Mistake Forgiven

Adriana picks up her most business looking clothes since she only have few to wear. The ride from her house to the airport is quiet as she didn't bother to push Damon on explaining what had happened. They didn't miss their flights and makes it to Paris. She slides on the fluffy jacket and walks beside Damon as a Ferrari stops in fornt of them. A young guy hops out and hurriedly hands the key over to Damon.

"Get in." He says as he makes it to the drivers side and she gets into the passenger sit. His driving is fast but smooth at the same time and he has a stern look on his face that makes Adriana worried. She looks over at him from time to time but she didn't peep. She makes it obvious but Damon pretends not to know about her eyes staring at him worriedly. Damon stops the car in a large villa painted all white. Right in front of the villa's gates stands a lady looking so beautiful and sexy. Damon is about to get down but he notice that Adriana is lost while looking at J.

"Adriana? How about we get off now?" She says and she realizes how lost in thoughts she was.

"Oh right, sorry boss." She says and they both highlight and she follows behind Damon.

"JJ!" Damon says but Joanna wasn't looking at him but Adriana.

"Why did you bring your model along and not your PA?" She says and Adriana looks up to my face, wondering what was going on.

"What do you mean J? She's my PA and the Head manager of the new branch." Damon breaks down and a smile suddenly spreads on Joanna face as she approaches Adriana and takes her by the hand.

"Please come in!" She says respectfully as she leads Adriana into the villa. Damon walks behind the girls as the figure of Adriana keeps a smile plastered on his face.

"Xander!" She calls out and a young guy comes running immediately.

"Go prepare wondering drinks for our guest here." She says and the boy runs off.

"Wow Adriana, you look so amazing. I thought you where one of Damon's model." Joanna explains and Damon smiles with the corner of his lips as the girls chit chat. Damon smiles as he look around his old abode. It's been a long time he had visited and so the memories makes him smile.

"Your boss doesn't know how to take care of him self, he's always depending on me. Now that he has a responsible person like you beside him, I hope he also learns to be responsible." Joanna says and Adriana stares blankly at her while wondering how close they both are.

"So Adriana. Damon was caught on camera kissing an unidentified lady!" Joanna says and Damon's eyes widens the moment he heard her.

"I didn't kiss anyone! That picture is clearly photoshopped." Damon defends.

"Yeah right I understand. You are a man and u need a woman but don't.... I'm tired of explaining." Joanna says as she cross her leg over her other knee.

"I was with Adriana last night, I never met with any woman. It's a good thing that the camera couldn't capture her face then it would have become a bigger problem." Damon says and Adriana nods in agreement but then she squeeze her face trying to put his words together.

"Wait!! You mean I'm the one in the picture with you is me?!" Adriana says and Damon smiles mischievous.

"Wait.... How did I end up in a scandal with you?" Adriana says and Joanna clears her throat distracting their eye contact.

"What are we going to do about this? I can't live with this!" Adriana says and Damon moves closer closing the distance between them.

"Why are you so nervous? Your face is not even showing." Damon says and Adriana plays with her fingers nervously.

"I... I... Am just trying to be careful. Nothing else..." She says and Damon backs away from her with a thin smile.

"Please where's the washroom?" Adriana asks as she turns to Joanna.

"Take a left turn from here dear and you'll find a door behind the stairs. There is the visitors toilet." Joanna says and Adriana hurries away. Damon draws a circle with his feet on the ground.

"Why did you have to drag her into your boring life?" Joanna says as she gets up and approach Damon with her cold expression.

"She has always been in my life, I just pretended not to notice her. Mind you my mind isn't boring." Damon says as he looks around his old abode again.

"Thanks for taking care of my home. And how is your husband?" Damon asks and Joanna rolls her eyes.

"My husband is fine and it's not a big deal to take care of my old friend. Now be honest, what's up with you and Adriana?" Joanna asks.

"Nothing. And there was something, it's none of your business." Damon says and Joanna fakes a slap almost hitting Damon but a short scream alerts them both. Damon recognizes the voice and quickly looks towards the direction he heard from.

Adriana stands there with a shocked expression as she has her hand over her mouth. Damon rushes over to her side and grabs her shoulders.

"Adriana are you hurt? What's wrong? Did something happen?" Damon says in an hurry and Adriana stares hardly at Damon. She slowly fall on her knees and Damon wonders why she acted that way.

Joanna also approach the both of them worriedly.

"Adriana what's wrong?" Joanna asks.

Adriana looks up at both Damon and Joanna but her face falls and she quickly get on her knees and bows her head on the ground.

"Please forgive me sir, I really didn't mean to hurt you sir. Please don't fire me please!! I'm so sorry. I'll never get drunk again. I'll never drink and cause a scene again." She says hurriedly and Damon finally gets what she meant. She has probably remembered how she slapped him.

"Now you know why you're a wild cat?" Damon says and Adriana looks up with her scared expression. She looks back down and Joanna scoffs then she turns around leaving them both. Damon gets on his knee and lifts her shoulders so she could look at him but Adriana was too shy to even glance at him.

"Look at me." Damon commands and Adriana does as he says.

"I know you feel bad and you might feel shy. Please don't feel that way. I get why you feel that way but you were drunk. If I'm to hold grudges to you over that then I'm the irresponsible one. You get me right?" Damon says and Adriana nods positively.

"Will you seriously forgive me boss?" Adriana says and Damon smiles brightly totally exposing his well arranged white teeth. Looking at him up close makes Adriana see his dimples that weren't vivid.

She gets stuck in time for a few seconds and she bites her lip in frustration.

"I forgave you long ago. Get up and let's get to business okay."
