..” anito when she answered, she heard a little chuckled on the other line.
“Hey, Thilde not changing eh?” and It laughed, “well, I’m on my way to Virgo, see you there honey, mwuah.” then the call ends, she sigh again.
Minutes pass by and she arrived at the said restaurant, she take a deep breath and pick her cardigan before she gets out of her car. “Good morning ma’am.” greetings from the restaurant stuff with a wide smile flushes on his lips. Gianna slightly bowed her head before she great back. “Good morning.” She replied.
“Gigi! Over here!” she turned to her left when someone called her, then her smiles suddenly appear on her thin lips when she saw a beautiful lady in red. He immediately approached it while smiling.
“Audette!” she exclaimed in delight and so they hugged each other so tightly as if they hadn’t seen each other for a long time. Well specifically? They also did not see each other for a long time.
“How are you? Any news?” Claudette asked while wiggling her brows. Gianna chuckled and faced her friend.
“I’m fine yes, but a news? Hahaha news about what?” He replied, they were distracted when one of the waiter approached them to take their order. They pick the menu and immediately look for food they want to eat.
“I want Cassoulet, Chicken confit, Hazelnut dacquoise, and for my drinks is Banana smoothie.” Claudette said to the waiter, Ito turned to Gianna to take the order. Cassoulet, Chicken confit and Hazelnut dacquoise are a French cuisine.
“Hmm, Ragu alla Bolognese, ceasar salad, and one double chocochip frappe.” He replied then she smiled, the waiter leave together with their orders. And while waiting the two of them talk first. Ragu alla Bolognese is another Italian cuisine.
Virgo Restaurant has a wide variety of cuisine to choose from.
“I’ve heard from Mr. Boreau that you are supposed to model the new designs of the EJC clothing line, I’m so proud of you my dear.” Claudette said, Gianna just smiled lightly at her and looked out of the restaurant. they chose the spot was next to the glass wall, so they could see the scene outside.
“Actually, I really don’t want to but Boreau insists so I have no choice but to follow him, well .. it also has a replacement.” Anya and smiled widely. They really should just pay me big!
“All I know is that the owner of EJC is said to be yummy and hunk, but dear .. it’s said to be a beast when you get angry, I told you this because it will be your boss.” Claudette said, also a few minutes later their order arrived.
Ezequiel frowned when he found out that they hadn’t started the photoshoot yet. So irritably it went down and went to his staff.
“Why are you not starting !? What are you waiting for !? Christmas ?!” The tendon in his neck had almost come out because of the rage. D*mn!
“Eh, because sir, our model hasn’t arrived yet …” the designer said in fear. His forehead furrowed even more because of what he heard and his nose almost smoked with anger. All the staff there immediately felt nervous and scared. others just closed their eyes because its voice echoed in the four corners of the room. “WHAT !?” he screamed, “WHO IS THAT MODEL !? HOW IRRESPONSIBLE SHE WAS ?! FI–” he didn’t finish what he was going to say when he heard a voice behind him.
“I’m sorry if I’m late, I got lost ..”saad nito, then suddenly a beast in him woke up. F*ck!
He immediately turned to the girl and gave her an evil look. Shocked, Yan registered on the girl’s face when he saw her. ezequiel walks closer to her, while Gianna is stepping backward until she can no longer step back when she felt the cold wall. Damn! I’m trap!
Ezequiel just continue walking nearer until they are only 2 inches away, then he pinned Gianna on the wall still wearing his deathly glare.
“So we meet again señorita, and you never change.” He promised, and brought his face close to hers. “I hate late people.” He walked away from Gianna and turned away, “next time you’re still weak, don’t show your face to me señorita.” Then he leave the room. Gianna was just wiped by sweat, even though the room was fully air conditioned, she couldn’t help but be nervous. D*mn! D*mnit! That assh*le is my boss !?
He just watched the young man leave. She can’t believe it, no matter what she avoids, she even prayed that they won’t meet again but hell! it looks like destiny will make way for them to meet each other!
“Are you alright?” She came back to her sanity when someone approaches her and asks if she’s okay. She was mesmerized of the handsomeness of the man who’s standing in front of her. But he was even more handsome. Wait what ?! Handsome? tss g*go ka mo.
“I-Im fine ..” she said shyly, the man extend his hands and introduce his self. “I’m Terrence Falcon.” Introduce it to him, he would have accepted Terrence’s hand when someone interrupted them.
“This is working hours, not flirting hours.” a cold, baritone voice caught their attention. Gianna can’t look directly at him because of the way he looks. If looks could kill, they were already separated. What the hell is his f*cking problem !?
Gianna could NOT move properly even though the young man had been staring at her for a while as if he was already undressing Ito in the way he was staring. Focus Gia! Ignore him okay? Focus! He promised himself and calmed his previously aching heart.
“Cut!” a terrifying and uplifting feather rang out in the four corners of the room. “Is that the model you took !? It’s like a stump that can’t move ?!” They were all almost out of breath because of the restraint. Gianna’s blood suddenly boiled because of what he said. Really ?! How dare he !! “If he can’t, replace him !?” He said last and walked out, but he hadn’t even gone far when something hit his head. Everyone gasp as they watch Ezequiel slowly turn his back with his dangerous daggered eyes. he looked at the one that hit him on the floor and then picked it up.
He grit his teeth as he picks the red killer heels and faces Gianna deadly. He loosened his necktie first before he approached it, Gianna didn’t know what he was going to do, whether he was going to hide or run out. he just closed his eyes when Ezequiel slapped his heels next to this table causing It to break. Ezequiel stared at Gianna intently, and he could really feel her anger because her blue eyes suddenly lit up.
“Don’t mess up with me señorita!” this promise was firm and left him gaping. When Ezequiel came out, they were able to breathe properly.
“Hey Miss Monroe, are you okay?” Remembering Terrence’s question to him, it immediately approached him when Ezequiel came out. but Gianna seemed to hear nothing because her attention was on her broken shoe. D*mn him! That! urghh! His getting into my nerves!
When Ezequiel entered his office, he immediately called his friend with a splinter.
“Hello Gabin ! I’ll take the most expensive stilettos you sell. “He ordered here, Gabin hadn’t even spoken yet, he had already preceded it, He knew it would ask for what or should I say for whom.” Don’t ask and just follow what I said! and please deliver it on my office asap! “Then he ended the call, he was just standing on his desk when he felt pain in his ear, when he touched it there was some liquid he found. maybe Gianna’s heel hit It so it bled, she immediately went to her rest room and took the medicine kit to treat her wound. D*mn that woman! Very sadistic!
their photoshoot is over without Ezequiel being seen, part of Gianna is worried because he threw her at it, and part is also annoyed because she broke her shoe because of him. Now what? What should I wear? Bwesit talaga! Hayss has no choice but to walk without shoes.
he took the broken shoe and carried the other one. When she came to her locker to hopefully pick up her bag when something caught her attention. It’s like a rectangular box and it’s in his locker. wondering and she took It to look then she saw a small paper stuck to it.
– I want you to wear this – EJ
He was shocked when he read what was written on the cardboard and he was even more surprised by its contents.
“What the h*ck!” he exclaimed when he saw the flesh, it was a Louis Vuitton heels. Its Loved! Who is he to give it to? Maybe the locker went wrong.
She would have put the box aside when a familiar smell and a baritone voice speak behind her. “It’s yours.” Gianna turned around for a moment and looked at it with big eyes. Ezequiel picked up the box and released the Louis Vuitton gold stiletto. He just stared at Ezekiel as he slightly knelt down and took his foot. he immediately moved his foot away in shock so Ezequiel looked up as he looked at her badly.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
“I do not like that.” Gianna was tall as she promised, and turned around to get her bag, when in front of her, Ezequiel’s position was still the same. “What are you doing? Stand there!” he was embarrassed because other employees were looking at them and then gossiping.
“Will You Wear It or Not?” He asked the girl hard, but she didn’t move. Gianna tore him apart but unfortunately it touched his wounded ear causing It to complain. Gianna immediately turned to him and frowned when she looked at him because It was holding her big ear. Curious, he took Ezekiel’s hand away to see It, he was shocked when he saw blood on it. Because he touched it so It bled again.
“I-Am I going to do that?” He asked Ezequiel, Ezequiel stood up and stared at him with a blank expression. He just bowed down because of his guilt.
“I will forgive you, if you wear this slipper.” Ezequiel said staring at her, “do you want to walk barefoot ? do you want to be trending? That a famous model is walking barefoot. “She just sighed, before she agreed and she first glared at Ito.” Let me wear that to you señorita. “said and slightly knelt down, he took one of Gianna’s legs and put on the one he had just bought. Then he looked up at the girl he had been staring at earlier.
*Tug *tug *tug
Gianna just grabbed her chest when her heart beats so fast like racing horses.
“T-Thanks ..” he said shyly, Ezequiel also stood up and mumbled.
