" Katherine, what a pleasant surprise to see you here," He said as he looked at me in shock, there was no pleasant surprise here.

I wasn't happy to see him, he was the last person I expected to see here.

“ What are you doing here George?" I asked as Luca and Anna looked at us in curiosity.

“ You guys know each other?" Anna asked with surprise in her eyes.

" Yeah, but I'm wondering why he's here,” I said.

" He's Mr. Williams, the new chef," Anna said and I narrowed my eyes at her before turning back to George.

“ He can't be our chef, I thought you told me you were here to see a friend? Then I find you in my boyfriend's house as our chef, isn't that a little suspicious? Are you stalking me George?" I asked.

Luca just watched us, observing what was happening.

“ Why would I stalk you? That's crazy,” He said as his eyes suddenly went to my leg.

“ Katherine, what happened to your leg?" He asked as he quickly rushed to where I was seated. He went on his knees and was about to touch my leg but Luca’s dangerous voice stopped him.

“ If you fucking touch her you'll leave this place without hands,” Luca warned as he walked to where he was kneeling and dragged him up.

" We're not in need of a chef anymore, I can cook for my girlfriend," He said.

" Seriously Katherine, you're going to deprive me of a job just because of our past?” He asked.

" George, how do you think this is going to work? I don't think I want you working here, it's not going to be possible, okay, I wouldn't feel comfortable with you here,” I said.

" If she says she doesn't want you here, it means you can't work here cause she calls the shots not me,” Luca said.

“ What if we switch chefs?" Anna suddenly asked.

“ No," Luca and I answered at the same time.

“ Okay, I'm sorry Mr. Williams, it seems my sister-in-law doesn't want you to work here, sorry for the disappointment," Anna said.

George looked furious as he looked at me one last time before storming out.

What did he really expect? That I was going to welcome him and allow him work here, he definitely has something going up his head.

“ Who was that?" Luca asked as he folded his hands looking at me.

“ My high school boyfriend, that's a long time ago," I said.

" Wow, it's such a small world, of all the people I had to hire as chef it had to be your high school boyfriend, weird,” Anna said.

Luca didn't ask me any more questions, he just went ahead to make breakfast like he said and we all had our breakfast in a comfortable silence.

But my mind wouldn't stop pointing out loopholes for me, why would George appear here? I remember the last time I met him he told me he was here to see a friend and it looked like he wasn't staying long. Was he really here to see a friend or did he have another motive?

“Cosa hai scoperto sull'uomo con cui era?” I asked as I tapped my fingers on the table  looking at the pictures of Katherine's sister from the hotel if I could find anything, just one thing that could tell me I'm the one who's right or wrong.

"Si chiama Roberto Giuseppe, è un agente segreto proprio come me. Ho cercato di seguirlo, ma è molto furtivo. Finora so che il suo lavoro è quello di estrarre informazioni su persone. Sto pensando che lei lo stesse usando come agente, dato che hanno un unzio criminale in libertà.” He said.

“ "Questo è davvero complicato, significa che potrebbe averlo usato per fare del bene o del male, ed è quello che dobbiamo scoprire.” I asked as I rubbed my eyes, there were just so many missing pieces to the puzzle.

"Sì signore, ci sto ancora lavorando. Ti aggiornerò appena trovo qualcosa di nuovo. Mi dispiace che stia prendendo così tanto tempo.”

"Ho bisogno che tutto sia risolto il prima possibile, la vita della mia compagna è ancora in pericolo e sembra che molte persone siano coinvolte in tutto ciò che sta succedendo, ma non siamo riusciti a trovare nessuno e quella a cui tutti puntano il dito, la mia ragazza, pensa di essere innocente. Puoi accelerare tutto, ho bisogno che questo finisca.” I said.

"Sì, capo, prometto di non deluderti.” He said.

"Bene, mi aspetto di più alla nostra prossima chiamata.” I said.

"Sì, capo.” he said before I ended the call.

( Translation )

“ What did you find about the man she was with?”

“ He's name is Roberto Giuseppe, he's a secret agent just like me, I tried following him but he's very sneaky but so far I know that his job is to dig out information about people, so I'm thinking she was using him as an agent, since they have a criminal uncle on the loose,” He said.

“ This is really complicated, it means she could either have been using him for good or for bad, which is what we need to find out,”

“ Yes sir, I'm still on it, I'll update you as soon as I find something new, I'm sorry this is taking so much time,”

“ We need everything sorted out as soon as possible, my woman's life is still in danger and it looks like so many people have a hand in everything that has been going on but we haven't been successful with getting anyone and the one all fingers are pointing to my girlfriend thinks she's innocent. Can you speed up everything, I need this to come to an end,” I said.

" Yes boss, I promise not to disappoint you,” He said.

" Good, I expect more on our next call,” I said.

" Yes boss,” he said before I ended the call.

That was taken care of, there was one more person I needed to deal with.

When you touch the lion's tail you should be ready to get bitten.
