HER REVENGE

12.

Michele entered Chiara's cafe, a tense expression on his face.

"What can I get for you?"

"I'm not here to order," Michele said," boss sent me. He wants you to follow me."

Chiara's smile faded. "Follow you? Where to?"

"I'm not at liberty to say,But you have to do as he says."

"Why are you asking so many questions?" Lucia snapped. "He's your husband, he can tell anyone to bring you to him if he wants. You should just do as he says and stop wasting time."

"I can't just leave," she said, her voice shaking. "I have customers to serve."

"This way, ma'am," Michele said, leading her out of the cafe and towards a car.Chiara's heart was pounding as she got into the car.

"Lucia, what was that all about?" Luca asked, looking concerned.

"Her husband asked her to meet him at his office," Lucia said, shrugging. "Nothing out of the ordinary."

Rosalba collapsed into a chair, exhausted from the day's events. She took out her phone and tried calling Alessandro again, but it went straight to voicemail.

"Damn it!" she yelled, throwing her phone onto the table.

"What's wrong?" Elisa asked.

"I can't get ahold of Alessandro," Rosalba said,"I've been calling him all day, and he won't answer."

"May be he is busy also he is a married man, so he will not pick your calls again just give up"

"Never I will not give up "

"Have you heard the latest?" Claudia said

"What?"

"Isabella is going to be the new model for Fabrizio's company,And I've heard Chiara is going to be joining our company soon."

Rosalba felt like the wind had been knocked out of her. She couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"Alessandro's office was silent, the only sound the tapping of his fingers on the keyboard. But the peace was broken when Elena, walked in.

"Boss, your wife is here to see you," Elena said, her voice a soft whisper.

"Let her in,"

A few moments later, Chiara entered the room, her eyes searching the room for Alessandro.

"What does this all mean? Why did you ask me to come here" Chiara yelled

"I told you not to raise your voice at me again," Alessandro said, his tone icy. His eyes never leaving the computer screen.

"Fine, what am I here for?" Chiara asked, sitting down

"I didn't ask you to sit down,"

"I'm your wife, I can sit if I want to,"

"The nerve you have," Alessandro said, his tone icy. He still didn't look at her.

"I have customers to attend to,"

"You shouldn't be working at the cafe,"

"Are you insane?"

"I hate when people swear at me,"

"Whatever,"

Alessandro didn't respond. He just kept staring at the computer screen, his expression impassive.

"Are you just going to waste my time here?" Chiara asked, standing up to leave.

"I didn't tell you to leave,"
