I was focused on my work, typing away at my laptop. I was working on a monthly report of Alejandro’s financials and mailing a copy to his accountant.

It was some serious work and I had been working on it since morning. Suddenly my eye fell on   the timer icon on my laptop, it was lunchtime! I shut down my laptop and went to the cafeteria.

I ordered two meals, one for me and the other one for Alejandro. Steak, Spaghetti and meatballs. I was really hungry and tired. I did not have any mental capacity for small talk of any kind so I was totally engrossed in my meal.

After sometime into our meals, Alejandro spoke up. “I forgot to tell you, we are going to Italy tomorrow. Prepare you accordingly” he said with a smile. We finished our meals, he went back to his office and I went back to my workstation.

I finished my work and cleared up my workstation by 6pm. I knocked on at his door, as we had started travelling back and forth from his mansion together.

He shut down his desktop, systematically arranged everything and walked out in five minutes. We reached home by around 7pm and it was pretty dark outside. I went to my room and took a relaxing shower and wore some comfortable clothes. I had lots of work to take care of before I could finally call it a day, I couldn’t afford to leave anything to chance. I had no interest in being at the receiving end of Alejandro’s fury for tardiness.

I got my middle-class looking suitcase out and packed all my necessary outfits, lingerie and other necessary items/accessories for the trip. It took me almost 2hours to get everything settled in its rightful place; it was almost 10pm time for a quick dinner and early bedtime. I had to be up by 5am tomorrow our flight will depart by 7am so that we can reach Rome by evening time.

The dinner was light mix of some empanadas and a bowl of chicken broth. I brushed my teeth, put on some sleep playlist on spotify and tried to fall asleep as soon as possible.

The next thing I recall is the shrill sound of the alarm going off. I quickly jumped out of my bed and finished with my morning routine as soon as possible I had to be ready by 6am so that we could leave for the airport.

I wore a brown top and white denim shorts. I paired it with a pair of white boots heels. I tied my hair with help of a scarf. I pulled out a white bagpack and started filling it with my essential items.

I know it sounds really unprofessional but I wanted something comfortable for the long journey

Alejandro was seated on the couch in the living room and he smiled on seeing me and greeted me good morning, I returned the favour.

I was really surprised to see him dressed in casual wear. He looked amazing in a white polo t shirt and brown trousers.

We sat in his red Mercedes E class and Carlos drove us to the Guadalajara airport. We would be going to the private area, for take-offs and landings by private jets, reserved for the elites of the Mexican populace.
The plane was a Cessna Citation X, white color and looked really sleek and classy.
