100 Days With Mr Romero

“You mean you are going to Emma for a transaction? ” Judy asked.

Gidoen nodded.

“Oh come on Gideon. That woman is after you. ” argued Judy.

“She will kick you out I bet. ” she added.

“I might as well try. ” maintained Gideon.

Judy left his office angrily. What on earth could she do at the moment to stop them from meeting? she thought.

Back in his office, Gideon was pondering. If he goes to Emma’s office, she might shut him out? he thought. Since she was after his downfall lately, he was sure she wouldn’t assist him yet he still felt the need to try.

He got up quickly from his chair, alerted his driver and they were soon on their way to her office. As he sat parallel the car, he kept dismissing the thought that was seducing him to go back. If he doesn’t prove to the museum management that he could handle the deal, he might never be contacted again and after all the loses he was making lately, he needed this deal to click.

“We are here sir. ” his driver announced parking the car outside the building.

“You can wait here for me. ” he told the driver and stepped out.

He went inside the building, introduced himself as Gideon Romero and was linked up with Emma’s secretary.

“She will call you in soonest. ” said the young secretary of about twenty years.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

Gideon had told her to let Emma know that he was there to see her urgently. While he sat on the comfortable sofa close to the secetary outside waiting for Emma to invite him in, Gideon’s heartbeat quickened and he was beginning to sweat. He wasn’t sure whether he was anxious or scared.

When Emma’s secretary informed her that Mr. Gideon Romero had come to see her, she immediately dropped the pen she was holding.

“Why? ” she asked the secretary who had no idea why he was there.

“I’ll tell you when to let him in. ” Emma said and dismissed the secretary.

What could Gideon be doing here? Emma thought. Then, the secretary’s telephone rang.

“Hello. ” responded the secretary.

“Ok Ma’am. ” she said and turned to Gideon.

“You can go in sir. ” she told him and Gideon immediately stood up, heaved a deep sigh and pushed Emma’s door open after knocking slightly.

“Hello. ” Gideon said after walking in.

“Seat. ” she replied pointing to the two vacant chairs opposite her.

Gideon quickly sat on one.

“I heard you needed to see me urgently Mr. Romero. ” began Emma while crossing her legs.

Gideon’s eyes drifted to her barely covered thighs and when he tilted his gaze upward, her bossoms were before him.

“Mr. Romero? ” she said after noticing how lost Gideon was.

“Yes Sorry. ” he said staring at the floor.

Emma was smiling and when he lifted up his head, she instantly stopped smiling.

“I’m here for a business transaction. ” Gideon stated.

“Tell me about it. ” Emma replied.

While seating put in her chair, she was fighting to pretend that she was tensed.

“My bad. What can I offer you? ” she aksed him.

“No I’m fine. ” he said.

“The business transaction. ” he continued.

“Yes yes. ” responded Emma.

“I need forty bottles of Roaming dog urgently. ” Gideon said.

Emma could sense the tension in his eyes.

“I know you wouldn’t want to help but I need to make this delivery Emma. ” pleaded Gideon.

“I’m sorry but please can you help me? ” he asked her and immediately lowered his head.

“I’m a business woman Mr. Romero. ” Emma said placing both hands on the table.

Gideon was staring directly at her chest and he could see the line that separated her breast.

Focus Gideon. he told himself in his mind.

“You are buying the wines aren’t you? ” she asked him.

“Yes of course. ” Gideon replied nodding.

“Then I’ll sell them to you. ” she said violating Gideon’s expectation.

“You could have just made the transaction with my management. You didn’t have to come here. ” she said fondling the tip of her pen.

“I felt maybe you wouldn’t permit the transaction if you knew it was from ROMERO’S that’s why I came myself ” confessed Gideon.

“I’m after the numbers Gideon. ” Said Emma.

“I don’t care who I’m dealing with as long as I get my money. ” she stated.

“I don’t care about your company. ” she blurted.

Gideon nodded and asked her

“Do you care about me? ”

He was looking into her eyes and she couldn’t take her’s off him. There eyes were locked in one another’s and Emma felt the sudden desire to pull him closer and kiss him.

“I don’t care about you either Mr. Romero. ” she lied and Gideon’s heart leapt in agony.

She could sense how broken he was after she declared her lack of care towards him.

“I thought you came for business. ” she reminded him and he nodded.

“Fine. Meet my marketing department and get the products. They’ll handle the transaction with you. ” she said staring at her door.

“Thank you so much Emma. Thank you for saving my reputation. ” Gideon thanked her.

“I didn’t do anything special Mr. Romero. We had a fair deal. You get your wine, I get my money. ” she explained.

“Thanks once again. ” Gideon said while standing up.

“I’ll leave now. ” he said then walked out of the office.

Emma shut her eyes and heaved a deep sigh.

Gideon went straight to the financial department and made the transaction. His transfer van will be sent to pick the wines he told them after leaving.

Back in the office, Judy was hoping that Emma will kick Gideon out and deny him acess to the wines so he could finally see how bitter she was towards him.

Judy felt if Emma maltreats Gideon, it will make him hate her and as far as she is concerned, that is all she ever wanted.

“Good afternoon Mr. Romero .” Judy heard someone greeting Gideon. She rushed out of her office.

“Where is Martins? ” Gideon asked the janitor who greeted him.

“I need him to take the van and pick forty bottles of wine from LIA’S right now. ” ordered Gideon.

Judy stood still in complete shock.
