Diego drove to Megan workplace hurriedly, Megie Art World's was quite a popular studio in the city, so he somehow managed to find his way there.
He stepped inside, the door jingling softly. Diego's eyes swept around until they landed on Megan, her back turned, deeply engrossed in a discussion with her team around a large canvas that was half-finished.
"Damn it, Megan," he muttered under his breath, frustration tightening his grip.
Just then, Megan turned and caught sight of him. Her expression shifted from absorbed concentration to stunned surprise. "Diego?" she exclaimed, momentarily breaking her focus from the group.
With a quick excuse, she stepped away from her team and made her way toward him. The anticipation in the air clashed with the tension brewing inside Diego.
"What the hell are you doing here?" she asked, brows furrowing with irritation.
"I have no time for this shit. Get in the car, Megan," he said, turning on his heel and heading for the entrance.
"Wait!" she called after him, her voice laced with confusion. He didn't stop, striding toward the door. "What do you mean, get in the car? You just show up unannounced and think I'll follow you like nothing's happened?"
Diego paused, taking a breath before spinning around to face her. "This is serious, Megan! I have no time for this shit
"Hang on," she said, . "What do you want" she asked
Looking around and letting out a scoff, he placed his eyes on Megan disgustingly.
"My parents wants you to come over for lunch"
Megan's eyes flashed with anger. "Then you should've come up with some excuse, can't you see I'm working" She shot back
Diego's frustration exploded like a firecracker. "Work? Hey listen, I'm trying hard not to get on my dad nerves, don't try to make things more complicated"
"I don't care if you're trying to please him,if you have nothing sensible to say, just get out or I'll call the securities to throw you out like a trash" Megan shot back.
Glaring back at Megan he walked out leaving Megan standing alone.
Seeing Diego had left Megan let out a heavy sigh running a hand through her hair.
"That witch" Diego cursed getting back in his car.
"If I don't bring her over, dad will surely suspect something is going on" he thought.
Diego closed his eyes fraustratingly thinking of the next plan he could use in coercing Megan.
Not when he heard a knock on his window.
His eyes eyes flew opened in disbelief to find the figure standing outside.
Megan got in the passenger seat as she tried to avoid his gaze.
"You changed your mind,huh nasty" Diego said with a smirk.
"Shut up,I only changed my mind because your dad just called, there's no way I would've rejected it" Megan replied looking out the window.
"Hmm," Diego scoffed starting the car.
The drive to Diego house was tensed with unspoken words, Megan eyes was fixed out the window while Diego focus was solely fixed on the road.
"I never imagine myself being in the space with this witch" Diego thought rolling his eyes.
They finally got to his house, without waiting for Diego to park properly, Megan stormed out from the car walking to the door.
Diego pulled the car in the driveway walking after Megan .
Megan swinged the door opened walking in,
"Megan my dear" Raymond exclaimed standing up from his seat.
Forcing out a little smile Megan walked to Raymond.
"Come have a seat, lunch is served," pulling out a chair for Megan Raymond sat across the table with a wide grin plastered on his face .
"Hey dad" Diego walked in pulling out a chair close to Megan.
This was it,he would make sure not to create any room of doubt in his father's heart.
He needed his position back at the company and he wouldn't trade it for anything else.
"So, how was your date" Raymond asked staring at them.
"It was great dad" Diego replied lifting up a glass of wine to his lips.
"Megan, it's nice seeing you here" Maya chimed in walking forward.
She sat close to her husband staring at Megan with a warm smile.
"Please Enjoy,I made a lot" Maya continued gesturing to the dishes spread across the table.
Giving out a slight nod, Megan picked up a fork from the table taking a bite .
" So Megan, how's work" Diego dad asked, his eyes now fixed on her.
"It's great" Megan replied awkwardly.
She couldn't believe,one day she would be sitting next to Diego.
The thought of it disgusted her so bad that she felt like throwing up.
Despite the emotions swirling within her mind she tried her very best not to portray it, by keeping a calm composure.
"A lot of preparations is on hand, and I hope you'll cooperate with your fiance" Raymond said turning to Diego.
"Sure, Dad" he replied turning his gaze to his food.
"Megan,I know this whole arrangement stuff came as a shock to you, but don't fret, I trust my son;Diego, you'll come to love hi..."
Raymond words was interrupted by Diego choking on his food.
"Here, take this" Diego Mom uttered passing a Glass of water to him quickly .
"What was that, are you okay honey" Maya asked worriedly.
"Sorry…..uhmm ..sorry about that" looking at his dad awkwardly, Diego looked away trying to avoid the hard glare coming from his Dad.
"Megan, you might have to limit the time spent on work till the preparations are over,Diego will be coming over to pick you up tomorrow, and I hope that's okay with you" Raymond continued now facing Megan.
"What? Coming over the next day" Megan thought.
Today was their first day being together and then couldn't even stand each other, how was she going to cope with him Tomorrow.
" Damn it, what the hell is going on with dad,i feel like going nuts,I can't even bear the thought of picking her up tomorrow"
Diego stared at his dad, now clenching his fist tightly beneath the table.
