Chapter 128 Something strange ...
ALESSANDRO'S POV...
'She still has feelings for me, right?' He said with a brow raised, watching me with his signature smirk.
At this point, I only knew one thing, this man is not as cool as he portrays. He is way too dangerous than that. After everything that happened, he is still behind my Victoria.
At this moment, I want nothing but to punch his face. I might be good enough to give away my assets but not so kind as to let go of my wife and child.
My fists clenched tightly under the desk as I tried to keep my calm. I am here to end things peacefully and not in a dirty way. Got recovered from my miseries after a lot of struggle. Now, I don't want to be recurred in those nightmares once again.
I pushed back the brown file to him and stood up, staring deeply at the sneering guy. "Here are the documents, Dominic. Reywalt is completely yours now. But before that, I hope you could arrange a raise for Calvin for being such a loyal and computable assistant. I will inform the finance department before leaving. If you felt troubled to understand any part of it, just ask Calvin, he will let you know." I could not help the coldness in my voice.
With that, I turned around and was about to leave when I heard, "See? Now, you don't have any answer to give me, huh? Admit it Andro, she still has me in her mind and not you. You are just a shadow of mine in her life. That one replacement that looked like me..."
I felt my body stiffened. Am I too easy to be vanquished? I guess, he really didn't realise it in the counter of his ego.
I turned to face him calmly and smiled at him before leaning a little toward his desk, which was once mine.
"You are too confident, aren't you, brother? Oh, not brother! Should I say, Uncle Dominic?" I arched my brow and his expression changed visibly. I know it's triggering for him and he should have known this coming before stepping on my tail.
I did not expand the business in a short amount of time with pure deeds and innocence, of course.
My smirk deepened, as I continued, "There is always a saying, confidence is good, but overconfidence?" I shrugged shaking my head.
"Victoria stays with me and every night when she moans under me, screaming my name off her lips while begging me to never stop, it didn't seem like she was thinking something else or someone other than me," I said as if I was gone back to the time where I pleased her every time.
And then looked down at Dominic again. His face turned ugly now, which satisfied my burning soul a little. "Even this morning? Oh, that was amazing." I explained my joy and chuckled. "So, you better watch your next words. Who knows, when the arrow turns to you..." I slightly raised my brow at him and then turned around, walking out of the office before I made it uglier.
I don't want to bring Victoria anymore between us like this. She is not just a woman or a wife of mine, she is much more than that. Someone I hold so dear and admire. Saying things about her in that way isn't my style, yet, I had no choice and did something I never imagined doing.
Maybe, for some people, this is not even a thing, but for me, it's a great deal. I have hurt her in the past so much that I don't want even a dot of my past behaviour on her. She changed me for the better.
I walked out of the office and let go of a breath I didn't realise I was holding till now. It's much more refreshing outside and without his presence.
As I came out, I find Calvin sitting on his desk. Watching me, he stood up respectfully, "Do you need anything, sir?"
I smiled, walking toward him. "I won't need anything from now on, Calvin."
He blinked. "Yes, sir? I don't get it." He said in confusion, which made me smile sadly. "I mean it. I am leaving Reywalt." I said it finally.
He stared at me in a daze for some time and I chuckled. "Yeah, I am. Dominic will be the new president of the company and I hope you will work hard the same way you did for me."
"But sir, this is..." He shook his head, maybe lost for words. "I..." His lips parted and then closed.
I patted his shoulder. "I have taken my decision already, Calvin. It won't change. I didn't announce it because I want to leave silently. But, before that, I have one last thing to do. You did work hard for me and in my absence too. You deserve a raise for that. I hope that will be a little reward for you from me."
I said and turned around, leaving him slightly shocked and a little sad, maybe? As I was about to enter the lift, I heard,
"Director..." I paused and looked back only to be engulfed into a hug. I was surprised for a second before patting his back.
A Few seconds later, he let me go and his head lowered. "It was so nice working with you, sir. And..." He paused before adding, "I am sorry." He apologised, making me frown. "Sorry? For what?" I asked.
He didn't look into my eyes but kept his head lower, "For my... Irresponsible behaviours sometimes." He replied.
I don't know if he is saying the actual reason. But, whatever it is, there is no need for me to know anymore. Smiling, I patted his shoulder before entering the elevator.
I roamed my gaze to the familiar place for one last time and pressed the button of the elevator. When the door started getting closed, Calvin raised his head and our eyes met.
His face was blank and his deep brown eyes hold nothing. For a moment, I felt like something snapped there and before I could know, the elevator door closed, leaving me with curiosity.
I don't know what is that I see in him. If that is the imagination of my inquisitive mind. But, there was something that I had never seen in those eyes ...
