Chapter 2 - SLOW

THIRD POV.

Nicholas Armando was every girl's dream man. He liked to believe that about himself and technically it was true cause he had yet to meet a woman that didn't want him.

As the company door opened hebwas greeted by the security guard but he was too much in his head to even answer the man.

Coming to the company was like a routine to him. He couldn't remember a time where he wasn't reminded every single day on how he had to take over the family business . From a young age he had known that he didn't have any dreams. He was meant to live the life that his father wanted for him and he couldn't really couldn't complain because it was a good life .

He had the dream life ,the perfect fiancee the best condo in the city but it still wasn't enough. He couldn't stop thinking about her .

Svetlana.

She was stuck in his head and all he could think about . He needed to stop thinking about her and focus on something else but how could he . How coukd he forget a woman that he had watched gir over six months . Knew where all the crevices in her body were .

He k ew the sound of her heels clicking on the floors and didn't have to turn to k ow when it was her but she didn't know that .

She didn't know how angry he woukd get everytime he saw a man touch her . She was his property .

He hated everytime a man made her laugh but always convinced herself that she was doing it fir the money and the guy was not even that funny to begin with.

He didn't care if they were funny though . They coukd not be able to give her the things that he could give her. He could give her he world if she was . He would go to the ends of the earth to always make sure he saw her beautiful smile and her chuckle .

"Hey Amanda good morning ",he greeted his secretary as she handed him a cup of coffee .

"Good morning Mr Armando ",she said as she took the files on her desk and followed him to his office .

"I believe i have a meeting with the board of directors today ,is there anything else on my schedule that I have no idea about ?",he asked her as he sipped his coffee and he could feel his soul come back to life .

"Yes ,you have a meeting with Mr Gonzalez he said it was important so I scheduled him for the afternoon ",she said as she placed the files on his desk .

"Okay then ",he said as his attention went to the files on his desk that needed approval .

"Is there anything else you'd like me to do for you ?",she asked him as she got ready to leave .

"Actually yes ,I'd like for you to run an errand for me . Use my card i need you to go buy a present i need a pink rolex or whatever colour I really don't know what women like just get something that she will like ",he said as he dismissed her .

He hadn't lied though he didn't know what women liked . He ha never gone to a florist to even buy a bouquet just always sent his assistants who seemed to make the right choice each time.

The board room was filled with chatter as they all waited Nick to make an appearance. The room went silent the moment he opened the door . The all stared at him and waited . He knew how much they believed in him and he never wanted them to think he didn't know what he was doing managing the business .

"Good Morning I hope your morning are as good as mine ",he side to lighten up the room but didn't receive that much chuckles from people .

"Anyway the first quarter of the year is almost coming to an end and I'd like us to see the progress of our newest project and see if its doing okay . This quarter our winery business is doing good and sales have increased both locally and internationally. My plan is to ship it to some of our clubs to see how it does . I didn't think this was a good idea when we first started because I wanted people to knlw the wine you know taste it before I shove it in their faces . Our other bottles are better they have increased overall sales in 17% which is a great increase in such a short period of time ",he said as the shareholders flipped through the pages of the reports they had infront of him.

One thing they would never accuse Nick of is not taking his job seriously .

"How do you plan on bringing this new wine collection to our market because they are quite soffisticated and need the best of the best things ?",asked Paulo who was one of the board members .

"I have a plan for that already and all our products are hugh quality. I'd never make something that is meant for people who don't meet our club requirements ",he said looking at them waiting for any more questions.

"I have another meeting so if yall done have any more questions I think that will be all for today ",he said as he smiled at them and exited the room.

He knew his market and everything he was doing. He'd never do something without making sure it was perfect . His father would kill him if he messed up the business and he woukd never allow himself to look like a failure .

How would he fail when he had been given everything . He had done nothing to have the things that he had ad all he needed to do was the best so that he would be better.

He hated that he had to leave in the shadow of his father. Hated that everytime saw him they had to mention how great his father was and all the things that he had achieved. .

It's not that he hated the man he just thiught that he was his own person and deserved ti be addressed without them making his father the most important person in their conversation.

He only wanted to go see Svetlana. He knew she didn't care about flowers she fit the role of a thorn more than that of a rose . He had never met a woman who didn't want to be showered in gifts he might as well take that role and see her smile but it wouldn't kill him to take both . So he left his office smiling ear to ear and still nervous at the same time.

He didn't know why he was nervous though ,no whore would turn down a man who bought her a rolex to wish her an amazing day maybe a slow one.

Svetlana was everything but slow.
