Chapter 148
Luca’s POV
“We should probably head out right now? What do you think?” James asked me as soon as I pushed
myself into my feet and I nodded my head at him. “Yeah, we really should.”
“When we get back, there’s like a two hour break before our next appointment. I say we go through
your personal inboxes and get back to some of the people we’d like to work with, and decline the rest.”
James started to say and I turned my head around to stare at him from where I was standing, sgdinst
the bookshelf in my office.
“Is that really necessary?” I demanded and watched as James stated at me with a really experated
facial expression before starting to speak. “Are you kidding me, Luca? Didn’t you see your messages
requests on Instagram, as well as your mail box.”
“You do have a point.” I murmured as I started to make my way back to the table.
“So, did you end up giving your emsil to your secretaries like you said you were going to. You’ve
created a new email as well, right?” James asked as I started to sink back into my seat.
I carded my fingers through my head as I gave a shake of my head. “Actually, not yet. I always forget
about it whenever I get here to the office, and I’d remember immediately I get back home.” I replied to
james after a few moments and the nk expression he gave me immediately I was done made me roll
my eyes.
“What?” I grumbled at him and watched as he signed out dramatically before leaning forward on the
table with his hand on top as well.
“Nothing. Just that you’re a fine piece of work.”
“And you’re a fine one to talk, aren’t you? If this isn’t the pot calling the kettle ck… or the cutss
calling the hoe dirty.” I replied to him almost immediately with a small snort.
“No, no. We both know you’re way worse than I am. I do not joke about these kinds of stuffspared
to you. We’re very much different, Luca.”
“Shut up, James.” I said to him absent mindedly as I focused my mind on looking for what it was that I
was searching on this particr book I had gone to fetch, minutes ago.
“We should be leaving in like two minutes, Luca. You do know that we supposed to be on the road at
the moment, and if we’re going to be wasting more time here, then your driver is going to have to drive
really fast, and if we end up getting therete, you’d have to apologize to them for appearingte.”
I hummed a little beneath my breath before staring to speak. “Hm, I can do that. That wouldn’t be a
problem. Since I still want to get some thing done, let’s stay in for a few minutes more. We’d leave in
five minutes, and I’d definitely apologize for arrivingte.”
“You my friend, is one fine piece of work.” James mused loudly after a few seconds and I shook my
head while breathing out a littleugh in reply.
*******
After arriving back at the office, James had thankfully reminded me about the email address thst o had
wanted to give to the secretaries for over a week now, and after ensuring that I had disconnected some
things like my personal things from it, I handled the email over to them and created another one
instantly, right there in the office. And then James and I had started to go over the amount of inbox
requests in my messages box on Instagram, and James kept shaking his head I
Believably as we both worked on it at the same time, and James had aptop set on the table before
us, looking up each unfamiliarpany or shares name instantly.
It took a long while before we were done, and as soon as we were done, we still had the ema requests
to go through. But thankfully, it had been flittered by the secretaries and only the ones which they
deemed as important, had been the ones they had left behind when they hade back to hand over
the list to me.
To my shock, tne list still had over thirtypanies on it.
Yikes.
I turned my head around until I was staring at James who was busy tapping away on hisptop, with
his brows furrowed a little in concentration.
“I think we should leave soon for the next thing on our schedule today, we cane back ande
continue thister tidsy, yeah?” I said to him and watched as he finally nced up once he was done
and he quickly checked his time on his phone before nodding his head instantly and saving what it was
what he was working on, as well as sending the message which he had beenposing for one or tne
toppanies that we found in my inbox request box on Instagram.
He pushed himself to his feet and he stretched as soon as he was stabbing in his feet, I pushed myself
to my feet and started to button my shirt back up, smoothing my fingers over the material of my inner

shirt to straighten out the tiny bits of wrinkles that have made their way into it.
“Let me make use of your rest room right now, then we can head over to where we have to go next.”
James said as he started to make his way towards efere the rest room was located at, even before I
could speak.
I picked up my phone and checked if I’ve gotten any kind of message from either Ethan or Ryan, from
the usual daily tabs of Sofia, but nothing was in my inbox yet, I guess it woulde inter in the day. I
pocketed my phone just as james started to walk out or the rest room, and after a few minutes, we both
made our way out of th office together.
******
I leaned down and pressed a kiss against the side of Aria‘a head.
Yeah, she was still unconscious, still in a freakinga.
And here I was, already hoping for some good news as I made my way into the office today. It had
taken everything in me not to delivery a had blow on the face of doctor when o had arrived only to hear
that she was yet to wake up. He had been smart enough to take a few steps backwards when he had
done, some seconds after he hat delivered the news to me.
I sat on the spot on tj bed beside her, right before I picked up her hand in mine and felt her cold fingers
press into my warm once. Her face looks so peaceful, like she wasn’t currently battling a really fierce
battle against death at the moment, since the day I had rescued her – thankfully, although now that I
think about it, it was kind of my fault thsy I didn’t go out that night to go search for her and bring het
home with me, after she had texted me that particr night.
But then I had been sick at that particr moment as well, I could still remember perfectly, so I didn’t
think it was going to be fair on anyone it I had gone out that night and even get myself shot at.
I stretched my fingers forward and used the tip of my fingers to graze her cheeks. They were thankfully
warm and not as cold as her hands were, when I had taken them in my hand. My mind started to drift
towards Sofia as soon as o had started to graze my fingers over her cheeks once again, and I started
to imagine how sofia would grow red in embarrassment instantly.
Aria, assuming she wasn’t in aa at the moment, most definitely wouldn’t allow me to graze her
cheeks this way, over and over again, she’d have shoved my hand away from her cheeks after a
couple of seconds.
Once she gets out toa and getspletely healed, I was going to introduce her to my wife
instantly. It wasn’t like Aria had no idea of what Sofia looks like, seeing as she was there on tne day we
had gotten married, but I’d like to introduce them to each other one on one.
I’d like it if they can get to know each other, I had no idea as to why I was thinking about this at this
particr time, but the thought had suddenlye into my head moments ago, and it stil feels like a
good idea.
At the moment it though, I just couldn’t wait for Aria to wake up from thisa.
The doctor had said it was only going tost for a few days, and now it was starting to drag, and
whether I’d like to admit it or not, it was kind of making me start to get scared a little bit, and very much
worried because of it.
I leaned down as soon as I had pushed up from my spot on her bed, and then I kissed the side of her
head softly.
