Chapter 28: I don’t like it this way, try it again
No servants were employed at the Villa Real, but only a cleaning lady came at certain times.
Vanessa made herself a simple breakfast of sandwich and a glass of milk, then went out to get a taxi, because her car was parked at the Cazalla Group.
She left half an hour earlier to avoid the rush hour but saw a familiar car at the community gate, Dylan’s. This made her suspicious and nervous. This made her suspicious and nervous.
Vanessa wanted to ignore him, but he started beeping and forced her to stop in fright.
-Asshole, and he’s smiling! -Vanessa muttered under her breath and had to run to the passenger seat.
-Drive.
“How dare you wait for me at the door?”
-I don’t like the way you talk, try again.
Dylan loved to see how irritated and helpless Vanessa was, which pleased him.
-Dylan, please, can we go now? -said Vanessa slowly with a fake smile.
-Of course,” Dylan finally started the car.
Five minutes later, Vanessa’s phone rang, it was Orlando. Vanessa didn’t really feel like answering the call, but she had to because she knew that Orlando was very insistent.
-Is it Orlando? Do you need me to answer the phone for you?
-No,” Vanessa gave him the evil eye and answered the phone.
-Vanessa, where are you?” shouted Orlando.
-Where can I be? Well, on my way to work.
“Is this mentally ill person calling me so early in the morning to yell at me?”
-I came back to pick you up on purpose, and you’ve already left?
-And what do you want? Do I have to wait for your charity? Orlando, don’t be so childish! What’s the use of treating me well all of a sudden, I don’t need it and I’m disgusted by it. Please, let’s keep our distance and not bother each other any more!
“It’s unreasonable! I don’t understand why Orlando has been behaving so strangely since last night!”
Vanessa didn’t want to pay any more attention to Orlando, hung up the call and switched off her mobile.
Having done all that, Vanessa remembered that she was still in Dylan’s car and the atmosphere suddenly became a little strange.
-It seems that your relationship is not very good.
-Nothing to do with you! -Vanessa looked irritated at Dylan’s mischievous grin, because she knew he was sure to laugh at her on the inside, he was a total demon!
-Do you need my help as an uncle?
-Your help? -said Vanessa in a mocking tone. I’d be grateful if you wouldn’t harm me. Besides, I don’t think you really want to help me.
-You think so badly of me.
“Bad? No, lousy!”
Vanessa criticised him internally and kept silent until she reached the Cazalla Group.
-Thank you for your help.
That said, Vanessa opened the door and got straight out of the car.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
-Vanessa.
Hearing Felipe’s voice, Vanessa was startled and saw that her father had just arrived. His driver always dropped him off at the entrance of the building and then parked in the underground garage.
At that point, Dylan had not yet left and Vanessa secretly winked at him to go away. However, Dylan ignored her and got out of the car to greet Felipe politely:
-Good morning, Mr. Felipe.
-Dylan? -Felipe was surprised, because he hadn’t expected Dylan, but Orlando, to be the one driving his daughter to work.
-My company is near here. I saw Vanessa waiting for the taxi on the way and gave her a lift.
-What a coincidence!
Philip didn’t think too much, because he had a very good impression of Dylan.
-Mr. Felipe, if you have some free time during the day, would you mind having a little chat with me? As I have just returned from abroad, I don’t know whether I would have the honour of receiving a lesson from you.
Philip was not going to turn him down, because he admired Dylan and also wanted to talk to him.
-Of course I am, today I am free! But don’t call me sir, but Philip.
-Philip,” Dylan nodded and gave Vanessa a mysterious, meaningful look.
When Vanessa was furious to see them chatting happily, she caught Dylan’s gaze and was unconsciously frightened, because she felt that this man was doing it with bad intentions.
“Fuck, what the hell is he doing?”
-Vanesa. -Vanesa?
Vanessa regained consciousness after Philip called her name twice, she hid her thoughts and hugged her father’s arm affectionately to enter the company.
-Dad, come on, we’re late.
-What a child! -Philip smiled and let himself be carried away by his daughter.
Dylan also followed them and raised a decent smile on his handsome face. He was apparently looking at the Cazalla Group building, but all his attention was focused on Vanessa.
So, Dylan discovered that his kitten showed different faces in front of him, in front of Orlando and in front of Philip. And the face that was least in keeping with her personality was in front of Orlando.
“Is this proof that Vanessa doesn’t love Orlando as much as she thinks she does?”
This point satisfied Dylan and he decided to tone down his teasing of his kitty.
In short order, the lift reached the seventeenth floor and Vanessa had to leave them, as much as she wanted to keep an eye on Dylan to prevent him from saying anything inappropriate, she couldn’t do it.
-Goodbye, Dad. Goodbye, Dylan.
-Come on, let’s get to work! -said Felipe, smiling and stroking his daughter’s head.
-Daddy, I’m not a child anymore,” Vanessa complained affectionately.
Vanessa hurried away without daring to glance at Dylan, because she didn’t want him to see her childish face in front of his father, although she never thought about why.
Then Vanessa was distracted all morning, because she feared that the evil man was intentionally saying something to Philip.
In the reception room on the top floor, Felipe was having a good time with Dylan. He already knew Dylan was very talented, but he was still surprised as he got to know him.
