Mafia Love Affair: From One Night To Forever
It's Not Easy

'Well, don't you think she should keep her personal life separate from her work life' crossing her hands on her chest she tried to manipulate his mind, knowing that his say has an influence in front of Alessandro. 'She does so' Gabriel said in monotone. This time she couldn't stop herself from rolling her eyes and a smirk made its way on her face.

'Look, I know there are protocols of every company and being on the position you are, you have to strictly follow it whether you like them or not, or the person who is deserving or not. But you know, no one is around here and we can openly talk about it' She took two steps towards him, trying to seduce him by her slim and gorgeous body. Gabriel tilted his head, noting down the sudden change in her action and expression and inhaled deeply, preparing himself for something he won't like to do.

'Fuck you Sandro, always have to clean up your messes' he cursed his best friend quietly and straighten his gaze on the woman who has no morals, a wave of dislike run through his blood but he had to play, as it was now necessary. 'And what do you mean by talking openly? I have said the truth, she is our most hardworking employee and since four years she is with us and the position she holds today is all because of her efforts' she scoffed. 'Why are you so much favoring her?' she couldn't bring the courage in herself for seeing another men appraising her.

'Forget about her. You should not waste your precious time worrying about her Ms. Peterson, however, I am very curious to see you here. What pushed you to join Martini group?' Gabriel's question shocked her, she was expecting him to ask when they both had encounter few moments before but when he didn't bring up this topic she got relaxed that he does not remember her, after all the first meeting with Alessandro was short and not memorable, and he just talked to her fro few seconds and that was also to tell her that Alessandro had to go somewhere in emergency. A quick recalling reminded her of Autumn and kids once again for whom Alessandro left her on lunch, her face turned sour. 'Ms. Peterson?' seeing her lost, Gabriel called her name.

'Oh, I'm sorry. What were you asking?' she plastered a fake smile on her lips, he nodded his head in understanding.

'I am curious, why you joined us? Your father's business doesn't have any position for you?' Clara's face twitched at his mocking.

'It's not what you think. Dad is very upset from me for not joining his office, but I wanted to do something on my own, and thought learning from Martini would be a great' she stuttered in beginning but then immediately overcome and smartly covered herself. Gabriel gave her a impressed look.

'Who took your appointment by the way?' Clara felt a lump in her throat, she felt like the conversation is moving towards interrogating and it would be good to run off from here before she does any blunder.

'Oh my, see I stood here talking to you, when I had given a time to client to call me. I think I should hurry up' slamming a hand on her forehead, she was quick in coming up with an excuse.

'Sure, go ahead' he waved his hand, watching her walking as fast as possible for her in those high heels and getting far from him.

'It's bad disappointing a beautiful woman' exhaling a sigh he fetched out a cigarette and head towards the smoking area.

'You shouldn't have made me take off Alessandro' she rubbed her wet hair from towel.

After having sex for an hour, they both took shower together and meanwhile he informed her that she is on off today and he had already informed Gabriel about this.

Alessandro's eyes fixed on her, she was still wearing bathrobe while applying lotions on her hands and leg.

'I told you already that I will tell you about Clara, my enemies and other things which you should know' she turned to face him, resting her hands on the hips.

'Still, it wouldn't have taken that long.' He sighed. He couldn't tell her that it will take more than even he had expected, he had prepared himself for every emotional reaction from her side but still, he was scared. 'Hey, come on. I am home, I am also not going to work. Let's have some time for us only' he complained to her.

'You are boss, not accountable to anyone, whereas I am' she said curtly.

'I am accountable to you Autumn' he holds her hand and pulled her towards him, quickly wrapping his hands around her waist.

'Yeah, fine' she rolls her eyes, he smiled and gave a quick light peck on her lips. A knock on a door distracted their attention and he released her to go and open the door. A maid was standing outside holding a tray in her hands. 'Place it over their' pointing it towards the table between the sitting area of his room, he let her come in. Autumn shook her head, at how bossy he is and the cold tone he used with everyone around.

'Come, let's do breakfast and meanwhile I will tell you everything which I know you are eager to know about' stepping towards the couch, he motioned for Autumn to join him.

'Let me change and come back, it will be quick' nodding he pour the juices in glasses for them and leaned back, resting his head staring the ceiling. His mind was numbering down the facts based on her reaction and rephrasing that will be easy for her to understand and not to react badly.

A weary sigh escaped from his lips and he closed his eyes to rethink, when he heard the voice of clicking, retreating back in his position he put the smile on his face so Autumn won't get worried.
