Meet the 'Greek God'

At the Romano's empire.

The offices are seen bustling with activities. It seemed as though been idle was a grave offence here. Voices discussing in high pitch, fingers tapping the keyboard, pens clicking on paper were the sounds that contributed in the bustling above all.

On the third floor, our Greek god was sitted behind a huge mahogany door.

Rick Romano, the CEO of Romano's empire himself was in a guy in his late twenties, from the way he sat on his chair in front of a system with his right leg crossed over the left is enough to make you understand he is a boss. Rick was a cute guy who was every ladies dream guy.He had such great charms which were capable of casting a love spell on a queen. He is light complexed, about 6fts tall, slender and possessed this skin that is so smooth and slippery like an eel. Looking down at his chest region was enough drive a school girl nuts. He had this lovely set of abs, well lined and organized which was always visible from his tops. Right now, it was popping out from the green packet shirt he wore. (Though there was this sad thing about him and ladies which you will get to find out in later chapters.)

There was a knoch on the door and James pushed the door and walked in carrying a file on his hands.

"Am I having any appointment soon."

" That was what I was about informing you. You have an appointment with the event planner of the upcoming party in a month time. He insisted on you coming to see him. Although I tried my best in making him come over here for the meeting."

"It's okay I will go. Let me get done with this and I will join you in the car park.

At The International School of Venice,

The classes seemed as though they were never going to end. Elina was in her chair swinging back and forth she seemed bored from the ongoing class. It was the last class if the day but it was as if it was a 2 hours class instead of the normal 35 minutes allocated to each teacher a day. Unlike her, her spirits were down and she wasn't interested about the class because she had better things up her sleeves.

Finally, the closing bells came and she rushed home leaving Emily behind while she was wasting time packing up in her locker.

"Lina weldone, you left me behind because of your lover boy." Emily said while shutting the door behind her."

"Am sorry but you should have packed up earlier." Elina answered from the room.

"Are you for real, what if I change my mind.

"Please don't, I said am sorry I was so carried away." Elina said this time coming out of the room. She was already dressed.

"Are you going for a dinner?" Emily asked in amazement as to what her friend was putting on.

"No, am not. We agreed to go to the empire today. Didn't we?"

"Yes we did but you are overdressed you look like someone going on a dinner night."

Elina was dressed in a tight A shaped peach gown which went well with her curves and the length spread to her ankles. She decorated it with silver ornaments which were glowing from the light that peered through the window from a little opening. Emily on the other hand got dressed in a blue boyfriend jean and a pair of white plain crop top, revealing her belly button a bit.

They set out on their days journey the coffee shop. On getting there they were lucky to get a nice seat where they could have a perfect view of the office.

"Tea or coffee miss." asked the waiter who just joined them.

"Coffee will do for me. Lina what would you like? Lina....."

" Sorry get me a cup of coffee." Elina replied from her lost state. "Am so sorry I just didn't want to take my eyes out before I will loose him" Elina added after the waiter was out of hearing.

"Do you want to make it all obvious that we are hear to spy on a business tycoon? Don't you know we can be accused of being spies sent by a rival? Please don't get me in trouble.

"Am so sorry I couldn't help it. Am obsessed"

"Did you even see the way the waiter looked at you, he is suspicious of our activities and I know he will be watching from a distance now."

"Two cups of coffee is here." The waiter said coming from behind leaving Emily startled and wondering if he heard all they were saying."

Two cups of coffee turned to four, then six, then eight and still no sight of the Greek God. The girls had already had their fill and was not ready to take anymore cup. Time was no longer on their side and they needed to go to work that evening. Elina thought she also needed to change her dress. It was too classy to be orn to serve in a hotel bar.

"You know what Mily, let's wait for twenty more minutes before we leave for work." Lina said to pacify the anger which was already brewing in Emily's eyes. Emily looked at her wristwatch to see what time it was. She opened her eyes so wide like they were going to pop out of their socket on seeing the time.

"Elina Roberts please check what the time is on your wrist watch." Elina new that whatever the time was going to be when she checked the time won't be nice because Emily only called her full name when she was mad at her. She managed the courage to check it and what she saw made her let out a scream which attracted another waiter to the scene.

"Ma can I help you, you look startled."

"Oh am so sorry is just that time flew too quick and we are almost late for work. Emily please order the Uber." Elina said just realizing that the couple that were seated adjacent to them had gone although they came twenty minutes ago. The young lady who also sat two seats away was also gone and they were left with a gentleman who just walked in not too long ago and was being attended to.

"I have ordered the Uber long ago I don't want to be late to work. You can sitback and wait."

"Don't feel bad is normal every single day we get female customers who always sit here waiting for the tycoon with the hope of just catching a glimpse of him. Atimes they end up not seeing him. He is a very busy man atimes he even goes on business trips. I think situating this shop close to the Romano's empire is such a nice idea. Maybe you should come again tomorrow, you might luckily meet him." The waiter who was still with them said leaving the girls slightly embarrassed.

The Uber arrived immediately saving them from the shame. It was Elina who managed to say thank you to the waiter. The ride to work was boring due to the previous events that took place. All of the excitement Elina had died off. Emily her self was pissed off and mad at Lina. Elina tried to break the silence

"Mily did you hear what the waiter said?" "Mily! Well he said we can come back tomorrow we might be lucky to find him tomorrow." Elina continued when Mily was not giving her a listening ear.

"Are you being serious? You have gone nuts." Emily replied when she couldn't hold it back anymore. "Thank goodness am already at my workplace. Before a dose of madness gets to me as well." Elina added alighting from the car and walking towards the pharmacy. She didn't even bother returning Elina's goodbye she had had enough for the day.

The ride to the hotel was boring for Elina she couldn't discuss with the driver wo ehe kept mute. When she finally arrived at the hotel, she was ten minutes late. She was lucky the guy who worked before her was still on seat waiting for her presence before leaving. Unfortunately, the boss had sent for her few minutes ago in her absence. Her heart was racing thinking she was in deep trouble. Not knowing she was to meet who she spent all day waiting to see. Yes she is going to meet her dream man. Let us hope she doesn't faint when she sees him.

Please review the books and make comments. I will also accept criticism it will help me make the book better and more interesting for you.
