SWNOVELS Chapter New Intern
Clara reached to the office at nine, she was so eager to meet Autumn and find out about the level of her relationship with Alessandro, however, more than an hour passed and there was no update about Autumn nor it was of Alessandro. It was the first day of operations at this branch, for this office it was strict order from Alessandro to hire new staff, he doesn't want to disrupt his old offices by taking away their trained and smart employees, hence new recruitments were done for this office and all the staff was busy in introducing to themselves and looking out for their departments and showing their pleasure and struggle for hiring in to the Martini Group.
The heads of all departments reached to the office at time, punctuality was essential here. Treasury department was to be headed by Autumn and she wasn't reached yet, all the new recruits were waiting for their head patiently as her assistant came in to the room and informed to them that she had got late today due some personal reasons.
Clara fisted her hands at this, as she was very well aware what it meant by the personal reasons here. She sneered and rolled her eyes, she was never a friendly person hence when her colleagues offered her to join them in a group she refused, her eyes were glued to the lift from where Autumn was supposed to enter in the office.
When the clock struck at half past ten, the door of the lift open revealing Alessandro and behind her was Autumn trying her best to cover the neck from her hair, when Alessandro said something and removed her hair from front, after a while she saw her making a bun of her hair talking angrily to Alessandro and instead of getting annoyed and irk he was laughing.
The moment was enough to tell her about their relationship, her eyes started to burn. All the employees of treasury department stood up from their chairs in respect when the Autumn entered in to the room.
'Hello guys, I am so sorry. I was occupied with something important. Next time it won't happen' she smiled broadly and welcomed her new staff in to Martini Group, discussing about their work and clients and their approach of work, a good introduction to their work. Employees liked their head as she was polite and friendly to them, except Clara who was not interested in what she was saying, for the matter of fact she was not here to do work nor she had any such intention. The only purpose of her being here was to break the relation of Autumn and Alessandro.
'Sorry to interrupt you, but don't you think showing off your love bites is very unprofessional' when everyone was getting involve in healthy discussion Clara made sure to embarrass her in front of the team. Autumn observed her intently, trying to understand her motive and the tone she used. She got the bad vibes from her but she noticed through her peripheral vision that all of her staff was waiting for her response, she cleared her throat and forced a smile on her lips that had the light shades on lipstick on them.
'You can ask your man to give a love bite to you too and you are free to show off to us, we won't mind. Do we guys?' she turned to ask from others and they quickly nodded their heads agreeing to her.
'See' she said to her making sure the smile is plastered on her lips, however, her eyes were betraying, they had the fire burning in them which could have burn the Clara alive, only if she had used her power that Alessandro has given to her. 'No, thanks. I am highly professional woman and don't do cheap things' Clara sneered making Autumn to chuckle.
'Great then, good luck Ms. Highly professional' she snapped at her and all others in the room started to laugh. Autumn was not happy with this one on one conversation and decided to look for the HR who has hired her, she needs to talk to them. Sighing she assigned the quick tasks to her team giving them the deadlines, when her assistant entered in to the room informing her of the call from Alessandro, Clara's ear got alert and she looks at her face with narrow eyes. 'Okay, I am coming' she told to her assistant and gave a last glance to her team, specially a long stare to Clara, who was trying her best to act busy in the work.
'I will be back shortly' she said to them and left the office heading towards Alessandro, on her way the only thing that was going in her mind was Clara, she thought that she had seen her somewhere before but where she couldn't place her finger on that.
She knocked the door and entered in to his office after getting the permission, his desk was straight in line from the door and he was sitting behind that desk on large chair, she can tell that it would be extremely comfortable to sit for the long hours. Standing beside his desk she waited for him to get free and acknowledge her presence.
'Take this, you will be looking after the matters at my absence' he extended a file to her, she was surprised that he hadn't raised his head and knows where she was.
'You shouldn't be doing this Sandro. People will talk behind' Alessandro raised his head and gave her a concerning look.
'Do you care?' Autumn shook her head.
'How can't I? They will obviously pass awkward comments' he was listening to her intently when many creased formed on his forehead.
'And who we are talking about here?' his question apprehensive her and she tried to change the topic.
'No one, tell me why you called me in office' Alessandro watched her quietly for few seconds and those few seconds were enough to nervous her.
'Okay fine' she surrendered.
'There is a new intern, she saw the hickey on my neck and asked me if this is a professional way to come at work like that' she tossed the file on desk in annoyance, he tilted his head and asked.
'What you said then?' Autumn bit her lips, confused of his reaction.
'I asked her to get a same hickey from his man and can show to us, we will not mind' she pursed her lips after that because he started to laugh loudly.
'Awesome, I liked the answer' standing from the chair he came close to her resting his hands on the sides of the table, enveloping her and kissed her on the lips.
'Do you take every place as your bedroom?' she glared.
'Nah! You are my room' Autumn's lips parted in shock, she wasn't expecting this from him.
'Where ever you are, that is the place where I will be in peace and can rest' he looked in to her brown orbs, that has been soften due to his lovely confession.
'I love you so much' he once again expressed his love for her and captured her lips, Autumn who did not wanted to do any of such thing in the office, throws away her own rules and kissed him back, wrapping her hands around his neck, she deepened the kiss.
