NOVEL DRAMA ONLINE Chapter Leaving Martini House
Hanging up the call she placed Gabriel's phone on the side of the table so he can come and pick it up easily, moving on, she power on her own phone and waited for the screen to light up. Releasing out the frustration on Alessandro and having a clear explanation from him, she was now feeling much better. She picked up the file and resumed her review process, she has to work hard, she does not want to have any boom in her career because she is in relation with Alessandro, despite she wants her achievements to be because of her own struggles and hard work.
Little later the door was opened and Gabriel came inside.
'Are you done with the call?' before taking his phone in his hands he asked her carefully, when she nodded her head he sighed in content.
'Alessandro is very much possessive for you, please try not to shut him next time. It is better to get the things sort out rather than keeping them inside' Gabriel was worried for his friend, totally aware what game his enemies were trying to play this time and it was too risky for Alessandro, seeing how cautious and possessive he was for her and his kids.
'I understood, sorry for my behavior' she apologized for asking him to leave the room.
'Never mind, you guys needed the space to discuss. I am glad I was not there' Autumn smiled softly.
'Thanks, Alessandro is lucky to have you as a friend' Gabriel chuckled at her compliment.
"You too have a great friend' at this she got reminded of Natalie to whom she had totally forget after coming in to Martini's house.
'Talking of her, I think I should plan a dinner with her. I haven't asked her how is she doing these days' she slammed her hand on her forehead, receiving another chuckle from him.
'You are just like Alessandro, when he is focused on one thing then nothing can grab his attention. You guys have so much in common' Autumn bit the inside corner of her lips at his comment, at this point she couldn't decide if it was something to appreciate or worry, as if both have same bad habits than how will they change them, however, she quickly shrugged off the thought and focused on the matter she had initiated to deal with.
'Thanks anyway for letting me using your phone.' Her attention was diverted towards Natalie and she was now scrolling down to search her contact.
'She will kill me, if she found that how lower her contact had gotten' she muttered, Gabriel passed a smile to her and left the room taking his cell phone with him. Whereas, Autumn was now waiting for her friend to answer the call as bell was going on the other side of the call.
'Hey look, who had called me' it took a while for Natalie to answer her call, but she did, and she made sure to greet her best friend in a most sarcastic way. Autumn couldn't stop rolling her eyes at how dramatic her friend is.
'Yes, it is me, Autumn Banner' she being the best friend, replied in the same tone as her, letting her know that the sarcasm hasn't affected her.
'May I know why the busiest lady had called me? What urgency has gotten up to you?' Autumn pursed her lips, Natalie was really upset at her and she was not even trying to hide it.
'I see, my friend is very angry, huh?' in return Natalie snorted.
'Let's meet at dinner today, treat from my side. I will pick you up from your office, right?' she wanted to confirmed.
'Okay, but you have to explain me everything, I am having a hunch that there is a lot you have to tell me' Autumn pouted her face, she was the best friend for a reason, even they don't had enough time to talk and discuss but she knows that too many things are going in her friend's life at this moment.
'Deal!' Autumn pressed her lips, agreeing to her.
'Fine, I am sending you the location of my new office, pick me up at 7 sharp' Autumn's eyes widened in shock.
'You switched your job?'
'I swear Autumn, if you were in front of me or even you had video called me, my expression would have enough to dig you down in shame' Autumn took the lower lip between her teeth and closed her eyes in embarrassment. Natalie was too irate.
'I am so sorry Sweetheart, give me a chance and I will make up to this. I swear' Natalie on the other call sighed in disappointment.
'Let's meet and talk' Autumn hummed at her response and made a mental note to buy her favorite snacks and chocolates to elevate her mood and make up for her ignorance that had happened unintentionally from her side. 'Send me the location and I will be there on time' she was concluding her talk with Natalie when the door of her room was knocked and Clara entered, Autumn's expression turned to sour swiftly and she asked Natalie to talk with her in evening as she has some matter to deal.
'Yes, Ms. Peterson' Autumn crossed her hands on the chest and leaned back on her rolling chair, fixing her gaze on Clara. Just looking at her had reminded her talk with Helen and Alessandro and her blood had already starts to boil. 'I came here to ask you about the work that I have to do. My all team mates are busy and had been assigned their work already through email, whereas, I haven't received any such email yet.' Autumn arched her brow at the tone she was using at her.
'Let's be clear about one thing Ms. Peterson, I am the head here and not you and when you talk to me, you should keep your voice low and respectful and your eyes shouldn't be like a rebellion. You are here to work not order anyone around here. It is not your father's office' The rage was building up inside her and she didn't even try to hide. In fact, she strictly showed her the limits that disrespect will not be tolerate.
Clara's brow knitted in annoyance and she snarled in response.
'This might not be my father's office but this is my future husband's office, and let me inform you Alessandro will not accept this disrespect to me once I will tell him about this. Mr. Angelo Martini might even go far to fire you for what you have said to me' leaning towards her desk, Clara told to her with sinister smile playing on her lips.
Autumn clenched her jaw and fisted her hand, the only thing she wanted to do right now was to punch on her beautiful face, but she suppressed her rage and instead gave her a side mocking smile.
'Whatever your relation with Martini family is, you shouldn't be using it in your favor. You are an employee here so act like the one. By the way, I doubt, can you even reach out to Mr. Alessandro?' Autumn raised her brow at her challenging. 'Oh, that's not the big deal. He is currently in Italy. I don't want to disturb him in his important business meetings, but wait, once he will be here I will teach you the lesson' Clara slammed her palm on the desk, her eyes were burning with fire, same fire was in Autumn's eyes, but what shocked and disheartened her was that she knew the whereabouts of Alessandro, which she shouldn't be if what Alessandro said was true.
'Now, please share the email with me so I can begin my work. I am not like you wasting my time in talking to friends' Autumn glared at the woman standing in front of her with satisfying smile plastered in her face. It was taking her all strength within her to not cause any drama, but it was for sure, Alessandro has to give explanation a very detailed explanation, otherwise, she will leave the Martini House, taking kids with her and leaving this place for forever.
