Tales Of Love

Eve Diego walked with her shoulder high and stepped into the elevator used by the President.

One of the securities came over to her and told her she can’t use that elevator; it’s strictly for the President. The security politely told her.

Eve Diego eyed him “do you know who I am, am sure you are not tired of working in the Axel group yet?” She asked.

The security narrowed his eyes. Who is she?

Only Miss Aurora ever shared the elevator with the President. But since she no longer worked in the company, no one dares to use it beside the President.

Eve Diego wanted to take the elevator but the security stood in her way saying he has received no orders to allow anyone else besides the President to use the elevator whoever they are.

Eve Diego regretted why she didn’t come with her bodyguards. Otherwise, this damn good for nothing security will not stand in her way, embarrassing her.

“Use the general elevator Miss” the security instructed. Eve Diego was infuriated.

How dare this Security order her around. She will have him sacked. If not now, when she becomes the young madam of the Axel family.

She took the other elevator and went up. When she stepped out, the secretaries raised their heads to see who just arrived at the Presidential floor. They recognised her at once.

This was the lady who created a scene there, a long time ago with her parents. The same lady who was supposed to be engaged with the President but couldn’t hold because of her stupidity.

Eve Diego, without saying hello to the secretaries, went towards the President’s office.

“Excuse me Miss” The Senior among the secretaries said. She expected the lady to have a bit of politeness. How can she just pass by them without a simple hello.

Eve Diego paused. Every employee in this company has guts. First the security tried to stop her and now a secretary. What kind of orientation were they given at the time of employment?

She looked at the middle aged secretary and asked with a sneer “You have no manners, don’t you know who I am? ”

Mrs Rodrigo might be a secretary but she’s the most senior among them.

She’s a middle aged woman who has been working with the Axel group for years. She’s highly respected among the employees and does her work well.

Eve Diego just lashed at her with her tongue and told her she lacked manners. Her daughter could be of the same age with Eve Diego after all.

She walked towards Eve Diego with her brow slightly raised “Of course I know who you are: You are the spoiled girl of Diego’s family.

The arrogant daughter of Caden and Tola Diego. The girl who ruined her engagement ceremony by tripping and went down at the feet of her man. Mrs Rodrigo ‘s words hit Eve Diego badly.

“I am your boss’ fiancee and you dare talk to me like that? Do you know what I am capable of doing to you?” Eve Diego tried to keep her pride.

More people had gathered and they were giggling when Mrs Rodrigo lashed at her.

“You can’t ascertain that. You’ve not been engaged to him yet so you can’t call yourself his fiancee. As for what you think you are capable of doing to me, you can do nothing. I bet you to try” Mrs Rodrigo snapped at her.

She had heard how arrogant and untamed this girl was. She goes about threatening people who don’t dance to her tune . She can’t use that method of a rascal for her, not at her age.

“What do you want here?” Mrs Rodrigo asked. Eve Diego had nothing to retort back at her. Taking advantage of her silence she had to ask what brought the silly girl.

“I am President Axel’s fiancee and are you still asking what I want here?” Eve Diego was really feeling infuriated. She had been humiliated enough for today.

“The President is having a meeting. You sit in the waiting room or better still, go home and come back when he’s free” Mrs Rodrigo declared and turned away.

“What’s going on here?”Jasper Milo asked. They just came out of the meeting and saw a scene in front of the President’s office.

Santiago was in front of Jasper Milo. He had walked to them and heard Mrs Rodrigo’ last sentence.

His expression was fierce. His appearance gave a domineering aura. He doesn’t have to talk before you feel the atmosphere become tense.

Eve Diego smiled and put up an act. This was her chance to make all the people present to know she was truly President Axel’s fiancee.

“Hello Santiago. I heard you are back so I came to see how you’re doing” Eve Diego sounded as if she was very familiar with him.

Santiago simply treated her like air and passed by her side into his office. Jasper Milo followed but paused in front of Eve Diego and chuckled before passing by her into the President’s office.

The last bit of haughtiness that Eve Diego had has been trampled by Santiago. She had lost face completely.

Eve Diego’s aim had been defeated. She came to publicize herself and indirectly reminded Santiago of his responsibility towards her but what she got was another public humiliation.

First she was humiliated when she tripped on the day of her engagement and today she was trampled upon by Santiago right before his employees.

This was nothing but a face slap to her. She felt like puking out blood. She had lost in her attempt to get close to Santiago again.

The small crowd started dispersing and laughing as they returned back to work.

Santiago became infuriated. This stupid Eve of a girl had come to the company to create a scene again.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

He whispers something to Jasper Milo and he immediately makes a call. He must end this game that his grandfather started and it has to be today.

Eve Diego felt like disappearing into thin air. She was ashamed of herself.

Only the secretaries were at their desk, other employees had returned to their duty post and she stood in the hallway.

She walked slowly and took the elevator down to the main entrance. She walked to the car and the waiting chauffeur drove her away.

She didn’t notice someone was taking her pictures and videoing her sluggish, moody steps to the car.

She got home and didn’t remember to switch on her phone. She went to her room and locked herself up. She started sobbing.

Why will Santiago not even spare her a glance before his employees. Is she not beautiful enough? Isn’t she more beautiful than that poor trash that disappeared from prison?. Why does she have to be so humiliated by Santiago over and over again?

A part of her whispered into her being that the reason is because he doesn’t love her. He cared less about her. And there might never be a future for them both.

Aurora was gone from his life and he still doesn’t want to show any sign of emotion towards her.

It’s all Aurora’s fault. If she never appears in his life he wouldn’t have gotten addicted to her.

While Eve Diego was home nursing her injuries, Santiago was holding a press meeting with a few reporters. Soon the internet was flooding with the latest news.
