---See You

Angelo Vander

/"I'm asking myself if I should be happy that I have a friend who is a doctor or.. I should be pissed./" I said as I got out from the checkup room. Dean chuckled hearing me and he then pointed his pen towards me.

/"You should be grateful that I'm watching over your health./" He said then he proceed to continue writing on my data.

/"I work out almost every day, work almost every day, I don't eat shit so.. I will be fine./" I said as I put my blazer on.

/"Go and call that shit head here./" Dean said gesturing me to go out. I walked out and found Adrian sitting on the sofa with her phone.

/"The devil awaits you./" I said to Adrian and he looked up to me. He smirked and got up from the sofa. He patted my shoulder then got into the room. I walked out and my phone rang.

It's an unknown number.

Instead of rejecting it like I used to, I picked it up. /"Hello./"

/"Angelo, it's me.. Dakota./" My breath got hitch and I walked towards my car.

/"What do you want?/" I asked.

/"I have a proposition for you, can I schedule a meeting with you?/" I got into the car and looked at my steering wheel sighing.

/"Are you free now?/"

/"Yes./"

/"Meet me at Vous restaurant in 30 minutes./" I said and ended the call. I put my phone on the passenger seat and I took a moment to process myself.

/"Why did I decide to get myself involve with her again? Why?/" I asked myself and I leaned back to my seat completely lost. I'm such an idiot and I can't believe that the history repeats itself but this time.. I was the one who started it.

I got myself together and started my car. I drove out from the headquarter and drove towards Vous. When I got there, I gave my car key to the valet chauffer. I walked into the restaurant and got a table at the corner of the restaurant. I looked out the window and the sky was slowly getting dark.

/"Angelo./" I turned my head to see Dakota smiling at me. I was taken back by her smile and I could hear my heart beating fast. I gestured her to sit down and I turned to the window again.

/"It's going to rain soon./" She said and I didn't answer her. I can feel my heart hurting knowing that there's only the two of us having lunch together. I grabbed the menu in front of me looking at it to order.

Unconsciously my mind was scanning the food that she will like and the food that she won't like. I wish I have Dean here to punch me so hard just to get my sense back.

/"I'll get the lasagna./" She said to the waiter.

/"I'll get the truffle spaghetti./" I closed the menu book and gave it to the waiter.

/"Anything to drink?/"

/"Water./" We both said it at the same time and then we looked at each other for a split second before I looked out the window again.

/"I have a proposition for you./" She said and I was waiting for her to continue. /"Angelo./" I could my whole body froze when she called my name.

/"I'm listening./"

/"I want you to give me about 20 percent share of Franco's company./" I turned to her and raised my eyebrows.

/"We're going to get married anyway and might as well helping him on getting it back./" Typical Dakota, too nice to begin with. I bet Franco talked the shit out of her for this.

/"I want to offer about 12 million euros for 20 percent./"

/"You buying it won't solve the company problems, you know that right?/" I asked in a really cold tone.

/"I don't think we want to be involve with you after we making it official so I want to buy it from you slowly./" She said she took out a contract from her bag. I scoffed disbelief, she even prepared a contract already.

/"I'm not going to sell it to you. I already bought it and why didn't you take care of him before I got involve?/"

/"I was in America, Angelo./" I know. /"I don't have any intention to come back and get married to him. My father never really like involving money with his friend because he know one day it would be a disaster./"

/"It's too late, I'm already taking over./" I said looking at her arrogantly.

/"Angelo, please../"

/"Beg me all you want, I'll never give it to you. I think Silware has a long way to go and your dumbass fiancé won't be able to keep it up./" I mocked Franco and Dakota nodded. We both turned silent for a moment.

/"You should just let it fall./" She said all of the sudden. I raised my eyebrows when she said that.

/"You hate him, why don't you see him go down instead of taking it over?/" She emphasized the word hate.

/"I'm not like him, Dakota. I don't make my revenge by seeing him fall, that won't be fun./" I smirked and Dakota sighed.

/"Have you even wondered where I was all this time?/" In America, in LA and Seattle to be exact.

/"Why should I?/" I said and she nodded.

/"That's true, it's always been me who's obsessed with you. I was the one who supposed to know about your whereabouts./" She chuckled sarcastically.

/"We're not in high school anymore, Dakota. You need to grow up../" I said and Dakota looked straight into my eyes. She turned her attention to the window.

/"Very well, if you don't let me buy the shares.. I'll go work for Silware instead./" She said as she wiped her hands with wet tissue on the table.

/"If you really want to then go for it but you won't be able to buy the shares from me./" I said it straight to her face and she sighed.

/"Well.. If I don't get the shares, at least.. I'll able to see you./" She suddenly smirked.
