Chapter 9: Mr. Happy

The next morning Isabella woke up with a slight headache while the sun was blinding her sight. She forgot to close the curtains last night before going to sleep because she was too tired after unpacking and traveling for 7 hours.

God, feels like my head's gonna explode. She thought while making her way towards the bathroom and did her business. She made her way towards the kitchen and started searching for some Advil in the cupboards.

"Are you searching for something?" A voice behind her ask, making her gasp. She turned around to see Seth, who was leaning on the kitchen wall, shirtless.

"Uh-um I was looking for Advil" She said looking on the floor, which seemed to be more interesting than her boss. Indeed he had a nice body with six packs and all but it would be so awkward if she gawked him for more than a second.

"Why?" He asked, coming towards her.

"Uh, I have a headache" She said

"Wait" Seth said coming towards her and took Advil from the cupboard beside her and gave it to her.

"Thanks" Isabella said and he nodded before leaving the kitchen. Isabella released out a breath which she was holding. She filled a glass with water and swallowed the Advil.

"Isabella" A voice behind Isabella spoke, when she was in the balcony in her room.

"Yes, Seth" She asked Seth once she turned around. Thankfully he had a shirt on.

"As the meeting with Mr. Gonzalez is tomorrow and we are free today so we will go to the nearby beach" He said

"Okay, Sir" Isabella said but quickly regretted saying 'sir' once she remembered what happened in the jet. "I mean, Seth" She said quickly, causing Seth to smirk.

"Good" Seth said and walked away.

Isabella started getting dressed once the clock hit 1:00. She wore a white crop top with some blue high waisted shorts with a navy blue bikini underneath them. She pulled up her hair into a messy bun and grabbed her phone, sunscreen, a towel and her sunglasses.

She went towards the hall where Seth was already standing in his white T-shirt and shorts. He was talking on the phone. She took this time to take in his appearance. To say handsome would be an understatement, he was hot with a capital H. And hearing Spanish leaving from his mouth only ignited this fire. She heard a throat being cleared, causing her to snap out of her gaze. She looked Seth in the eye and found him smirking at her. She cleared her throat.

"Let's go"

Isabella nodded and followed him. She placed her stuff in the back seat of Seth's Mercedes and sat on the passenger seat. The drive to the beach was long but the radio was keeping them entertained. Seth stopped the car indicating that they have arrived to the beach. They got out of the car and picked up their stuff from the backseat. The beach was not that crowded as Isabella thought it would be. They chose a spot to sit. Isabella placed her stuff on the cloth and started removing her clothes. She got rid of her top and then her shorts and looked beside her to see Seth staring her intently. Of course she was a little shy and blushed, hiding her face with her hair.

"Come on" Seth said while off his shirt.

They went inside the water and started enjoying themselves. "Hey, Isabella" Seth said and she turned to look at him but was greeted with a splash of water causing her to choke. She opened her eyes to look and saw Seth laughing whole heartedly. This was the first time she heard and saw him laugh and MAN, it was a great sight and sound. She shook her head while smirking and splashed more water in his direction.

"You just didn't do that" Seth said swimming towards her

"I just did that" Isabella said smirking and started backing away. She got out of the water and started running around the beach with Seth hot on her tail. He got hold of her waist, took that as an advantage and started tickling her bare stomach.

Heat crept up onto Isabella's cheeks when she felt Seth's hands on her bare stomach and she started laughing hard when she felt his fingers moving on her stomach. She was indeed a ticklish person. "S-stop" she said but he didn't stop.

"What's the magical word?" Seth asked

"Please stop!" Isabella exclaimed while she continue to laugh

They sat down on the sand once Seth stopped tickling her. Seth glanced at the beauty who was sitting beside her. Indeed he found her beautiful with her irresistible brown eyes and her dark brown hair which matched her eyes. He brushed a strand of her hair and placed it behind her ear, he could not think what he was doing. It caused Isabella to look down at her lap. He gazed her neck and saw a mark more like scar.

"What's this?" He asked, tracing the scar

Isabella shivered at his touch. She felt afraid when he asked her about that scar. She couldn't tell him about it because that would just lead her telling him about her dark past and she couldn't do this. She didn't trust him enough to tell him about it. So she just decided to make up a lie.

"Uh, when I was little I fell off from the stairs and there was a needle on one of the stairs so it caused this scar"

"Oh" Seth said and stood up. He offered her his hand and she gladly accepted it. When they reached his penthouse, it was already evening. They both went in there rooms to change. Isabella changed into a pair of black tights and a grey full sleeved T-shirt.

She walked in the kitchen and decided to cook something for dinner and settled on Alfredo. She heard someone clear their throat and she looked behind to see Seth in his grey sweatpants and black fitted V neck.

"Um, I'm making Alfredo for dinner "

"OK, need help?" He asked

"No, I'll do it by myself " Isabella said and Seth went away

After an hour, it was ready and Isabella set it on the dining table along with plates, spoons, forks and white wine which was already stocked in the fridge. She called Seth and they started dinner.

"Isabella, tell me about yourself " Seth casually asked

"What about me?"

"Anything"

"So, I was born in New York, I have a little sister, her name's Megan. You met her that day" She said chuckling on how her sister was ogling on him.

"I graduated from NYU and that's all" She finished while sipping her wine and Seth nodded

"Tell me about yourself" Isabella said

"Well, I was born in here in Spain, I graduated from University of Barcelona, My father is the retired CEO of our company and his name is Santiago, my mother is a fashion designer and her name is Angelina. She is American while my dad is Spanish. I have a brother named Carson whom you already met." Isabella nodded. She couldn't believe America's best fashion designer, Angelina Anderson was his mom.

After finishing dinner, they went towards their rooms. Isabella decided to call Megan. After two rings, she answered. "Hello?"

"Hello, Megan. It's me, Isabella "

"Oh hi, Izzy. I didn't saw it was you, I am watching a movie, anyways how are you, how is Spain? Is it beautiful like I saw it in pictures? When are you coming back anyways? I miss you, I miss your spaghetti-"

"I am fine, Spain is beautiful, I'm coming back the day after tomorrow after the meeting will end and I miss you too"

"Okay" Megan sniffed on the other side

"Are you crying, Megan? What happened?"

"He proposed"

"Huh? Who proposed?"

"The actor in the movie"

"Oh, bye. Enjoy your movie, I gotta sleep too" Isabella said before she ended the call and went into her before, following a deep slumber.

Isabella dried her hair and put them in a ponytail. She applied her light pink lipstick and slipped into her black heels which matched her black pencil skirt and light pink blouse. They were going for the meeting which was held with Mr. Gonzalez. Isabella went towards the living room after collecting her phone where Seth was already sitting in his black suit.

The drive to the hotel where the meeting was held was just at a distance of 10 minutes away from Seth's penthouse. Apparently the meeting was about the oil firm which her boss would be buying from Mr. Gonzalez.

"Good morning, Mr. Gonzalez" Seth greeted an old man standing right in front of them

"Ah, good morning to you too, Mr. Anderson. Good to see again. And who do we have here?"

"I'm Isabella Smith, Mr. Anderson's PA" Isabella said while accepting his hand which was stretched out for her to shake. The meeting started.

"I like your deal, Mr. Anderson" Mr. Gonzalez said after what felt like hours. He handed Seth a file to sign and Seth signed the papers arranged in that file. They finalized the deal.

"I hope I'll see you soon, Mr. Gonzalez" Seth said while shaking the man's hand

"I hope it too" Mr. Gonzalez said before Seth and Isabella went away.

"Where would you like to go now, Miss Smith?" Seth asked once they sat in the car

"Wherever you want to" Isabella replied

"Fancy a long drive around the city then?" He asked while driving

"Sure" Isabella said while enjoying the beautiful sight of the city.

When they reached the penthouse, it was already night. They both went in there room while Isabella started to pack as they were leaving this city tomorrow and may she recall, at early morning. While on the drive, she saw many beautiful places, they even stopped by to have dinner at a Spanish restaurant. The food there was purely delicious and awoke her taste buds.

She took out a book which she brought with her and started reading it. It was not much later when she lost her interest in the book and fell asleep. Earlier next morning, she woke up at 5:00 am as their flight was at 6:30 am. She took a shower and decided to dress into her casual black jeans and a purple top. She let her hair open and applied a pink shade of lipstick. She picked up her bag, her phone and her luggage and went towards the hall. Seth was already waiting for her. They put their luggages in the back seat of Seth's car and left for the airport.

"Hello, Alfio" Isabella greeted the pilot of Seth's jet once they entered in it.

"Hello to you too, Miss Smith" He greeted back.

They got seated on their seats and put on their belts before the jet took off. Isabella plugged in her earphones and started enjoying the soft music which was blowing in her ears. This time she didn't sleep.

They reached back New York after 7 hours as estimated. Isabella stretched her hands and got up fro, her seat while taking her luggage. They walked out of the jet and climbed in the car which was already waiting for them outside the airport with Miguel. Miguel placed their luggages in the car and started driving. They dropped Isabella first and she got out of the car along with Seth.

"Isabella, you can take the day off tomorrow" He said

"It's not necessary-" She started but was cut off by her boss speaking

"You need it and I'll be taking the day off tomorrow too so there would be no work in the office" He said and Isabella nodded

"Good bye, have a good day" Seth said

"Bye" Isabella said and rang the doorbell and Megan answered it.

"Izzy, oh my God, you're back. I missed you so much" Megan said, embracing her sister in a bone crashing hug.

"I missed you too" Isabella said, smiling

"Now tell me, did you enjoy?" Megan asked and this made Isabella to tell her the whole story.
