It was too late to realize that how wrong my words sounded, he must think of me as a gold digger.

I said for the umpteenth time.Christine put her left palm on my forehead to check my temperature, I gently took a hold of her hand and clasped it in between my hands.I smiled as I gazed at her worried features "I'll eat when I feel well."

"Valentina" I cut her in between "huh?" Her face contoured in confusion."Call me Valentina instead of Mrs. Romano." I said with a warm smile."Oh! Ok M- Valentina" she corrected herself. "So as I was saying that Ca- Mr. Romano has sent me to teach you Italian." she gave me a tight lipped smile but I didn't miss her almost referring to Alessandro as Capo.I brushed it off as I got excited at the mention of him sending Cara.

He says with a polite smile.He leans in towards me as if wanting to tell a secret that no one should hear.
