'You remember her? My friend Jack's daughter, she has completed her studies and now will help her father in the business, you both will find the compatibility between each other and the best part is she doesn't mind in getting married and having a child at the beginning of her career' he exhaled deeply.

'So, you have already planned and made the arrangements' he received the chuckle from the other side of the call.

'Don't you think thirty years is enough for you to wander around as a bachelor' he nodded tiredly, since his father has decided everything he couldn't deny to him as he had placed the knife on the sore point of his.

'What you want me to do next?' it was better to move ahead. Before he become the CEO of the company he was known for the playboy and had slept with many women but never go further, they were all just one night stands, therefore, here he was remained bachelor at the age of thirty. After becoming CEO of the most renowned and reputable company group, many women do approach him but he knew what were they behind hence he stopped spending nights with women, somewhere it was to protect his image as the CEO.

'She will come to meet you at lunch time, take your time and know each other well, do planning for future, share business ideas, whatever you like, in short spend a quality time with each other' a side smile appeared on his handsome face.

'You are teaching me how to date?' the taunt in his voice was clear but Mr. Martini ignored.

'Do you have any prior experience?' Alessandro knew his father was making him feel shame for not dating a single woman in his life.

'Fine, I will spend the time with Clara and do as you will ask, anything else?' seeing his secretary standing on the door waiting for him to get free, he rushed to end the call.

'Not for now' nodding he ended the call and looked at his secretary questioningly.

'Sir, I have scheduled your meeting with Mr. Harris, it is tomorrow in the morning'

'Great, inform Gabriel to make all the arrangements related to the tomorrow's meeting' starring the screen of laptop he informed him.

'Noted sir' Secretary bowed before leaving when was stopped by him.

'Also ask Gabriel to arrange a special lunch at nearest restaurant for two persons' his secretary nodded and closed the door.

'This project has good potential of succeeding in the future, although the figure shows that we will incur the loss initially but later it will be a long terms profits with huge amounts' she ended the meeting with final and concluded line of her research and working for this project that Martini group was taking interest in to, her colleagues and head of the treasury department applause her for her performance, whereas the CEO only nodded and said 'go ahead with the project' before leaving the meeting room.

'You did wonderful job Autumn' Elizabeth, her head appreciated her for her hard work.

'I am glad that I was able to perform as per your expectation' removing the wires from her laptop that were connecting the projector, she collected all the papers that were scattered on the desk.

'Indeed, you did. I am confident you have locked your position in our other branch' her lips smile brightly just like her eyes.

'I am waiting eagerly for the promotion.' she was walking side by side with Elizabeth talking about on the performance appraisal that was going on in their company and expected promotions that would bring as a result of it.

'CEO didn't ask any question which is proof that you performed very well'

'I am grateful, although I was very nervous when saw him coming in to the meeting room to attend the presentation, it was not informed beforehand' Elizabeth chuckled.

'He is like that, but you were lucky that he did not bombarded you with his tough questions, thanks to your good preparation' patting her on the back she complimented her.

'Just wait a moment' due to the call on her phone she had to stop Elizabeth, the number was not from her contact list but she couldn't ignore.

'Hello, Autumn Banner speaking'

'Perfect' she brought the phone to front and checked the caller ID once again when heard the voice, she immediately touched it with her ears.

'May I know who is on the call?' she asked cautiously.

'I didn't call you to introduce myself' the person on call almost yelled.

'Okay?' she was in the dilemma of whether to keep going or hang up the call considering it any sort of prank or wrong call, person doesn't look drunk otherwise she would have thought that.

'Your sons and friend both are kidnapped by my men' she covered her mouth in shock, when did it happened?
