Emiliano watched as the so-called manager lady showed them all the tiny baby clothes her store could offer, to prevent getting attention from the media he suggested they go to a private baby shop and Sia agreed because she hated attention. Everything was going smoothly the day was still going and her lunch date with Tara was an hour away.
“Sir, madam this is the best quality our store can offer… you won’t find this anywhere”the lady with glasses said as she raised a few rompers and of course Emiliano being a businessman rolled his eyes because people would say anything to make their products sell. He had no idea what the little guy needed, although he despised Sia his hatred had its limit because the little guy was much cooler than his careless mom.
“Pack whatever you can, I’m so done here”Emiliano said to the manager with frustration as he adjusted his cap because many mothers who were getting baby clothes kept looking at him obviously knew him from somewhere, he glanced at Sia who was playing with Diego, and she was calm, of course she wasn’t a celebrity like him. No one would even like looking at her.
“Miss Lee, could we please come some other day… you see I’m not feeling unwell and standing here is… making me feel dizzy”Sia made up and excuse to escape the trauma, it was enough to live in the Alvaro mansion but being forced to shop for what wasn’t needed was enough.
“You don’t like anything? I assure you m… madam this is the best we can offer”the manager said desperately more like she wanted to cry and Emiliano who was leaning against the wall scrolling through his phone arched a brow, women were overly dramatic and emotional fools, he thought and averted his eyes looking elsewhere but when his eyes landed to the left, he spotted a man in black with a camera and knew what was going on. In one stride he walked to Sia and wrapped and arm around her waist catching her off guard as she flinched nearly dropping Diego, but Emiliano was fast enough to hold them both in place and whispered to her ear.
“The old lady sent someone to keep an eye on us, play alone”he said seriously as he looked up at the manager with a smile, and she smiled back, nearly blushing as her eyes met with Emiliano’s blue piercings eyes that charmed every woman out there.
“Madam, show us the best for my lovely son”he said while caressing Diego’s cheeks and Sia frowned while the lady giggled in happiness, Sia guessed Emiliano had used his beauty again to trap her not his intention, but the ladies just fell for him whenever he flirted with them.
“Get off me!” Sia said through gritted teeth seeing how he was hugging both her and Diego from behind, and he wasn’t planning to move any time soon and realizing the position he was in Emiliano scoffed and moved back.
“Here sir”the manager came back with many clothes in the basket that Sia had the urge to faint, she had no time to play around. She only had a few minutes until her sister called however she was stuck with Emiliano doing god knows what.
It didn’t take long before they had all the baby stuck they thought were what little Diego would love, Sia was now seated in the car as she waited for Emiliano to get back from paying some man who he accidentally bumped into and the values things he was carrying fell down and broke, and hence he caused a scene and demanded a huge sum of money which wasn’t even the original price for his goods. Emiliano vowed never to go in public again because he said people were nothing but opportunist who milked rich people for money.
“Never again,”Emiliano said and got in the car and slammed the door shut and gestured for Nickolas to drive, so far, it was nothing but hell for him because he was commanded to do different things at the same time.
“Can you keep it down, He’s sleeping”Sia glared at Emiliano who just made a noise and with anger Emiliano took out his phone which was ringing and answered
“Talk to me”he said as soon as he answered and waited for Trey who called him to speak and nodding a few times he cut the call and shoved his phone back in his pocket? He only had thirty minutes to get to the restaurant he was supposed to meet his client, if it weren’t important, he would have told Trey to reschedule the meeting, but that wasn’t the case, he needed to crack the deal as soon as possible.
“Nick pullover”Sia said as she looked at her phone ringing and Nickolas obeyed and stopped the car parking it by the roadside.
“And where are you going?” Emiliano asked her suspiciously and Sia just made him carry little Diego.
“This call is important wait for me”saying that she left the car, and immediately she was far away she answered in a low tone not wanting Emiliano to hear her.
“Tara, I’m on my way wait for me”Sia answered and waited for her sister to speak, and immediately they exchanged a few words Sia looked back to make sure no one was looking and stopped a taxi which was passing by and got in.
“Please take me to Food Galore please”she desperately said to the taxi driver wearing a weird cap chewing in a burger in a bad manner which Sia ignored
“Miss, it’s going to cost you double because that’s far from here”the driver said as he swallowed his burger and Sia frowned in irritation.
“Did I say I won’t pay, now step on it”her voice was heavy with authority and hearing her the driver shrugged and drove away passing the Emiliano’s car without his knowledge, and immediately they reached far did Sia exhale in relief, she knew Emiliano would take care of Diego for just fifteen minutes then she would get him back.
Emiliano waited for Sia for five minutes, and she was nowhere to be seen, even when she got out of the car to look for her, he didn’t find her.
“Damn it”he made a low curse as he looked at the baby in his arms who looked as if he was about to cry because the look little Diego had screamed, I want my mom and Emiliano had no idea where Sia ran off to, he was certain she ran from him.
“Nick, call Angelo right now”Emiliano gave his orders as he looked at his watch, and it was almost time for his meeting, how was he going to go to the meeting with a baby in his arms.
“Shh, okay now don’t cry… I’m sure the fox will come soon”Emiliano coaxed little Diego to stop crying but the more he tried to make him stop the more he cried making Emiliano anxious and miserable.
“Oh no, now what, shh champ now don’t…”he didn’t even finish when Diego burst out into cries again leaving Emiliano helpless and miserable as sweat broke on his forehead, he was now doomed all thanks to Sia.
