Chapter 2 Arrogant man

A girl was trying to park her BMW, she had circled the parking lot many times to find a parking space and when she finally found a spot, a Bugatti had passed her, overtaking her and stealing her parking spot. Furious, she got out of her car with the intention of trying to be as polite as possible to the person who had stolen her spot, but to no avail. As soon as the man who was supposed to be the owner of the Bugatti came out, she was confused for a moment, in all her facets she could tell she was looking at the most handsome individual her eyes had ever seen. However, she instantly came to her senses when she saw that he didn't even turn to look at her, for as soon as she tried to reply her words fell flat.

“Get out of my way. Can't you see you're in the way? Or are you pretending to be blind?“ he said curtly.

“You're crazy! You just stole my parking spot, when I clearly had my car's turn signal on, and now you're insulting me. It seems to me that the blind man is someone else!“ The young woman replied with irony as she rolled her eyes.

The man's cold face looked at where his car was parked and looked again at the girl in front of him, as if she were a madwoman “I don't see where it exclusively specifies that this place belongs to someone, so stop acting like a madwoman trying to get my attention“ Saying that, the man went on his way with no desire to keep wasting his time.

“What he has of handsome, he has of imbecile“ she muttered annoyed with her face reddened with rage. Not only had he taken the spot where she was going to park, but if that wasn't enough, he had treated her like a crazy woman who just wanted to get his attention.

Frustrated with the situation, the girl thought of teaching the man a little lesson, so that he would never be so arrogant and rude again for the rest of his life. When the windshield was completely painted with red lipstick, she smiled victoriously and felt proud of her work, even though it was somewhat childish. As she was about to leave the scene of the crime, she heard voices in the distance shouting.

“HEY, WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!”

When she saw that it was the man who had opened the door to the arrogant narcissist of a few minutes before, she began to run like a wild animal to get to her car while mentally complaining. What kind of person would think of entering a shopping mall, just for a few minutes? As soon as she was inside her car, she hurried to start it, and by the time the man's assistant was about to reach the girl's car, it was too late, the young woman had been faster and had fled.

Fucking narcissistic psychopath. Those were the words that adorned the car's windshield, and as if that had not been enough, a huge face drawn of a cat figure sticking its tongue out at him. Maximiliano's breathing became uneasy, it was the first time he had driven that car since he had bought it, but now it had simply been vandalized with vulgar words like any piece of garbage.

“Sir, the young lady... I... I couldn't... I couldn't reach her," Paul stammered with obvious nervousness and a bit of fatigue.

Maximiliano gave his assistant a cold glare, "Do you want me to go and get her for you?“ he asked with annoyance.

“No, I never meant any such thing," he denied quickly and with uneasiness.

“So, what do you suppose I'm going to do with an I couldn't catch her?”

Paul knew what his boss's annoyance meant, so much so that he did not want to pay for the damages caused by the one who had caused his anger “I will have all the information about that woman on your desk first thing in the morning at the latest," he affirmed with some trepidation.

“You'd better, since lately your incompetence surprises me more and more every day, to the point of considering giving you a very nice vacation, maybe the Netherlands would be a good option for you. I have heard that one of my company's headquarters is in need of janitors to...”

“NO!“ interrupted Paul quickly, refusing any kind of so called vacation that his boss wanted to give him. Maximiliano glared at him, Paul hesitated for a few seconds putting together the right words in his mind and then said “What I meant to say was that it's very kind of you, but I really don't need a vacation“ he corrected.

“I hope so“ he said curtly, ending the conversation.

Once inside the car, Paul looked at his boss out of the corner of his eye, hesitating to tell him that the old man Cash had asked him to make arrangements for the dinner to be held at the Domale Dapane's house, where Maximiliano would be the main guest.

His presence was important, for if he chose not to attend he would be defying in every way the authority of the elder Cash, and he as a personal assistant would be dragged into the middle of a cold war between grandfather and grandson.

“Sir, your grandfather asked me to remind you to attend tonight's dinner, which will be held at the Dómale Dapane's house“ said Paul with some insecurity, as he did not know how his boss would react afterwards, because it was obvious that he was still upset about the incident with his car and did not want the aforementioned vacation.

Maximiliano gave his assistant an angry glare in response, which was enough for Paul to bite his tongue and keep silent the rest of the way. On the other hand, Maximiliano thought about his bitter situation, remembering that family alliance that his grandfather had sealed with his old friend when they were young, and still had the control of the city, since both families had had sons, the agreement was passed on to their grandchildren.

Luck was not on their side that time, the Cash family had had a boy as their first born, then seven years later the Dómale Dapane family was blessed with a girl as their first born, that day their destiny was agreed upon in a marriage contract between both families.

All this was recently confessed by his grandfather during breakfast that morning, the old man had said it as if he was a kind of merchandise which was available to be negotiated to the highest bidder, which made him furious refusing to fulfill the contract. But as the ambitious businessman he was, he knew that an alliance through marriage with the Domale Dapane family would be a checkmate, that was the best pass he had to achieve his goal, he would end up becoming one of the richest men in the world and with a little luck he would be one of the first on that list. Once he succeeded, he would find a way to get rid of any ties that bound him to the Dómale Dapane family and the alliance.

Unaware that her quiet life was about to take an unexpected turn, innocently Tanying kept smiling happily as she drove her car, thinking that she had gotten away with it, she had given that arrogant man what he deserved. Not as much as he really deserved in her eyes, but it was enough for her to know that at least she had done something and that she would not see him again for the rest of her life. Then she had to see where she would buy the gift she wanted to buy in that mall for her best friend and classmate's birthday.

Suddenly her phone rang attracting the attention of the young woman, who upon seeing her mother's name on the caller ID made a grimace with her lips and turned her attention to driving. For the rest of the morning Tanying was aware that she had purposely ignored all of her mother's calls, as she was sure that her only purpose was to convince her, no matter what, to attend the dinner that day. However, she was not willing to give in for any reason.
