Linda was seated in front of the dining table with a plate of stakes and another plate of microwaved chicken before her when Lucia arrived and had her seat opposite her.She asked, "Are you sure you don't want a plate of rice?"Linda shook her head and smiled, "I'll be fine with this"She took the glass of water beside the plate and drank buying time to watch Lucia use the cutleries to eat from the chicken on the table.She knew from the beginning that the knives and forks were for eating but had no idea how.Linda would have used her hands as always but this wasn't CEO Luca's place, so she mustn't proceed with whatever she doesn't understand until another shows her the way.Lucia must never find out she is just learning about this human world and--Lucia jerked her from the thoughts, "I guess you ain't used such cutleries for eating before. You don't have to be shy about it"She noticed Linda stalling and was quick to guess that.If Linda was truly from the streets. Then this new lif
Lucia's Ferrari 812 GTS stopped in front of the Classy Chic boutique and she alighted with Linda who was in a crop top and short skirt.It was a new day and they had come as early as 6 am to meet the makeup artist before the shoot that morning.Lucia had spoken with Linda the previous night to know if she wanted to have makeup on since she was pretty enough for the shoot, and Linda agreed.She believed the makeup should serve as a covering for CEO Luca not to recognize her on TV or in the papers.It was risky but she had to take the risk.She might not find a good boss as Manager Lucia out there."Alright, we set" Lucia locked the door of the vehicle and noticed Linda's absent-mindedness."You're gonna do just fine, Linda, I trust you"Linda forced a smile and followed behind her boss into the building."Morning, Miss Lucia" Saleswoman Mia greeted her boss as she came through and waved at Linda who responded with a wave.She was always the first to arrive at the boutique to get the do
Lucia and Linda arrived at Starbucks and they went in through the open glass door."Have your seat while I get our order"Linda nodded and watched her walk away.She turned to find a seat only to discover all eyes in the place were on her.What the hell!Lucia approached the barista coffee counter and the young lady ahead wore a smile, and asked, "What would you like? Miss""Um, Can I get two grande cappuccinos? Half-caf, please"The barista nodded, "A minute ma'am "Lucia turned to see Linda at an empty table where she tapped gently.She tilt her head in that direction and Lucia waved at her.Linda smiled and made to wave when a young man in a suit sat opposite her.She turned to him.Linda demanded calmly, "Can I help you?"He rubbed his chin and bit his lower lip, "Yes, I noticed you were alone and I stopped by to have a look at your face. You look great this morning"She took a deep breath and responded, "I'm not alone,"Linda turned in Lucia's direction to see her staring too.T
Linda and her manager arrived at the boutique and located the dressing room where Saleswoman Mia awaited their presence in a long overall coat she had on. She had called Lucia the moment the photography team was done with the necessary setting. Lucia approached the saleswoman and asked, "Are the brand dresses for the shoot ready?"She wanted them to begin with the people's favourite brand and--"I just thought you should know ma'am, your order from Italy arrived when you were away. 50 pieces of the K'S AMORE mermaid X gown" She told the manager whose eyes brightened that instant.K'S AMORE was a designer brand in Italy known for producing varieties of enticing gowns at the best and in different styles.Mermaid X was the latest gown released for sale this week and has barely arrived in the states.She never expected her supplier from Italy to import the top-notch designer dress this quickly to Thornhill.It was a miracle at the right time.Lucia was sure no boutique in Thornhill had
Nica stood in front of the glass wall in Luca's bedroom and viewed the city from that angle while he watched from the bed where he sat.He didn't have the plan to have s£x with her but it seems she was up for it.Why else would she insist she stays in his room and talks about the non-saint thing?She must be a bad girl and that's just the kind he would love to hit on.He would have loved to smash her but on the other hand, Luca doesn't want to give her something to cling on and try to use against him if he decides to reject her.Not that he cared. She would be crazy if he cancels the marriage whether or not he fvck her during her stay here.Or maybe that was an excuse for his path.He has not been himself since he met Linda and the craving he had for women was nerfed now.She was the only woman he felt a thing for now. "It's beautiful up here," Nica smiled and turned to see him force a smile. Her excitement knew no bound and she could imagine how the week would go with her betrothed
Nica was going through all the information she had gathered concerning Luca Antonio when the doorbell sounded and she raised her head.She had them saved in a private folder and would check once in a while to see his history which felt satisfying to her.She had gotten the files from her father who did his assignment on the Italian mafia family before deciding to do business with them.It contained Luca's activity as the underboss of the crime group which managed to stay hidden from the government radar.The government knew of their existence but traces lead to a dead end.Only powerful people and groups in the underground network knew the true identities of the 'Finest White'Luca was the one who did most of the dirty job for the family because he is in command of the mafia soldiers and leads them to get sh*ts done.One of his biggest activities as the underboss was the battle with the cartel system of Italy.It remains Nica's favourite and felt like a fantasy book she read whenever
Linda stepped out of the restroom with her hair on her shoulder and raised her head to see Saleswoman Mia showing a brunette woman around the shelves of clothes while the other saleswomen appeared from the back door with sealed cartons.Seems a new batch of orders had been delivered to the boutique.She pushed her hair off her shoulder and found her way to Lucia's office.Linda did not bother to know anymore as she pushed the opened and entered.Manager Lucia was on a call and turned left and right on the swivel chair she was seated.Linda could hear her say, "How much does the advert cost on the station? I spoke with the Thorn media already...."She paused and nodded gently, "Mmm hmm""K is a friend and I've paid her media company to air the advert tonight, I haven't heard from the other media company yet. Just keep me updated"She hung up the call and smiled at Linda after she dropped the phone on the desk."You're here," She said and stretched her hands to the air and a crackling n
"Alright. I gotta go now," Luca Antonio turned away from the press people and paparazzi who immediately tried to press towards him but the security guards were quick to protect the boss as usual.He didn't expect the press to be here but they are.Who keeps feeding them information about his movement?They were always on his tail.He wasn't here because he wanted to be available for the board meeting with the investors from Greenland but to be away from Nica until the end of the day.She was clingy and he doesn't think he can stay with a such woman for hours.The meeting was an escape door and he took it as quickly as he could.Luca climbed up the stairs and the indistinct voices of the crowd behind him echoed strongly into the air.Enid appeared from the entrance door and approached him.She was always here to welcome him and had a smile on her face.The noise of the crowd had notified her from the last floor of his arrival at Ocean View.She didn't expect the investors to show up to
