Everyone in the house is saying their goodbyes, but I don't think she wants to see me, so I stood back and watched everyone else. I am supposed to be here for Luciano, but he said I will have to wait because he is dropping the girls off. I brushed it off and walked to my office.

I looked back one last time everyone had pain in their eyes not because they are leaving, but because so much stuff happened in such a short time. I sat down in the chair in front of my desk and put my head in my hands. Damn, I wish she didn't have to go back to New York, but that is her new home. 

I made sure all the dates were set back in New York to have flowers sent to her home. I know she lives with Bailee and Valerie so I made sure it had her name on it. I hope one day I will be able to deliver them to her, but I don't think it will be soon.

I have so much shit on my mind sometimes it's so hard to be in charge of everything and take care of shit. I wish I could take a break from everything and everyone, but I need to push through it as my father taught me to. I remember him telling me about all his hard times with the Russians, but this is the French and they stay on bullshit.

" Are you okay, hijo?" My mother stood at the door. I lifted my head and looked at her. She walked over to me and sat in the chair next to me.

" I know you are going to miss her," She said rubbing my back.

" It's not her. I have a lot of stuff on my mind and I am so stressed over everything. I just don't know what to do anymore. I can't just throw all the pressure onto Luciano and father when it gets too hard to handle. I guess it can be her a little bit, but lately, she has been the last thing on my mind," That is a lie. My mother raised her eyebrows at me she knows when I am lying, but she doesn't say anything. She just left it alone. We just sat in silence for a little while. It was a nice silence. I'm pretty sure she had a lot going on in her mind. I looked over at my mother who had tears brimming in her eyes. I know she feels like it's her fault she waved her hand at me, so I could confront her. I got up and left her drowning in her thoughts.

I went to the kitchen where Devina was. She was drinking some water and on her phone.

" Hey, Giovanni are you heading to the base or the office?"

" Once Luciano gets back we are heading to the office we have weeks of work to catch up on be might be there for the rest of the day. Why?"

" No reason," She said and got went back to her phone. I brushed it off and left the kitchen. Since Luciano has one of the cars, I also mind heading to the office so I can get ahead on some work and stop being behind. I know everyone has lots of questions and they know I have the answers to them, but I just don't feel like answering them.

I got in my car and headed to the office. I sent a quick text to Luciano to meet me in my office when he gets here. Once I arrived I walked in and no one was downstairs nobody was sitting at the desk. The doors are unlocked and cars are in the parking lot it's complete. The guards are here too. I got in the elevator because where is everyone? What is so important more than work?
