His Lovely Obsession (English)

Chapter 32



Chapter 32

(Stacey)

She is drawing some designs when Cherry pulled a chair and sat next to her.

"Stacey can I ask you a question?" she heard her asked and she just nodded while continuing what

she's doing.

"I am really curious. How many boyfriends have you had? "

Without looking at her, she answered." I never had a boyfriend. " She threw the secretary a glance.

"Get out of here! You are too gorgeous! No boyfriend since birth? Bah! " Cherry said to her with her

eyes wide in disbelief.

"I am telling you the truth." she said matter-of-factly with a small smile then continued drawing.

"No way! That is really unbelievable! If I were in your shoes, I would probably have a lot of rich and

good-looking boyfriend! Geez louise Stacey ! Don't let your beauty go to waste!" Cherry said which

made her laugh quietly before she raised her face to look at her again.

"Hold on! I have a bright idea ! Let me introduce you to someone! He's single and works at an IT

company ! Yes! Yes! I know that you will like Steve!! " Cherry said sounding giddy.

"Aren't you supposed to be working Miss Mendez?!" an authoritative voice asked.

Both she and Cherry looked up and saw Nick's angry face. She stopped herself from rolling her eyes.

Monster boss strikes again. She just went back drawing. It's better for her to just ignore him.

"Sorry sir. I was just having a 5-minute break." She heard Cherry say to him as she pulled the chair

back to her own table.

"Miss Ledesma! Gather your things! We'll go to one of my auto-detailing shops and the new site where

they are constructing a new building! You will make the ad designs for them! I'll wait for you at the

basement parking. Hurry up!" he ordered as he heads to the door.

She started organizing her things as soon as Nick's back disappeared.

"Oh my God Stacey! You are really special! This is the first time sir PTEF will do such a thing!" Cherry

giddily whispered but loud enough for her to hear.

"Do what?" she asked the secretary before getting her backpack to put the stuff she needs. She is

ready to go.

But Cherry hurriedly walked to her and stopped her from following Nick by her hand on her forearm.

She leaned closer to her and said, " FYI, sir PTEF never goes to his shops or siteswith the graphic

designer . He just orders the company driver to bring her or him there. And now he is going with you?!

Tsk! Well actually I am not surprised because like sir Billy, sir Nick probably finds you very very pretty!

And you may not be his woman as you said which I still doubt, but I am sure you will be a couple really

soon! You are perfect for each other! "

She rolled her eyes at her and said, " Cherry your imagination is getting wild. He is my sister's

boyfriend that's probably the reason why he will go with me today. It is going to be easier for both of us

if he can explain to me what designs he likes in detail as I check the places. He doesn't want my sister

to think that he is giving me a hard time at work. That's all! I have to leave now . Talk to you later."

She went out of the elevator and saw a white BMW 435i Gran Coupe which is parked a few meters

away. The chauffeur saw her then approached her to get her backpack .

"Thanks but it's okay. This is just very light. " she told him with a small smile.

"My name is Norman mam. Let me take it. " the driver who is probably in his 40s insisted so she had no

choice but to give her bag to him.

"This way mam." he politely said as he led her to the car.

"Please just call me Stacey. " she said with a smile. Norman smiled back and bowed his head before

he opened the back door for her.

Her forehead creased when she saw Nick . He just looked at her but didn't say anything when she got

in. She is grateful that at least he doesn't seem to be in a foul mood though he has a serious

expression. She almost flinched when he leaned forward to her.

"Buckle up!" He reached for her seat belt and fastened it.

She stopped herself from raising one of her brows. She is not used to him acting like a gentleman. She

just said thank you before turning her head to look out the window. She wants to hide her expression

from him. She felt a tingling sensation when his hand accidentally touched her lap when he adjusted

her seat belt. She told herself that she was just surprised by his chivalry. It was really unexpected.

During the drive, he told her about his businesses and shops and the designs he wants for each of

them. Now it is fully sinking in. Mr. Grumpy is filthy rich. Heather will really not let him go. She felt a little

pain somewhere in her heart when she thought about that. She bit her bottom lip. She has to be honest

to herself at least. She finds PTEF very attractive.

He is not the man for me. I should just stick to Derick. Anyway I already feel something for him. But I

should be extra careful. Nick Alcantara is dangerously attractive and from the looks of it, can be very

persuasive. I shouldn't forget that he is Heather's boyfriend. She thought.

She discovered that when it comes to work, Nick is really serious. They went to his biggest auto-

detailing shops and one new site for his other businesses . His auto-detailing shop itself seems to be

really successful and she has a feeling that his other businesses are also doing very well. They spent

the whole morning going around. Nick is really loaded and with his money and status, she is curious

why he doesn't have a bodyguard. She will ask Cherry about that later.

It was almost 1 PM when they were finally done.

Like earlier, he fastened her seat belt. She tried to stop herself from feeling anything when his hand

came in contact with her arm.

"Where do you want to eat lunch? Choose a restaurant. '" he suddenly asked after he straightened his

back .

She felt stupid just staring at him because of his unexpected question. He is also looking at her. She

lowered her eyes to her hands on her lap. She can't hold the stare. She didn't see that Nick's brows

knitted when his eyes went to her hands. She is not wearing the bracelet from Derick.

"I'll just eat at the office." she murmured without looking at him.

"Okay. I'll call delivery. " she heard him say.

She bit her bottom lip when she heard what he ordered. She wonders if he eats ordinary food. With his

money, he can dine at the finest restaurants or hotels anytime.

***

"This day is really full of surprises! A lot of firsts happened since this morning! Do you know that our

yummy boss had never eaten lunch with us until now?! And the food! Oh my God! It's my first time to

taste such wonderful dishes! I don't even know most of them!" Cherry said with a giggle.

She hid her disappointment with a small smile. She thought Nick ordered food for the two of them and

they will eat together in his private office. But they had lunch in the office's big pantry. He ordered a lot

of Mediterranean food. They ate with all of his staff. Another thing she discovered about him is he is a

very generous boss. The large pantry is loaded with food and the staff can help themselves to the

snacks and beverages.

And according to Cherry, Nick's family owns the ten-story building. Two floors are used by Nick. In total,

he has 25 staff including her. Since he just left to meet a client, Stacey is more relaxed. She feels on

the edge when she knows he is in the office.

"Our boss is really very rich. He has almost everything. No wonder the number of the PTEF members

is increasing! " Cherry said with a heavy sigh.

She remembered to ask her why Nick doesn't have bodyguards.

"He doesn't need one. I know he has a black belt in judo or karate . And he said since he doesn't do

any illegal dealings, he need not worry about anything. Besides he can defend himself from anyone,

anytime , anywhere." Cherry explained.

It was her turn to sigh. She is discovering so many good things about Nick. He is really a good catch.

He has bad points but nobody's perfect anyway. Heather is really lucky. She scolded herself for having

such thoughts.

She just focused on doing her tasks the rest of the afternoon. She is not sure though if she should feel

happy or a bit disappointed when Nick didn't go back to the office. She looked at the clock. 5 PM.

Cherry happily told her she will go ahead because she has a date. She just nodded. After 10 more

minutes, she decided to go home with a heavy feeling.

She was surprised to see Blake standing next to his Honda CBR1000RR with his arms across his

chest. She remembered Derick with his cruiser. But unlike Derick, Blake is not wearing leather jacket.

He has a black sweater on with black jeans. He looks hot. He straightened when he saw her car.

She opened her car's window. She smiled at him.

"Miss Hotness!" he smiled back at her.

"Why are you here? Let's go inside the house. " she suggested.

"Your mom left a few minutes ago with her friends. She told me to wait for you inside but I said I'll just

wait here. Actually I want to invite you. Miss Hotness, will you have dinner with me?" he asked with that

wonderful smile of his.

She moistened her lips. She checked the time. Nick said that she is not supposed to go out at night but

it's still early. It's only 6 PM. And she feels that there's nothing wrong if she dines out with Blake. She is

not bar-hopping or partying. And in case of Derick, Blake is a friend so she is not also going against his

will. She will just eat dinner with a friend.

She finally nodded at him and his smile widened. "I'll just get the car in the garage." she told him.

***

She almost covered her ears when Amy , after closing the big gate came to her excitedly.

"Miss pretty!! And who is that very good-looking guy outside? I am so jealous! You have all these

handsome men around you! Sir Tyler , Sir Nick and that one out there!"

"Shhh! Keep it low Amy! He might hear you. That's Blake. Eve's cousin. " she told the help before

glancing at Blake who is patiently waiting outside.

"Oh! He was the one on the phone the other day. Well he is hot too! But in my opinion Miss Pretty, sir

Nick is hotter! He looked so good even when almost half of his face was covered with a wound

dressing . He's not only hot it seems that he is very rich too! I like him more for you Miss Pretty! You

look perfect together! A match made in heaven indeed!" Amy said with a wink.

"Stop saying that Amy! He is Heather's boyfriend. Close the door as soon as I got out. " she told her as

she walks to go outside.

"Hold on Miss Pretty!!" Amy stopped her with her hand on her wrist." I don't think they are a couple. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Last time he was here, I saw that it was your sister who almost threw herself at him. Sir Nick didn't

seem to like it! He also left a minutes after you and sir Tyler left the house. " Amy revealed which made

her frown.

That seems unlikely but coming from Amy, it could be true. She chose not to comment to what she said

instead, she just got out of the garage to go to Blake.

"Let's go Miss Hotness. " Blake said with a grin and she just nodded. "This is Eve's. Wear this. " he said

before gently putting the pink helmet on her.

(Nick)

He is in a bad mood because he wasn't able to go back to his office to see Stacey before the end of the

office hours. He wanted to see her so he planned to go to her house and ask her out for dinner. He can

make an excuse that it's about work. He just needs to be with her. But he had to go home first after his

meeting with his client to change into a more casual wear. He also changed his car minus his driver. He

is pissed with himself. He should have called or messaged her first because if he did, she won't be

doing this.

"Fucking hell!" he angrily muttered.

She is on the back of a big bike with her hands on the shoulder of an assh*le. He banged his fists on

the steering wheel. His breathing became ragged as he tried hard to control his fury. He will follow them

and he will deal with the d*ckhead Stacey is with.
