"Hey, don't worry," Robert told me once we left Mr. Salvestro. How does he expect me not to worry when I saw him lying looking deathly pale on the floor.

"Will he be alright?" I asked nervously, playing with my fingers.

Robert smiled showing his totally white teeth as if he was doing a Colgate pub. "That's Sebastian we are talking about. He's a tough guy." He reassured me. "And don't worry, I've called her mother. She'll be here shortly." He said, taking a seat on the couch with me following suit.

However, just when I was about to sit, there were several knocks at the door making me look at Robert.

"Must be her. Could you please get it, I'm too lazy to get up from this comfortable couch." Robert spoke lazily while sinking deeper into the couch. I laughed before nodding and walked to the door.

I rapidly opened the door to see a gorgeous woman in a classy dress who's hand was in the air. I guess she was about to knock again.

"Hello." I nervously said. She seemed to be a strict person especially with that tight bun.

"No time for this." She replied straightforwardly, inviting herself in and made her way towards the stairs while I was standing dumbly still holding the door.

"You can close the door, Ava." Robert said making me feel even more stupid than I already was.

I immediately closed the door and walked back to Robert who had his eyes closed. How can he be so relaxed when that woman who I suppose is Mr. Salvestro's mother just came in looking absolutely worried and blunt?!

"Don't worry about Corelia." Robert said opening his eyes. "She always reacts like this whenever she sees Seb in a difficult situation."

"Well, she's a mother after all. Don't all mothers react the same way?" I chuckled slightly making Robert nod in agreement.

A faint noise from the stairs made Robert and I look up. The mother of Mr. Salvestro was wiping her tears making my heart swell and Robert get up from his seat.

"Oh Coco, come here." Robert opened his arms wide to hug Mrs. Salvetro. I just swooned at this sight. "He'll be fine." Robert convinced her.

"I know, but he's still my baby boy." I heard Mrs. Salvestro say in between her cries.

"You're such a drama queen Coco." Robert joked untangling himself from her and wiping her tears.

"Shut up!" Mrs. Salvestro laughed before her eyes landed on me. "I'm sorry, but I didn't recognize you and I'm sorry for earlier." She apologized sincerely before coming to me.

"Um, I am AvaGrace Wilson, the secretary of Mr. Salvestro." I nervously introduced myself, looking down at my worn out shoes.

"Oh, so you're AvaGrace." She said, smiling widely. She knows me? Did Mr. Salvestro talk about me? And the butterflies returned with full force. "So pleased to finally meet you." She took me by surprise by hugging me.

"Y-you know me?" I asked once she was done hugging me.

"Of course I know you. Rafe told me so much about you." Oh. Of course it was Rafe, why would Mr. Salvestro talk about me anyways?! I'm just his assistant after all. "Oh and I am Corelia Salvestro. Sebastian's mother."
