After doing the interview, she has been getting lots of calls from people who might be fans and admirers.
When the car drove in the direction of her penthouse, she was shocked to see the kind of crowd that was there.
The crowd included reporters who wanted to get their own exclusive interview and fans who wanted to see her face up close.
Hanan turned to her assistant who was sitting close to her in the car. “How did they know my address?”
“I don’t know Miss Quick, I’m even as surprised as you are.
“Get into the underground carriage” she said to the bodyguard driving.
The car immediately drove into the underground carriage and they could see the reporters trying to get inside the carriage but the security men stopped them from getting in.
The security men closed the carriage so know fan or reporter would get in.
The bodyguards opened the door for her and she stepped out from it, even if there was know report or fans on site the bodyguards still shielded her.
As they headed to the elevator, one of the security men rushed towards them.
The bodyguard stopped him from coming any close.
“Miss” said the security
“Let him be, Don” Hanan said to Don who was holding him down
Don't let go of him and he straightened up “I can’t believe you are the owner of QuickFashion, my daughter had ones saved up to buy your designa. She is the biggest fan of your work, so please could you sign an autograph for her '' He said as he brought out QuickFashion magazine, the new season’s edition.
Hanan nodded and collected a pen from May, then she signed her autograph on it.
“Thank you so much Miss, my daughter would be so happy”
“Your welcome” Hana smiled at him and then got into the elevator with others.
The elevator got to the 50th floor of the building before she stepped into her penthouse.
The bodyguards waited outside while she and her assistants went inside.
“Get me a glass of water with ice inside and then bring it to my study” she went to her study room while her assistant went to get her a glass of water with ice inside.
“Here is it madam” May dropped in on the table close to her
“Thank you” Hanan picked the glass of water and drank from it, then she sighed in satisfaction “A glass of water is what I needed”
“Yesterday’s interview was really nice, madam, but it took all of us by surprise. I’m really surprised that you are planning to move to Italy and start up a branch of the fashion house there” May said, expressing her thoughts.
May had been working for Hanan since the start of the company. She is the trusted and diligent assistant of the fashion designer and CEO of QuickFashion. May Skyler is an average height Armenian with short black curly hair. She is beautiful and also fashionable.
At first she had a bad taste in fashion but being a fashion designer’s assistant, she had to learn to dress properly.
Hanan moved her eyes away from the documents she was reviewing and looked up at her assistant “There is something I never told you, Italy is actually were I came from, I grew up there, I have only been in the United States for 10 years”
“Oh, I never knew”
“Of course you didn’t because I never told you”
“Yeah”
“Meanwhile, are these all the documents I need to sign?”
“Yes madam and also I have contacted top real estate agents in Milan as you had requested me to. Both the ones that deal in housing and office space, here are their details and contacts”
May dropped the paper on the table
“Alright, if there is nothing more you can retire for the day”
“Okay ma’am, have a nice evening”
“You too May”
After she was through in the study room she went upstairs freshen up and came downstairs to have dinner.
She has a cook and a cleaner who comes twice a week to clean up the place and stock the fresh with food. She is more used to homemade food than fast food.
After warming up the food she ate and sat to watch entertainment news.
Suddenly she received a message on her phone. She checked her phone and saw that it was from an unknown sender.
She clicked the message icon and read the message.
MAKE SURE YOU GET BACK HERE SOON!
Although the message was from an unknown sender, just by reading the message, she knew who it was from.
She looked at the clock and saw that it was 11pm, meaning that it was already morning in Italy.
“So unbelievable” she said with annoyed tone
She just arrived in Angeles yesterday and now he was already pestering her to come back.
“He is still as controlling as ever”
*********
Inside the emergency meeting room were some departmental managers in the Salvatore group of companies.
Although a meeting was going on but his attention was divided
David kept staring at his phone, waiting for a reply from her but known came.
His phone suddenly light up and he checked to see if it was a massage from her but it was a stupid news notification. He checked in the massage box to be sure but there was no massage from her.
David held on his phone tight, he was annoyed.
Although she doesn’t know his number, based on the message he sent, she is supposed to know it was from him.
What was she doing that made her not reply?
His mood suddenly changed, making the atmosphere in the room change as well.
Noticing Mr Salvatore’s mode, the managers were scared that he might not like the presentation that was being given.
“Should we create another project, Mr Salvatore?” The head of department asked
“Continue as planned, meeting is adjourned”
He got up immediately and left the meeting room, immediately dialing the number of his bodyguard.
“Hello boss”
“Where is she?”
“She is in her penthouse and might already be resting”
“Go check if she is really there and inform me once you do”
“Yes boss”
David hung up the call and went back to his office.
Few minutes later his bodyguard called to inform him that he had just spoken to her, meaning she was home.
So she was avoiding him? David became angrier
Back in her penthouse, Hanan just finished talking to the bodyguard and went back to the sitting room to continue the show she was watching.
She knew why the bodyguard had come to check up on her. David must have called and told him to do so since she didn’t reply to his text.
He most think she had gone somewhere
He was still the David of ten years ago, he never changed, always guarding is territory.
The following morning, Hanan dressed up and left the penthouse to her fashion house.She had a meeting with all her workers and in the meeting she will be informing them of her plans to move to Italy and starting up a branch there.As usual, when she got close to her fashion house, there were reporters and fans waiting for her there.She has been receiving non-stop messages and calls from media houses requesting to have an exclusive interview with her. Even her assistant has also been receiving calls.She has been ignoring all calls and have told her assistant to do same.Her car drove into the underground carriage of her fashion house, preventing the reporters from seeing her.With the bodyguards following her closely, she took the elevator to the 11th floor were the meeting room was located.She already informed them of the emergency meeting, so everyone must be waiting for her to arrive.The moment she stepped into the meeting room everyone got up to show respect.Some of her desig
The last time she visited her parents was six months ago. She has been so busy with work that she hasn't had time to come see them.She didn’t plan to visit them by this time but she had to do so, since they needed to be informed about her plans of relocating.But how is she going to explain to them that she was not just going to Italy but that David had found her.It was a mistake on her part, she shouldn’t have gone to Italy with her crew but the situation there needed her presence so she did.She sat on one of the couches in the living room, facing both of her parents who had a scared and horrible look on their faces after she told them she was relocating to Italy. Hanan came from a middle class family, she grew up having most things not everything. Hee parents house was a duplex with 5 bedrooms, a large kitchen and living room with a swimming pool and was situated in a good and secured location.The purpose of CCTV was for safety reasons.She didn’t expect to meet her both of the
After she was done speaking with her parents, she went to her room to freshen up when she received a text from Arya telling her that she would not be able to make it to St Augustine, that she has an urgent interview to go to and is also booked for the weekend.Arya: “But keep in mind that we are going to be having that conversation soon, when am free”Hanan: “Fine then, take care”Arya didn’t send a reply so she dropped her phone and went about her business.She spent the weekend with her parentsDuring the time she spent with them, she always saw the worried look on their faces.There was a time at night she came down stairs to go take water from the kitchen and saw her dad’s study room light on.She could see the shadow of two persons inside and knew that would be her dad and her mom. They were having a conversation.When she checked the time and saw that it was 12 at midnight, she was surprised. Why would both of them be having a conversation at this time of the knight? What were t
If it was another man who held her in such a way, she would have kicked that thing he had in between his legs or slapped his face hard to free his hold on her. But with David, she felt powerless and unable to do anything. David was still capable of making her heart beat rapidly and even make her blush without even doing anything. She can’t remember the last time her heart beated like this. She raised her head and looked at his face, his eyes were closed, but his grip on her was still firm. Now that she was looking at him closely, she could see how tired he was. He must have be walking all night and all morning. Even when he was tired he still came to pick her up from the airport, her heart melted at this thought. She looked out of the window and saw that there was no house in view anymore. Where was David taken her to? She asked herself but just decided to wait and see. After about 30 minutes they appeared in front of a huge gate. The gate opened, it was an electric gate that c

She plans on spending her morning with her parents who have bought her different presents and a big cake.After spending the morning with her parents who did a mini party for her at home, she went out shopping with her friends to spend the afternoon.Another thing they were celebrating apart from her party was their graduation from the collection.

When she got to the living room on the ground floor she met Don waiting for her.“The boss asked me to drop you in the hotel where the two girls are.Hanan concluded he must have called to tell him while she was on her way down.“Okay” She nodded and followed him to the garage, they opened the back door for her and she got into the car and they took her to the hotel where her assistant and Scarlet are.She was taken to a 10 star hotel and was wowed by its beauty both in and out.She recognises the hotel to be the one David had built 3 years back.She was able to know this because she always followed all news about him from the day she and her parents left Italy till today.She never missed any news about him. As someone from a conglomerate family and the heir to everything his father owns, news about him including his personal life spread like wide fire in the media.So even When she was in the United States, she always read news about him.She knew when he took over the family busin
The following day, Hanan arrived at the real estate company with May to see the real estate agent for the building she wants to buy.Hanan was dressed in a professional way, she was putting on a pitch suit jacket with pants on and paired it with a cream lace singlet with cream stilettos and a cream Hermes back.Her assistant May was also well dressed in a professional way.“Please have your seat miss Quick” the real estate agent offered her a seat in his office.“Thank you Mr Rodrigez” Hanan said with a smile and sat down.“So I have many buildings for you to see for your office space and also residential buildings” The real estate agent shifted his wide iPad to her direction and scrolled through different buildings.“This building is nice, I don’t think I like this one, the building painted in white is nice” Hanan kept on giving her opinion on the buildings as he scrolled through them.Hanan picked five office buildings and some residential buildings in different estates to choose f

First photo was of Hanan and her assistant leaving the hotel Next photo was when they arrived at the real estate company“She is going to be busy checking out office space for her fashion company”“Call the real estate agency and tell them to recommend one of my buildings to her”“Right away sir” Carlos wanted to walk away to go make the call but was stopped.“Make the call here!!” David shouted at him“Yes sir” Carlos' hands trembled as he dialed the number of the real estate company.The call went through immediat
