Lunch break

Dalia's POV
•••••••••••••••
After completing my work, I peeped into Mateo's office, he was typing away on his laptop looking like a demi god.
No no, don't drool on him, he's not worth it.
That gave me the opportunity to sneak out without him knowing. I walked stealthily toward the elevator as I was about going into it when I heard his voice.
"Where do you think you're going Mrs Banks," He asked with his hands in his pockets which took his hotness to a whole new level.
I gave stuck out my tongue and jumped into the elevator frantically pushing the buttons, I exhaled in relief as the door was closing but it was short-lived because his hands stopped the door from closing. He pried the door open.
"Hey, what are you doing?" I screamed at him, Lacey would be waiting for me downstairs by now but this man won't let me be.
"Did you think you could run away from me?" He said grinning. I frowned at him.
"You have a lunch date to go to, I have a lunch date to go to and we both are running late so let's not do this right now." I tried to reason with him.
"Yeah but yours is invalid so you're coming with me."
Before I could comprehend what I heard, I suddenly felt weightless and the world spinning, it took a while to realize that he had carried me on his shoulder.
How broad is his shoulder?
"Hey! What are you doing? Put me down this instant you sir!" I yelled at him. Fortunately, there was nobody to witness this scandalous act and I continued to swear at him.
"Your vocabulary is quite colorful tesoro," he smiled while gritted my teeth seething.
"Colorful my ass."
"Which by the way is a nice view," he smirked making me blush deeply.
"Che cazzo?" I cursed indistinctly.
He chuckled and walked towards the elevator. My eyes widened at the thought of him carrying me like this past the canteen, I wouldn't survive the horror.
"Hey! Wait! Wait! You can't carry me past the canteen like this, put me down and I would willingly follow you." I begged, something I will never do in my life again.
"Who said I am taking the public elevator."
He diverted and walked towards his private elevator which to led his private underground parking lot.
"Will you drop me down now? Am bored,"
"Nope and I am not bored, I have your ass to entertain me."
"If you don't drop me down, I'll annihilate your family jewels."
He stiffened for a while. "Then you will have to marry me, not a bad idea though," he smiled and I scoffed at his mentality.
Really? Is he that stupid?
*Ding*
The elevator opened and he walked out towards his car. I struggled to free myself from him when he suddenly dropped me.
*Thud*
I landed on my ass, my perfect bun was in a messy condition and my blouse was crumpled. I stood up and arranged my clothes, sneering at him as he opened the door for me to get in.
"After you mademoiselle." He said in a perfect french accent, I walked towards him and wanted to get into the car but turned to him, punching him hard in the gut sharply.
"That's what you get for taking me without my permission." He groaned in pain, clutching his stomach and slowly climbed into the car.
"That really hurts," he groaned, I 'almost' felt sorry for him and pat him on the back.
"You deserved it," I said solemnly, he turned sharply and glared at me and I laughed.
"Let's get going, your date awaits."
He stepped on the gas and drove off.
At the restaurant
We arrived at the restaurant, it was a very expensive french restaurant as soon as we entered, one of the waitress ushered us to a private booth which was specially reserved. Mateo returned to his usual cold and aloof self and I to my expected composure, he leaned over to my ear and whispered softly.
"Don't screw this up for me."
"As if I have ever screwed anything up for you," I whispered back.
Miss Valentine was already waiting for us when she saw us, she smiled widely. Mateo froze and surprisingly turned angry.
"What the fuck are you doing here Marilyn?" He gritted his teeth, his jaw tightened and his hand clenched.
Wait, what ?
His girlfriend?
Don't ask me how I know, Marilyn Anderson is one of the most famous model in the country, she dated Mateo for two years, I have like a whole pictures of him (Mateo) stuck on my dartboard, I use em' to practice my knife throwing, don't judge me.
"I know what I did was wrong, I hurt you and you wouldn't let me explain so I got my friend to make an appointment with you and came in her stead,"
"Spare me the bullshit Marilyn, you are never sorry for your deeds, I bet Nathan is no more pumping money into your bank account that's why you decided to come to me, isn't it?"
Okay now that's cruel.
"No it's not like that, I love you very much, I didn't mean to cheat on you, please forgive me," She pleaded.
Oh I need a popcorn now, I enjoying the show. "Is this the part where the guy walks away?" I interrupted probably at the wrong time because they both glared at me.
"Who is this lady?" She asked, sizing me with her eyes. I was about to make a sarcastic comeback at her when I felt his arm around my waist, I looked up just in time for his lips to merge with mine before he pulled away.
"She's my girlfriend and I don't want you anywhere close to me or her. Stay away or you'll regret it," he warned coldly and walked away, dragging a dazed me along with him. When we got out, I pried his arms away from me and aimed to punch him but he dodged it.
"What's that for?" He asked acting as if he didn't know.
"Jerk, what was that stunt you pulled in there? How dare you kiss me without my permission," I yelled at him ignoring the fact that I was blushing furiously.
I have never blushed this many times in a day.
"You just dragged me into your love affair," I barked at him but he looked unfazed and that pissed me off.
"I only meant to kiss you on your forehead but you suddenly looked up, so it's not my fault, even though I enjoyed it," he whispered the last part smiling in a weird way.
He dared to smile in such a situation like this? what a jerk. I glared at him and climbed into the car and we drove off.

She watched them, brimming with anger as they got into the Lamborghini Aventador. She should have been the one he was smiling at, she should be the one getting in that car, she should be the one swimming in all that money.
"You have just made yourself an enemy." She said as she stared at the disappearing shape of the car with murderous intent
