(8.5) Don't Stare

💋

     "You two order anything you want, I'll handle the payment. If you need anything just approach me." Romeo immediately tells us.

     We were inside a restaurant to eat lunch, but apparently, we were actually here because Romeo was going to meet up with a woman that I clearly didn't know about.

     "Then enjoy your lunch", Johnson told him as Romeo walks away from us, probably to go to the woman who he was supposed to meet with.

     "Why did he even make me come with them?" I thought to myself, a little annoyed about the whole situation.

     "Julien, let's sit down", Johnson tells me, quickly making me look at him. I nod my head and waited for him to sit down first before I could sit on my own seat.

     But before Johnson could even say anything, a waiter goes to us.

     "Your order sir?" the waiter asked.

     Johnson takes the menu and starts saying these dishes. He then looks back at me and asked, "What would yours be Julien?"

     I gestured my hand and answered, "Whatever you picked sir Johnson."

     Johnson nods his head and looks back at the waiter, "Then make that two."

     "Anything else sir?" the waiter asked.

     "No, that would be all, thank you", Johnson answered, and then the waiter nods his head and leaves.

     "Johnson would be fine by the way, like I said earlier, you don't have to add the sir", Johnson suddenly says.

    I looked at him confusingly so he continued, "I might be old looking but I'm still just your co-employee."

     "But, aren't you like...Chairman Val's guardian?" I asked, suddenly making Johnson laugh.

     What's so funny?

     "Well, it looks like it doesn't it? But no, I'm not his legal guardian. If personal assistant isn't pretty convincing then...butler? Will that be more appropriate?" he asked me, but I didn't know what to answer him.

     "It might not look like it but Romeo has a very protective family; he doesn't need me to be his guardian. I am only here to assist him in any way possible, nothing more", Johnson explains to me.

     "Is that so..." I say, and then both of us became quiet and awkward.

     Johnson cleared his throat and quickly asked me, "So, do you have any particular reasons on why you chose to work for the Valentino Company?"

     I shook my head and honestly answered, "Not really. If it weren't for President King I wouldn't even be interested in working there, it just so happened I needed the extra money."

     "Extra money? Then that means-" Johnson suddenly pauses when he sees a message appear on the screen of his phone.

     "Oh excuse me, let me just reply to this real quickly", he says as he takes his phone and replies to the message.

     I took a deep breath and waited for him to finish. While waiting, I unknowingly looked at Romeo who was sitting with a woman that had really pretty hair. Just by looking at her back, it was obvious she was beautiful.

     And the fact that Romeo - who I won't deny; is very handsome - was eating lunch with a beautiful woman pisses me off for some reason.

     Who was she anyways? Romeo's girlfriend? If she is then I bet their sex life is terrible.

     I continued to stare at Romeo, but to my surprise, Romeo suddenly looks back at me. He was obviously startled that I was actually staring at him, so he pretends like he doesn't see me and just looks back at the pretty lady that was sitting in front of him.

     "Don't stare", Johnson suddenly says, quickly making me flinch.

     "N-No...I wasn't really-" I nervously tried to explain, making Johnson chuckle on my sudden action.

     "Don't worry, I won't tell. But if you stare too long Romeo's eventually going to notice", he tells me, making me feel embarrassed all of a sudden.

     Johnson stares at me, seconds later he starts smirking, "Oh, he already did, didn't he?" he asked me, making me bite my lower lip.

     "You find him interesting don't you?" Johnson continued to ask me. But of course, I still didn't dare answer that.

    "And I know you're already wondering, so let me make it clear. The woman he's with...that's his sister", Johnson suddenly tells me; honestly shocking me since I didn't know Romeo had a sister.

     "Half sister", Johnson immediately added when he noticed how confused I was. But what he just said made me confused even more.

     "It's complicated", Johnson says.

     Of course it is.

     "I'm used to things being complicated", I tell him.

    Johnson suddenly leans closer and says, "Believe me...his version of complicated is way out of your league."

     I smirked and leaned a little closer to him too, "Well that's because you haven't heard of my version of complicated...sir Johnson."

    I thought Johnson was going to say something, but suddenly he grins and says, "Now that's the attitude I'm waiting for. I'm pretty sure you're not the quiet type, because if you were, Romeo wouldn't even find you significant."

     I leaned back on my seat and chuckled, "I try to keep my mouth shut as frequently as I can", I told him.

     "Why? Don't want the wrong words to come out?" Johnson asked.

     I shake my head and answered, "No, it's the other way around. I don't want the right words to come out, because telling the truth brings more harm than lying."

     "Then you must be a good liar", Johnson stated, making me smirk.

     "I wouldn't be where I am now if I weren't", I bravely said.

     Johnson was going to say something, but suddenly, we heard a splash.

     "What in the-"

     I quickly looked at Romeo's table and saw him soaking wet.

     The sight of him looking like that suddenly made my blood boil.

     I clenched on my fist and quickly stood up from my seat to go to where my boss was. As I was approaching their table, I saw the woman lift her hand, quickly making me understand what her next move was.

     "Sister or not, you are not allowed to do that...bitch."

A/N:

Hey guys! It's been so long since I've wrote an authors note 😂 Anyways, I hope by this point you guys are aware that the story will eventually end up being complicated, so, to help you with that, I took the liberty to make a family tree. Each (.5) chapters that I will be uploading, an updated family three will also be uploaded, so by the end of the story, you'll be seeing a VERY big family tree of the Valentinos. 

I hope you guys take note of this because I won't explain it to you next time. Red lines signifies marriage or union, white lines signifies siblings, and blue lines signifies their children. X are people who are mentioned in the story but have not been named yet, so in the future, you'll eventually know who they are.

Anyways, I hope you guys are ready for this story's very complicated plot, because I seriously worked hard in making it, and it will be by far one of the most intense story that I will be writing. I was honestly scared to published this but here we are haha

Take note that this story will be a little longer than Sit, Stay, Roll Over (If you ever have read it). So I hope you guys are ready to accompany me in this new journey.

I am very happy that you guys are reading this and I am very honored that you guys are even enjoying it. To the boners (the readers), thank you for trying this out too, you guys have no idea how happy that makes me feel 😭.

Hopefully you pray for me that I can end up executing this story with ease. 

Well anyways, thank you again and see you on the next update! 💋❤️

Your Dear Author,
