*Valentina's POV*
I fuckep up. I know that I did.
Truthfully I didn't even think it would be a problem when I didn't tell Danielle about me talking to her dad sometimes, I should've though, I was inconsiderate and she deserves so much more than that.
I stop the treadmill after the hour runs out, I get off the machine and grab my towel so I can wipe off the sweat on my forehead.
I get in the elevator and go upstairs, I look down at my watch 5am, great I'm just in time, I go into the kitchen and start preparing Danielle's breakfast.
I'm doing her bacon, eggs and heart shaped pancakes.
Once the pancakes are done I take the syrup and write 'I'm sorry' on one of the hearts, I take a glass and pour her a glass of orange juice, her favorite.
I grab a rose and put in on the tray, after that I go upstairs and put the tray down in front of her door, I'll have to get going but I didn't want to leave before leaving at least breakfast for her, also let's not forget that this is finally her month off, she's been working hard for 6 months constantly now, she finally has some time for herself, I may have fucked up but I still want her to enjoy her time here.
Moreover I won't stop until she forgives me, not because my ego can't take that she is mad at me, no, because I actually messed up and I want to make it right, this all happened because I wasn't thinking, I won't ever make that mistake again.
I go to the one of the guest rooms where I take a shower and put on a black linen pant and a white button up shirt which sleeves I roll up to my elbows, than I put on my rings, my necklace is the ring Danielle gave me in Paris, but I never take that off, after that I do my makeup and hair and finally I spray myself with perfume.
I look at my watch before heading out 6.10, great I'm just in time.

"Good morning Ms. Powers" Zoey greets me, I nod before going in my office she follows me.
"We've been over this, you can call me Valentina" I say, there is no need for this Ms. Powers formalities, at least for Zoey, for others? Yeah it's still Ms. Powers.
"Of course Ms.- Valentina" she corrects herself.
I sit down and she puts a sack of paper on my desk "This will all need signing" yeah I figured.
"Also these needs your approval" she says before putting another stack in front of me, "And these" she puts down a third "They need your opinion on these" she finishes.
"Thank you, you can go" I dismiss her, she doesn't go "What else is there?" I sigh.
"Tonight, at 8, you need to show for that media photoshoot, you know the place where they are also asking questions, kind of like an interview" she says, I throw my head back, of course I know, I've done some of those before, let's just say it's never only about Powers firm.
I nod and then she leaves my office.
I start signing the papers and reading them over, I'll probably go home as soon as I finished, as CEO I'm not bound to this office, I come and go how I like to, but I also know I have some responsibilities, like these papers, and it needs to be done, so I usually pick a day in the week when I come in and deal with paper work.
It's been hard doing things in Powers firm and also La Clara but I can manage, now that teaching went down from my plate, even if I preferred teaching over paper work, the full picture is so much bigger than that.
------------
It's 4 pm when I get home, I still have a few hours to get ready for tonight and I want to talk to Danielle, if she is home.
