Chapter He is Upset
'Hello!' taking Gabriel's phone in her hand, she coldly greeted Alessandro, whereas, the man on other side of the call sighed in content when heard her sweet voice, though he caught the coldness in her voice but for him it was the moment of relaxation that she at least decided to talk to him. He knew something had happened behind his absence and it has affected her mood.
He is totally aware that Samuel is working hard to win back Autumn and he wouldn't have left her alone here, unfortunately, the situation here was worse and dangerous and he was not ready to bring his family in to this danger for now, he was not prepared himself for that.
'We just talked in the morning and you were totally fine, what had happened in couple of hours that you switched off your phone and does not want to talk to me' he was hearing the conversation that held between her and Gabriel. Autumn opened her mouth to answer him but then shut her lips when saw Gabriel still standing there. How much irked she was at this moment she hated the presence of his in her room listening to her and Alessandro's conversation, she bitterly asked from him, instead of answering to Alessandro.
'Why are you still here? Don't you have work to do?' Gabriel was startled by her question and getting immediately nervous he stuttered while responding to her.
'No, no. It is not like that. I have a lot of work to look after' he was shaking his hands as well while telling to her.
'Then go and do your job, your phone is safe with me' she pointed towards the door, Gabriel's face turned red in embarrassment and he nodded quietly and spinning towards the door he rushed out of the room.
'Now tell me what were you saying?' once she made sure that Gabriel is not anywhere around, she finally talked to him.
'You shouldn't have talked to him like that, he is my best friend and close man too' Alessandro felt the need to support his friend, he has to now talk to him as well after dealing with her.
'What I am going to ask from you right now is something you might won't like your best friend to listen' she hissed angrily, the more she was letting the voice of Helen to repeat in her mind the more she was feeling betrayed and was losing the control over her emotions.
'What is it Autumn, you are making me worried now' judging how much livid she was, it surprised Alessandro and he couldn't hide the concern that jumped over him. 'Who is Clara? Clara Peterson?' She asked from him.
'Clara?' Alessandro had forgot about his date that Angelo Martini had arranged with his friend's daughter, hence he sounded unaware of any woman with that name.
'I don't know! Why what happened and who is this Clara by the way?' Autumn fisted her hand and gritted her teeth, only if he was here in front of her, she would have punched him on chest countless times until all her rage has subsided. 'Don't act Alessandro, I am talking about the woman your father has find for you to get married and you had hired her in this branch so she can get the chance to come close to you.' She burst out in rage, leaving Alessandro in shock. 'What the hell! You are talking about that woman?' when it clicked to him, he stood up from his chair and asked in shock. It was a shocking news for him that this girl had come this far, first claiming herself as his girlfriend in head office and now as a fiancé, that woman has the audacity to show up in fact after she was insulted by him.
Further, as far as he remembers, he had very clearly informed his father that he is not interested in this woman, after finding out about kids and Autumn his decision was changed and the only woman now he want to think about is only her. 'See, you recognized her. All you were doing was making fool to me' Autumn's voice quavered, Alessandro's heart teared up listening to her broke voice.
'That is not true Autumn, it is just the rumor' Alessandro ran his hand frustratingly in his hair, one thing echoing in his mind right now was to talk to Gabriel and demand the answer about her presence in his office and most importantly, how come Autumn gets to know about his father's intentions of getting him married to that stupid woman.
'Oh really? If this is not true that what is? Rumors never goes out in public from nowhere, there is always a source behind it which supports the claim' she yelled, slamming the file on the desk, letting the loud banging sound to be heard on the other side of the call. Alessandro sighed.
'Do you remember, what I said to you yesterday? You should trust me blindly and I will never break your trust' Autumn's rage subsided when she heard Alessandro murmuring softly, as if he was in pain seeing that he had failed to gain her trust. 'I do trust you Sandro but' her rage quickly converted in to defensive mode, in the end she was helpless in front of her emotions and the fear of losing him.
'Than you should believe that the woman Alessandro Martini will marry is only one and that is Autumn Banner' His words brought tears in her eyes and she swiftly wiped her cheeks when felt the wetness on her cheeks.
'And what about Clara?' she was still unable to forget her and what she had heard regarding that woman.
'She is no one for me. There is nothing to fear about sweetheart, I am only yours. Just for the sake of your mental peace and assurance, I will ask dada about her and will let you know once I will be aware of the actual situation, because as far as I understand, it seems like a plot of my enemies' Autumn bit her lower lip, once she had got assurance from Alessandro and her heart is at ease that he was not lying, her tensed muscles were now relaxed and she was back to her normal mood, but there was one thing that was making her worried.
'Sandro, who is your enemy and what do they want from you?' she had heard about enemies before as well and couldn't help but fear for him and her kids.
'I will tell you everything but when I will be back to Florida. I can't take any more risk to offend you' Autumn's cheeks turned red at his comment.
'I am sorry' she pushed back the strand of hair behind her ear.
'I want kisses as an apology' Autumn cleared her throat.
'It is Gabriel's phone we are talking from' she highlighted the fact.
'He won't dare to listen to our recording, so you can freely send me kisses' Autumn shook her head at how stubborn he was being right now and she had no escape from it as she herself doesn't want him to be upset.
