The next morning the atmosphere was the same way it always was. As the clock struck nine not a minute later the breakfast was served and the duo started their breakfast.

" we are going to have someone over for a month" he informed Andrea.

Andrea tried to mask her shock but it peaked through her eyes. They never had guests over, this with something new.. her brother was a person who always preferred solitude that meant that they barely had people over.

" but we never have guests over ??" She asked confused.

" I never said it was a guest" he answered sharply.

She only gave him a look of confusion trying to figure out what her brother was pointing at.

"Okay so basically there is this girl who came to the office yesterday...." and weirdly enough for the first time her brother's voice sounded nervous so she assumed what she thought would never happen.

" you like the girl" she gushed happily and equally shocked.

"What!! No not at all... at least let me finish Andrea" he groaned annoyed.

" I am sorry" she apologised raising her hands in the air as she waited for her brother to continue.

"The girl is basically a news reporter who is going to stay with us for a while because she is planning to write an article on me and on my lifestyle." He explained.

" how come you agreed for an interview you never even agreed for a press conference" Andrea tease him with a smirk.
It was a unsual sight to see him smiling but that was a different case when he was with his sister ,she was the only person he had left and that's the reason he valued her so much.

" she earned it" that's all  he explained sternly.

"So you mean that she's going to stay with us ..... for how long a month or two??" Andrea asked suddenly serious about the situation.

" that's certainly depends upon the time she required to complete the article but maximum two months" he answered sipping into his coffee.

" you are allowed to have an interaction with her but make sure what you adapt and what you don't ..... know that the family rules are to be respected" he continued.

That was the only thing he wanted to warn his sister about. From what he had seen of the girl she was rebellious and he didn't want his little sister getting any traces of those behaviour in hers.
Finishing of her breakfast andrea rushed outside to go to her college quickly pecking her brother on his cheek and waving goodbye.
Oddly enough for the first time he himself found Himself nervous to meet someone.

There was so much more than the aura around her carried apart from recklessness... the girl certainly didn't value her life cause if she did she wouldn't dare to stand stubbornly just for the sake of an interview.

Yesterday after the weird encounter with the girl he couldn't stop thinking bout her the whole day, somewhere in the subconscious mind he felt her smile sneaking into his mind.
As reckless as she behaved, her smile had a weird calming effect on him. Her smile felt like the breath of fresh air that knocked on to him.

"Sir we have a guest" his trance of thoughts broke as the butler informed.

"Bring her in" he answered even though the butler never mentioned it being her cause he was already anticipating it.
The butler's face morphed into shock for a split second before finally following the order given to him.

He wanted to look away from the door and continue his breakfast but for some odd reason he couldn't help but sneak glances at the door. It took her 5 minutes to finally enter from the door and all this while a weird nervousness stabbed his mind thinking about why it took her so long.

Seeing her enter the hallway he anticipated her to aww at the interior of the house, like everyone did. Even when the richest people of Italy came to his house, they couldn't help but admire the beauty that laid within so it was the sort of reaction he anticipated.

But the moment she stepped into the house her eyes didn't  travel to the interior even for one second, not a single appreciative glance passed through eyes.

This was the reason he was always thinking about her even though he just met her a day ago. Years in the Italian mafia as well as the business he knew how to master his emotions and nothing really surprised him recently because everything was so much expected but every little thing he anticipated about this girl, she always left him shocked.

You could never figure out what is going on in her mind and why she reacted the way she reacted.

"Mr.Romano" she greeted formally raising her hand for a shake.

"Ms.parks" he answered back.

"Would you like some breakfast" he asked her trying to be polite.

"No thanks I already my breakfast but thanks for asking" she answered with a polite nod but he caught onto her lie as her stomach grumbles angrily at the lack of food.

He couldn't help but smirk spread across his face as she blushed deep red at being caught.

"sei carino" the words left his mouth on its own record and he found himself regretting it the moment the words left his mouth.

"Sorry" she answered confused and he breathed a sigh of relief as he realised that she didn't get Italian. Though it was weird how someone working in a newspaper in a Italy didn't knew how to speak Italian.

"Nothing ... you can't speak Italian!!" He narrowed his eyes at her.

"No" her reply was short and steady..he expected her to atleast explain the unusual excuse to the situation but she didn't bother explaining anything.
Oddly enough the girl always left him surprised and that was something didn't happen usually.

"Your stuffs will be shifted to your room" he answered and on the cue a women took her luggage from her.

"Thank you" she smiled politely,

Finishing his breakfast he got up from his table and proceeded outside with thia right on his tail and at that very moment he knew that it was going to be a long day.
