Son of The Mafia Boss

Twelve

"Can i ask you something?

Curiousity won over Reda and she couldn't contain herself from asking, she also knows the owner of these resort has an Italian blood. Maybe Axel is related to them, and if they were relatives it would be at her advantage having the owner Mr. Alexander Brussel treating her as a part of his family. And specially her Dad who works for the man in quite a long time.

"How are you related to the owner of this resort?

Axel didn't answer her first question yet and her she is asking him another one.

His blue eyes turned cold, the expression on his face changes into something she couldn't comprehend. The little smile that was playing on his lips faded.

"Coincidence, maybe".

He looked away and stand up from the couch that they were sitting. His well muscular back turned away from her. Taut muscles fitted in a pale blue short sleeve polo shirt. His white shorts hugged that sexy manly a*s where her eyes stopped. But she can feel him being distant all of a sudden and she wondered why. She moved back her eyes on the paper that she was reading.

According to the contract, travel expenses, food and beverages in the whole duration of one month is paid by him as her employer. She also has to serve as his translator from tagalog to English in some occasions that he would ask her to come. She's both a tour guide, a translator and a chaperone. She blinked many times when she noticed the amount he's willing to pay her after their contract is finished. A small gasped escaped her lips.

There is also a short note down the paper who caught her full attention. She's not allowed to talk to anyone regarding the job she did for this one full month. Names and identities of the people linked to Mr. Axel Brussel and the man himself is strictly should not be known to other individuals aside from her.

"Is this for real?..

She asked hastily with her brows furrowed. Axel turned towards her, towering in his six foot three height. Making her small in her seat.

"It is genuine and if you happen to sign the contract but failed to do everything that is written. There would be consequences".

His voice cold and precised, it was crystal clear. Red felt a little hesitant, but she thought if she wouldn't tell her father then their should be no problem. She sucked in her breath and hold the pen in her right hand. She scribbled the letters above her written name. 

Axel felt triumphant while looking at her, head down on the piece of paper she's signing. When she finished he voiced out something he wanted to say to her.

"Good choice Red. Now let me show you to your room, and you can take the driver later to get your stuff from your place".

Axel held his hand to help her move up from the chair she was sitting.

Red set aside the papers and documents after that, she looked up at him. She felt her heart throbbed because of the smile that's painted across his handsome face. She lowered her eyes to his hands that's in front of her. It is just a friendly invitation to help her up, so she accepted it by giving her small soft palm.

His hand is big and warm. Axel pulled her up from the seat she's sitting. The distance between the two of them got narrowed when she stood in front of him. Axel moved backwards and took the spiral stairs made of wood with black steel railings as handles.

She followed him and they walked in to a short corridor with two bedroom doors. Axel opened the first door.

"So this is your room. As you can see we have one common balcony".

He motioned towards the glass doors leading into a wide balcony facing the vast ocean. One double size bed with a regular dresser is what's inside her room aside from the walk in cabinet. The room is comfy with the walls painted in soft gray and lilac sheets and cover for her bed. She smiled at herself.

"Oh, this is nice". Red walked towards the balcony and looked at the wonderful view of the ocean waves. She loves the scene of the water rising and falling while trying to cover the wide sandy beach.

"This place has only two bedrooms. We each have our own toilet and baths. One master's bedroom which I occupied and this one, I'm glad you liked it".

Axel followed her outside the balcony, his hands relaxed while holding into the insides of his pockets. He also keep his eyes on the view in front of them. They could smell the salty water in the air. She looked back at him, and noticed how his unusually long hair is playing with every blew of the wind. She wondered how he's beauty is as enchanting as the view that's in front of them.

Axel moved his gaze to meet her eyes. She smiled at him to hide the obvious stare she was giving while he is not looking. She wanted to ease the tension in between them.

Axel arched one brow.

"Have you had breakfast?

"Y-yes, i had with my Dad". Her eyes softened, Red's mind went back to the conversation she had with her Dad this morning.

"Is grandma ok Dad? 

Her father stopped in the middle of putting plates in the table. The moment Red wakes up, she noticed her grandmother not coming back from the check up at the hospital that she went to the night before. Her grandpa took her grandma because of a pain she'd been enduring while using the bathroom. They all thought it was just a urinary track infection.

"Unfortunately no Red, i am going there today because of your grandpa's request. He needs me to be there when the doctor gives the final analysis".

Red furrowed her brows and decided not to continue eating. She had just lost her appetite.

"Why? What does Nana's sickness that she needs to be confine in the hospital? 

"That's what we are going to find out Red, come to the hospital when you are done with that job interview you are telling me about last night. Your Nana needs us in the hospital."

"Ok Dad, as long as i finished. I will surely follow you there, i do hope Nana will be fine".

His Dad took a deep breath and continued sitting at their dining table to eat his food. 

After a while he then stand up from the table and looked at her.

"I'll be heading out first Red, take care and do well on your interview".

"Sure Dad,,take care too".

He bent his head down to give her a peek in the cheeks before he went to the door and leaved.

"Oh, I hope you're Dad is ok with the idea of you working in for some foreigners". His manly voice cut her thoughts away from her family situation.

"He is fine, he trusts me and this is not the first time I worked as a tour guide".

She's telling the truth about these as not her first time getting a tour guide job but what she is unsure about is if her Dad would agree to let her work as a stay in with her employer. Specially that her boss is a man and a foreigner too.

And he is not just a man, he is a sexy and a handsome man. She doesn't want to remind herself of that little incident on their first meeting. That memory of him made her cheeks burn and she can't stop thinking about it during the last few days.

"Really? That's good then".

Axel walked back inside the room and she trailed behind him.

"I'll show you my room".

He murmured softly that she felt her heart beats uneven at the sound of him talking about showing her his own bedroom. There is something intimate about it.

They stopped outside the next door and he opened it. The room was twice as big as the first one. The bed is king sized. It's in luxury comforters and sheets in a soft blue color. The creased on the side made her guess the spot where he slept on the night before. The furnitures around are almost the same like the first bedroom, only this one has a bigger bed and has a masculine color.

"I'll be keeping my door open when you stay here so that you can come in and out as you pleased.”

Her mouth went wide at the words he just told her.

"Oh, no.no sir. i mean, I'm just a tour guide alright. No monkey business".

She imposed on the word to make it clear that she only came here for the job. Axel gave an amused expression.

"I didn't meant anything bad when i see my bedroom door is open for you anytime. It is because i may have some papers here that i need you to write in tagalog using the laptop and printer. This things are just available here in my room".

He pointed at a small office table at the corner. Somewhere with a bunch of office supplies and a laptop with a printer that he uses.

"I didn't thought you have a dirty mind il mio amore".(my love)

He followed his words with a soft chuckle.

She blushed and tried hard to shake her awkward feelings in the air.

"I- thank you for making things clear Mr. Brussel".

"Axel, call me that. I hope you can get comfortable by calling me in my first name".

He walked closer to where she is standing, Red took few steps backwards. He stopped few inches infront of her. She could feel her back hitting the wall of the room.

"Yes sir, i mean Axel".

"Good!

He moved his right hand to removed the few strands of hair that went out of place in her soft cheeks. He took the strand with his thumb and pointer finger to tucked it behind her ear. Red froze and held her breah, his actions excites and thrills her, the part where his fingers touched seemed to burn. His eyes hypnotizing her and she could feel the danger by just looking at them.

Her gaze went down from his blue eyes to his elegant nose and into his soft red lips. It looked moist and kissable. She suddenly felt her throat dry, her mind secretly wished that he would bent down his head and kissed her.

"My driver is waiting outside, go ahead and come back with your things Red".

"Oh!..

ok sir! I mean Axel." She stammered and moved her legs sideways. To get away from the awkward situation. His presence have dulled her mind.

She went straight at the door of the bedroom. Without looking back, she knows his eyes are following behind her. 

While Axel crossed his arms crossed his chest, he kept asking himself why he is drawn to such innocent face.
