WINNIE'S POV

"Papa"

I heard again from the kid. I felt my whole world crashing down on me. I never knew Enzo was married talk less of having a kid, he has a family? I feel like i will burst into tear any moment from now.

"Mr Salvador it's nice meeting you, I'm sorry traffic was crazy" it was then i noticed two other men have joined us.

I should get going" i was barely audible. I tried to put the kid on his feet but he clung tight onto me and burst into a new round of tears.

𝘖𝘩 𝘯𝘰

"Hey, please can you look after him until we are done with the meeting?" The young man that was there with Enzo said, come to thing of it....he looks so much like Enzo he also has the same hazel eyes like Enzo.

"Tesoro, please take care of him till we get back, Si?"

" Okay" i went into his office without saying anything else. I couldn't even look at him.

I sat on my chair with the kid straddling me.

"Hey little man" i said quietly. He look at me and my heart broke again

"What is it?"

"I heard Papa telling Grandma he won't give me candy for the whole month" he sniff i knew the tears was about to come back. But wait a minute he is this sad over a candy?

"Hey it's totally okay, it must be for an important reason. Its just for a month very soon you will get as much candy as you want."

"Are you sure?" He asked in his cute baby voice

𝘈𝘸𝘸

"Yes baby, now stop crying, big boys don't cry, yeah?"

"Okay"

"So now tell me your name little man"

"Luca"

"You have a beautiful name, i love your name"

"Thank you" he blushed

"How old are you?"

" I am 2 but almost 3" he grinned

"Wow you're really a big boy but i will keep calling you my little man" i push the hair on his face backwards. I couldn't stop smiling at him.

"Well i am Winnie and I'm 20 almost 21"

"You're also a big girl" He giggles

We spent the rest of our time talking and laughing. I order food too so we ate. He slept off in my arms while watching a cartoon with my phone, i continued with my work on the computer. And that was how they found us....Luca asleep in my arm while i used the other hand to type on the computer.

"Wow this is a miracle" the young man that looks like Enzo said surprised, it was only him and Enzo in the office i think the other two left.

"I'm sorry for the trouble, he is not usually like this, infact he doesn't like strangers". The young man said.

" It's okay mr..."

"Oh call me Cosimo" he smiled he has a cute dimple like Luca and Enzo.

"It's okay Cosimo i had a fun time with him, btw I'm Winnie"

"Thank you, let me get him" I gave him Luca

"We will get going now talk to you later bro, it was nice meeting you Winnie" Enzo went to Cosimo and kissed Luca's forehead.

"Take care" He said to them. Cosimo left the room and the tension came in.

I went back to work not acknowledging Enzo's presence. After sometime i went and got him coffee as usual. I place the mug on the table without saying anything and went back to my sit.

After work i didn't wait for him to see me off like he usally does, i went straight to the parking lot. I opened my car door but it was slammed shut.

"What is going on Tesoro?" That question alone brought back the melancholy.

"I'm going home sir" i mumbled

"Sir? Amore mio please tell me what i did wrong, you are clearly mad at me" he begged.

"Nothing sir, you're my boss so i don't have the right to get mad at you or....."

"Stop stop, don't call me sir again it's Enzo for you okay?" He was stern and
serious. I nodded

"Now tell me" i stayed quiet for a while then decided to just get it over with.

"You have a child" it was almost a whisper i shut my eyes tightly to keep my tears from dropping.

"What? What do you mean?"

"Luca"

"Luca? Oh....no Luca isn't mine"

𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵?

"He is my nephew, Cosimo is my younger brother" he frowned

"Was that why your were upset? You thought he is mine?" I am so embarrassed right now earth please up and swallow me, i face palmed internally.

"Were you Jealous of my inexistent baby mama? " he grinned like a fool.

"Shut up im going home" i opened the car but he shut it again.

"I have something important to tell you, i have been thinking abou it for a long time now. I don't have the best words to say it as this is my first time doing this"

"Are you okay? Is there something wrong with you? Please you're scaring me just tell me"

"I like you"

"Oh okay....i like you too, yeah we are friends"

"Merda that's not what i mean"

"What do you mean then"

"I'm in love with you since you stepped into that room for interview you had my heart. I love you so much Winnie Martins that it hurts not being close to you, please be my girlfriend"

"Say something baby" he looks a little nervous.

"I don't know Enzo, you're my boss what will people say, there's also a huge age gap between us"

"I don't care, i just want you. Don't you feel the same way"

"I do but...." I was cut off by his lips on mine ....it's not my first kiss but its the first to give me butterflies and toe curling bliss, he taste like cocoa. I don't want this to end but i gotta breath.

"Please be my woman"

"Si" i smiled. He kissed me again and hugged me tight grinning.

"Thank you so much you just made the happiest man alive" i smiled

"I will give you a ride home, you're not driving" he called his drive and gave him my keys with instruction to drive it to the penthouse.

On our way home we talked and agreed to keep it private for the time being. He laced his fingers through mine on the whole ride.

"Goodnight Enzo" i was about to open the door but he stopped me.

"Aren't you forgetting something"

"Um...no I'm with my phone and everything" i said checking my handbag. He sighed

"My Kiss Tesoro" i leaned closer to peck his lips but he deepened the kiss. He bite my bottom lips and squeezed my hip. I pulled out for air.

"Now i can sleep peacefully" grinned like a teenage boy in love. I chuckled.

"Goodnight Enzo" i peck his lips once again.

"Goodnight baby" he waited for me to get into the building before driving off.

After bathing and doing my nightly routine. I threw myself on the bed then i remembered i haven't checked my phone for hours.

I had 2 notification one from Enzo saying 'Goodnight Tesoro' and the other one is from my Dad checking on me and asking me to call when i can.
