Taming The Las Vegas Playboy

Chapter 101 - Caring For You (2)

During these two weeks, he seemed softened down a little. Or maybe because she was getting used to his style of speech. His words and his actions often went the opposite way. So she usually did not take his words seriously but just counting on his behaviors towards her.

Sometimes he said something that hurt her feeling, made her feet felt itchy, but his actions were much better than words.

The executive floor only had a management team with their own rooms and the conference rooms were down below on the office floor. Wirata, therefore, did not have to face the strange eyes of the people she had worked with before. They walked into his spacious office with every modern equipment money could buy.

At the company, James normally had a duty to coordinate with the meeting management, informing the staff that the big boss had arrived. Ben was responsible for the files folders from the penthouse, which the boss had already read and signed. But he had to look through them again for prudence to make sure everything was in order and correct. So James was on the phone and Ben was sitting on the desk near the door doing their jobs.

"Sit down here. I'll bring you the painkillers."

Stefan took her to sit on the soft couch. Wirata looked up at the tall elegant figure in an expensive suit. When he put on a suit, he appeared to be a full-fledged businessman. Wirata liked to look at his large and tall body when he moved. Every step was full of confidence. That would be the stamp in Mackenzie's blood because Sam was similar to his older brother too. Everywhere they appeared they seemed to draw people's eyes and attention. He walked to his big desk and pulled the drawer out, brought a bottle of the painkillers and then walked back to her.

"Two pills. Take it. Don't be stubborn."

He said, handed the medicine along with the water. He was acting as if she was a child. Probably thought that she would hate to take medication like him which in fact, she was not like him at all. But she took it easy and drank water after the pills. Wirata did not want to argue and made him frustrated by refusing to take it. As now he looked genuine and kind to her same as he was to Summer!

No, she did not envy the little puppy. But just noticed that in the harshness and acting tough of Stefan Mackenzie, he had hidden gentleness deep in there somewhere especially, for little Summer. He had spoiled her puppy every day. She could imagine when he had his own kids, how much he would spoil them. But it was not going to be her business, however. By that time, they would have already split their ways.

The sound of somebody knocking on the office door. Ben rushed to open it. Stefan was sitting beside Wirata. Both looked up to see who was coming.

 A tall and slender figure in a neat and expensive gray suit walked in. Her face wore makeup beautifully and professionally. The curly reddish-brown hair was long and let loose naturally at her back. She was sexy and beautiful as an American model in a suit.

"Hello, Stefan. It's been a long time. How have you been doing?"

She greeted with a big smile.

Stefan stood up and walked to her when he saw who the guest was. Melissa went straight to him and opened her arms to hug him tight rather than just shaking hands.

"I'm glad we finally got to work together."

Said the sweet voice with a beautiful smile sent to Stefan. Stefan was surprised by her statement. Work together? Did she mean to join this meeting?

Melissa looked at the tall well-built, perfect body in an elegant suit. His handsome face was stunning and took her breath away. She remembered the handsome young man who used to flirt with her but not for long when he turned his interest away from her.

She felt heartbroken when he stopped paying attention. She was young and from a rich and prudent family so she did not show how much she liked him even she would have loved to. So after graduation from England. She never met him again.

It was unbelievable how powerful a man he had become. Apart from his unbelievably handsome looks, he was a very successful businessman as he followed his father's footsteps right after his graduation.

Stefan nodded and smiled at her. Walked her to his desk. She was standing quite close to him.

"Yes. It's been a long time, hasn't it? How are you? "

He said to her and stepped back a little from her tall elegant body.

"Busy as always. Nothing's like when we were just uni students anymore. I remember always when we're together in England."

She said. Stefan lifted his eyebrow up a little when hearing. She spoke as if they were close. He could not help to glance at the person sitting on the couch. She was not paying attention, bending down to read a magazine in her hands!

"I've heard that your company being kind to my father by letting him hold a small share."

Stefan directed the topic to the business. His statement had Melissa's face turn red a little because it was not SMALL share, but Michael Mackenzie had bought the 49 percent of the lot now and just let her father sit as the president and worked for him while the Mackenzie got profits without doing much. However, they did not have much choice at the moment. Paddington was nearly gone bankrupt if Michael Mackenzie had not lent a helping hand.

"Well, I think it's a perfect decision. Now we are in the same boat and I am glad."

Melissa replied.

Stefan lifted a corner of his lips up a little to her statement. He glanced at the time and then glanced at Wirata again. Now she was not reading anymore but closed her eyes. He thought she looked weary and needed a rest so he turned to Melissa.

"It's nearly time for the meeting. Shall we go to the conference room?"

"Sure."

Melissa said. She glanced at the woman on the couch a little then walked to the door with Stefan followed by James and Ben.

Melissa was a bit curious to know who a stunning Asian woman was. But then she was assuming that the beautiful young woman was Stefan's bedmate. As his reputation about women was not a secret. He did not bother to introduce so it meant the woman obviously was not that important after all.
