His soul-Chapter 464: Affair ?

"You are sick?"

"Hmm?"

Diego smiled. "If you’re not in the mood, you don’t have to accompany me to a meeting, Gina," Diego whispered, barely audible.

Gina, who was accompanying Diego’s meeting, lowered her head. She was embarrassed to be reprimanded by Diego.

"Want me to take you out?" said Diego again offering help.

"I’m fine Diego," Gina answered quickly. "Let’s focus again, shall we?" 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Diego smiled at Gina’s words, he knew that Gina was lying. Because he didn’t want to put pressure on Gina, finally Diego returned to focus on the ongoing meeting. Diego did not want to look too aggressive. After forty-five minutes had passed, the weekly meeting was finally over. Following Diego’s work pattern really makes Gina stuck, Diego’s habit of working fast-paced makes Gina inevitably do the same thing.

"Today I have an appointment with an interior designer. They want to offer us cooperation regarding the interior appearance of our two hotels in Paris. If you want, you can come with me."

Gina, who was tidying the files, immediately turned to Diego. "Meeting outside?"

"Yeah, don’t worry, she’s a woman. More precisely, a middle-aged woman, a lot of famous hotels in Dubai have used this person’s services. That’s why I want to try to see the offer she made," Diego said slowly, explaining a little of his meeting agenda today.

"Brother, I want you to..."

"Shhh... don’t you want to keep our relationship a secret from the office staff?"

Gina immediately covered her mouth, she didn’t realize she had called Diego ’brother’ in the office. Whereas previously she herself asked Diego and his father not to tell everyone that she was part of the Sanders family.

Seeing Gina’s adorable behavior, Diego chuckled. "Well then get ready, we are leaving in thirty minutes."

"Ok," Gina answered quickly, the next second Gina immediately rushed out of the meeting room to get ready to go with Diego to meet their new business partners.

Not long after Gina left, Diego finally left the meeting room. While walking to his room, several female staff whispered behind Diego. They talked about Diego’s change in smiling more recently, they didn’t know that the reason Diego smiled more was because of Gina. The first daughter of the Sanders family and their rightful heir.

The female staff’s gossip grew even more when they saw Diego’s treatment of Gina while they were waiting for the elevator. Diego looked so gentle when he spoke to Gina. One new thing that Diego never did.

"How’s it going, Mariam? Looks like the new secretary is getting attached to the boss, how long are you going to quiet around like this?" asked a finance officer to Mariam, the assistant manager who had made it clear that she liked Diego.

"Yes Mariam, aren’t you worried if the boss falls into the new secretary’s trap? You’re still much better than that girl, Mariam."

Several other staff members also said the same thing, using provocative sentences to anger Mariam, who had been silent for a long time.

Mariam is actually not just silent, the woman is planning to expose Gina’s innocence in front of Diego. Mariam wanted to show Diego that his new secretary was a flirt, Mariam had solid evidence of this. Last week, when everyone had gone home, Mariam accidentally saw Gina getting into an expensive car in which there was already a well-dressed man whose face Mariam couldn’t see.

"Don’t worry, the female fox will soon be kicked out of the company. For now, let her be happy," Mariam said quietly.

The four female staff who stood in front of Mariam immediately shot Mariam with the same question, meanwhile Mariam just smiled a little without intending to give her friends an answer. All Mariam needed now was a little time to find clearer evidence of Gina’s rottenness. Mariam didn’t know that the owner of the car Gina was in last week was Gina’s husband, Massimo del Cano.

"Texting your husband?"

Gina smiled shyly. "Yes, I have to tell him that we have a meeting outside today."

"What a kind wife, Massimo is very lucky to have you as a wife, Gina."

"All wives out there will do the same thing as me, bro. Oh yes, who is your lover now? I heard from Daddy since breaking up with Jesslyn you have never introduced your lover to Daddy again?"

Diego chuckled. "I haven’t thought about it, the Paris project is my top priority right now, Gina. You know I’m a stepson in the Sanders family, a child brought by Julian Sanders’ ex-wife. There are a lot of people out there who underestimate me..."

" Underestimating you?" squealed Gina in disbelief.

Diego’s hands gripped the steering wheel tightly. "Yes, they looked down on me, who was only the child of Julian Sanders’ ex-wife. Especially with all my mischief in my youth, all of Paradise Grub’s business partners really looked down on me at that time. That’s why right now I want to prove to them that I can make your family business..."

"Our family, you are part of the Sanders family, bro," said Gina coldly cutting Diego’s words, the fake story that just came out of Diego’s mouth made Gina’s emotions provoked. As Diego suspected, melting Gina’s heart by bringing the Sanders surname was the right decision. "So don’t ever talk like that again, Daddy’s going to be mad."

Diego did not change his facial expression, Diego was very good at acting. Just like his mother had already played her part for almost nineteen years.

"If you want, I can ask Daddy to rebuke those who have..."

"No Gina!" cut Diego panicked. "If you do that, where are you going to put my face? People’s assessment of me will get worse," Diego said casually, Diego clearly didn’t agree with Gina’s idea. Because if Gina said that to Julian Sanders then the plan would fall apart. "Promise to keep this a secret for me, Gina."

Gina nodded slowly. "Y-yes, I promise to keep this a secret."

"Thanks Gina."

Gina didn’t answer Diego’s words, her mind was confused because she remembered Diego’s words earlier. Diego’s figure in Gina’s eyes today is completely different from the old Diego, the Diego she knows now is more responsible and mature. Getting into a lot of trouble lately has made Gina not careful, she really has been tricked and fallen into Diego’s game trap. Gina’s calculating and cautious figure was gone.

After driving for almost twenty minutes, Diego’s car finally arrived at a popular restaurant in the city center. Like a couple, Diego carefully helped Gina get out of the car.

"Let me bring the laptop, bro, you are my boss during working hours. How could I let my boss carry my things," Gina refused gently to Diego who wanted to bring the laptop in his hand.

Diego smiled. "Okay, then go inside first. I already made a reservation, so I wanted to contact Mrs. Isabel first. Looks like our business partner hasn’t arrived yet."

Without arguing, Gina entered the restaurant, a waiter who was guarding the door immediately led Gina to the table that had been ordered by Diego in advance. Gina gracefully stepped towards the table in the corner and was slightly closed because it was blocked by a giant flower vase nearby, when she just landed her buttocks on the chair Gina’s eyes widened when she saw the person who had just come out of the restaurant’s VIP room.

Massimo and Ivana joined hands right in front of Gina’s eyes, Massimo looked very carefully at Ivana who was already leaning on him. Seeing that, Gina’s body suddenly shook violently, the memory of the message that Massimo had previously sent to her fifteen minutes ago replayed in Gina’s memory. In that message Massimo clearly said he was at RedFox on important business, but right now in front of Gina Massimo’s eyes he was with another woman, the woman who had come to their house in Almeria a few weeks ago with her manager.

"W-does this mean Massimo...."
