Lucero pulls Flora along with him as they all make their way towards the hall; she puts her hand on Lucero's chest to get his attention making the man pause as he looks at her face in question.
"Where are we going?" she questions him.
"To the meeting, we all are gathered for that"
"What kind of meeting is it?" she asks and he pushes her a bit asking her to continue to walk.
"Dealers and investors meeting"
"About?"
"You will know" is all he says as they reach the door and opens it to walk in.
Flora stops walking as all the men in the room gets up from their seats as soon as they enter and she glances back at her husband.
"Are they getting up for us"
"Just ignore them, we are late" Lucero states as he walks them to their seat.
Pulling the chair for Flora, he waits for her seat down and as she does the men around the table takes their seat as well making Flora glance around the table before her eyes lands on Russo and she smiles waving at him.
"Hand down and focus" Lucero whispers in her ear as he grabs her hand on his and puts it under the table.
"I am the only woman in here" she points to him.
"Everyone can see that" he replies before turning to face in front of him.
"Shall we begin?" Lucero asks before the men hustle to start on their side of the deals.

Flora watches the few men stammer and few of them mock each other in pure boredom, she feels like watching grown up men behave more childishly than her sons back home.
"Our kids behave better than all of them put together" she states aloud and the argument on going pauses to stare at her.
"Oh, please do not stop on my behalf, I tend to speak my thoughts aloud, right honey?" Flora smiles mockingly as she touches Lucero's arm lightly and gazes at his face.
"Right, our kids are well behaved than them. Sit down both of you before you are made to never sit again" Lucero warns before he gets up from his chair and goes to stand behind his wife putting his hands on the back of her chair.
Flora turns her head around to watch what he was going to do but he grabs the back of her neck and turns her head to stare at the front before he puts his hands on both of her shoulders.
"Do you know the reason why Salvatore is not present here, but his daughter is?" he asks the men who glances at her before staring back at Lucero who squeezes her shoulder once before completely letting go.
"Because my wife is a good mother who knows exactly how to handle kids and right now you fools are looking just like that!
My five years old son is more organized than you all. When I reach back home, my sons come running to tell me about their day, but they do not attack me at once...
They wait for me to cool down before one by one they start their talks while another patiently stays and let the one speaking finish...
Even if one of them exaggerate the tale another does not pounce of him but rather tells the truth once the lie is finished, it's called having enough sense to give one another a chance...
It's called disciplined one you all lack"
"We did not agree to this meeting to hear about your son's tales Lucero, come to the point" someone states and Flora narrows her eyes remembering the man's face.
