His Lovely Obsession novel Chapter 34

(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.
