Chapter 72: Dylan’s Conditions
-Hey, you…Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Dylan hung up in response to Vanessa’s call and she stared confusedly at her mobile.
Shortly, the handsome man walking under the lights appeared, carrying a lunch box.
-Eat something.
-Well… or
Vanessa froze, because as a woman she would like to have someone to support her in her weakest moments, and Dylan appeared at that moment.
Maybe she could lean on him for a moment, since he was her lover.
-Thank you, I’m really hungry.
-Then eat some more,” said Dylan and sat down on the sofa.
This man always looked like a powerful emperor and his every move looked like a command.
Vanessa didn’t deny it and went to clean her hands before eating.
-It smells so good.
-It tastes even better.
Dylan’s words had another hidden meaning, but Vanessa was focused on the food, so she didn’t notice that.
-Have some soup first to warm up your stomach a bit.
Dylan handed her a dainty bowl full of rich soup, which smelled so good, Vanessa took a big sip and exclaimed:
-It’s delicious!
Dylan smiled more as he watched her silently finish the soup in one gulp.
-It’s super yummy! Where did you get it?
-I’ll tell you after we eat.
-Okay,” Vanessa replied without looking up and began to eat.
There were two vegetable dishes and one meat dish. They were all delicious and tasted like home-cooked food.
Vanessa didn’t usually eat too much and Dylan had prepared just enough to fill her up.
-I’m so full! -Vanessa smiled like an undefended, satisfied child.
Dylan looked at her with narrowed eyes, she looked like a cute little kitten who was showing him her sweep by being very comfortable while he felt like petting her.
-Do you like it?
-Yes, I love it.
-Well.
Dylan’s smile was becoming more and more noticeable, as if he was a hunter who had set an attractive trap and was watching his prey fall bit by bit.
Sadly, Vanessa knew nothing about it.
-Well, Tito, if you have nothing to do, you can leave now. You see, I have a lot of things to do.
All his words were true, so Vanessa was very happy inside to have a chance to command Dylan.
-My love, it’s not a good habit to let someone who treated you kindly down.
-I didn’t ask you to bring me the food,” Vanessa replied and blinked, playing innocent.
-You’re a wayward girl.
Dylan smiled and pulled Vanessa into a hug. He was as fast as a cheetah and Vanessa couldn’t escape at all. Besides, he forced her to sit on his lap.
-Dylan! -Vanessa shouted and looked at him angrily, making a lumpy, froggy face.
-Kiss me,” Dylan said, pointing to his own lips.
-Don’t even think about it.
-Yes?
Dylan raised his eyebrows and slipped his hand around her waist. The man’s burning hand ran over her delicate skin and almost burned her. So Vanessa stiffened and looked at him angrily.
-Come on, my good girl.
“You asshole! Threaten me again!”
Vanessa cursed inwardly, but she had to kiss him.
She just wanted to touch his lips, full stop, but Dylan wouldn’t let go. He grabbed the back of her neck, lifted her chin and kissed her deeply. His tongue entered her mouth entangled with hers and it was such an intimate kiss that Vanessa was almost breathless.
Vanessa was entranced by the kiss and her beautiful eyes were teary. So, Dylan’s gaze looked wilder as if he wanted to devour this little thing to keep her inside him forever.
It wasn’t a normal feeling, but he didn’t care, because his possessiveness was like that, very strong and dominant!
-Come on, that’s enough, I have to work.
When Vanessa regained her consciousness, she looked away immediately and wanted to get away from Dylan because this man seemed like a drug that always made her lose her sanity.
-You need funds for the company, don’t you?
Vanessa stopped resisting, stared at him and asked in astonishment, because this was a secret in the Cazalla Group:
-How do you know? Are you spying on me?
-Do you think I need to do that? -Dylan raised his eyebrows, lifted Vanessa’s chin again and said, “I don’t need to keep an eye on you especially, because I’m very well informed of everything that goes on in the commercial area of the Pacific City.
“What a cocky guy!
-Yes, the Cazalla Group needs capital right now.
-I can help you,” Dylan said. And you only have to agree to one condition.
-What do you want me to do?
Vanessa was always on her guard against Dylan and had been suspicious of the man ever since he had given Gerardo a false return date. So, she wasn’t surprised by the man’s words.
-You own one percent of Grupo Moya’s shares, don’t you?
-Yes.
As a member of the Moya family it was only natural that Dylan would know.
-So? -Vanessa asked.
-Don’t worry, I won’t take this as change. I just hope that the day I need it, you can be by my side with your actions.
-Do you want to…?
“This man plans to take over the power of the Moya family? Indeed, he is a Moya. Besides, he has good skills and he’s older than Orlando, he should inherit the Moya Group after Gerardo’s retirement.”
Dylan smiled slightly at Vanessa’s suspicion, but didn’t elaborate. -How much funding do you need? What are your plans for the future? I expect you to give me a specific report and I will help the Cazalla Group according to its viability.
Vanessa did not expect Dylan to make such a request and asked:
-Shouldn’t it be unconditional help?
-My love, wake up, I’m a businessman.
“And, if I really do that, how are you going to learn to better yourself?” thought Dylan.
In fact, Dylan knew Vanessa better than she knew herself and knew she was a proud woman. Unconditional help would create inequality between them, causing Vanessa to pull further away from him. So, Dylan wasn’t going to do something that wouldn’t benefit her at all.
