REGRET (Broken Series 1)

EPISODE 7

ROSABELLA

I stood up to walk downstairs and buy my lunch. I haven't seen Leonardo leave his office yet. He is left to fawn over there. I didn't bring him coffee earlier because I was annoyed.

First, I arranged the things I had on the table. Someone placed a paper bag on my table unexpectedly, which astonished me. I looked up at the person in front of me. I raised my eyebrows.

“Don’t go downstairs, I’ve already had your food delivered,” he told me. His face did not look that awful anymore. Perhaps he and his girlfriend were already okay now, and he was in a good mood.

“I don’t like that. I’ll buy you whatever you want,” I said seriously.

“I bought your favorite food,” he said. I rolled my eyes at him.

“You probably heard what I said. I don’t like that. I want to be the one buying my food. Can you Mr. Romano stop being bossy with me? Yes, you're the boss here, I may remind you. It's lunch break time, so stop being bossy with me for now,” I warned him. Leonardo laughed uncontrollably at what I said.

“What’s so funny about what I said?” I responded in anger. He smirked.

“I’m just wondering about your behavior. You're always in a bad mood. And you are always annoyed, but when we're in bed, you just want to swallow my lips. You even moan,” my cheeks almost became scarlet at what he said. My gaze switched to the other side.

“Could you, Mr. Romano, I’m not kidding!” my voice grew louder.

“I’m not kidding either. I’m just telling the truth, and I’m just curious about your behavior towards me. Weird,” he remarked, his gaze full of questioning.

I didn’t move, uncertain what else to say. I left him. I was ready to enter the elevator when he grabbed my arm.

“What?!” I complained.

“Whether you like it or not, you’re going to eat with me. That’s final!” he pulled me into his office. This dude is annoying and quite controlling. I have nothing to do but obey his wishes. Arguing with him is tiring.

He locked the door. Then I couldn’t get out since the door would automatically lock even if I opened it. Because I still needed to utilize the key.

My eyes nearly burned with rage. I sat on the sofa. I just calmly observed the man I despised. He’d already made our meal. My stomach was growling. My baby inside my womb was starving.

“Here’s your food. Eat!” he said. I snatched the plate. I ate quietly. I did not glance at him. I might lose my appetite. My struggle with Leonardo was over when I finished my food.

“I’m going back to my table,” I explained. I looked at him. He stared at me. He didn’t even flinch at what I said.

“Open the door. I’m going to the CR,” I said, growling at him.

“Why not? We always exchange saliva when we kiss. What’s so disgusting about that?” He flashed a grin. He felt great after stamping on my face. His words were quite offensive. I was aware of this, but I should refrain from making such statements. I stood up because I couldn't win against him.

Despite my doubts, I used his toothbrush. I washed it well. I was very annoyed. I was about to leave when Leonardo entered. He took the toothbrush and applied toothpaste to it. He looked at me as he brushed his teeth. He even winked at me. I rolled my eyes on him. He thought I would be delighted with his wink.

Fortunately, the door was open. I went outside. I walked to my desk and completed my work. Leonardo had a busy schedule. He was constantly canceling meetings. Ever since his Italian girlfriend arrived. I was annoyed by that woman. What did Leonardo like about that slim woman? I felt sick as I imagined her in front of me.

Speaking about the devil. Why is this woman here again? Leonardo will undoubtedly cancel his meeting again today. I was angry because the reports I was preparing would be messy again. I frowned. She just walked straight into Leonardo’s office. I sighed deeply. I pulled a snack from my bag because these two people had made me hungry.

Rosa, please give Sir Leonardo this finance report. He needs it.” I grimaced. I did not want to go there.

“Why me? You’re the one holding it, so give it to him.” I smirked.

“You’re the Secretary. I was just ordered to give it to you,” she told me. I threw her a bitter look as she turned away from me, and all I could do was hand over the document to my boss. When I came inside, I was chewing the food I was eating. I did not bother knocking. I don’t care if I see anything nasty inside.

“Sir Romano, this is the report you requested from the finance department,” I told him. I was uneasy with him. He embraced his slim girlfriend in his arms. What might be special about her? She’s so skinny. Perhaps if there were a dog around, the dog would chase her.

“Put it on my table,” he said, not looking at me. They were looking at his malnourished girlfriend.

“Okay!” I responded, but in a loud tone. I turned around to leave, but before I could, Leonardo said something.

“I promise, babe, I’m coming with you to Italy.”

This is the moment I have been waiting for. I’ll leave you, Leonardo. I’ll make sure you don’t see us anymore.
