50

The next morning Thiago was already awake and standing in the kitchen making coffee.

I got up and walked over to him. I wrapped my arms around his body from behind so that my chest pressed against his back and gently kissed his shoulder blade.

It was Monday morning. "You know what to do today?" He asked me seriously rather than turning to me and kissing my forehead. I nodded "pretend nothing ever happened" I said quietly. "Exactly" he said and handed me a cup of coffee. "You can do it Alea. You are a strong woman. I will pick you up for lunch" he explained to me. he was cute I took a deep sip and smiled at him briefly.

Then the time came. Freshly showered and dressed, with my handbag under my arm, I stood in front of the company. Thiago didn't drive here. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Then I opened the door. Once again I was the first in the office.

It was quiet. Everything tidy and clean. As if nothing had ever happened. I walked to my seat and started the PC.

I immersed myself in my work and slowly the office filled up. It was already 10:00 am when Betty came over to me from Sales "Hi Alea, have you heard from Matt or do you know if he's free today?"

I looked up at her, "I have no idea. I saw him last Friday in the office. He didn't say anything about vacation," I said as monotonously as possible. Then she left again. Luckily.

It was finally 1 p.m. and Thiago wrote me a WhatsApp that he was already waiting for me downstairs. I quickly packed my bag and left the office. I quickly got into his car and closed the passenger door.

"And?" Thiago greeted me. I gave him a kiss on the cheek. "It's okay so far". I answer and thiago drove off.

We drove to a well-known posh restaurant where almost all the important business people had lunch. "You want to come in here with me?" I follow up. "Of course the food is good," he replied. "Yes, but everyone knows you. They will see you with me?" I explained my concerns. "And now it bothers you?" he repeated unimpressed. "No but maybe you?" I revealed my concerns. "Don't worry little, I know what I'm doing and now come on I'm hungry".

And so we had lunch. It was an enjoyable meal. Thiago and I talked about trivial things. Stories told from the past. And sometimes we laughed together. People kept looking over at us. It was new for her to see the CEO in person. Thiago was better known as badass and unattainable. As a man who rarely smiles and has fun. Right now they saw the complete opposite. And I liked that I was the reason for this.

After dinner, Thiago drove me back to Barnes Miami. Before I got out of his car I wanted to kiss him again. to be close to him. So, without warning, I climbed onto his lap so that I was straddling him with my back touching the steering wheel. Luckily I was small and pretty so there was enough space.

Thiago seemed surprised at first, but when I pressed my mouth to his, he seemed to like it because he immediately put his hands on my butt and grabbed it.

The kiss grew more passionate and my hands ran through his hair while the other held his collar. After a few minutes I broke the kiss to catch my breath "Ms. Miles why so stormy?" he whispered to me.

"I need you Mr. Silva. I need your closeness. I need to feel you" I breathed into his ear.

And I felt him. Or rather his penis that presses hard against my middle. Thiago growled after what I said to him. "What I wouldn't give to shove my cock inside you right here and now," he murmured against my neck, sucking hard on my skin. I moaned out loud. I was already so wet that my wetness pushed through the panties.

Suddenly we were interrupted by a knock. I woke up and Thiago looked out the window. The police. My heart stopped. "Calm down, Alea," whispered Thiago, who recognized the feelings that came up in me. Thiago opened the window: "Sir, you are not allowed to stop," the policeman explained. "I'm leaving immediately," Thiago replied confidently. Then he rolled up the window again.

"You see everything well. Now hop over and get out," he said to me. I did too. Before I got out, however, I reached between his legs again to feel his hardness. And there she was. I grinned at him before I let go and opened the door. "You little beast!" he yelled after me, but I already closed the door and ran around his car towards the company, laughing.

I waved goodbye to him and thiago drove off.

When I entered the company, it was pure chaos. It hit me like lightning. The entire office was packed with FBI agents and the police.

"Miss What are you doing here?" I was promptly snapped out of my rigid state. "I.. I work here," I stuttered. "Ah, you must be Ms. Miles, the agent is already waiting for you," the policewoman explained to me. he does what

My heart was racing. I felt like suffocating. Do you already know? I wish Thiago could be here and help me. But there was no time because the officer led me to fucking Matt's office.

"Mr. Delugo? Ms. Miles is back from her break" announced the policewoman. "Thanks sirra you can go" the agent replied before raising his head and looking at me for the first time. His piercing green eyes scanned me from kiof to toe before settling on my face again. This look was so intense that it alone gave me goosebumps. God help me I had a feeling this man would get everything out of me just by the way he looks at me.

The questioning went on all afternoon and I didn't have much to say. I had to repeat my story over and over again. When I last saw Matt, what our relationship was like, whether there were any abnormalities. The agent wanted to know the entire past year between Matt and me. How I came to the company and and and. I was exhausted. But I kept my composure. Thiago would have been proud of me.

"Ms. Miles here is my card, if you can think of anything else, don't hesitate to call me" the agent said and handed me his business card. Lucas Delugo. Special Agent Miami Vice. I nodded. It was already 5 p.m.

"I'd like to go home, it was exhausting if that's okay," I reply politely, putting the card in my pocket.

"Of course Alea, may I say Alea?" The agent replied. I looked into his eyes and smiled briefly to "You're welcome".

"I'll take her downstairs," he explained to me. "That's not necessary agent, I know the way" I persuaded him. "Please call me Luce. And I'll go with you anyway," he countered, winking at me. Fine if he insists.

On the way down I wanted to break the silence by asking him after the other interviews "did you ask the other employees as many questions?" It seemed strange to me. "No," he answered dryly, "they didn't get a card from me either," he said. We reached the door and we opened it for me, before I step onto the sidewalk I turn to him again "Why me then?"

"Because I like you Alea Miles" without waiting for an answer from me he turned and walked away with a laugh. He couldn't be serious. He probably suspects something and wants to lead me on the wrong track, doesn't he?

Still lost in thought, I didn't even notice how Thiago was leaning against his white Mercedes AMG and crossing his arms. I only recognized him when I got there.

But I didn't even get to say hello when he hissed angrily, "Who the hell was that?" His jaw was tight and his hands were balled into fists. I stepped in front of him and looked up at him. "Agent Delugo. He questioned me all afternoon. Thiago I think he knows something". I said anxiously.

Only now did his features soften. He took me in his arms and gave me a kiss on the temple. "Shit he doesn't know, trust me. He had another reason. Did he question the others for so long?" He now wanted to know.

"No". I answered briefly and concisely. "And did you ask him why?" Did he want to know more? "He said it's because he likes me. But I can't believe it, he must have found something." I immediately set up my theory again.

"This bastard," Thiago grumbled to himself, "believe me, he's telling the truth. He likes you. I've watched you and seen how he looked at you. He wants you. Nothing more and nothing less," Thiago continued.

"If that should really be the case, then that's good, isn't it?" I said. Thiago immediately let go of my Talie "Good? Do you like it too?" he scoffs. I smiled. Was Thiago Silva just jealous? I slapped my hand on his chest, "That's not what he meant, dumbass. By good, I mean he doesn't suspect anything." In response, he only gave an annoyed screwing of himself.

I then kissed him on the mouth. Over and over again. Until he started laughing and hugged me again. "What are you actually doing here?" I wanted to know now. "I wrote to you several times and since there was no answer I thought I'd better check it out," he explained to me.

"You worried about me" I stated and grinned "don't overdo it Alea" he said mockingly. But I already knew I was right. And kissed him again. This time, however, I wanted to feel his tongue and Thiago answered my wish. After the passionate kiss, we stood face to face for a moment. "And what are we doing now?" I wanted to know.

"We're going out. Tomorrow morning I have to go to New York for a few days on business," he answered my question. My heart clenched at the thought that I wouldn't see him for a few days. I wanted him with me.

"Okay, can I change before we go?" I asked him. Thiago pulled up a brown 'if I absolutely have to'

After I had a quick shower and was able to put on new clothes, I ran back to Thiago's car, which was in front of my apartment and where he was waiting for me. It was already getting dark when I opened the passenger door and got in.

"Finally," he moaned, clearly annoyed. I just grinned at him though.

First we went to a fancy Italian restaurant. It was a small restaurant but very informal and the food was extremely good. Rarely have I eaten such good Italian pasta. Thiago seemed to be a frequent visitor as he knew the owner of the restaurant and we were treated like VIP guests. We drank another glass of red wine and chatted until we paid and left the restaurant.

"And what are we going to do now?" I wanted to know curious. "We're going to a friend's" he answered me "You have friends?" I found out surprisingly and only got an evil look. "Yes I have, not many but for which ones are like family"

For a moment I had to think about Andy. I haven't heard from him since Saturday morning and it's bothering me. But above all because I wasn't allowed to tell him the truth even though I wanted to.

We got into Thiago's car and he started the engine "What exactly are we going to do with your friend then?" I was curious. Thiago looked over at me "there is a small party at his house" he answered and looked back at the street.

We moved more and more away from the city center and after a while we reached a large villa. She was really, really big. "You won't leave me alone okay?" I secured myself again. "No little one, I promise" Thiago answered me before he gave me a kiss on my temple.

We entered the imposing building and the "little" party was already in full swing. There was laughing, drinking, dancing and talking. People seemed to be in good spirits. Thiago took my hand in his and led me through the crowd. The piercing looks of the ladies did not escape me. They didn't seem to like that Thiago had me with him.

We now reached another room. It was made of dark wood and cigar smoke filled the air. In the middle was a large table covered with green fleece. 6 men sat around him and played poker. There was already a lot of money in the middle of the table.

"Thiago my friend" he was greeted by a man who appeared to be his own age. "Marcello" the two embraced. Then this Marcello's attention was on me "I'm glad to meet you...? "Alea" I answer directly. He smiled at me and kissed the back of my hand. Okay... we went on and Thiago introduced me to all sorts of people Before.

"Do you want to drink something?" Thiago asked me when we were finally on our own again. "Gladly" I answer and followed Thiago to the bar. When he got there he ordered a Scotch and an Aperol for me. We toasted and drank. I put my drink down and stepped closer to Thiago. I felt the need to be close to him at that moment. I rested my hands on his chest and my head in the crook of his neck. Instinctively, he placed his hand on my lower back and pulled me closer to him. I inhaled his scent deeply and enjoyed the brief moment of closeness. Thiago gave me gentle kisses on the forehead until we were disturbed again.

"I have to introduce myself, my name is Clara, I'm so happy to finally get to know you," the woman in front of us babbled without a point and comma and before I knew it she took me in her arms. She was probably the only woman in her house who didn't seem to hate me.

Surprised by the gesture, I looked at Thiago. He rolled his eyes and said annoyed "Alea, may I introduce my sister-in-law Clara, Clara this is Alea". Sister in law? By Thiago. Alsi family. I was speechless for a moment, I didn't expect that.

"Come on, I have to introduce you to a few people." She continued to talk hastily and already pulled me with her. Seeking help, I looked at Thiago, who just grinned amusingly and pulled his shoulders up. Well thank you too.

I had been walking with Clara for over an hour. She introduced me to so many people I couldn't remember a single name. My gaze kept gliding to Thiago, who was talking to other men here and there. Clara was about to introduce someone to me again when I saw a blond woman with a very, very short red dress running to Thiago from the vantage point. She snuggled up against him and he put his hand on her waist while holding his scotch with the other. She stroked his chest playfully with her fingers and a previously unknown anger boiled up inside me.

I want to go over there, grab her bleached hair and smack her face against the wall. Calm down Alea. Suddenly she whispered something in his ear and he nodded. Then they both ran away. Way through the door that led to the poker room.

I could not believe it. What shoud that? Clara must have noted what just happened because she suddenly said:

"Giulia, her name is Giulia. A real bitch to be treated with caution."

Now I looked over at Clara "what does she have to do with Thiago?" I wanted to know in a serious tone.

"Mhh from time to time they had something together" Clara answered me honestly.

"So his ex girlfriend?" I asked shocked.

"No, God forbid, just one more trivial affair." she explained to me.

I was about to go to follow Thiago and this bitch when Clara grabbed my arm "No not. Better stay here Alea"
