D R E A M

My mouth dropped to the ground at Kairo's words but quickly closed shut at the sight of his (now identified) mother smirking at me.

That awful woman was his birth giver ?

Ugh.

I scowled at her before plastering a fake smile on my face and greeting his father.

"It's nice to meet you Sir." I say shaking hands with him.

"Please call me Raphael." He says in a thick french accent before placing a kiss on my knuckles.

So Kairo is really french...whew!

"Oh and this is my wife Claire."

I give her a fake smile which she returns before
shaking her hand.

"You can keep calling me Mrs Kingston." she says through gritted teeth, maintaining a fake smile.

"Well, let's start the meeting Father." Kairo intercepts clasping his hands together.

"See you later sweetheart." Claire says before giving her husband a kiss on the cheek and doing the same with Kairo.

She gives me one last deadly glare before cat walking towards the elevator.

"Let's go amour." Kairo says before putting a hand on my lower back and walking us into a big office, his father trailing behind us.

He opens the door and my eyes widen a little bit before I internally calm myself down.

In the office, about 12 men are sat on the long conference room table having discussions but quiet down when Kairo steps into the room.

He guides me to my seat before taking his seat on the head of the table, as his father sat opposite me.

I played with my hands under the desk as I felt multiple eyes on me but kept a confident front.

"So I've gathered each company representative from each region in order to discuss the transactions and profits being made for each deal." Kairo began as his voice dripped with authority.

"Over the course of the next few days contracts will be validated with the assistance of my father and I will be deciding which 3 companies I will make alliances with based off of each proposition, so whatever happens is in the hands of each one of you." He continued, his face remanning expressionless.

"I do not care who you are or where you are coming from, you each have something to prove."

I was so hypnotised by his dominance I just wanted to crawl under the table and give him some good ass hea-

"With that being said, any questions?"

One middle aged man raised his hand.

"Yes Mr Presley."

"Could your assistant grab me a cup of coffee?" He said looking directly at me.

I raised an eyebrow at him and scoffed "Excuse me?"

"Get me a cup of coffee, or are you deaf?"

"I'm not sure if your lack of hair is starting to have an affect on your brain but I'm not an assistant I'm here as negotiator." I say keeping my tone professional.

"What?" He snapped.

"I said I'm here as a negotiator, or are you deaf?"

"A woman like you should know her place."

"I find it unbelievably unethical that you've decided to doubt my capability to do the job I've been assigned to due to your misogyny."

"If you think a little bitch like yourself actually deserves to be here you've lost your damn mind!" He seethed through gritted teeth.

"If I'm a bitch because of my diligence and assertiveness then I will be the biggest bitch you've ever met." I spat venomously.

"And that goes for anyone in this room." I say realising the silence from everyone else.

"If we're done here I'd like to excuse myself." I continue before getting up and leaving the room, angered by the heated conversation.

I walk out the room and ask one of Kairo's men to take me back to the car.

I couldn't stand to stay a second longer in this place.

I'm no longer tolerating any kind of disrespect.

_______☘︎︎♧︎☘︎︎_______

I've been sat in the car for the last 15 minutes waiting for Kairo to come down and if I wasn't pissed before I was definitely pissed now.

I had asked the driver to just take me back to the hotel room but apparently he had been given specific instructions to wait for Kairo.

I crossed my hands over my chest and sunk deeper into the leather seat at the sight of the man himself walking out of the building with his father.

The two shook hands before Kairo walked up to the car and slid into the seat next to me.

I completely ignored his presence and gazed outside the window as the car began to move.

"I know you're mad."

Duh.

I ignore him and continue staring out of the window as we drive past buildings.

He grabs my jaw tightly and turns my head to face him.

"Look at me when I'm speaking to you." He whispers through gritted teeth.

Yes daddy.

I roll my eyes and refuse to make eye contact with him.

"Listen, if it's about what happened in the office then I'm already dealing it."

"Nobody messes with my girl and gets away with it."

I bite back a smile and continue to look mad.

"But you did look sexy as fuck when you were defending yourself." He rasped pecking my lips in between each word.

"You still mad?" He asks still kissing me.

Don't give in Dream.

He continues to attack all over my face with more kisses. "You still mad Amour?"

Don't do it Dream.

I feel a grin spread across my face as he suddenly begins to tickle me. "Are you still mad?"

"No!" I finally burst out in giggles.

"That's what I thought." He says before giving me one last kiss on my lips.

I rest my head on his shoulders in defeat.

"I never knew your were french." I say playing with the rings on his fingers.

"Yeah, my parents are french but I was born and raised in New York." He explained clearly not wanting to go deeper into the subject.

"There's a lot of things we don't know about each other."

He kisses the top of my forehead "That's gonna change." He mumbled as his lips remained pressed against the top of my head.

"We're we going?" I ask looking up at him in realisation that we were not going in the direction of the hotel.

"To my parents house, they've invited us over for dinner."

Damn, a bitch can't catch a damn break.

______☘︎︎♧︎☘︎︎______

The car parked right in front of the complete epitome of a mega mansion.

We exited the car hand in hand and walked towards the front door.

Rows of foreign cars were laid across the property.

You'd think by now I would know what to expect from a family of billionaires.

We walked past the fountain in the centre and stopped by the door.

Before we could even ring the door bell, it swung open revealing an entire goddess.

She had olive skin and long brown wavy hair and I had no doubt she was some sort of model.

"Kairo!" She exclaimed before flinging herself onto him.

"I've missed you so much baby." She rasped in a sultry voice.
