The next morning, when Eva arrived at the company, she found the pleasant news that she had a larger office, as one of the receptionists had informed her.
"Good morning, Miss Evangelina," a girl in one of the cubicles said to her.
"Good morning," Eva looked at her blankly. Every day she passed by and had never greeted her.
"Sorry to bother you, Mr. Demetrio asked me to inform you that his office has been changed to this one," the girl pointed her finger at him.
Eva opened her lips in surprise. Why on earth had her boss changed his office? Was it because of what had happened the day before? Or was it just to keep her away now that they had given each other that kiss?
Silly Eva, why did you kiss him? I told you this would bring you consequences she reproached herself.
"Thank you," Eva thanked the girl, who smiled warmly at her.
She seems like a nice person, she thought, as she directed her steps towards the new office.
As she entered the office, her eyes wondered. It looked like an executive's office. It had a glass window facing the street, plus a lounge sofa, a desk, and the floor was lined with rugs.
"Beautiful," Eva said aloud.
"Do you like it?" asked a voice behind, which made her startle.
"Yes, thank you," she said, turning around nervously. She had thought all night about what it was going to be like to look her boss in the face after that strange kiss.
"The rugs were my idea, Evangelina," he snapped at her, causing Eva's cheeks to redden.
Eva looked at him for a second, it seemed incredible to her that her boss had taken the trouble, that he would send precisely to lay the carpets, could it be that the great CEO Laureti liked her?
No, Eva, that's not possible, don't get your hopes up. She thought disillusioned.
"Eva, remember that this afternoon we leave for Russia, we would be there for a week." Eva nodded, she had everything prepared for a few days.
"We will leave at night, to arrive early tomorrow morning and stay in a hotel Do you have everything finished, the speech and the brochure?" asked Demetrio staring at her.
"Yes, as a matter of fact, I plan to do some touch-ups and it will be all ready," she explained swinging her legs, nervously.
"Well, I'm off to my office, don't forget to bring me my coffee, Miss Anderson," he asked smiling mischievously.
Why is he so fucking perfect, she thought, as soon as he came out.
She got right into work, until it was a few minutes before she had to get her coffee, she reached for it and put it on her desk. The day was hectic, her boss was on the phone when she walked in and she barely had time to talk to him, it was better this way, the further away he was, the safer her heart would be.
She was concentrating, finishing preparing for the meetings with the Chinese and the Russians, when someone knocked on her door, she knew it wasn't her boss, because she didn't knock and burst in like a dog in her house
"Come in," Eva said without looking in the direction of the door.
She straightened her composure when she saw Massimo Laureti in his office Demetrio's father is here? Fuck!
"Good morning, Mr. Laureti How can I help you?" Eva smiled nervously. Although he was a serious man, his look radiated authority, unlike Demetrio, who, although arrogant, had that youthful, relaxed look."
"Good morning, Miss Evangelina Anderson, may I sit down?" he asked without any expression on his face.
"Yes, yes, of course," Eva replied with flushed cheeks.
Massimo adjusted his tie, he was very elegant and beautiful, he looked like a Greek god of about forty-five years old.
"Miss Evangelina, I am pleased to inform you that, at the request of the top management, we have decided that your functions in this company will not only be those of executive secretary to Demetrio Laureti, in addition, you will collaborate as an engineer and contribute ideas to our facilities." Evangelina wanted to shout at that moment, but first Massimo's serious and relaxed gaze turned to smile broadly.
He shook her hand affectionately about a hundred times and said:
"Thank you very much, Mr. Laureti, I won't let you down, I know this is the best company in the country and I will be on probation for a while, but I assure you I will do my part." Massimo smiled sideways and stood up.
"I hope so, have an excellent day," when Massimo came out, Evangelina started dancing around her office, although she was not going to stop being her boss's secretary, now she could participate in the activities with the App engineers, on the one hundred and first floor.
She started to dance wiggling her ass in a strange way, while saying words in other languages, when Demetrio peeked through the door.
"Evangelina!"
Eva turned around suddenly, nervous; she hadn't realized her boss was there.
"You handle your badge well," Demetrio said smiling sideways making the secretary go mute.
Demetrio approached her, he always did that every time he wanted to see her nervous, it caused him a lot of amusement as well as pleasure.
"How I'd love for you to wiggle that plate for me someday," he whispered in her ear. Eva felt the hairs on her left arm stand up and her little slit begin to moisten.
"Mr. Laureti!", Eva turned red as a tomato.
Demetrio stepped back and interrupted her before the beast started to fight.
"I've come to invite you to lunch." Eva opened her lips wide Her boss was inviting her to lunch? There were too many surprises that day.
"Woman, answer me, are we going to lunch?", Demetrio turned again to her, who was stunned beyond belief.
"Yes, Mr. Demetrio, I'm starving," she replied grabbing her purse.
The two walked together, Tamara was dead angry, not only had it backfired on him for locking her in his office, (he had been given a better one) but now Demetrio was walking around with her like she was a trophy.
"I don't know why you look at them with hatred Tamara, if everyone knows that Demetrio takes all the secretaries to bed," said Rosa, her partner.
"I know and that's not what bothers me, it's that there's something else about that ugly one, if my boss is with her, who is not at all your prototype, it means she's different."
"How is that, explain yourself?"
"I understand myself Rosa, I understand myself, but this is not going to stay like this, he had been waiting for years for Jennifer to come out to seduce him and now that ugly girl is not going to arrive to snatch him away from me."
Rosa shook her head.
When they reached the second floor, they walked together before everyone's eyes; who for the first time saw Demetrio walking with a woman and especially one like Evangelina, who was so grotesque that she didn't seem to agree at all with her boss.
"What is your favorite food?" asked Demetrio when they entered the restaurant.
"I love fish," she confessed.
"I hate it." Eva smiled. They were so different even in food preference, Eva, loved seafood, while Demetrio, everything from the land, he was a promiscuous able to change women like he changed underpants and she practically a nun, whom the only man she had ever kissed was her boss.
They sat down at the table, Eva felt her hands shaking like jelly, she squeezed her thighs tightly together, she still couldn't believe she was there with her boss, sitting in a restaurant reading a menu card.
"I'll order Italian food," Demetrio said as usual and it was obvious, he was Italian.
"But how? You can't eat gluten!", Eva glared at him.
"I know the owner of this restaurant, for me the dishes are with gluten free pasta", Demetrio winked at her Could he stop being arrogant?
"Me too, I want to eat Neapolitan pizza," Eva said smiling.
They both ordered, Demetrio had sent for a bottle of wine.
"Wine? You know I don't drink," she said blushing.
"It's just a sip, we should celebrate your promotion," he replied. Eva couldn't help but smile, she felt he had something to do with it.
As they drank the wine and waited for the food, Demetrio kept looking at Evangelina, he seemed to detail every single thing on her face as if it was unreal.
"How much do you look at me, Mr. Laureti, am I so ugly?" she said looking into his eyes.
"Don't say that Evangelina," he grabbed her by the cheek. "Don't let anyone make fun of your physique, not even a stupid boss". He reproached himself because she had done it in the past. "You're prettier than you think you are."
Anderson's eyes lit up; they were the most beautiful words he had ever heard in his life.
"Thank you," Eva mumbled as their food was brought to them.
They began to taste their dishes; Demetrio's pasta sizzled a little on his cheek, causing the sauce to stain it. Evangelina took a napkin and wiped his lips.
Demetrio felt his belly tingle, at that touch from his secretary.
"Thank you," Demetrio murmured without looking away from her gray eyes.
Eva looked down at the floor contrite at her impulse.
"We should get back, boss, we have a lot to do and in a few hours our flight leaves," Ev spoke trying to change everything.
"Yeah, you're right, let's go."
The two went back to their work. Eva's heart was pounding, she couldn't believe everything that was happening, her boss seemed to want to be with her.
After hours of work, she took her car and went to her apartment to change, as she hadn't spoken to her parents in days, she called them by video call.
"Dad, mom," Eva greeted them through the screen.
"Daughter, we love you, we hadn't called you because a pole fell down here and damaged the internet," her mother spoke.
"Tell me my little one, how are you doing at the company?" asked Guillermo, curious.
"That's what I call them because they promoted me!" jumped Eva excitedly.
"I knew it," her father jumped up and started dancing like crazy. The same steps Eva was doing.
"Well, I'll leave you, my boss is coming to pick me up, I'm going to Russia to work."
"To Russia, daughter?" her father wanted to cry, his little girl was growing so fast he couldn't believe it.
"Use a condom, daughter!" her mother told her just as Demetrio was coming through the apartment door, Eva, frightened, turned off the laptop from the shot.
"Shall we go?" Demetrio looked spectacular, he was wearing sports clothes to endure the trip, for a moment Evangelina couldn't help but feel bad, she didn't fit in with her boss, he was so perfect, she felt sorry to go next to him.
They got into the car and arrived at the airport, Eva was very surprised to see that her boss had reserved a seat next to her, in the same VIP area, although she had done it before, she didn't think that on this expensive trip she would do it too.
Eva made herself comfortable and put on some headphones to listen to music, trying to relax, she still felt nervous about having the CEO next to her.
She laid her head back on the seat and drifted off to sleep.
"Eva, Eva!", Demetrio called insistently a voice. "I want to go to the bathroom."
"It's not like I pointed the rifle at you," Eva said still asleep.
"My arm, Miss Evangelina!" replied Laureti a little louder, making her wake up.
Eva's eyes widened as she found herself wrapped around Demetrio's arm, who was drooling all over her.
"For God's sake, excuse me!", Eva jerked away.
Demetrio smiled sideways and got up to go to the bathroom.
The next few hours Demetrio stared at Evangelina as she slept.
You can't feel this way about your secretary, dammit! He affirmed, just by seeing her round lips his friend stood up like a soldier ready for war, the bad thing was that his opponent was tough and he didn't want to give him much war.
He tried to put those dirty thoughts out of his mind, otherwise he was going to spend the whole trip in the bathroom suffocating his poor friend, so he turned his back to him and fell asleep too.
The voices of the stewardess woke him up. Since Eva had not gone to the bathroom, Demetrio had to wait for her to relieve herself before leaving.
They met up with the bodyguard and went straight to the hotel to rest, as in the afternoon they would have to go to the meeting with the partners.
