Loving Poppy (On Hold)

03. "The Uncontrollable Thoughts"

Alessandro

Tossing and turning in bed Alessandro tried to bring some comfort to his restless mind. Recently he had lost absolutely all control over himself, he couldn't concentrate on work that was once his priority.

All because of her. Poppy.

Poppy Sanderson had taken over his mind, and no matter how much he tried she wouldn't leave. It all started the day after they met and still continued, much to his dismay.

Shifting for the thousandth time he glanced at the digital alarm clock on his bedside table. 3:20 am it read. He let out a groan of discomfort, getting out of bed.

Deciding to let off some steam Alessandro made a bee line to the gym. The gym was just one one the spare rooms he had converted for times like this. Although it was not as good as the one back home in Italy, it was enough.

An hour of pushing, pulling, lifting and punching had done little to nothing in improving his mood. The morning was silent except for the occasional sound of heavy metal bars dropping on the floor.

It was still too early to be working but remembering about the meeting later today, Alessandro started to review the details as soon as he showered and changed.

Work had never been this boring, it was something Alessandro enjoyed doing from a young age. He would accompany his father to his office and try to learn business. But today it was just a chore, something he had to get done on time.

A knock echoed just when Alessandro had finished editing the last document on his laptop.

"Come in" he replied shortly, entering his closet to ready his clothes for the day. He missed his mom, she would select his clothes and lay them out for him. Perks of having a fashionista mother. She kept him up-to-date on trends or he would look like a hobo.

Selene, his maid entered with a glass of juice and a bowl of nicely cut fresh fruits. Laying the tray on the table she hurried out of the room.

Taking another shower to get rid of the tiredness he changed in his grey three piece suit matched with sleek black loafers and a silver Rolex.

He took his own sweet time finishing breakfast then called Jonathan to get his car ready.

During the car ride, once again the beautiful girl invaded his thoughts. It had started to become a matter of concern now. He shifted again in his seat to look out of the window.

The city was as lively as the day before, the streets were packed and the roads were jammed. Honking of cars and pollution  filled the air, but no one was bothered by it, almost everyone living here was used to this kind of atmosphere.

"Sir, we have arrived." Jonathan said bringing Alessandro out of his thoughts. He got out and entered the Rossini Empires with quick and powerful strides.

The Rossini Empires were well know to the world, it was one of the most prestige hotel chain all over since 1900's. Alessandro's grandfather Marco Rossini had started from scratch and within a few years the business escalated.

Rossini Empires was handed over to Alessandro's father, Ivan Rossini when Marco Rossini felt he was too old to be working, that old man was now enjoying the quality time with his wife somewhere in Maldives.

Ivan Rossini followed his father's steps and the Rossini Empires only grew, he had retired when Alessandro was 21 making him take over the business. Alessandro was without doubt the best thing that happened to Rossini Empires.
If his father had brought it to the sky then he was already touching the stars.
