Chapter Sixteen

I packed my bag for the trip, I don't know the country we were going to but I was really looking forward to traveling to another country at least I knew we would be lodging and I would have a room to myself.

I wish we were going to Dubai so I could go to the desert, I put on some tank tops. A horn blasted outside my apartment.

The driver was here

I went out with the bag I had packed and I was surprised to see Constantine standing by the car crossing his leg looking hot and sexy. To say I was surprised was an understatement, I was astonished. I thought he would not want to pick me up after the little issue we had yesterday

It was on the tip of my tongue to ask what he was doing here but he beat me to it

"Where are you carrying the bag to?"

"Excuse me?"

Why was he asking me that weird question, was I meant to come on this trip without clothes

"I don't like repeating myself Euli"

"Don't call me that and I thought you said we were going for a business trip"

"Ohh, about that we are not going anymore, I have canceled it"

"What!!!" I blurted out

"Do you have a problem with it?" he asked

"N-no," I said

"Get in the car" had ordered

"Let me keep my bag inside and get the things I need"

"Be quick"

I went back into my apartment to keep the bag I had packed, I was disappointed because I was really looking forward to this trip

"Asshole" I muttered as I picked up my handbag and left the apartment

Constantine was already seated in the driver's seat his hands on the steering, I walked to the other side and entered inside, I wore my seat belt and he roared the engine zooming off.

The car ride was silent, it seemed like the journey was longer than normal, I looked at Constantine and his face looked stiff like he was angry, I quickly looked away before he caught me staring at me. I looked outside the window silently praying that we get there quickly. When we got closer to the company I was happy

"Drop me here," I said

"We've not reached work yet"

"I don't want people to see us coming in together they might get the wrong idea and start a gossip"

"And tell me what's the wrong idea. We are fucking?" He asked so bluntly that made me gasp.

"I don't care what people say, you are my PA and there is nothing wrong if we come in together and I'll fire anybody that dares start a gossip about me," he said as we reached the office garage.

I came down and walked inside fast, I quickly said hello to Samantha not bothering to hear her reply before entering the elevator. I could not believe Constantine

That man was fucking bipolar

I went into my office and sat down, I turned on the computer and checked Con's schedule and I saw he had a meeting with some Russian investors by 12

Shit!!!, I did not remember. I'm dead

I checked the time and it was still 10 at least we still had time. I barged into his office without knocking, the change on his face made me realize what I had done

"I'm sorry for barging in like that, I wanted to remind you of your meeting with the Russian investors by 12 to talk about the new underwear collection"

I watched him as he checked his Rolex wristwatch

"Thank you and get ready you will be accompanying me to take some notes"

"Yes, sir," I said and left

MEETING

We entered the restaurant which was reserved for the meeting and we were led to a booth at the back which looked private. I was holding my little book to take notes

The Russians came in two minutes after arrived. I was expecting the investors to be young men in their late 30s but they were old men who looked to be in the mid-70s or 70s.

One of the men gave me this creepy look that made me cringe.

"Good afternoon.n Mr. Rodriguez" the man with dirty blonde hair greeted

"Good afternoon Mr. Rolkosov" Constantine greeted shaking his hand

"This is my partner Mr. Nicolav, he has seen your old collection and he wants to do business with you " Mr. Rolkosov introduced the man that was giving me a creepy look

"Have a seat" Constantine said

We all sat down, I sat close to Constantine while the Russians sat close to each other

"Who is the woman by your side?. Your business partner" the creepy guy asked

"It's none of your business Mr. Nicolav," he said rudely " Let's proceed"

I sat to take the minutes of the meeting. Listening to Constantine talk made me realize he was very good and efficient in business. He spoke proudly like he was sure of what he was saying.

The meeting had been going on for two hours and I was beginning to get bored already when I felt a hand on my thighs. At first, I was startled, I thought it was Constantine that put his hand there when the hand began going up further I looked at Constantine and there was no expression on his face.

I turned to the Russians and there was a smirk on the creepy man's face. I was disgusted that I felt like throwing up in his face. I put my hand under the table and pinched him so hard that made him yelp.

"Are you okay Mr. Nicolav?" Constantine asked

He covered it up with a smile " I'm fine"

I smiled at myself until I felt that sane hand on my thighs. I need to leave here before I cause a scene and Constantine loses this partnership and he blames me for it.

"Excuse me, gentlemen, I need to use the bathroom," I said leaving them. If that old pervert thinks of following me he would see the other side of me

I went into the ladies' and splashed some water on my face when I got back to the booth Constantine told me we should leave.

I was ecstatic.
