#Chapter3
He seemed reluctant but i really wasn't giving him a choice.
/"Okay/" he finally nodded.
/" was really nice to meet you all by the way and thanks for letting us play with you Thomas/" Justin said as he grabbed Jessie's hand. They gave Thomas a quick hug and then me.
I made sure Thomas got in a taxi home before I left to find this guy.
I pulled out my phone and searched him in google. It came with a lot of articles but I finally found what I was looking for. I clicked on his companies website and located his building. It made more sense when his building wasn't far from here.
Now as I see the name printed over the big building in the centre of London I realised that I recognise the business name more than the man himself. My dad worked here when he was younger, I knew that. I think my dad used to have meetings here all the time back when he was into architecture, I'm sure he did his apprenticeship here when he was younger too, but I can't be sure.
I walked inside quickly. I was surprised i was even allowed through the lobby doors but i still had to make it through reception which was going to be more difficult.
/" Hello darling, how can i help you,/" a lovely older woman said walking up towards me. She scared the living daylights out of me.
/" yes actually, is there any chance i could talk with Mr Tesoro,/" i asked her. There was no point in lying i was hoping she would appreciate my honesty.
/" Sorry darling but he only speaks with people who have an appointment/" she explained sadly. I sighed, i was expecting that response so i wasn't too surprised.
He must be quite busy and i doubt he wants to spend his time speaking to a girl like me.
Maybe i could just slide into his Dm's. i could even do it on the hotel account, not like my parents would know.
I really thought my luck was off but from the corner of my eye, I spotted him. He was running up the large staircase with a woman following him quickly. The woman in front of me eyed me suspiciously.
I ran over to the stairs /" Mr Tesoro/" i shouted, desperate to get his attention.
He paused at the top of the stairs. I breathed deeply relieved. He slowly turned around and i knew from the look he gave me he knew exactly who i was. Maybe not from the hotel but rather from 20 minutes ago.
/" let her come up,/" he said loudly at the woman in front of me. She was sceptical but i guess whatever he says goes.
She allowed me to go up. Everyone around me stopped to stare. Probably wondering what business I have with their boss.
Nathaniel didn't stop to wait for me but instead headed straight to his office.
/" Okay, you're very lucky to even get the time with Nate so make it quick he has a meeting in 10 minutes,/" the woman said walking up to me, she handed me a visitor lanyard. I guessed this was his assistant.
I guess she was on a nickname basis with him. Makes me think shes showing off to me that maybe they are closer than just colleagues. Not like i cared that much anyway.
She left me alone quickly when her mobile started to ring.
The door leading to his office was open slightly. I slowly stepped inside.
As I walk into the office, I'm surprised at how messy it is, papers are scattered everywhere on his desk and floor. Seems like he has had a rough morning.
When I scan the room there are no decorations, no picture frames on his walls or his desk and not a comfy chair in sight. I'm guessing that he doesn't spend much time looking for comfort in his office but Isn't this supposed to be an architectural company.
/"Take a seat /" he says bluntly.
/"Thank you/" I say quietly almost like a whisper. I always seem to be more confident with eyes on me or with a group of people but being alone with Nathanial Testoro is proving to be very difficult. He is extremely intimidating.
Taking a deep breath I slide my tongue along my lips to try and wet my lips from their dryness caused by being nervous.
/"I just wanted to come here and ask you about what you did earlier you know down the street I know it was you who left the money/" I asked him.
Finally, I look towards him, he has a thoughtful expression on his face. All of a sudden, his eyes widen and he becomes angry /" /" I really thought you'd be different. All you women are exactly the same/" he says clearly annoyed.
I don't understand why he is so angry. /" I don't think you understand/" I said narrowing my eyes at him. If he's implying that I am just here for more money he is sadly mistaken.
/" oh I do though. I suggest you leave here and refrain yourself from seriously embarassing yourself. Try to not use men for money, its an ugly quality/" he snaps pointing over to his door. He pressed down on a button and spoke. /" Come and escort her out and meet me in the conference room/"
Was he seriously not going to let me speak. Just judge me like this.
I wasn't going to let him talk to me like that. I walked up to his desk and grabbed a pen and paper. I scribbled down the number for Thomas quickly. /"I am not here to ask you for more money, I am here because that boy wanted me to find you. He wants to know if they money was all for him, since he wanted to share it all. I cant stand to hear another word coming from your mouth so when youre not sucking your own dick, give that boy a ring/" I slammed the paper into his chest.
Men were infuriating sometimes.
I don't know if I was seeing things or was that guilt in his eyes. But he must be crazy if he thought I was going to ignore the fact that he accused me of being a gold digger.
The moment the door opened revealing his assistant I stormed out, not bothering to wait for her. I just wanted to get out of here.
