Chapter 96: THIS WOMAN IS TEASING ME!

"Sooo... back to business," Sofia continued, diverting her gaze to the tablet connected to the projector screen. She swiped her finger across the tablet-screen, displaying multimedia content on the projector screen for everyone to see. She began explaining further for better comprehension while the employees followed along with the visible projector screen. She proceeded to display a slideshow of graphs accompanied by pictures, saying, "We've been receiving numerous complaints about the hotel's customer service and low ratings from the customers..."

Her words faded in Leonardo's ears, as he wasn't paying as much attention as the rest of the employees. He was worried that Isabella is yet to arrive at work, and it had been bothering him so much that she hadn't sent a respond to his request yet.

Leonardo grabbed his phone from the table and started sending her a series of messages, expressing his frustration over her failure to send the documents he requested. Although the documents weren’t important to him, it was a smart move to piss her off, but at the same time, he had to be sure she was alright or hadn't gotten into any accidents, as he knew fully well how clumsy and stupid she is to him. "Is she still at home?" he pondered. "She better not be," he muttered under his breath.

Checking the text-messages he sent to her, he saw that Isabella had viewed his texts without responding, and he could sense that she must be annoyed by his excessive text-messages. He continued to message her to be sure she was still alive or maybe dead, which he found more preferable to her ignoring him.

Frustrated, Leonardo dropped his phone down on the desk, feeling restless. He needed to keep himself distracted from thoughts of her, so he reluctantly forced himself to listen and focus more on the annoying speech Sofia was giving.

"If we could increase our prices by 80%, I believe we would generate more revenue and budget higher funds than most other hotels, given our top-ranking position and high demands of people wanting to be lodged here," She explained. Sofia shifted her gaze from the projection screen to Leonardo. "So, what do you think, sir?" Sofia asked, referring to Leonardo.

'I think you should just shut the fuck up', Leonardo said inwardly, pissed that Sofia didn't want to round up her goddamn speech and get the hell out of his sight.

"Sir?" Sofia called, snapping him out of his thoughts.

"Just get straight to the point," Leonardo curtly responded. "What strategies do you propose? What operational changes? What will enhance our customer service? And what the fuck do you have to offer?" He interrogated her and continued, "Go on, explain or say something useful rather than seeking the attention you don't deserve," he added curtly, returning his gaze back to his phone.

Sofia felt angry and highly embarrassed, realizing that he wasn't paying attention to her presentation despite her efforts to impress him with her speech. Looking around, she noticed some of the employee trying to hold back their laughing and some already grinning from ear to ear. She bit her lower lips, trying had to control her rage before she went on once again with her presentation.

Leonardo received a text-message notification in his phone from Isabella and he didn’t hesitate to tap on it. He picked his phone up from the desk as it revealed a photo in view once. ‘Is she kidding me?’ he questioned inwardly. ‘I asked for a document not a photo’ he added as the message stated it was a deleted photo yet he could still see it. He had no intention to view the photo before, but seeing that it had been deleted by her made him eager to know what it was. He tapped on the download button in the photo before he could open it.

Just as the photo revealed itself, his eyes widened to his greatest surprise. The photo that appeared on his phone screen was of a large bust encased in a white-spotted black bra. Even without seeing the lady's face, he knew it was Isabella's boobs.

His face flushed red, and he could feel his body heat up as he stared at the photo. “Fuck, this woman is teasing me!" He muttered unconsciously and quickly slammed his phone down on the desk before he could completely lose his mind because of her. It was just a photo of a woman's cleavage, yet his body was reacting so intensely! "Why did she send me this?" he questioned, lost in thought.

Sofia stopped her speech as she noticed Leonardo’s discomfort. "Sir, is there any problem?" Sofia asked in concern.

Leonardo looked up, sensing every eyes on him. He realized he had said something unprofessional because of Isabella's explicit photo, and it had caught people’s attention towards him. He glanced down at his pants, he was already getting hard for that slutty bitch of a secretary. Who knows if this was part of her plan for revenge on him? ‘Fuck’, he cursed inwardly. ‘She’s so gonna get punished for this’, He added. He was so eager to leave before his cock become noticeable hard in his pants.

"The meeting is over," Leonardo abruptly declared, picking up his phone and rising from the chair.

"But sir," Sofia protested, attempting to explain how crucial this meeting was for the company, but Leonardo cut her off.

"Cancel the meeting!" Leonardo stated curtly, with finality in his tone. “I have something real important to attend to," he said, turning to look at Sofia. “Tell Isabella to see me at my office urgently”, He instructed before leaving the conference room and heading to his office.

Sofia had no idea what made Leonardo to abruptly call off the meeting, but whatever it was, she sensed that, "Isabella so busted," Sofia muttered with a malicious sneer on her face. She turned to the employees, who were mumbling among themselves, most likely gossiping about why Leonardo had suddenly canceled the meeting and why he is requesting for the secretary.

Sofia rolled her eyes. "You’ve all heard him right, people! Get the hell out of here!" Sofia yelled, prompting everyone to pick up their belongings from the desk and began scurrying out of the board-room. "I wonder what that bitch did right now that caused me my spotlight", she mused with a clenched fist and gritted teeth. She was never going to get the kind of attention she got today from Leonardo, and it angers her so much. "And you". She pointed at the man still seated behind the door. "Get off the floor, you oldie!" She commanded angrily.

"But the boss didn't instruct me to stand until the secretary arrives," the man responded timidly.

"If you prefer having the door slammed in your face by everyone, feel free to stay seated," Sofia snapped back ignorantly, and the man promptly rose from the floor, driven by fear. "Idiota," she muttered in Italian under her breath and watched as everyone left the office, one by one. She spotted Isabella approaching the conference room from the side and smirked. "Just who I was waiting for," she said, then moved toward the entrance, pushing Isabella away from the door as she exited the room. A satisfied grin adorned her lips as Isabella stumbled backward and bumped her back against the wall. "Now that's what she deserves," she uttered with a devilish grin.
