Kara’s POV

*
        “Kara.”

The look in his eyes was so raw and so deep that it rocked my whole world and shook me relentlessly.

The intensity in his eyes was driving me insane. Stephano was in love with someone, and questions were beginning to swirl in my mind. Why weren’t they together? What was her name? Was it someone I knew? And even if it was someone I knew, would she treat him right? And did she like him as much as I did?
The love that emanated off him as he spoke so lovingly about this anonymous lady was magical and it made a teeny amount of envy spread through me! I desperately needed to hear the name of that woman who had his heart because it was important.

For now, since we were in a relationship, I should know this vital information. If anything was to happen and he wanted to break us up suddenly, I would know she was the reason.

“Kara.” The faint voice from earlier spoke again and succeeded in startling me this time. My eyes widened, now sure I hadn’t been hallucinating when I first heard the voice. I’d thought I heard wrong when the call first came since I didn’t expect anyone here except Stephano and Andre to know me or even call me. I turned around, only to spot Diego walking in with a grin he was flashing my way.

“Diego?” A frown easily slipped onto my face as I turned around properly. “Hey. What are you doing here?”

He chuckled, looking from me to Stephano. “I work here. Good morning boss.”

He was in blue tee-shirt and black suit pants, with a tie dangling below his neck. I recollected him saying it was either he searched for a job soon or return to California but it all depended on the call he was expecting. Also, that had just been a few days ago when we chatted and he hadn’t told me he already got a job. He said he didn’t know anyone here besides me but now he already got a job, as I could see and he was still very much around. Maybe he found the person he was looking for.

“I didn’t ask you to come in. When did you even start working here?” Stephano demanded in a voice laced with irritation and my gaze easily wandered in his direction. I knew he was angry and I could guess the reason.

Diego didn’t acknowledge him when he entered his office and that was obviously unprofessional. Also, he didn’t knock before entering and had interrupted us from our intense conversation. Or maybe he actually called me and I just didn’t hear it.

“I’m sorry-”

“You didn’t even knock. Get out and get me the manager in your department!” Diego and I kept quiet while Stephano was still fuming. “You need to be put on probation, because such behavior isn’t acceptable in my company.”

“S-Stephano... Please calm down.” I whispered and walked towards him slowly.

“I won’t calm down, Kara. Don’t tell me to calm down.” He grunted without meeting my eyes. He was angry. I didn’t know the remedy so, yeah, I just stood beside him awkwardly. All those years of him constantly throwing glares told me not to mess with him, girlfriend or not. Besides, we were even just getting to open up to each other. I heaved a sigh.

“I’m sorry for just barging in like that sir. I knocked but didn’t get a reply so I thought I could come in. Erm, Kara, I saw you at the lobby and was first wondering if you were the one but of course you’d be the one so I said I’d say hi. Have a nice time.”

“You too Diego.” I gave him a tight smile, feeling slight pity for him since he was currently at the receiving end of Stephano’s anger.

Stephano glared hotly at the door when Diego shut it. Maybe I should give him some space since he looked really angry.
