Valentina took a deep breath as Xavier said to her 'I miss you'.

"Xavier...

" Xavier cut off Valentina in a mid-sentence.

"Val... I want to meet you!

" Xavier said on the call.

"Xavier, I guess... It would be good if we don't meet...

" Xavier cut off Valentina in mid-sentence.

"No, Val... You can't tell that... Did you forget about our love so soon?

" Xavier asked.

"Xavier, did you forget that you are married? The whole world knows that you are married...

" Valentina said.

"I don't care... I really don't care, Val... I will figure out something... Let me talk to you... Please... I want to explain to you so much... Wouldn't it be good if you listen to my side of the story than just knowing about only one side of the story?

" Xavier asked.

"Xavier, I don't think you have anything to explain to me... Because if you have anything to explain to me... Then you would have told me everything before already! You won't wait till now...

" Valentina answered.

"No... There are so many things you should know... You don't know anything still... You should know a lot about the people around you... But it's just not time to know about people around you... But listen to me at least... Please... Only one chance... You were to fight for my love after I got married but... You gave up on me... I don't have any idea why... Well... You didn't tell me at least, you are giving up on me... But I get to see that in your eyes but at the same time, I also saw the love in your eyes for me.

" Xavier said making Valentina take a deep breath.

"I wish you didn't reveal about your marriage... I would have still been with you...

" Valentina replied.

"It's not iy fault...

" Xavier said.

"Whoever it is... It's revealed at last, Xavier... Do you think, I will believe if you say that you don't know about revealing about your marriage? I even accepted you to go om a honeymoon with your wife... Why? Why do you think I did that? Why?

" Valentina asked.

"I know... You trust me...

" Xavier answered.

"But... What did you do then?

" Valentina asked making Xavier's eyes teary at the other side.

"I broke your trust in me...

" Xavier answered.

"No... You broke me... You broke my heart! You broke our 9 years of love... You broke everything! There is no value for our love right now!

" Valentina said

"No... There is... I still love you!

" Xavier replied.

"Wish I could tell you the same...

" Valentina said.

"Val... I am really sorry... I really don't know that Dad will reveal about my marriage without telling me...

" Xavier replied.

"Do you think, I will believe it?

" Valentina asked.

"You need too and you should.

" Xavier answered making Valentina chuckle.

"I don't know... I am really not at all understanding who to believe and who do not!

" Valentina replied.

"Val... Trust me... There are so many things you need to know about... It just not now... But one day, there will be a time you will get to know about everything... And then... There are chances you will hate me too!

" Xavier said making Valentina frown.

"Xavier... I have a meeting in a few minutes... I just don't want to mess up my mind... You will not say what is holding you behind... Neither you will tell me what is wrong with you... And neither you will tell me why did you marry Rose... You will not tell me anything... So, I just... It would be good if we end our talk here...

" Valentina replied.

"No... No, Val... Please only once... Just listen to me once... Please...

" Xavier said making Valentina take a deep breath.

"Alright... Come to my home tonight. Let's talk...

" Valentina replied making Xavier sigh.

"Thank you so much!

" Xavier said making Valentina take a deep breath.

"See you...

" Valentina said.

"See you, love.

" Xavier replied making Valentina's heartbeat race.

Valentina ended the call as her heartbeat so fast and held her head in her face sighing.

Just then, her door bust opened. Valentina looked up and saw an angry Rose.

Valentina raises her eyebrows at her seeing Rose.

"How the hell you walked inside?

" Valentina asked as she got up from the chair.

"I am really so sorry, Ms. Jackson. This lady isn't listening to me at all... I tried my best to stop her... But she isn't at all stops and is talking so rudely!

" Tania said as she ran behind inside her office.

Valentina sighed seeing the angry Rose.

"Alright... Leave us alone, Tania.

" Valentina said.

"Are you sure, Ms. Jackson? I can call the security...

" Tania replied making Rose angrier.

"Who the hell you think I am? You... The mere employe kick me out with security?

" Rose asked.

"Excuse me, Mrs. Avalanzo... I don't care whoever you are... If you walk inside like this without listening to anyone and talking so rudely without any respect then I should obviously call security... This is not your company neither I work under you! So, you better change your attitude... If not, I can kick you out of this company easily!

" Tania said and anger can clearly see in her voice but she tried her best to be polite.

"How dare you?

" Rose shouted as she raised her hand to slap Tania but Tania held her wrist even before Valentina could stop her.

Valentina smiled as Tania held her wrist and didn't let herself down in front of Rose... Valentina was so proud of Tania when she pushed away Rose's hand.

"You don't have any right to raise your hand on me... If you are trying to slap me... Then I can too... I don't care if you are an Avalanzo of Morton... You. Just. Don't. Have. Any. Fucking. Right. On. Me. I don't at all work under you to take your words or slap from you!

" Tania said making Rose's eyes widened. Rose chuckled seeing Tania's attitude towards her and turned towards Valentina.

"I thought, only you have an attitude but I guess, all your employees have the same attitude as you in your company!

" Rose said to Valentina.

"Well... I chose my employees so perfectly... Because I want them to have self-respect as well as an attitude... Because they should have to know how to take care of people like you in my office!

" Valentina replied making Rose chuckle again.

"Not only you... All your employees are mad...

" Rose said and Valentina shrugged.

"Whatever you think... I don't care... They are my employees and will be like me! And I am so proud of them!

" Valentina replied.

"Unbelievable!

" Rose said making Valentina smirk.

"Just tell me why you are... Or else... You know the way to outside... Or else... My PA is ready to lead you out or she might call security for you!

" Valentina said making Tania chuckle and Rose looked at Tania.

"I want to talk to you in privately...

" Rose said making Valentina nod her head.

"Sure!

" Valentina replied and Rose turned towards Tania.

"I will see later about you!

" Rose said to Tania and she nodded her head with a polite smile.

"I will be waiting!

" Tania replied with a polite smile making Rose anger and she turned towards Valentina.

"If you want anything, then I will be in my office!

" Tania said and Valentina nodded her head. Tania was about to walk out when she turned around to make Valentina remember about the meeting.

"Ms. Jackson... The meeting would be started in 10 more minutes though.

" Tania said.

"Hold it on until I am done talking with her...

" Valentina replied.

"Alright!

" Tania said.

"Wait for a second... Here is the file... You can check it and start the meeting... I will join you soon!

" Valentina said.

"Alright... I will do it!

" Tania replied as she took the file from Valentina and walked out of th office closing the door behind her.

"Alright... Please have a seat, Mrs. Avalanzo!

" Valentina said making Rose growl.

"I am not here to sit with you and have a coffee with you but to talk with you!

" Rose replied making Valentina chuckle.

Valentina walked around the desk and walked towards the couch. She sat down on the couch and looked up at Rose chuckling.

"I never offered you a coffee... And I told you to sit down because you still have a status to have a seat in front of me... But it's alright... If you just want to stand in front of me as you work near you... By standing in front of me...

" Valentina said.

"Hold your tongue, Valentina.

" Rose replied making Valentina smirk.

"You don't have to make me remember that... While you, yourself don't know how to hold your tongue in front of my employees.

" Valentina said making Rose anger.

"Remember, they are nothing in front of me... I can easily make them suffer!

" Rose replied.

"Not when they are under me... They are my employed if you don't remember and I have the whole right on my employees while you don't at all have any!

" Valentina said.
