Chapter 35 - Lunch Date

Louise Madison told her assistant to buy her a coffee as she re-touched her make-up.

"Do you have Alessandro's schedule?" She asked her mother, Nancy.

"No." She said. "Moira isn't telling me about his schedules."

"Well, do so!" She demanded. "I have to at least see him. The last time we saw him was an accident and a slut was clinging to him."

"What if that woman you are talking about is her fiancee? I mean, we all know that Tracey De Novo is his fiancee yet they never dated. That woman isn't Tracey De Novo."

"I don't care." She sighed.

Her assistant came with her coffee as she sipped on it.

"I already reserved your favorite restaurant."

"Yes, let me read the scripts first."

They went to the Asian Season Restaurant. To her surprise, she spotted Alessandro on the end spot that had VIP access and he seemed to be talking to someone. They are also surrounded by bodyguards and, oddly, he had lots of bodyguards around him. Alessandro never had a bodyguard for himself. She asked the host about the area close to them. She had one bodyguard with her and who could be the lucky girl that he's dating to have four bodyguards with them?

Louise Madison carefully removed her black shades and peeked at them. Alessandro was smiling at the girl with her back on them. Her heartfelt like it was swollen. The man never smiles at anyone like that. She watched as he reached the girl's hands and brought them to his lips. Her eyes widen, noticing the ring on the girl. It's a wedding ring?

"I think they are married." Her assistant, Bonnie whispered. "Looked at his left hand."

Louise clenched her first as the waiter approached them. Nancy was the one who ordered their food as Louise kept her eyes on Alessandro as Alessandro moved to the woman's seat and they seemed to be kissing.

"I can check out on what the woman looked like," Bonnie said excitedly. Louise glared at her. She didn't get a chance to see the woman yesterday in the cinema. Alessandro was way protective of the woman.

Alessandro had a great lunchtime with his wife. They enjoyed the food in the Asian Season Restaurant. Instead of talking about work, they talked about music or their date plans.

"This weekend, let's go to the places where we used to date." He said. Her eyes shine.

Although she doesn't have memories of their dates, there are still flashes of memories of being with him. The way he kissed her, saying words like 'love' and showing his affection to her. Keira fell in love with the man in front of her and with the boy from her past. She doesn't know why, but her heart seemed to remember him. Even on their first night. Her body remembered him. She wanted to have him again this time. But they have to work again.

"I want to make love to you." She mumbled to him. She took out her phone and checked the calendar. It's her ovulation day. She sighed and pouted at him. "But you need to put a condom on."

"Okay," He nodded and helped her finish the dishes that they ordered. "Your place or mine?" He grinned.

"Yours. It's near here."

Alessandro smirked as they kissed again.

"Drink your juice." He told her.

After their lunch, Keira put her hat and shades on. She noticed Louise Madison who kept looking their way. She frowned but Alessandro pulled her while their bodyguards were escorting them outside.

The car stopped in front of them as they quickly got in. She took out a packet of condoms that she always kept. She doesn't let Alessandro hold a single condom since she's still suspecting him of dating Louise Madison. Although she knows that Ales isn't dating the girl, she still needs to make sure that no one is going to touch him but her.

They take his private elevator and make everyone leave his office. He locked the door and closed the glass windows.

"Quick." She pouted at him.

"Are you near to your red days?" he asked. "You are quite horny these past few days."

"I am." She sighed when she felt his tongue between her legs. She moaned and pointed to the blanket. He placed it under her so they wouldn't mess the sofa.

Alessandro exhaled with a playful smile as he wrapped the condom on tissue and put it on the trash can. She's still lying there in a daze. He took the wet tissue and wiped her off and gently put back her sexy underwear.

"You are a monster." She told as he laughed. He has to cover her mouth from screaming or else, everyone will hear them outside his office. He started kissing her face down to her chest. "I'm gonna go now. I have a meeting at one-thirty." She glanced at the clock and cursed. "Now I only had ten minutes." She sat up and pushed him. "Bye, bye." She took her purse and fixed her dress. He stood and kissed her forehead.

"I'll see you later,"

She winked and kissed his cheek as she entered the elevator. Alessandro checked the cameras from the private elevator to the parking lot as her bodyguards accompanied her. He smiled and turned on the humidifier, then he opened the blinds. He went to the bathroom and cleaned up before going to the meeting.

"Sir, the film that you invested in had another investor. It's higher than your investment." Emerald said as he entered his room. He thought for a while.

"How much did this person invest?"

"Two million sir."

He nodded.

"Would you like to see the first clips? The director will be sending it to us. Or do you want to go to the production area?"

"I think my wife is going to go there to see it by herself." He told him. "Well, you can visit it and tell me what you see."

"Yes, sir."

"We can pull out anytime if this didn't sell much." He said casually.

"Yes, sir."

Keira frowned at the little assistant who was trying to get into her face. She's sure that it's Louise Madison but she has to wait before she sees the President of the Golden Age. She rolled her eyes and exhaled. She has to let it go this time, again. She was listening to the discussion online without showing her face to the people. But she could see them well.

"Are you saying that we should let an A-list singer have the role?" Keira asked the Music Department.

"It'll be a good~~"

"As I saw her acting in a few movies, I am not satisfied."

"President, our ratings are going to rise more if we let her be the leading actress."

"Okay," She shrugged. "But make sure that her acting skills will meet the director's standard. We can't get embarrassed even in front of the director that once had been a partner of the former President. I am talking about Del Carlo, not Jeremy." She said directly.

"Yes, President." She crossed her arms as the discussion went on.

Keira also invested in the production film. She can pull out anytime if she wasn't satisfied with the first film. So, she contacted the director with regards to it. Keira received her own money from her father's inheritance that costs one billion and another four million dollars from Alessandro. She somehow started spending the money. And put two million pesos in the production. Alessandro didn't know about it, but she's now the highest investor in the movie.

The meeting ended and she went to her walk-in closet in the office and changed her clothes into something casual with a cap on. She signed her secretary.

"Call me if there's an emergency."

"Yes, ma'am."

She went to the private parking lot to the production of the movie. They let her in, telling them that she's one of the staff. She was told to bring this and bring that as her bodyguards keep an eye on her while she's going undercover. The first scene was Louise and the leading man. It's a fantasy movie and it seemed like from the start, Louise didn't know her line and she apologized.

The director let it slide as they go on again and again. The director looked pissed as she finally got it. But they considered it. It's a waste of time and then, the second lead gets in and it was flawless like others that even the leading man got along with it.

"Cut!" The director said. "Good." He didn't say anything about Louise, he's just annoyed but since he considered that Alessandro was the investor, he became soft a little bit toward the woman.

Keira hid in the background as she crossed her arms and thought of a plan. Should she increase her investment and get rid of Louise? In the very first, she should have memorized it, and practice every emotion of the character in the script. But everything went disaster. This will be a waste of investment. She knew it. Sarah Gray was more suitable for the character.

"Let's go." She mumbled to her bodyguards.
