Vino had gotten to work earlier that morning since he couldn't sleep a wink last night. He was tempted to dial Skylar's number but he braced himself. He wanted to sort out the issue with Camille so he could spend the weekend with Skylar undisturbed...
He took out his phone to dial Camille's number, it rang before she picks up on the third ring:
"Hello! Camille, are you free?" Vino asked her as he turned around on his chair to gaze out of the window. The streets of New York were just starting to buzz with people as everyone went around their daily businesses.
"Really! I'm a little bit busy right now but I will be free in the next two hours, why?" Camille answered. She couldn't believe Vino wanted to see her after she had called him non-stop yesterday night.
"Okay, I was thinking maybe you are_____"
"No, I will call you as soon as I'm done. Where should I meet you?" Camille asked him as she couldn't help being excited with the sex she was going to enjoy with Vino.
She loves the way he rode her to numerous orgasms. No man has ever done that for her, that's why she couldn't bring herself to leave him.
"At the office. Come meet me at the office" Vino told her as he glanced at the watch on his wrist. He still has enough time.
"Okay, I will do just that. See you in an hour time" Camille called into the phone before hanging up.
She thought Vino was no longer interested in her with the way he has been behaving lately but turns out that he has been busy with work. She shrugged as she went back to work.
Vino dropped the phone onto his table and turned to rest his back on the chair. Closing his eyes, he could see the smile on her face, the laughter in her eyes. He's already going crazy with the thought of Skylar on his mind. That's all he ever does now, him thinking about her...
Vino heard a knock on the door. He straightened on his seat. He arranged the files on his desk before calling "Come in" to the person.
Madison walked in carrying a stack of files in her hands. She dropped them on the table.
Vino went through them "These are the files for the Talent Hunt, right?" Vino asked Madison as he abandoned the files on the table and turned to stare at her.
"Yes sir. You asked me to get them ready as soon as possible and Mr. Falcone has called for a meeting concerning this at noon today "Madison replied, checking her notepad for his schedules.
Vino nodded as he browsed through the files again "Is Miss Evans in her office?" Vino asked her, pretending not to be curious about Skylar.
"Not yet sir" Madison replied with her head slightly bowed. She could never know what the boss was thinking, his face was always blank and void of any emotions and she rarely saw him laugh.
Where could she be? Is she sick? No, she would have called the office if she was. Vino wondered in his mind curiously. He was tempted to call her but he forced his mind off Skylar and back to work, he turned to stare at Madison.
"Take these files to Miss Evans and have her take over the meeting. I won't be around. And clear out all my schedules for today, okay?" Vino asked Madison who nodded just as the door opened and Camille walked in.
She was putting on a red bare back mini gown which fell below her knee and it was so tight that Madison wondered how she was able to walk in it.
Her lips were painted red. She cat walked into the office and went over to hug Vino who smiled at her.
"You can go now, Miss Brooke" Vino said dismissing Madison who wouldn't stop glaring at Camille. She felt disgusted at her. She hoped the boss wouldn't be so clueless as to marry a harlot as Camille.
"Vino, how are you? How was your trip?" Camille asked Vino. She sat down on the table in front of him, with her legs opened to invite him in.
Vino noticed that she wasn't putting on any panties. It wasn't new to him. Camille has always been one to seduce him at every given time she gets. He couldn't even count the number of times he had taken her in his office up against the table.
Is it such an irony that after enjoying such luxury from Camille, he was now the one seducing Skylar into his life and bed...?
"Are you alright, Vino?" Camille asked him. She stood up embarrassed from the table. Vino doesn't seem to notice that she wasn't putting on any panties. He seems so distant. Is he still busy with work?
"Nothing" Vino replied smiling at her "Come let's go. I booked a table for us at 'La Bite' for lunch" Vino told her. He stood up and took his suit jacket from the rack and led her out of the office.
Camille clung to his hands and was telling him how her day at the office was causing Vino to smile as they walked over to the elevator.
"You won't believe what he was saying, I nearly killed him off" Camille was saying as the elevator opened.
Vino walked in blindly and bumped into someone causing his heart to beat faster. He doesn't need to look at the person to know that it was Skylar. She was the only one who can ignite such emotion in him.
Vino immediately stretched out his hands to keep her from falling. She smiled her thanks at him as soon as she saw that it was Vino. The smile disappeared from her eyes as she saw Camille clinging to his hands like she belonged there.
"Miss Evans, I_____" Vino couldn't complete his sentence as Skylar was already walking down the corridor into her office.
Vino shrugged and got into the elevator. He wanted to explain himself to her but she's too annoyed with him to wait...
"Is that Miss Evans? The girl at the party with you?" Camille asked Vino as she turned to glare at Skylar's retreating. She never believed a day like this would come where she would drag Vino with a commoner, an ordinary employee.
"Yes," Vino answered, stepping out of the elevator as he guided Camille into his car which was parked in the parking lot.
Getting into the car, he fastened his seatbelt and turned to help Camille with hers before pulling off the parking lot. His mind was in turmoil as the thought of Skylar's sad face was printed in his mind.
"I'm so excited about her date today. It's been a while since we've last gone out since you are always eating me out in the room" Camille taunts Vino causing him to smile at her.
He couldn't help but think about what he was about to do to her. He just hopes Camille will be able to forgive him as she was the only closer person he has to a friend. He hoped he wouldn't spoil the day for her...
"What do you say about going home afterward? I don't want you to go back to the office. I want to spend the whole day with you just cuddling on my bed. Though I doubt we will be doing just that" Camille blabbered on winking at Vino. She loves the way he dominated her in the bedroom. He talks dirty to her and she loves just that...
"I won't be going back to the office," Vino answered as he pulled into the restaurant. He made no move to dispel the notion of going back with her...
Vino got out of the car and opened the passenger's door for Camille to get out while he handed the key over to the valet to go repark the car. He wanted to play the gentleman role till the end of the evening.
He leads Camille into the restaurant as the manager shows them to their table. He looked around remembering the first time he had brought Skylar here; she had told him that she was single after her boyfriend left her a year ago...
"What would you like to order, sir, ma'am?" The waitress asked them, looking from one to the other. She handed them the menu and waited for them to pick...
Vino went through the menu but he didn't find anything that was appealing to him. He has lost his appetite after seeing Skylar's sad face that morning.
Camille was busy watching the fleeting emotions passing through Vino's face to bother with the menu.
She handed it back to the waitress without opening it as she turned to smile at her "Get us your most prized dish" she told the waitress, dismissing her with a wave of her hand.
"What's wrong with you Vino," Camille asked Vino as soon as the waitress was out of earshot. With her hands folded across her chest, she watched him curiously.
She had noticed his unusual quietness all through the drive here but she chose not to say anything about it and now this:
"Nothing," Vino replied gently as he forced a smile onto his face. He wished Camille wasn't close to him.
He could have break up with her like he normally did with his other conquests by sending his driver to give them flowers and break up on his behalf but now that he chose to do it in person with Camille, he couldn't bring himself to do it:
"Are you breaking up with me?" Vino's eyes widened in shock as soon as he heard Camille ask him that. How did she know? Was he that obvious?
"I thought as much," Camille replied, taking his silence for a yes.
Her face hardened "Why are you breaking up with me? Is it because of her? "Camille asked him, trying to control her emotions. She has vowed never to cry for a man and she won't be doing that with Vino either...
"If by 'her' you mean Skylar, then yes" Vino replied as he nodded to the waitress who dropped their food gently on the table before turning to walk back.
Vino took a sip of the red wine in his glass and marvelled at the taste of the wine on his tongue. He made a mental note to get one for his dad who seemed to be fascinated with wines. He has taken that as a hobby after his retirement from the company...
Camille scoffed in annoyance "What? I can't believe you are breaking up with me because of that good for nothing girl" Camille shouted angrily as she glared at Vino across the table.
"Watch your tongue, Camille!" Vino growled angrily as he warned her. He was thankful that they were in a public place. He wouldn't know what he would have done if they were alone...
"I can't have you bad-mouth my woman" Vino told her after he had calmed down.
"Oh! She's your woman now, right?" Camille spat out angrily, she couldn't believe she let him lead her on thinking they were going to get married someday. Well, it looks like that wasn't going to happen anymore thanks to Skylar...
"You should be ashamed of yourself. You've been with me for how many years, Six or seven? And you couldn't even make me to fall in love with you but Skylar__ she made me fall without even trying____"
Camille stood up angrily and empty the wine onto Vino's body "I hope you rot in hell. Heartbreaker!!" She stormed off, leaving the restaurant holding her bag tightly in her hands...
"I deserve that right?" Vino said to no one in particular. At a time like this he was thankful that he had booked a private booth for them. He would have been embarrassed if they were in the same room as the rest of the diners...
Vino took out his phone to put a call through to Madison after checking his watch to make sure that she was still in the office...
"Hello! Mr. Thompson" Madison's voice greeted him on the other line as he could hear the shuffling of papers in the background confirming his guess right...
"Miss Brooke. I need you to bring a change of clothes for me at 'La Bite'" Vino told her and hung up without waiting for her response...
Thirty minutes later, Madison pulled into La Bite as she ran up into the restaurant with Vino's suit in her hands. She couldn't stop to appreciate such an expensively furnished restaurant. She immediately spotted Vino at one corner of the room and ran up to meet him...
"Here is your suit sir," Madison told him, causing Vino to stare at her. He collected the bag from her and went into the restroom to change...
Madison slumped down on the couch exhausted as she grumbled under her breath "Always cold, not even a thank you. Even after driving like a maniac here. Did Camille do that to him? Gosh! I hate that bitch"
Madison mustered under her breath. She reaches out to grab a lobster from Vino's plate and chews on it hungrily "Wow! This is so delicious!"
Vino came back into the room already changed. He handed the stained clothes over to Madison "Here, take this to the dry cleaner. Make sure the stains are removed before leaving, okay?"
Madison nodded as she stood up, sad that she couldn't eat the expensive food anymore "Where are you going to?" Vino's voice stopped her on her track.
"To the dry cleaner" Madison answered like she couldn't believe he was asking her that...
"Do that later. Stay and let's have dinner together" Vino told her as Madison nodded smiling as she sat back down on the couch.
After dinner, Madison turned to hand the file over to Vino, which she had forgotten in her rush to devour the food. "Here, Miss Evans asked me to give it to you. That's the minute for today's meeting"
"Oh! Thank you" Vino replied and got into his car after bading her goodnight. He pulled the car out of the restaurant and drove home with the thought of Skylar on his mind.
He couldn't wait to explain everything to her tomorrow. He hoped she'll forgive him after hearing him out...
