Chapter 141
CEO Caden alighted from his car. He looked at the Villa. This villa matches with the address he got. He wants to know why that brat called and wanted to see him. He had taken over his company. What else can he probably want from him?
Eve Diego squinted. This villa was a stone throw from Santiago’s. Only the rich dwell in this district. She wished she would get really entangled with any of the young masters of the aristocratic family who live in this district.
When the doorbell ranged, the butler opened the door and let the guests in. CEO Caden Stepped in and his family followed. He scanned through the entire sitting room while the butler told them to take a seat. The boss would join them soon.
The sitting room speaks of wealth. The cushions, the designs, the golden chandeliers and the center rug displays wealth and definitely hundreds if not millions of dollars had been spent in designing the sitting room.
Caden Diego carefully took a seat. Tola and Diego kept looking and admiring the entire place when Caden Diego ordered them to sit down.
The butler soon returned with a bottle of wine and poured them. But Caden was cautious enough and hence didn’t drink. Only gave a nod of appreciation.
Caden sat patiently and looked at his wristwatch. He hoped that little brat wasn’t going to keep him waiting for long.
He might have lost everything he ever worked and labored for to him, but he was still the Caden Diego of the past. He knows it would take time, but he would definitely rise again.
Ten minutes passed when Suddenly they heard a feminine voice “Long time, no see”. They looked at the direction where the voice came from and saw a beautiful woman standing below the stairs. The woman was neither smiling nor was she frowning. It can best be described as being expressionless.
She looked graceful and elegant. She wore jeans on a blue T-shirt. With a golden necklace. Her hair was poured on her shoulder. On her feet were flat sandals.
When Caden Diego saw her, he squinted. She can not be mistaken, she’s still looking so beautiful though older in looks than she used to be. Tola also recognized her at once. Caden’s ex-girlfriend during their research year back then.
Eve Diego squinted. This woman bears a lot of resemblance to Aurora. Looking at her parents’ exclaimed look, she knew they three knew each other.
Mia stared at the surprise on the faces of the people seated before gradually taking a few steps down the stairs. She walked towards them casually and took a seat opposite the seated family.
“Mia!!” Caden blurted. Mia came back to Florence City? They hadn’t seen each other for years. The last time he saw Mia was in a television station back when her father was the President.
He guessed she was married then and didn’t try contacting her again. He later heard she became a CEO and was on the verge of becoming the richest woman in her country. Why is she in this Villa? Wasn’t he invited by the CEO of the Starlight holding?
“Good to see you again Caden” Mia stated, placing her left leg on the right and staring at his puzzled face. “How have you been Tola?” Mia added and looked at Tola as well.
“I am fine Mia. So good to see you again” Tola replied. Looks like Mia had invited them. Caden just told them they were attending a meeting, but didn’t tell them who had invited them.
Mia stared at Eve Diego. So she’s the vicious daughter of Caden who made life a living hell for Aurora simply to win Santiago’s heart. She’s yet to be shocked when she realized that Santiago and Aurora were married and had kids already.
“It’s really been a long time Mia. How are you doing?” Caden asked. He sounded like he had a place for Mia in his heart. He loved Mia back then. But when Tola came, his love for Mia weavered and Tola stole his heart.
“I’ve really been fine Caden” Mia replied and for the first time, she smiled faintly. Caden smiled and looked around as if to see who invited them.
Mia saw him looking around and knew he wanted to see Grey. “I actually invited you,” Mia stated.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
Caden squinted while Tola and Eve Diego exchanged glances. Caden stared at Mia intently before asking “You invited us, isn’t Grey Logan the CEO of Starlight holding?”
“Yes, Grey Logan is the CEO of Starlight holding in Florence City but not the international President” Mia declared flippantly. A quiet grin rose on her lips.
Caden is beginning to feel very uncomfortable. Initially he learnt that a foreign group was going to take over the ownership of his Diego group. But when he saw Grey Logan as the CEO of Starlight holding, he guessed there must have been someone backing him.
“Are you the one Mia, who’s behind the collapse of the Diego group and taking it over as Starlight holding?” Caden asked carefully. Afraid his guesses might be true.
“Of course I did. I bought over the shares of the Diego group and took it over as Starlight holding?” Mia stated and this time, her grin became broader.
