"I can't believe it Marcello! We are here, now, after all of this. O'Marcello, take me in your arms and tell me that this isn't a dream. Tell me that all of those years, the bumps and the hardships, were just a grey cloud that no longer exist. I'm so in love Marcello."

FLASHBACK

Ivana

Today I am meeting him finally, I really don't know how will it go, but I am excited already. I only met him once before. We did not actually meet, it was more like we bumped into each other while running to our offices. I hope things will go well. He seems like a gentleman, that is what I could only conclude from our conversations. He seems wise and mature. Uh, I should stop thinking about him a lot; I don't even know him that well.

Alright, all set and all done, in any second he will be here to lead me to the meeting. I looked around to examine the place more, he lives in a small house. The area is quiet and seems a very greenish region. I stood by as the breeze flew and my hair covered my face, while I held my black loose dress to not fly along. I looked at the trees around, it is already Autumn, and the leaves started covering enough of the streets. As I merged with the flow of the wind, a voice broke through my silence.

"Hello there Ms. Williams, I am sorry for making you wait for too long." he softly said while walking towards me.

"Oh," I giggled. "It is totally fine, I was looking around at the trees. You really love trees if you live in here." I said while we started walking to his car.

"I don't actually," he stated. "But this is where my house is. My home, in fact, is where the sea is." he turned on his car.

Mysterious! And super handsome. "So you love living there?" I asked.

"Yes-, I love the way water dashes against itself, those little voices, especially when it is windy." he started driving.

"Wonderful!" I looked at him smiling, examining every detail that I could see in him.

By the time we reached, we discussed a lot about the meeting head points that our meeting should highly emphasize on. He does not work in my department, but he is the CEO 1st secretary. In other words, I could see the future of our company in safe hands. I, on the other hand, work in the P.R department. If I get to have my next promotion, I'll become the P.R manager 2nd secretary. As we walked into the hotel, where the meeting was going to be held, I walked beside him. He walked slowly and calmly, never in a rush or hurry. I noticed that every time something terrifies him a bit, he adjusts his tie, even though it is perfectly placed. He is not that taller than me, in fact, we are the same height 5'8/5'9. As he walked to the reception to ask about the meeting, he rushed a bit. His black suit suits his light brownish skin perfectly. I felt like I am going to murder someone with him, as both of us wore dark black. Hah! Well if it was, I would kill Sam, the sales manager, a true asshole and a pain in the butt that I can't get rid of or else I am going to lose my job. As much as I was happy for coming to this meeting with Marcello, I was afraid of what will happen regarding Sam, he is a hypocrite that no one could put for him a certain limit to not cross!
