Chapter 10 - CHAPTER 10

After I finished fixing myself, we left and went back to our workstation, as I entered, I saw people looking at me, after all I had never been late since I started working here. I gave a smile and entered my office; I opened my laptop and started going over files. 

"Aurora it's time for lunch." Alex said as she pushed my office door open.

"Is it?" I asked and grabbed my phone to check on the time.

"Have you been working all this time?" She asked.

"Yes, since I started two hours late, I have so much to catch up on." I replied. 

"There is so much work that I have to do because of that shithead." I added under my breath.

"Careful, that shithead is still our boss." Alex warned.

"Boss, or not he needs to start acting like one." I spoke.

"Let me just save this and then I am coming." I said and hit save on my laptop but still made sure to save it on another hard drive. 

You always have to make sure that you have double checked that your stuff had been saved, in this office people are always waiting for your downfall, so it is up to you to make sure that that doesn't happen to you. I grabbed my phone and handbag and followed her out. 

We hit the elevator button, when the door opened Leonardo was inside with his assistant, I stepped back and checked if I opened the right elevator. It was indeed the employee elevator, so what the hell was he doing inside it. Could he not just use his own elevator.

"Is his elevator broken or what?" I asked under my breath.

"Get in!" He commanded. 

I looked at Alex and we both got in, I felt his arm going around my waist .

"Why did you cover up my art?" I heard him whisper in my ear and bit down.

"Stop it!" I said and tried to remove his arm away.

"Isn't she your friend, I am sure she knows exactly what we did this morning doesn't she?" He said and pulled me back. 

Alex and his assistant just acted if they were not there, but I could see her looking at me sideways. I noticed a smirk tugging at her lips.

"I wanna take you right now." He whispered as he pushed my hair aside and placed a kiss on my collarbone. 

I let out a moan, and I rushed to cover my mouth, I sent him a glare and pushed him away. Thankfully the door dinged and opened and I rushed out, Alex behind just had a smirk on her face.

"Can't believe I almost became a witness to an elevator sex just now." She said placing her hands in an oh shape. 

"Don't you dare start with me." I warned her. 

"Ms. Marino!" I heard him call, but I turned to deaf ears.

"He is calling you." Alex said.

"I don't care! He can keep what he wants to say to himself." I said and dragged her and walked faster.

As we stepped outside, I saw a man leaning on the door of a car.

"Princess!" He called out.

When I lifted my head to look at who was that, it was none other than my third brother Antonio, please kill me now. He called me that and that was not the worst of it, he had the nerve to open his arms expecting me to run and hug. 

"Princess, are you not going to run into my arms?" He asked teasing, I looked around and everyone was looking, why wouldn't they, my parents really had good genes, that all my brothers came out looking like heartbreakers. 

"Antonio, is this the time and place for you to be doing that?" I asked him as I walked up to him and gave him a hug, it was supposed to be a simple hug, but no Antonio, the almighty Antonio had to pick me up and spin me around. 

"Can you put me down?" I said in embarrassment.

"Princess, are you embarrassed by me?" He asked wiping the corner of his eye with imaginary tissue.

"Can you tone down your drama for a second, this is my workplace." I spoke.

"Besides what are you doing here?" I asked him.

"I am here to take you out for lunch." He said and opened the door for me.

"I am eating with Alex." I said as a matter of a fact.

"Well, she can tag along." He said pushing me to get into the car.

"You seem to forget that I am your chauffeur for the day." He said as if to remind me.

"You need to get a girlfriend." I said as I fasten my seat belt.

"If I get a girlfriend, how will I take care of you?" He asked and he started the car.

"I don't need you to take care of me, I am old enough to take care of myself." I replied.

"By going to a club and not answering your phone?" He asked.

"How long will you guys keep holding that to my head?" I asked.

Anything I say these days, they would just throw that into my face. Even if I was drunk, I knew never to answer their calls, they would ask for the club, storm in there and drag me out there and I would still be grounded regardless. 

"Brother, I am twenty-five, I can take care of myself." I said in a whisper.

"We are here to take care of you." He replied.

"Anyway, let's leave the topic, what do you feel like eating today?" He asked me.

"I don't know, Alex?" I turned around and asked.

"I am fine with anything." She replied.

"Shit, we forgot Amber." I cussed out as it came to my mind.

"Damn, she is going to be so pissed." Alex said.

"Call her and tell my brother came to pick us up and give her the location to the restaurant." I said in a panic.

Amber is sweet and all, but when she is pissed off, it is side you never see of hers. The car came to a stop and we got out; we walked into the restaurant. We sat down and the waitress brought us the menus; Alex and I decided to order Amber's favorite dishes.

"Princess why didn't you order your favorite dish?" Antonio asked.

"I am fine with these as well." I spoke.

Amber arrived and when she saw Antonio, her face changed.

"Oh, it's you!" She said in a dismissive tone.

"Yeah, it is me. What about it?" Antonio answered back.

"Seeing your face today, I can feel bad luck coming already." Amber said back to him.

"As if seeing you brings any luck." Antonio retorted back.

"Princess, I told you not to hang around with her, she is bad luck for you." Antonio said turning to me.

"Me, have you looked in the mirror, you have bad luck written all over your face." Amber said.

"Okay, okay enough you two. Every time you see each you start bickering I am starting to feel like you guys have a crush on each other." I said to the two of them.

"Me! Sorry but my taste in men would be that bad." Amber said.

"As if I would have a crush on her, I wouldn't even if she was the last woman on earth." Antonio said as well.
