Chapter 111 I will take the task
VICTORIA''S POV...
Should I ask him? I thought for some time, staring at my husband. He is still looking at hisputer but
his mind was in somewhere else.
The deep frown he has on his face is not so simple. Something serious might happen. Maybe, in the
Lots of thoughts came to my mind and finally, I decided to ask.
Slowly, I caressed his arm. He still didn''t notice and when I called for him, he finally noticed and turned
to me.
His eyes were nk at first and then worry crippled him. He watched me up and down, asking, "What
happened, baby? Are you alright?"
I nodded my head. "I am fine. It''s just, I wanted to ask you something. Can I? Are you busy?"
He shook his head first and then closed hisptop, keeping it on the bedside table. "Not busy at all.
What is it?"
I smiled at his serious expression. "Nothing serious, just some random matters only. How is Grandma
doing? I couldn''t even meet her after she was sick."
He smiled a little. "Don''t worry about her. She is fine and I informed her about your winning in the
exhibition. She is happy and asked for you to visit her someday for dinner. I will take you to meet her
soon." He replied.
I nodded and pursed my lips. Hesitated a little to ask the next question, but then I asked,
"What about Dominic? He just returned after a long time. So, I was thinking, how he is doing so far?"
I asked and observed his reaction. And as I guessed, his expression stiffened for a second before it
came back to normal. Maybe, I was right in thinking that. because, from the beginning, Alessandro is
not getting well with his brother and I don''t want it for them.
I want to know the reason from him, why are the conflicts between brothers? Is it because of me? Or
some other reason?
Alessandro smiled immediately and shook his head before pulling me into his embrace. He kissed the
side of my head as I leaned against his chest.
"Nothing happened. Dominic is doing well so far, I guess. No need to worry about his matter." He
assured me and then went silent again.
Even though the silence around us is peaceful, I love this man so much and would be a fool if I don''t
notice the hidden tension in his words.
I am sure there must be going something and this is rted to Dominic. I don''t even have any good
vibe since he came back. Especially, from the night when Grandma fell sick after seeing him and his
unexpected reactions.
However, I didn''t push the matter and only nodded. "Please do let me know if you have something in
mind. I may not help you in that matter to solve but I can support you mentally, you know?"
I felt him kissing me on the top of my head and then heard, "Yeah, I will. Don''t worry too much."
He said and I didn''t push him further to speak. Because he won''t let me know if there is really trouble
going on. And I understand that. But, I also cannot see him suffer like this.
I guess, I should talk to Dominic and find out what is going on. Maybe, it would be best if I visit DW and
meet him directly. At least, I would get a clear vibe if there is something crazy going on in the family.
*************
The next morning, Aless dropped me in thepany and when I entered, all the employees and
directors surprised me with a little wish and gifts for winning the exhibition.
I felt so proud and happy about it. Even Antonio prepared a special gift for me. It''s a new sketching
board and it''s a modern device and custom-made.
such a cool thing for a designer! I really loved it. And then it''s time for work. It''s been long sixteen days
that I couldn''t attend to my work properly and my assistant and Antonio covered the work for me.
I am already grateful to them and don''t want to cause them more trouble before taking the maternity
leave. I need toplete lots of work before I take my leave so that it won''t create pressure for others.
So, my whole morning was busy adjusting to my work. There were lots of works pending for me and I
needed toplete them as soon as possible in these days.
And when it turned evening, I didn''t even notice. Such a hectic day for me to pass, as I stretched my
arms and leaned against the chair after I let go of my assistant. She needs rest.
As I was sitting in my chair and thinking about how to manage work properly, My phone started ringing.
I looked at it and it was from Dominic. His number wasn''t saved in my phone but I remembered the
number.
I picked up the call. "Yes?" And heard a low and deep chuckle from my ex and my current brother-in-
"First of all, congrattions on your winning, Tori." His voice came from the opposite.
"Thank you," I replied with a smile.
"And how are you doing?" He asked, next.
"Well, all good. Practically amazing. How about you?" I asked back.
"Yeah, I am fine. Busy with work, that''s all." He passed for a moment before speaking, "Well, I do have
a proposal to make and that''s the main reason for my call."
"Yeah, go ahead. What is it?"
"Well, I know, you are a jewellery designer. And if I am not wrong, you have earned a great Knowledge
in designing other things too apart from jewellery."
He spoke and I listened silently,
"Recently, DW isunching a new wine in town and for that, we need a new wine bottle. And I thought

of you for that. Would you like to design a wine bottle for us, Victoria?" He asked and added,
"Don''t worry about the payment. It''s your work and once you agree to the design, we will discuss the
payment. What do you say? Would you agree with it?" He asked.
I thought for some time, biting my lower lip. He is right, I do design other than jewellery and the Wine
bottle is nothing out of subject. Moreover, DW is a finepany with a reputation. I guess, I can agree
and we can discuss the paymentter.
And by doing this, I also can gain some information about Dominic too, since Alessandro is facing
trouble because of him. I just want to know the reason and help my man.
"Sure, I do agree with you. I will take the task." I replied.
"Oh, that''s good. Then why don''t youe to DW with a prepared contract? We will discuss the details
then?" He offered and I agree with him.
