disgust in his voice as he could muster.
Elena needed to talk to Chris before she left; she needed to take a half day off on Friday to take her dad to the cardiologist. She was a little nervous to ask for the time off since she didn't think Chris's reaction would be good. He already conceded much since he gave her the weekends off, informing her that the manager could cover those days since he paid him a hell of a lot more to run his club. She hoped he didn’t become too upset with her, before getting up the courage to interrupt the conversation Chris was having with his gorgeous brother; Mr. Stefanidis came up behind her, tapping her back.
"E lena what a surprise to see you, I didn't think you worked the day shift. How has working here at the club been for you, I hope my son has been treating you well", giving her a genuine fatherly smile.
Returning his smile with one of her own Elena said," Mister Stefanidis, everything’s been wonderful, thank you for giving me the opportunity to work here. The club is doing fantastic and it is a joy to work here and your son's not so bad,” she said jokingly to him.
“ I’m glad to hear that and glad you’re getting along rather well, my sons can be difficult at times,” he looked up from her towards them.
Feeling a little awkward just st anding there she said," I need to speak with your son Chris before I left but they seem to be having a personal conversation and I didn't want to interrupt them, glancing over to were his sons were sitting.
"Do n't worry, let's go over together, it will also give me the opportunity to introduce you to my son Nikolaos" laying his hand in the middle of her back guiding them over to where they were sitting.
Pausing the discussion Chris looked up to see his father and Elena walking toward them, “Dad what are you doing here this morning, wondering why he was bringing Elena over with him, lifting his eyebrow looking to his father for an answer?
" I was coming by to see you to go over some details about tonight and ran into Elena at the door. I believe she needs to speak with you Chris and didn't want to interrupt the conversation with your brother. So, I volunteered my services to her since I need to speak with you both, it also gives me the opportunity to introduce her to Nikolaos. Turning to his son he said, “Nikolaos this is the daughter of a dear friend of mine Elena, Elena this is my middle son Nikolaos."
Taking a step closer, reaching out to shake his hand, it still ed in the air frozen as Elena looked up into his eyes and was stunned speechless. Up close and personal, he is a dark Greek god, the image of every woman’s sexual fantasy. His eyes are the color of milk chocolate, he had this rugged quality about him and his very aura screamed sex, the way his gaze bore into her and the intoxicating cologne he wore had her heart beating fast. She could feel the moisture building between her legs, she momentarily fantasized of all the things his lush lips could be sucking and kissing. Blushing she looked down at the hands that engulfed her own and felt his rough, callused fingertips rub circles around the underside of her wrist causing her to shiver before she whispered. “Hello Sir, nice to make you acquaintance.”
Before he could reply, Chris pulled her from his grasp and turned her away from him, "Elena you needed to speak with me."
“ Oh, Yes,” forgetting what she came to ask in the first place, "Sorry to interrupt again”, Chris waved his hands to let her know it was fine and for her to go on. “I need to leave early on Friday, I know it's short notice and I apologize, this will never happen again, but I need to leave by two, before you say anything I already spoke with Steve and he said he would come in early to cover, as long it was fine with you he didn't have a problem with it." fidgeting a little waiting for Chris's reply.
"Considering you have not been employed long asking for time off is frowned upon, may I asked what
