Chapter 45 - The Mean Vito

Ai Jia is coming to join his boss at the breakfast table with Andrea. Their face has a black line underneath of their eyes.

"Boss, for the plan to proceed, we have a meeting in thirty minutes with the research department to finalise the plan. Do you want to watch the launching live online?" Ai Jia is asking his boss.

"Mr Ai, how about you sit down and have breakfast first? This is breakfast and the most important meal of the day. There is a lot of food on the table," Emma is telling Ai Jia to help her to finish the food when Vito seems does not want to touch the food.

Ai Ji is in contemplation between sit down and eat the food on the table with his boss unhappy expression. He still wants to eat and have his proper meal in the morning. His nostril was already got affected by all the scrumptious meals in front of him.

"Sit and eat!" Vito is telling his assistant to join him at the table. While Andrea is getting his own food from the buffet and ordering some coffee before joining them at the same table.

Max is coming to the table and whispered something to Andrea's ear. He is smiling cunningly to hear the news.

"Boss, your aunty and your uncle are in Alban," Andrea is telling him about the latest news from max.

"We talk about it later not now!" Vito is reprimanding his right hand about their business matter.

"Boss, you are not including me in your work. I am one of your health practitioners and I have the right to be working now," Emma is complaining in front of her husband.

"You are his personal medical doctor and not his wife. What is this arrangement?" Andrea is asking them with amusement for their cosplay.

"It is said by my direct supervisor that I am still working to follow our hospital chairman. So, I am not here because I am in our holiday but working. As one of the workers, I have the right to know everything that can make or endanger his health," Emma is telling them with her confident word while eating his food.

Andrea is laughing to hear about the word of Emma which make his boss facial expression change in front of them. Vito can't believe if his plan to buy the hospital to backlash him. he just wants to control the work environment for his wife so she can't work too tiredly.

"You can't come with him while he is working. He is too mean and cruel when he works. It is better you stay away from him," Andrea is giving her a wise suggestion for stay out of the problem.

"How mean? Is he really scary when working?" Emma is drinking her cappuccino while looking at her expressionless husband on the table who is still busy reading his phone.

"He is really scary. Believe me!" Andrea is making his word which supports by Ai Jia who is nodding to her lady boss to confirm his boss.

"Are you done? I think you need extra work to do," Vito is putting his phone down and look at them with a sharp gaze. They are trying to badmouth their boss in front of him. they really need to be punished.

"You can go to work while I am going to do a little shopping around to kill sometimes. I will only go to the mall next door. Can I?" Emma is wiping her mouth from the coffee foam.

"Yes, with a bodyguard. I will be working in the room and later on, we will be going to bring your grandmother back home," Vito is allowing her to go and opening his wallet to give him some cash and his black credit card.

"I am not going to shop a lot. I just remember that my cousin is getting married, and I am not yet buying some presents for their marriage," Emma is looking at the money and credit card on the table. She is taking it and put it inside her handbag.

Vito is standing up and give her a kiss on her lips before he left for the elevator back to their room. They are going back to their penthouse to see the sudden attack on the middle east as planned.

Emma as a wife makes a detour to the restaurant staff before leaving for the mall. She is going to order a coffee break for his husband and his staff. She also orders some snacks to be with the coffee. It is also for the bodyguards under Max that need their coffee break.

When she has finished everything, she is going into the mall, and she is going around the whole mall. Emma is feeling small to see this grand shopping mall. She feels tired after going around when someone bumps into her.

They are a bunch of women with really expensive clothes and appearance bump into her petite body. Emma might look plain with her dress which is designed by the house of Christian Dior for their spring collection. Her shoes also come from the same designer.

"Hey, you. Can you actually look at us? I think your eyes behind your eye," one of the women starts to bully Emma. However, Emma told her bodyguard to stay back and not react to their provocation.

"Sorry. I have to get going now," Emma is not making any fuss about their accusation. It is them starting all this bump because they were preoccupied with their small talk.

"Hey, you. Look at my expensive bag. Who is going to pay for this dirty bag?" Celina is grabbing Emma arm to stop her from leaving them. The bodyguard tries to stop them but gets stopped by them.

"Yes. What can I do again? You drop the bag by yourself, and you blame me for your expensive bag getting dirty," Emma is trying to get her arm off from Celine's grasp. Celine's nail is already going inside into her bare skin.

"You do not have any remorse at all. you have to reimburse me for this dirty bag to get clean," Cecile is starting to bully her.

Emma is not blind about the branded bags when she practically gets trained since a small girl with all the designer brands. The bag is not the real deal, and she is getting angry over the fake products.

"Okay, what do you want me to do?" Emma is looking at her with her sharp and intimidating eyes. this kind of child play was Lin Yan's trick when she was only six years old. she knows this kind of play by the back of her hand.

"You have to reimburse me for the cleaning fee and fixing the bag," Celine is demanding about the whole fixing bag.

"Fine," Emma is agreeing with her request. Apparently, Celine is happy because she will get a new bag because this bag broke in reality and God already is by her side. the lady at the counter will actually find this bag is irreparable and she will ask her to pay the warrantee payment. Celine is so happy with the outcome of the accident.

They are going into the store of Hermes on the ground floor where the security guards open the door for all of them. They are entering the boutique to find one of the store persons.

Celine starts to rant and explain the whole scenario to her bag when Emma is busy with her phone in the nearby lounge.

Celine feels superior and pushes the store person to give her a new bag to replace the old bag. All her friend tries to act like a rich person in this place.

Emma is getting interested in one of the outfits on the shelves for her husband. it is the newest shirt from the summer collection. The Twin shirt looks really good on his husband body. However, one of Celine's friends told her to stop mocking around.

"You need to stop browsing around when your ability to pay enough only for repairing my friend bag," She is mocking Emma for her appearance.

"I am not doing anything. I just window shopping for the clothes for my husband," Emma is answering her naively. She did not refute their bullying and play around with them.

"You have made the clothes on the shelf dirty. You need to watch for your action before you lost more money. I really do not know what is in your mind by offending a person like us," She keeps ranting toward Emma who is accepting all of her rants.

Emma is going back to her seat and waiting for the store person to do the check of Celine bags. She is using her gloves and empties the bag from its content. Celine is really happy and putting her thing into the small bag given by the store person to store her belonging.

The store person even brings her bag into the back office to check for the damage.
