Chapter 17 Misunderstandings

Dante

"To what do I owe your call brother." “ I answered the phone when I saw who was calling me and at this time. "Dante we have a problem."  Giancarlo wouldn't call me if there wasn't a very serious problem, especially on a Sunday night.

“What happen?” I asked somewhat uneasy about his voice. "I need you to travel to California now." “ He indicates.

“What is the problem?”

"It's Thomas."

I'm already starting to get nervous, Thomas is one of our biggest investors, we have a multi”million dollar project with him, which would generate us abysmal profits.

“He  wants to withdraw from the project.” He added.

“What the hell did you say?” I am exalted when I hear such atrocities

If I was nervous now I'm taking the shit. "Why, how did it happen? Why the hell did you just tell me Giancarlo?"

"I tried to solve it on my own Dante, but he wants to negotiate with you, he says that he will not negotiate anything if you are not present and he wants you here tomorrow." I took a deep breath, I know Thomas I know he is a fussy old man, who always wants to do his holy will.

"Okay I'll be out right now I'll be there by sunrise" I indicated cursing.

"Good brother, see you." he said goodbye by hanging up the phone.

Shit! I hit the wheel several times, damn it, I can't lose this project that my brother and I have worked so hard for.

There is also that girl who left me crazy, I arranged to have lunch with her tomorrow and talk about what happened between us, I will not let her be with another man, with anyone other than me, damn it, she is mine.

I will go to solve this and return to claim what by right belongs to me.

I will call her tomorrow now it is too late, to bother her, she will know how to understand.

Who I will call now is Iam to tell Leonardo to take care of the company in my absence, luckily I always have the two of them.

“ Dante what's wrong, something happened to you? “ Iam answered at the second tone.

“Iam calm, nothing happens, I wanted to let you know that I am traveling urgently to California, a problem has arisen there, I must go to solve it.

“ It's bad?

"It's about Thomas's project, he wants to retire, Giancarlo just informed me." I heard him growl on the other end of the line.

"Well Dante, go easy, whatever you inform me, please keep me up to date."

"I want you to tell Eva, send me the reports to the mail and call me, whatever it is and tell Leonardo that anything keeps me up to date on everything, whatever it is, please solve it." I won't be long, if I solve it I'll be back in a day or two.

"That's how Dante will be, calm down, take care of yourself, brother." “ I hang up, make another call, call my pilot.

“Pablo !!

“Mister!! Respond to the first ring. "Prepare the jet, we leave in thirty minutes for California" I indicated.

"Okay sir, I wait for you here." “ Answer, hang up and start the car.

I'm going home to pick up some clothes, almost nothing, I'm not going to stay many days, I have to be in California as soon as possible to solve this fucking question that put me in a very, very bad mood, after a wonderful night with That woman more than beautiful, who drives me crazy, I came across this problem, damn it.

At six in the morning the jet landed, Giancarlo was waiting for me, he is not with that smile that always characterized him, that worries me more, Giancarlo always welcomes me smiling, he is a son of a bitch but the best brother in the world, we always we have supported.

“Brother, it's good to have you here. "He greets me with a hug to which I correspond.

"Giancarlo !!" What time is the meeting?

"At ten, brother." “ seat. “ Well, let's go to your house, I'll take a shower and then we'll go to the company.

We went to his house, we talked a little, he told me that according to his source, the bastard Cristóbal is offering old Thomas a higher percentage of the profits, so that he can leave our company and invest in the company of the.

Damn Christopher !! He is like a stone in his shoe, he has always competed with me since college, he always wanted to be better than me in everything, he could never achieve it, and now he is getting in my way again, I am going to show him who Dante De Luca is.

A few hours later we arrive at the company, all the employees look at us with surprise, they know that if I am here it is because something happened.

We go up to the boardroom where we will have the meeting with Thomas, we go upstairs to meet Chloe, my brother's assistant, my brother has changed secretaries more times than his underwear. I already had the pleasure of meeting her secretary months ago, and it is the first time that I like a woman, right off the bat, maybe it's because it shows that she is not one of those who just wants to be between the legs of a man or interested in your pocket.

“Good morning gentlemen. He greets her politely with a more than precious smile, she is a very beautiful woman.

"Good morning Chloe." “ I greet her smiling, I think my brute brother is wasting his time by not courting her.

Mr. D Luca, how are you? he asks in that soft and delicate voice.

"Good Chloe, how about you?"

“Good too.

Giancarlo has told me something about her, I know that she is very intelligent, I don't know why he has her here if he is a computer geek like Rodrigo the head of the department told me. Well I'm playing dumb, I know exactly what the reason is. Giancarlo and her attempt to seduce her so stupidly.

"Please Chloe set up the meeting room and let us know when Mr. Michael arrives, and bring us two cups of coffee please." “ Giancarlo says to which she nods looking at him for a few seconds and then looks away from him.

It is notorious how the two of them get naked with their eyes, but according to my brother he does not want to mix the personal, so he moves away from her, "well, it is what he says", but from afar you can see that he is dying to jump on her. And Chloe is not far behind, she is very in love with Giancarlo, only that I fear for her, my brother has been characterized by a long list of women, if I am a womanizer, well, he is worse, he once had an affair with A woman, I don't know about her, has never presented us as something serious, but when he was very young and just beginning to follow in dad's footsteps, he had an affair with an older woman, with whom he had some problems.
