Dirty devil
Lucas stood by the corner when he asked his brother again, in a worrisome tone.
“Are you sure this will work, Sandro?”
While the younger Petrakis groaned and rolled his eyes, as he put his hands behind him to push Lucas.
“Oh come on you scaredy cat! Didn’t you say I’m the king of fuck boys, just trust me!”
Sandro pushed him knowing that Lucas needed to step up his game. Whereas Nathalie was surrounded by some other trouble.
“Wait!”
But before he could go Sandro again pulled him ack, as they both hid themselves behind the huge shelf. Sandro’s manager wasn’t there on duty on that day, that’s why Sandro had the permit to do whatever he wanted to.
“What?”
Sandro hid him and covered his mouth as he pointed it out towards a certain direction.
“Did you see that? Who is that man with your girlfriend?”
Lucas was in his own thoughts that he did not see the man approaching Nathalie, he felt grateful to Sandro for being present there in that moment.
“I… I don’t know.”
Lucas became curious after seeing the worrisome expression on her face, that Sandro chirped. He really wanted to help his brother, genuinely this time, that he shook Lucas to bring him to senses.
“Hey, hey, her expressions are ringing a bell, man!”
No wonder he was the hyper energetic one among them, and sure enough the mischievous devil too. Lucas took a step further but then halted in the place.
“But I can’t help her, if I did then my identity will be exposed.”
He rebuked Sandro and refused to help her out, when Sandro jerked and turned Lucas’ face towards himself.
“Is your bloody identity more important then your woman, huh?”
Alessandro sounded utterly angry after heard those words from his brother.
“Come brother! I know you are brave and wise enough to take a good decision immediately.”
Sandro nodded and tapped on his shoulder as he encouraged him to step up. Lucas nodded and decided to help her.
‘Yes, Sandro is right! I have to risk my identity, if not now then later. It is bound to happen anyway.’
He thought to himself and appeared from behind the shelf.
It was the moment when a sound of ding accompanied his pocket with a vibration, Lucas imminently rattled out his phone while his anxious eyes looked out for Nathalie.
‘Where did she go? She was just here a moment ago.’
Lucas shifted his focus on the phone which was a text from Nathalie, it stated ‘I am going somewhere, will be back home by the evening. You should head home first, and I’m sorry about the coffee.’
Lucas felt suspicious about the text and contacted Mark to figure out the truth.
“Hey Mark, track her location right now.”
The man knew he had to be her saviour but things had been getting confusing recently, which was not in his control no matter how he tried. Lucas looked around impatiently to see Sandro, who seemed occupied with attending the customers.
‘Who the hell was that man? Nathalie seemed worried and shocked.’
He stood there waiting for Sandro while he began to put all the pieces into two and two. It was the moment when he realized something, which sent a chill down his spine.
‘Could it be Diego? No, no this is wrong, really wrong. Where did he take her then?’
Sandro appeared behind him after seeing Lucas worried.
“Hey, is everything alright? Where is she?”
He began to search the hall and cracked a joke at the utmost wrong moment.
“Don’t tell me you got dumped, brother!? Haha, the great Lucas Petrakis got dumped for telling how rich he is, haha.”
He stopped laughing after seeing his troubled face.
“Are you alright, bro. What happened?”
Lucas haphazardly replied to him.
“Hey, I have to to go now. And yes, thanks a lot for the help brother.”
Lucas hugged him and left half running and half walking, as he headed outside leaving a quizzical Sandro behind.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
“What has gotten into this man? Tsk!”
Sandro clicked his tongue and began to resume his work.
-.-.-.-.-.-
Whereas on the other hand Diego had been sitting with Nathalie in the car, while the lady seemed comfortable outwardly.
‘Come on, Nathalie! What were you thinking when you agreed to meet him?’
No doubt Lucas’s hunch was true and the man he saw back there in the hotel was Diego’s butler, who had called out her to meet his boss in the car.
‘He can’t be planning something nice, you know! But you still dare agreed to meet him, just why!?’
She shook her head slightly as the lady bit her lower lip to ensure she could hid her nervousness.
‘You even ditched Lucas to meet him. Ugh! Come on, just admit that you did stupid.’
The lady felt awkward around him, which was definitely not hidden by Diego.
“You know Nathalie,”
Diego broke the silence which kind of made her shudder under his penetrating gaze, that made Nathalie feel bad about herself. The man crept his hand closer to her sneakily, he wore a dirty expression on his face.
The lady ebbed not knowing that it was reflexively done, which made Diego chuckle.
“Haha, come on! You are behaving as if we don’t know each other.”
The man settled himself back in the seat and cleared his throat to resume his
Nathalie no doubt became infuriated by his advancements, how dare he make a move on her!?
“You loved being touched by me that night, and now you are behaving as if I’m going to bite you.”
He deliberately reminded her on that night when they both had sex in some hotel after drinking.
Later on the following day they both quarreled on the incident and Nathalie left him there completely without any answer. In the present moment she had been hating him ever since, and turned her head only to level him with a scowl.
“Because now you disgust me, Diego!”
