Caught In The Middle

Chapter 52

I was here in the conference room at Dominic's conference room alongside Dominic, his secretary Ahzeka, Miguel Chavez and his son Dantè. They were busy discussing things pertaining to doing business together while Ahzeka take notes and I had occasionally gave my input so far as to how much of a success Miguel's business could be if he did business with Dominic. In all honesty I wasn't just saying things to get Dominic the deal, he was indeed a successful business man. After all he had taken over Dad's company which consists of many other chains of hotels, restaurants, club etc and not once since he's taken over in the couple years had the businesses ever failed.

Right now I was just dying for the deal to be finalized so I could get out of this room. From the moment I had walked in here Dantè had been creeping me out. He's been staring at me like a piece of meat that he wants to devour the minute he gets the chance. In other words he's been giving me that weird sexual gaze that was making me beyond uncomfortable now. There was nothing I could do right now but put up with it, even more so he was the one influencing his Dad's decision whether to make the business deal. I can't believe I was doing this but I kept trying to smile with him from time to time. I was really flirting with the guy to ensure Dominic's business deal.

Dantè wasn't my type though. He was about 5"8, Platinum blonde and kinda skinny, in addition he was either about my age or a year or so older or could be younger I wasn't sure but he was definitely not my type. And that creepy pervish smile he kept throwing my way had my skin crawling. I was sure I'm gonna regret coming here today. I was beyond relief when Miguel decided to give Dominic a chance saying that he's heard how great his businesses were and he was going to give him a chance to prove it to him. We finally stood up as Miguel shook our hands as did his son. Dantè had kept my hand longer than normal in his.

"Can I have it back now?" I chuckle nodding towards my hand in his.

"Oh yeah sure" Dantè said letting go. "Sorry its just that I'm captivated by you, Alexa was it?"

"Yeah" I nodded placing a fake smile on my face.

"How about I take you to lunch Alexa?" Dantè smiled. "I promised you'll love it"

"Uh... I don't know" I said looking around noticing that Miguel was watching me as well as Dominic and Ahzeka. "I kinda have to get back to w...."

"I believe she'd love to go to lunch with you" Dominic said before I could finished talking.

I turned to him glaring at him, sending him a look which said ' I'm going to kill you for getting me stuck with this perv'. Dominic gave me a look which said 'please just go with the flow, we just got a deal the least you can do is help me thank them by going to lunch with the poor guy'. I turned back to Dantè with a fake smile.

"I guess we could get lunch then" I said to him.

"Cool so let's go then" he said to me.

"Looking forward to do business with you Mr. Luciano" Miguel said to Dominic. "I'll see you another time"

"Like wise Mr. Chavez" Dominic nodded.

"Ms. Luciano" Miguel nodded at me as I gave him a smile before he left.

"Lunch Alexa?" Dantè stressed walking towards the door.

"Yeah, go ahead I'll meet you out there in a second" I smiled at him.

As soon as Dantè had left as well as Ahzeka I walked over to Dominic and punch him in the jaw.

"What the hell!?" Dominic yelled holding his jaw. "What the hell was that for!?"

"That was for sticking me with a bossy pervert for lunch" I said to him. "I said I'd help in convincing Miguel than you're perfect business man to do business with, not go on a lunch date with his desperate perverted son. That's over kill Dominic"
