Chapter 23

• I had gotten to Manuel Russo's office half an hour later, but was suprised to see that his personal assistant wasn't on seat. Pheeww! She was supposed to be the one to let me into his office. Having no other choice after waiting for 5 minutes without her showing up, I knocked on the door but got no response. I thought I could hear some sounds insides, or was I hearing wrongly? After giving another knock, I opened the door and scanned the entire place until my eyes landed on what I really shouldn't have seen. There he was, with a half naked lady atop his thighs as they passionately made out with each other. He pulled away from her the moment he noticed my presence, our eyes locking with each other's. Of all times, my legs decided to fail me then. I stumbled backwards, almost falling to the ground in the process. I was really grateful for the door behind me, that did a perfect job of waging me.
• "I'm sorry!" I rushed out, quickly regaining my composure and literally running out of his office. Immediately I closed the door behind me, I turned around to see none other than the lady who had been missing moments ago.
• "Julia." I muttered. "Good morning."
