Chapter 275: Get out
Matteo stared long and hard at the scene before him, wondering what had led to all of it in the first place. It was only a few hours ago that Stella had seen him with another lady who turned out to be his ex-girlfriend. She had left the office angry and frustrated, which was highly expected.
However, he was not certain about her whereabouts, which was disconcerting. But he could not bring himself to call her after she had gone.
Now, several hours after what had occurred between them, standing before her with the intention to make things right, he was greeted with a most disconcerting sight of she and his brother, Remo, getting all cuddly and familiar with each other.
The first thought that crossed his mind was the possibility of something happening between them—and from the Remo that he knew, he was most certain that something had happened between them.
His face contorted to one of visible rage and fury, boiling to a concentrated magma of death intent.
"Matteo! Brother!" Remo called out playfully, replacing his gun and extending his arms for an embrace. "We weren’t expecting you."
"What the hell are you doing here?!" Matteo growled, his voice strained as he tried to suppress the boiling heat rising within him.
"Oh, just paying a visit to a friend, of course. What about you, brother?" Remo asked in a playful tone, closing the distance between them and placing a hand on Matteo’s shoulder.
"I came to check on my secretary, as she called in sick," Matteo responded sharply, his gaze fixed on Remo’s, scrutinizing his expression for any subtle hints of teasing that might reveal a deeper connection between him and Stella.
