Falling For The Blind Billionaire (Book 1)

Chapter 20: The crack-feels

At the bottom of my heart lies a secret that I have never told a soul in the world. There is an image of this person who is dearest to me and closer than anything else. -Melanie Rock

GISELLA

"Thank you, Signor Nicolo, for your cooperation today," Leonora handshake him as I did the same after her. "We will not see you off then," I added, knowing fully well that I don't want any more talk with him. I nodded at Alessandro, who was smiling at me and also the beautiful Zeta.

"Bye, Signor." Leonora childishly waved at him, not as if he could see her. "This way, Signorino," Zeta added as she turned him around, and they walked away.

Leonora sheepishly looks at me then screams. "Oh my goodness, I never thought that I would have a chance to see Nicolo Caruso in person or even have a conversation. He is so cute even being blind," she jumps up and down, grinning manically and smiling.

I was happy that she was delighted. "Leonora, you're indeed a professional work of art," I held her shoulders smiling.

she was still being amused. "Of course, Gisella, I am sure am," she added.

"Where are the interview draft and recordings?" A familiar voice was heard from behind us. It was no other person than our rivalry.

Leonora's happy face was immediately filled with anger. "Team leader Conte, what do you want now?"  Leonora spat out angrily.

Bianca Conte frowns, folding her arms to her chest. "Nothing much, Mia Cara Leonora, even if I give you guys the privilege of the interview, do you think my Team will also give you the final interview results as well?" she hisses.

"Then why do you go through the hassle of changing people for the interview then?" I question her angrily.

Immediately, the whole of Team one walks in. "It's simply because the Team leader is a nice person and wants to give you a chance," Adelesia spouts angrily.

"That's right," Stephan added.

I smirk. "Oh, is that so? in the case I remembered, I didn't ask for a chance from your Team, and also last time I checked, there are people in your Team, why not give them a chance?" I smile.

Bianca Conte frowns anxiously. "So, you mean that Team two will not share Nicolo Caruso's Interview result with us, right?" she yells.

"Team leader Conte, what are you doing?" Signora Jolanda asks as she walks in. "Signor Caruso shouldn't have gone far. You can ask him some questions yourself if you want." Signora Jolanda says, feeling pissed off by the likes of Bianca.

Signora Conte frowns. "If we are going to disturb Signor Caruso for such trivial matter, Isn't it going to show that our publishing Agency has no respect for him and is also useless?"  she spat. She turns angrily. "This time, I will let go of it. Next time, I won't be so gentle and nice with you all in Team two," she added and walked away.

I pick up my phone to dial Nicolo's number. On the second ring, Alessandro picks up and hands the phone to him. "Hello," his accent was grumpy as usual.

" Signore Nicolo, I just want to say thank you for what you did for my Team and me yesterday and today," I say in cold sweats dripping from my forehead.

BEEP. He hangs up immediately without saying a word to me. "Did he just hang up on me again..." I flamed up in annoyance.

BEEP...BEEP...BEEP... I look at my phone as I receive a message from him.

We are still around to pick you up, and we're waiting in the car outside.

My eyes were wide open in shock. Did he wait for almost five hours to take me home? "Seriously, he waited for me?" I questioned myself.
