"Diego, do you think my sister will come? Do you think something has happened to her? Oh God..Do you think we should call her. Or is she just throwing a tantrum because you didn't pick up her calls the whole day" Astrid asked, her voice laced with fake concern.
"Don't worry, your sister will surely come because she knows I'm about to announce her as my fiancée," Diego replied, smirking.
Just then, a black sedan car pulled in front. Damien stepped out of the car, drawing attention from the crowd. As a renowned actor in the entertainment industry, he was nicknamed "Adonis" by his fans.
"What do you think our Adonis will be walking with on the red carpet?" one reporter asked another.
"I think he'll be with Miss Katz today," the other replied.
"No, I don't think so," a third reporter chimed in. "I'm sure he'll be with Miss Anderson, our number one Greek Goddess."
The reporters began to bet on who Damien's companion would be. Just then, Damien stretched out his hand to someone in the car. Esmery extended her fair, milky hand towards Damien and stepped out of the car, revealing her stunning legs.
The crowd gasped in awe. "Wow, that's our goddess!" one reporter screamed with delight.
Esmery's captivating smile left the crowd breathless. "How can a human be so beautiful?" someone exclaimed loudly.
A reporter approached Esmery, microphone in hand. "Miss Anderson, what do you think about your CEO organizing this party to thank all CEOs and employees?"
Diego and Astrid exchanged whispers in the crowd. "Diego, what do you think your sister will say?" Astrid asked.
Diego smiled proudly. "Since she loves me so much, she'll say something good to improve my name and status. You know how much she is obsessed with me. And coupled with the fact that, I'm announcing her, she'll make sure to make a favorite talk"
Esmery, however, lived up to their plans. With a radiant smile, she began to speak. "I think our CEO is the most handsome and kind person I've ever seen. He takes care of his employees as his own family and holds the company on firm ground. Honestly, he is a good CEO. HW doesn't act like other bosses I've heard about. He is really the best. "
Diego's face lit up with pride. "See, I told you she'd say something great!" he exclaimed to Astrid, taking large strides towards Esmery.
Esmery finished her interview with the reporter and turned to see Diego standing behind her. "Hello, Esmery," he greeted, his eyes scanning her stunning appearance.
Diego couldn't help but notice how beautiful and sexy Esmery looked that evening. During their relationship, she had often worn casual jeans, and he had never realized how sexy she could be. Just looking at her made his dick twitch in his pants. He has been convincing Esmery to give him a kiss but she never did because she was waiting for the day he'd be in an official relationship with her. One that, they didn't have to hide. Unfortunately, that can't happen but Diego knew he could convince Esmery. And if that didn't work, there was something called Viagra for a reason.
Esmery's response to Diego's greeting was a clip and professional "Hi, CEO," accompanied by a perfect smile and a handshake. The touch of their hands sent a shiver down Diego's spine, but he quickly composed himself.
This was the first time Esmery had used a professional tone with him. Previously, she had always called him Diego in a playful, sexy tone. He didn't know why she was behaving as if she didn't know him. Esmery had always been a people pleaser. And Diego knew she'll do anything for him. But, looking at Esmery's behaviour today he dismissed it as a tantrum.
After all, he knew that once he announced Astrid as his fiancée, Esmery would beg him to reconsider. She will even go as far as crawling in a pathetic way. Astrid, sensing Diego's gaze lingering on Esmery, clenched her fists in anger. Esmery was nothing but a hindrance. Even without her paying attention, she was already drawing one to herself. Diego was and will always be a horn dog. And that is exactly what brought her where she is today. She can't allow all her hard work to go down the drain.
She can't let Esmery win again. She was destined to rule over Emsery. Have her under her thumb. And that is exactly what will happen. Astrid took a deep breath and calmed herself down.
Diego quickly withdrew his hand from Esmery's and walked away proudly. Esmery looked surprised by his sudden departure and arrogance.
Damien returned with a bottle of water and handed it to Esmery. "What's wrong?" he asked, noticing her expression.
Esmery smirked. "I think he has a mental ancestor, so he inherited the genes." Damien chuckled and asked, "Why get you so mad that you're even cursing their ancestors?"
Esmery laughed. "Who else could it be apart from that bastard?" Damien, an avid Esmery supporter, burst into laughter, drawing the attention of Diego and Astrid.
Diego turned to Astrid and asked, "What do you think Damien said to make Esmery laugh like that?" Astrid's clenched fists betrayed her growing unease.
