"Wh-what?" I replied, completely shocked! I was even doubting my ears!

"Yes, Ava, you heard right. We are going to Rome for three days and no, your ears are completely fine." Sebastian responded without even looking at me, making me blush in embarrassment. I can't believe I said the ear thing out loud.

Why would he take his personal assistant with him for a business trip. I mean what will I even do there.

"Umm, do I need to come with you? I mean it's a business trip, what will I do there?" I asked with a little bit of courage, making him stop eating and look at me with a glare. Oops.

"Do you think I will be that stupid to let you stay here all alone while I'm abroad doing business?" Sebastian asked, narrowing his eyes at me. Does he care about me?

"But I'm not going to be alone, Mia will be here. Besides there needs to be someone at the office to take care of the paperworks." I responded, trying to convince him to let me stay. I don't know why I'm trying this much not to go with him. If there were someone else in my shoes, she would have jumped at the opportunity. I don't know if I'm scared or there's something more to it. Gosh, I'm so confused.

"I am not comfortable leaving you here with anyone, be it Mia." Sebastian said adamantly. "And speaking of paperworks, there are other people who will perform your tasks while you're not around. So, you're coming with me. End of discussion."

God, I have one hell of a stubborn boss.

Just when I was about to say something, his phone went off, silenting me.

"What the fuck Gio!" Sebastian barked at the person who I presume is Gio and banged his fist on the table making me jump. "How the fuck is this possible? You were supposed to take care of things until I come tomorrow!" Sebastian said, raging with anger. Boy, this man swears a lot! "Don't give me these fucking explanations Gio! I'm coming over right now!" Sebastian responded furiously before hanging the phone. He was gripping the phone so hard that it might even break.

"We're going to Rome right now." Sebastian said making my eyes go wide.

"What? Now? But I don't have my passport and I still haven't packed my things and Mia, I need to inform her." I replied, hyperventilating a bit.

"All of your concerns will be resolved. We need to go, now." Sebastian said urgently, while taking a hundred dollar bill and placing it on the table. I feel slightly bad for not meeting Olivia and telling her how delicious the food was.

"Okay." I responded, getting up from my seat and going by his side.

Once we got in the car, Sebastian ordered Ethan to take us to the airport.

The ride to the airport was absolutely quiet, to the point where you could hear a pin drop. The only sound that could be heard was that of typing sounds that were emitted from Sebastian's phone. I wonder what might have happened. I don't want to ask him now, I'll let him cool down first and then will ask him.

Half an hour later, we reached the airport. A young handsome man who wore a dark suit was waiting for us by a car. He was gorgeous but not as gorgeous as Sebastian. He flashed me a smile once Sebastian and I got out of the car making me go scarlet. I bet Sebastian saw this because almost immediately, he wrapped his arms around me, pulling me close to him.

"Here is the passport of Miss Wilson." The man handed over my passport to Sebastian.

"Thank you Gio. I'll see you in Rome tomorrow and keep me updated of whatever is happening." Sebastian responded curtly before pulling me along towards the plane.

My mouth were opened once I saw the huge plane in front of me named "The Salvestro."

"I-Is this your plane?" I asked, totally flabbergasted at the sight in front of me.

"This is one of my planes, darling." Sebastian replied, smirking widely at me, making me go red with embarrassment. "It's weird you don't know that." He went on.

"Well, I don't know almost anything about you." I responded truthfully looking down.

"I'm glad you don't know anything about me, mio cara." Sebastian smiled at me, one of his rare genuine smiles. It was so beautiful to watch. I can't believe that this man was so handsome. I swear, God took all his time to carve his beauty. "I'd prefer you know me by yourself and not by magazines or by the social media." I nodded at his pleasant response.

"Let's go and crack this deal." Sebastian said, full of motivation.

Once we got in the plane, I was totally amazed by the sophistication of this plane. It was totally majestic. I never thought I would ever sit in a first class plane.

"Are you okay?" Sebastian asked, taking a seat next to me.

"Yes." I said looking through the space towards the ground. We just took off and the scenery was absolutely breathtaking.

"Is it the first time you're flying?" Sebastian asked, taking two glasses of which I'm thinking is champagne and handing one to me.

"Yes." I replied sheepishly, making his eyes go wide. I nearly laughed at his reaction. He was looking to cute.

"We will need to rectify that." I heard him mutter. "Once we're done with this deal, we'll go to London." Did I just hear right? Did he just say London?

"Yes, Ava. You heard right once again." Sebastian laughed.

"Why would you want to take me to London? And why do you care so much that I haven't travelled before in my entire life?" I guess the champagne was making me more brave. I noticed Sebastian's eyes grew darker and more furious but I needed answers. Why does he care so much, especially for his PA.

"I'm just being a considerate boss." Sebastian answered through gritted teeth. "There's no need to get your hopes high." He snapped.

Ouch!

"Noted, Sir." I responded, now angry at him and looked outside. I heard him sigh heavily.

"Ava?" I heard him say after a while.

"Ava?" He said my name again but I refused to acknowledge him.

"Ava, if you don't answer right now, I'm taking you over my shoulders and spank you." He said, with a hint of irritation. Haa, as if he'll be able to do that! But he doesn't know that I don't respond to fake threats.

As if hearing my thoughts, I felt him grab my arms and in a second my belly was facing his shoulders with my behind in the air.

"I never make fake threats, darling!" Sebastian said, and true to his word, he did slap me hard on my behind making me shriek.

I can't believe I once again said my thoughts out loud.

"Put me down, Sebastian!" I yelled, slapping his back, wishing that this will have an effect on him.

"So you think, your little angelic hands will make me put you down? In your dreams, mio cara." Sebastian responded, with a smirk.

He thinks my hands are angelic.

"How can I convince you to put me down?" I asked, defeated.

"Hmm, let me think," God, my boss can me a pain in the ass and once again, I felt another spank on my behind making me yell again. Don't lie to yourself Ava, you're enjoying this pleasurable pain so much, my subconscious added. Gosh, even she is a pain in the ass. "There are a few things that you can do, but we'll keep that for later." I heard Sebastian say breaking my thoughts. What things now?!

"Okay, I promise to do anything you ask me to do." I said quickly, wanting to get away from this position.

"Anything?" He asked, confirming my question.

"Yes, anything." I responded, desperate to get away.

"Okay. I'll remember your promise, Miss Wilson." Sebastian said once he took me off his shoulders. Once I was standing, I felt slightly dizzy, making Sebastian hold me in place.

"What just happened?" I asked him, slightly annoyed at his stunt.

"Just a little show of what might happen to you the next time you refuse to listen to me. And next time, I won't be this gentle." Sebastian warned making my eyes go wide.

"Okay, so let's pretend, I don't listen to you next time, what will you do, huh?" I asked gaining much more confidence. Thank you champagne.

Sebastian chuckled lightly, shaking his head and wrapped his arms around my waist, bringing me closer to me. "Then my dear AvaGrace, I'll make sure to spank and then fuck you so hard that you can't walk for a whole week."

Oh my God! This little description has got me so excited that I want not to listen to him.

"You need to sleep. We'll reach Rome in two more hours." Sebastian said, still smirking at me.

"There's no bed." I responded not knowing what else to do making him laugh heartily.

"Oh my Ava! What will I do with you?" He kept on laughing. "Come, let's take you to bed."

He wrapped his hand around mine and opened a door. Indeed there was a bed inside. It was like a hotel room.

"What about you?" I asked feeling slightly concerned. It'll be unfair that I'm sleeping while he's still working.

"What about me?" He repeated my words.

"You should sleep as well." I replied making him smile.

"I'll come and join you in a while." Sebastian said, pecking me on my forehead making my stomach flutter.

"Okay." I responded quietly, making my way to the bed.
