LUCAS MANCINI
He is not ready for any committment whatsoever so when she finally admits it, she has to make a choice. To tuck in her feelings or walk away. Well, what she chooses is still a mystery but one thing is sure; something changed i...
The shrill ring of my alarm is the first sound I hear when I wake up. I let out a low groan and a hiss , stretching my body in the process. I squint my eyes a little before slowly opening them.
I get off my bed, turn off the alarm and head for the bathroom to brush my teeth.
Feeling brand new and a burst of energy through my veins, I take to my seat and bring out my planner. First of all, I need to go to work and turn in my resignation letter. After that, meet up with Lucas and together, head for the company.
I leave my planner on the table and quickly whip some breakfast for myself after that. Once I am done eating, I have my bath and head out.

"Hi, Lola." I greet, smiling in her direction.
"Hi. You look radiant today, Marianna." I smile at her compliment and mouth 'thank you' to her.
Heading up, I arrive at my soon-to-be ex-boss' office. With a slight knock on the door, I am permitted entry.
"Good morning, Marianna." She says.
"Hi, Miss West. Good morning." I reply.
"How do you do today? Please, sit." She asks with a smile, making a hand gesture to the chair.
"I am good, thanks for asking. There's something I need to inform you about."
"Alright."
"I am resigning." Her face drops at my declaration and I sigh. I actually feel bad but family first. My dad's legacy is a priority now.
"Was it something someone amongst us did?" She asks.
"No. I....Personal reasons." I choose not to divulge it yet.
"Alright." She says. I take out the resignation letter from my purse and hand it to her.
"Thank you, Miss West." I smile, standing up to leave. She just nods her head and I walk out of the office. I call Lucas and we link up at the company.
"Wow. You look.....amazing." Lucas says, sending me a wink.
"Thank you." I let out a chuckle to prevent myself from blushing like a fool.
I recall how when I was a kid, I used to come here with mom and dad. Taking in a deep breath, I exhale and feel Lucas' palm cover mine. Together, we walk towards the reception.
"Hi. I am here for Charlotte Davis." I say to her. She smiles warmly before responding.
"Mrs. Davis' office is on the 6th floor." She responds and slides two visitor tags across the table to us. We get into the elevator and I start to feel nervous.
"I called my lawyer. He will join us soon." Lucas says, taking me out of my thoughts.
