Tales Of Love

Santiago drove himself to the gate of the Starlight holdings. He went in and required to see their boss.

The receptionist tried calling Aurora first to inform her that the CEO of the Axel group was here to see her.

But Santiago gave her a chilling stare. The receptionist quivered at the sight of his stare and nodded for him to go in.

Santiago took the elevator. He was impressed with the company’s layout. He must agree that the company was indeed the largest in the country.

He got to the top floor which houses the CEO’s office. When he stepped out of the elevator, he came into the secretary’s lobby.

There were two secretaries in the lobby. One was the CEO’S special secretary while the other was more of a receptionist. When they saw Santiago, they held their breath.

The man’s presence carried a powerful aura. He was domineering and seemed like a god. But he was very handsome. He’s tall with a broad chest that could still be noticed despite being in a Suit.

He looked at the secretaries which seemed to be lost as they stood gazing at him. When they saw him staring at them with a poker face, they regained their wit and seemed to remember what their job was.

“Welcome to the Starlight’s Presidential floor. Who are you please?” One of the secretaries asked. Santiago’s eyes were intimidating.

Rather than answer the question he was asked, he looked towards the President’s office “President Rowan is in?”.

The secretaries threw a glance at each other. Was this man asking a question or making a statement?. He didn’t even introduce himself. of course they couldn’t voice out their thoughts.

The secretary was speechless. She couldn’t ask him who he was and why he wanted to see the boss lady. The man’s aura was scary or better still intimidating.

She took the telephone and called her boss’ official line. Before the call ever got through, Santiago strode into the office.

Aurora was going through a document when the door opened. She assumed it was her assistant. Without raising her head she asked ” Done?”.

Wale Jones was a young man who had worked closely with her late step father. He became her assistant at her mother’s recommendation. He had proved himself competent when he took action based on Larry Tom’s evidence against Eve Diego.

Santiago stood and stared at his woman. This is his Aurora. The mother of his kids. He almost turned the whole of Florence City upside down . Had he known she was here, he would not have wasted so much time before seeing her again.

She sat behind her desk as a competent and capable woman. She radiates grace and class.

Aurora suddenly felt a familiar gaze was on her. She perceived a certain person’s body perfume and raised her head sharply.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Standing before her was Santiago. Their eyes locked but both are not smiling. Santiago was not smiling but had a relaxed facial appearance.

Aurora frowned. She can’t be mistaken about the perfume she perceived . It’s been over three years since they ever stood and gazed at each other, but it only seems like three days. The years seemed to have passed quickly. Nothing seems to have changed in their appearance.

How dare the secretaries let him in without her authorisation. She will set them as scapegoats so that others can learn not to take decisions into their hands.

“Don’t put the blame on the secretaries. They’re not at fault”Santiago said and gave a faint smile.

Santiago had always been like this, perfectly predicting her thoughts. She remembered back then how he always guessed and read her thoughts correctly.

But why couldn’t he read her thoughts on that fateful day, when she was at his grandfather’s birthday party? The thoughts of that day’s event made her stare at him angrily.

He was still the Santiago she used to know; handsome, calm and attractive. On this day, it was not an exception. He looked very cute with his long eyelashes and the faint smile he has on his thin lips. Oh how she longed to be in his arms and have him cuddle her.

“Who the hell do you think you are to tell me how I should treat my employees?” Aurora blurted out. She can’t stand him staring at her for so long and even trying to meddle with her affairs.

Santiago simply sat on the sofa and crossed his legs.” Aren’t you going to offer me a drink?”he asked. Since Aurora wants to be hostile to him, he was ready to accept her hostility and bear the price to win her heart again.
