Seeing everyone ignore her and leave her alone, Gia's anger only doubled and tripped in a matter of time. She immediately stormed out of the penthouse. And she grabbed her phone from her purse and dialed her Aunt Anna's phone number.
“Hey, sweetie,” Anna greeted from the other side of the phone. Gia cringed at her aunt's greetings. Normally she would have greeted back with the same enthusiasm but today she did not feel like reciprocating it.
“I wish I could greet you with the same sweetness, auntie,” Gia said as she got off the elevator. She walked out with such anger fuming away from her body. The guard from earlier did not even spare a look at her side. That pissed her off even more. Because when ruby had entered the building, he had given her a polite bow.

Luke was arranging the files in order. He had gone through them all and was done with it. He had sided his anger from the Anna situation and concentrated on office work. This was equally important. He had tired out his secretary, Madeleine as well. “I think your secretary has run away,” Luke up from the files when he heard Gabriel's voice. “I won't be shocked if she did. Because I have made her work the most today than any day,” Luke said and got back to his file. “She was not there in her seat to welcome me,” Gabriel said, taking a seat opposite to Luke's. Luke sighed, shaking his head. Gabriel chuckled and handed the medium sized bag that he had brought with them. Luke took it and raised his brows, “What i

Luke and Gabriel walked out of the elevator after they visited every department in the company as a routine. Luke had learnt it from his father. No matter how ignorant David has been in Anna’s matter, he has never neglected the company. And Luke has got that trait in the blood. He is very meticulous about every single detail that happens at the company. “Gosh, I feel so tired,” Gabriel groaned as he took off his tie and suit coat as they walked towards their own cars. Luke chuckled at his friend’s words, “From what?” Gabriel gave him a surprised look, “You are asking me that? You just made me walk four entire floors continuously,” he accused Luke. Luke managed to shake his head and faked a disappointment, “I just hope the Moretti Corporation survives.” Gabriel chuckled and they were about to enter their own cars,

The young girl smiled at him and laughed a little, “Yes, I think this much is enough to calm down your wife.” Luke scratched his neck out of embarrassment, “Not wife yet. To make up with my girlfriend.” The girl could not help but smile at his embarrassment. She was quite impressed by his efforts, “Not yet. So she will be in the future.
