His Silent Treatment

"What?" I said, looking at him,

He just took his things and stood up. There was a look in his eyes, which I couldn't understand, it was like he was looking at his favourite broken toy. Is it pity ?.

If Not then what is that?

He walked away from here, I was still standing there thinking about his words.

Why everything is against me and Lorenzo?

Why does everyone warn me to stay away from him?

Everything flashed through my mind, our meeting, our love for each other everything.

I couldn't see his bad side in there, Everything I could see was love in those piercing green eyes for me.

He saved me from that monster that day, and he cared for me, he kept me in his house. He put his driver around me. Who does this nowadays? Everyone just uses you for their profit, after that; they'll throw you out of their life like a tissue paper.

But he didn't do that, he helped me in my crucial time. He didn't leave me alone there, he took care of me. Everything was running through my mind, and I didn't even notice that I was outside the school and I was walking towards Paul.

Looking at me, he walked towards me, " Venessa what happened? " He asked with a worried expression on his face.

"Nothing... nothing..." I tried to put a smile on my face but failed miserably.

I climbed inside the car, and Paul started the engine.

"Paul, please take me to Enzo," I said, still in the same state.

He nodded. I turned and looked outside the window. Zachary doesn't talk to anyone, and he rarely talks to his friends. He... Telling... me...to stay away from Lorenzo has a big impact on me. How come he knows that I am with Enzo if he knows why he told me to stay away from him. He doesn't know me at all, never in our entire school life he acknowledged me, I was a nobody. I had only one friend that was Beth. There were lots of questions running in my mind.

"Paul" I called him, and I want one positive thought for our relationship to start, one positive thing that shows that there's nothing wrong with us being together, one positive thing! Only one.

"Yes, Venessa," he said.

"Can I ask you something?" I still said looking outside.

"Yes"

"Please give me your honest answer"

"Okay"

"Is he... a bad man?"

He didn't say anything for a minute; I turned towards him and I didn't notice that he stopped the car. He was looking ahead.

Maybe he didn't hear me.

I thought to myself, I looked outside and saw he stopped at a restaurant. I was about to open the door, then Paul said, "Mr.Francisco, is a very possessive man, he protects those, who he loves, he had a dark past and because of that he turned into a cruel and ruthless businessman. But there's good in him underneath his cold self, I saw it...(Turning towards me he continued )" I saw it when he's with you. You can change him Venessa, I worked for his family for almost 20 years. I've seen him grow into a man who he is now. He is a good man Nessa and... Please don't give up on him. Whatever he does there's always a reason behind it, " There were sincerity and honesty in his eyes. It shows how much he respects Lorenzo. That's it I got what I wanted and now I'm not going to back down a bit.

I smiled at Paul and thanked him; I opened the car door and walked inside the restaurant.

Inside I saw Lorenzo talking to two professional dressed men, one was very handsome with brown hair and the other was an attractive blonde.

I started walking towards them; I saw them standing up and shaking hands with Lorenzo. He was normal with a serious expression on his face, but the other two people were happy like they got their favourite candy.

Those two started walking towards the exit, that brown hair one looked at me while walking beside me. I directly walked towards Lorenzo. He was sitting in his seat.

I sat in front of him, but he was ignoring me completely.

John was standing behind him with a neutral expression on his face.

Enzo signalled him to go, John walked far away and stood at the exit.

"Enzo" I called him. He didn't respond.

"Please talk to me,"

He didn't respond.

Taking a sip from his coffee, he completely ignored me.

"I know why you're angry with me," I said,

"You're angry because I had dinner with Niall and his friends," I said, feeling guilty for forgetting about it.

Taking a sip from his coffee, "I will fire them all." He said, calmly.

"WHAT!!!" I said, shocked by his words.

Calming myself, I asked him.

"Enzo.......Please don't do that"

Taking another sip from his coffee, "I will," he said in a low and husky voice. I signed and leaned back on my chair. I have to do something or else he will fire them all for having a simple dinner with me. This is ridiculous. Then I got a brilliant idea, I smiled at my idea. Enzo was looking at me with a

I signed and leaned back on my chair. I have to do something or else he will fire them all for having a simple dinner with me. This is ridiculous. Then I got a brilliant idea, I smiled at my idea. Enzo was looking at me with a confused expression. I stood up and walked towards John; I signalled him to bend a bit. Because...you know! I'm short and John's tall and bulky man. He bends over, I quickly moved closer towards him and said my plan to him.

He smiled at me and nodded his head, he moved back and took his phone.I walked back towards Enzo with a smile on my face while He was casually taking a sip from his coffee. I was staring him with a smile on my face, watching his lips touching the edge of the Cup and taking the sip, That was sexy. This Greek god doesn't have to do anything at all, his simple action makes me dripping wet down there. He didn't bother to look at my miserable condition. After some time, John came to me, rescuing me from this silent torture. I looked at him; he nodded his head. I smiled and got up from my seat; Enzo was looking at John and me.
