Your Honour, I'm In Love

The next morning, Lucia woke up to hear alarm screaming at her to wake up. She groggily turned it off and sat up in her bed, yawning. She needed to get ready for another day of work... probably paperwork again. Lucia went to the bathroom to do her morning routine of a shower, minimal makeup, and dressing up. It was about seven in the morning, and she had to be at the office by eight-thirty. Quite quickly, she finished with getting ready, and left her room. She walked downstairs into the hallway, and saw that there were envelopes laying on the doormat. Lucia picked them up, so her parents didn't have to. Hmm... bills, lottery.. hey, what's this? It's a black envelope! What could it be? Lucia thought to herself. She walked to the living room, sitting down on the sofa. All the envelopes, except for the black one, were thrown on the coffee table. She opened the letter, and read the contents.

Party for all of the employees of the Viscuso company. It's going to take place at bar-restaurant Sunrise, on the third this month, from nine in the evening. It is a black tie event, so show up accordingly. The owner and his sons and daughter will be there.

Lucia almost dropped the letter when she read it. There was gonna be a party for all the employees?! And it's today?! It's a black tie event,  she doesn't have clothes that are fitting for the event! She had to go shopping after work, she had to! She couldn't just show up underdressed, that would definitely hurt her reputation and she would probably get kicked out, knowing that some people really don't like it when you show up without the right dress code. Lucia looked at the clock, and she noticed that she needed to go, and fast. She grabbed an apple from the kitchen and ran out the door to catch a cab.
She took a cab to her office building, and she entered the lobby. Luckily, she was right on time. She entered the elevator and rode up to her level. And when the elevator door opened, shock filled her body. Matteo was there. Lucia immediately remembered what she did last night while thinking of the man. Matteo looked confused as Lucia speedwalked past him, but shrugged it off. Oh my god.. how embarrassing..  Lucia thought to herself as she entered her office. She sat down in her chair with a sigh. She couldn't face Matteo, not today... she'll feel terrible if she sees him again. She'll just have to hope that he won't be around for lunchtime. But she couldn't continue thinking about him right now, she had to work. And maybe think about what she's gonna wear for the party tonight. With a deep exhale, Lucia started working on the papers that were stacked on her desk.
After what felt like hours of working, Lucia got up from her desk to go eat lunch. She grabbed her purse and went to the nearest coffee shop. Lucia placed her order, and sat down at a table in the corner, hoping nobody from the office would be there and notice her. She scrolled on her phone, until suddenly, she heard screaming. Immediately,  she looked up and gasped when she saw a man with a gun pointed at the barista. 'Give me all your money!' He yelled. Panicked, Lucia texted Aldo, since she knew he was nearby and would most likely have a weapon or two on him due to him being a mafia boss and all. But to her surprise...
