Finally, the day has arrived, when I have to submit the report to Lorenzo. Although I am least interested in going to the Romano mansion, I have to go because he is not only my brother's best friend but also my grumpy boss.

I woke up and sat on my bed for a bit, collecting my thoughts. I stretched my arms and legs and got out of the bed. I brushed my teeth and heated the water for my bath. I got a new book from my bookshelf and read it as I lazed in the bathtub. It was relaxing and calming way to start my day.

After a good 30minute in the bathtub I dried myself and wore a black off-shoulder top along with white faded and ripped jeans, I paired the outfit with black flats.

I put all the necessary items in my backpack and walked downstairs to find Emilia waiting on the sofa, it was a pleasant surprise to see her so early in the morning

I put all the necessary items in my backpack and walked downstairs to find Emilia waiting on the sofa, it was a pleasant surprise to see her so early in the morning. We hugged and exchanged niceties before heading to the dining table.

After breakfast I got up, picked up my backpack and headed for the door. "Wait for me, I am coming with you?' Emilia shouted out.
"Where are you going?" I asked visibly confused.
"I am coming as your support team at the Romano mansion, I cannot let that asshole hurt you again".

She said in a domineering voice, something that really surprised.
"It makes no sense; I mean I am going to babysit Giovanni and you want to be the babysitter's babysitter." I said and laughed.

"I am not giving you an option; I am coming with you. If you don't allow me to accompany you, I will tell Adriano about Giovanni and your love affair" she had trapped me and I had no choice but to comply. We hopped into the car and headed for the Romano mansion.

I was appalled to see this manipulative side of Emilia, but I gave her the benefit of the doubt. She was only thinking in my best interest and didn't want to see me hurt.

The door was opened by a maid and we were greeted by Sophia Romano seated on the couch reading the morning papers. Emilia sat besides her and chatted with her as I proceeded to Lorenzo's study. I knocked twice before the door opened and I saw the towering figure of Lorenzo signalling me to walk in and sit on the couch because he was in a phone call.
