Tales Of Love

Santiago was not angry at all. He stared at Aurora. He had come to take her out for lunch and then talk things over with her.

Others out there might regard him as an arrogant type. But to Aurora, he’ll throw his pride into the wastebin. They needed to talk and clarify some issues and then apologize to her.

“We need to talk, Aurora. But first, I’ve come to take you out for lunch” Santiago said.

Aurora gave a smirk. He wanted to take her out for lunch. Had he forgotten he called her a play thing in the past. Her mother had promised to come see how she’s settled into her position being her first day in office.

Even if her mother was not coming, she wasn’t going to go out with him. “President Axel, aren’t you ashamed to go out with me? You are a rich handsome man who should be in the company of the rich beauties like Eve Diego, Janet Wood and the likes? How can you condescend so low to have lunch with your ex-play thing?” Aurora inquired.

Santiago was speechless.

Aurora was still hurting over what he said about her. He said those words from his lips but not from his heart. He deliberately wanted to hurt her back then. Now, those irrational words he spoke were going to act as a barrier for him to get Aurora back.

He stood up and walked towards Aurora’s desk. Aurora was head bent and seemed immersed in her work but in reality she was observing Santiago’s approach from her split vision.

Santiago raised Aurora’s chin and made her face him. Before Santiago could say anything, Aurora threw his hand off like a filth.

She flared up and pointed her index finger at him “How dare you touch me with those filthy fingers of yours? Have you Suddenly lost your manners? What audacity? You must be mistaken if you think I am still the old naive girl who stays by your side to help satisfy your sexual demands?”

She sneered before continuing “I think you have overstayed your welcome. Use the door” Aurora snapped at him angrily. She pointed at the door . How dare he touch her?

Santiago stood glued to the spot. He had never seen Aurora with this kind of temper. He had thought she resented him but didn’t know she hated him this much. No one had ever spoken to him so rudely before.

He sighed and asked “did you hate me this…” but Aurora interrupted him. This time, her voice was raised. If the office was not sound proofed, the secretaries would definitely have heard.

“Get out! Or do I need to call the securities?” Aurora yelled at him.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

Santiago was not going to be intimidated by Aurora’s threat. He just stood and stared at Aurora. She really looked upset at him. But he didn’t blame her for her rudeness. Anyone in her shoes would do exactly or worse to the person who said horrible words about them.

Aurora pressed a button by the side of her desk and soon one of the secretaries came in. “Look at this man, when next you see him in this company, just call the securities to throw him out” Aurora instructed the secretary at the same time eyeing Santiago.

Santiago felt humiliated as soon as Aurora finished instructing her secretary. He had gotten to the climax of his tolerance. He was still the Santiago Axel of the Axel group.

He looked at Aurora disapprovingly before going towards the door. But before touching the knob, the door was opened from without.

Santiago came face to face with Mia Rowan, Aurora’s mother. Behind her were Ralia and the twin. Santiago’s eyes swept past Mia and rested on his kids.

The kids snuggled past Mia and Santiago and ran to their mother “mummy, mummy” each calling out their mother and giving her a hug.

Santiago turned to look at the lovely kids and saw Aurora squat to give them a hug. Santiago’s heart longed to have them call him daddy soon and hug him as they did to Aurora.

The secretary simply walked out while Mia came in and shut the door behind her. She already knew that her daughter and President Axel must have engaged in a heated argument. The atmosphere seemed tense.

Finally Santiago looked at Mia Rowan ” Hello Aunt” he greeted with a slight bow. Mia Rowan smiled at him and offered her hand for a shake. “good to see you again President Axel”.

“Mummy, I brought you snacks. Sam brought you a cake baked by great grandma” Samantha said and tucked at Ralia to open the lunch pack.

Santiago’s attention drifted to the kids again. Mia saw his eyes and knew he had a longing in his heart .

“When do you intend to introduce me to the kids as their father?” Santiago asked with a cold expression, unable to restrain his eagerness to be with his kids.

Aurora paused and looked at him. She knew he was still there but chose to ignore him. She knitted her brow and shot him a menacing stare.
