His Identity

“Darling, how lovely to see you”, Rita faked a smile as she hugged him.

Rodrigo stood at a corner, his hands fisted at the back of him. He hated to see her with a man who didn’t give a shit about her.

“What took you so long to get the door, I’ve been knocking for a long time”, Edmundo said.

He walked in without any care in the world like the pompous man he was. Rodrigo remained where he stood, watching the scene before him.

“Sorry, I was in the inner office going over an important file”, she lied smoothly.

“Ma’am, I shall take my leave now”, Rodrigo said.

“Oh, I’m sorry for keeping you waiting. Thank you, you may go. Please pick me up at the close of the day, thank you”, she said.

Rodrigo nodded, leaving but not without giving her a wink unbeknownst to Edmundo who was facing the other side.

Rita smiled, watching him leave. She shuddered when she remembered she was here alone with Edmundo.

“Would you like anything to drink darling?”, she asked.

“You know Rita, I really don’t like your chaffeur”, Edmundo said.

She stopped abruptly on her way to the liquor cabinet. She didn’t understand what he was saying and only prayed it was a completely different thing.

“Whatever do you mean?”, She asked.

“He has this leering look in his eyes, you should be careful of him. In fact, I suggest you terminate his employment here”, he said

Rita couldn’t understand how someone could be so selfish and heartless. There was no way she was going to do that. She was the President of the Anderson group and she wouldn’t stand here and allow him dictate how she was to run the organization.

“Rodrigo isn’t like that, trust me. If you get to know him, you’ll see that you’re wrong”, she said, pouring a drink in a glass cup.

“Easy for you to say. Since it seems you’re so close to him”, he mumbled, taking a sip of his drink.

Rita had a good mind to spill her drink on his face, she couldn’t stand how insolent and insensitive he was.

“Yes, I’m close to him and that’s because he’s under my pay and if you do not like it Edmundo I suggest you deal with it”, Rita said.

She was tired of his childish habit, a habit she found disgusting. Edmundo stared at her, a mischievous look in his eyes.

He placed his drink on a nearby table, moving towards her. Rita took a step back, she knew that look on his face but she wasn’t ready for anything he wanted to do.

“You know, you’re looking gorgeous by the way”, he said, wrapping his hands around her.

Rita likened his hands to those of an octopus about to catch it’s prey, his eyes were sleazy and she knew that if she didn’t act fast, he would have her in his hold.

He kissed her as she fought the urge to gag. She didn’t like him touching her but she didn’t know how she could stop him.

“Edmundo, I’ve got a lot of work to catch up on. Can we do this later?”, Rita said, giving him a sugary sweet smile

“I’ll take that as a promise”, he said, kissing her before leaving her office.

“Fat chance”, Rita said, settling in her desk.

She rung Matthew once again to give him the information but this time around, she communicated what she had to say through the intercom. It was a risk she was willing to take. When she was done with this, she settled down to read the new file Yasmin had just faxed to her.

It was an invitation to the opening of a restaurant from one of their major investors and it would be taking place in Los Angeles this weekend.

The Andersons were major shareholders of this company and they couldn’t afford to miss this grand opening. Rita sent off a message, acknowledging her attendance. When she sent it off, a thought passed through her mind.

She would leave Yasmin here to take care of the ground work. After all, the girl was really good at what she does while she takes Rodrigo. He was a chaffeur and she reasoned that he should accompany her since he doubled as her personal guard.

The problem she faced now was how to tell Edmundo this. No doubt, he would look for every avenue to stop their going together and that was something Rita tried to avoid. Right there and then, she made up her mind not to inform him. After all, when he goes frolicking with some of those prostitutes, he never told her. She made up her mind to do this, he wasn’t the boss of her and there was absolutely nothing he could do even when he finds out that they went together.

Later on, at the close of the day, Rita was putting the final touches to her work when a knock distrupted her thoughts. She ushered the person in without looking up. When the scent of a familiar cologne hit her, she looked up to see Rodrigo standing there with a grin.

“It’s closing time ma’am and I’m at your service”, he smiled.

Rita left her table, throwing her hands around him. Rodrigo shut the door with his foot, he couldn’t be so sure about someone not seeing them.

He kissed her, reveling in the taste and pleasure her lips gave. Her body fit perfectly to his and he blessed the day he applied to be her chaffeur.

“Okay, we should really go”, Rita said, breathlessly.

Rodrigo smiled, carrying her to the edge of the table. He placed her on the edge and she was again attacked get with kisses. Rita moaned, loving how hard yet soft he was.

“You’d be the death of me”, Rodrigo said when they finally broke away.

“No, you’ll be with your insatiableness”, she laughed.

“How was work today?”, he asked, toying with the button on her blouse.

“It was fine lover boy, how was yours?”.

“Boring without you but I know as far as I’m in the same building with you, I can manage”.

“Rodrigo, I want to ask you something”, Rita said, pulling him closer with his tie.

“Go on lover girl”, he smiled.

“Would you go with me to Los Angeles?”, she asked.

She held her breath as she waited for his reply. She didn’t know if her question sounded offensive and she hoped he wouldn’t get angry over her insensitivity.

“I’d love to but my mother, she has no one to take care of her except me”, he said.

“I thought about that and it’s all sorted out. I’ve hired one of our most trusted maids to take care of her for how long we’d stay. Trust me Rodrigo, your mother is in safe hands”, she said, stroking his face.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“Thank you, you really don’t know what this means to me”, he said, cupping her face.

“It’s nothing. One of our investors is opening a multi class restaurant and they’ve requested my presence and I thought of you”, she smiled.

“You really can’t do without me. It’s great to know that I have a pretty woman falling head over heels for me”, he chuckled.

“You pompous man”, she said, smacking his chest. “And yes, if you must know, I can’t do without you. I love you”, she said.

“I love you too, I love you so much that at times it hurts especially when you’re with that fiance of yours”.

“Oh Rodrigo, are you jealous?”, Rita laughed.

“I won’t even lie. Yes, I am. I don’t want to share you with anyone else, you’re mine and mine alone”, he said, drawing her closer.

By now, she could feel the bulge in his trouser and he wasn’t even making any effort to hide it. Rita smiled, happy that she had this effect on him.

“You see what you do to me right? How you affect me, that’s how my love for you is. It’s a drug that I would take for life”, he smiled.

She kissed him, happy at the sweet words he showered down on her. She wasn’t ever going to let him go. Not in this life or the next.

“Okay, I think we should really go now”, she laughed.

“Yes or else, the security would come in here since your office lights are still on”, Rodrigo laughed, helping her to her feet.

She quickly shut down her laptop, packing some of the files she would be working with at home. Rodrigo took the bags from her as they made their way downstairs.

“It sucks that I can’t touch you in public”, he groaned.

“Keep your hands to yourself while we’re in the open fiesty boy”, she chuckled.

“Even in the elevator?”.

“Yes. There are cameras all over the building well except my office, that’s off limits”, Rita said.

They got to the car soon just as the first drop of rain landed on them. Rita sighed happily, she could get used to this treatment from someone she loved.

She gripped his hands, giving it a gentle squeeze as he brought their conjoined hands together, giving it a kiss. The car drove off into the evening, heading towards her home.
