"I'll drive you home," Riccardo said, his voice calm, breaking the silence. Vanessa glanced at him for a second before nodding. "Okay," she answered quietly, her mind wandering. She stared out the window, watching the lights of the city blur by, her thoughts far away. Riccardo stayed focused on the road, his hands resting on the wheel. The silence between them grew, but it wasn’t uncomfortable. He didn’t try to make her talk, knowing she needed the quiet. The soft sound of the car’s engine filled the space as they drove through the night. "Thank you for today." Vanessa said, her gratitude evident. Riccardo stared at her, a hint of surprise dancing in his eyes. He then let out a small smile. "It's not a problem." "Oh." Vanessa muttered, tearing her gaze away from him. The rest of the ride to her house was a quite one and in less than thirty minutes they arrived. Riccardo was fast as lightening to step down and open the car door for her. As she walked toward her gate, sh

"Diego, do you really think he came back for revenge?" Vanessa asked, a hint of fear in her words."Honestly, I don't know. But, he's the only suspect in my mind." Diego muttered."This just means that we have to be careful." Vanessa whispered to herself.Lily walked out of Damien's office. "Ms. Rodriguez, the cleaners are almost done.""Alright, let's head back." Vanessa said, handing back the files to Diego."So, what was Diego able to get?" Lily asked Vanessa as they made their way back to her office."It's not her, she's currently not in the country." Vanessa informed."Then, who does Diego think it is?" Lily asked slowly.Vanessa steps faltered as she turned to face Lily."Alexander Grey." She whispered."OMG. That creep, how did we forget about him?" Lily asked."I don't know, Lily.""Don't worry, Ms. Rodriguez. Let's get to work, we'll talk about this later." Lily muttered, trying to reassure her."Alright." Vanessa replied, picking up her pace.When she reached the front of he

Vanessa quickly picked up her Jacket that was lying crumpled on the bed and wrapped it around her body. She glanced at her daughter Emily and she still had that innocent look on her face, not understanding anything that was going on.She frowned deeply at her before taking her tablet from her, Riccardo was still on the phone."Good evening." He greeted politely, adjusting his phone in his hands."Evening, you wanted to speak with me?" Vanessa asked, shifting from one foot to another."Yes, How are you doing?" He asked, his face not giving anything away."I'm great." Vanessa replied, grateful that he wasn't saying anything about her earlier outfit, she'd have been more embrassed than she already was.Did he actually see what she wore? She asked herself inwardly. Or was she just thinking to much about it? His face didn't give anything away. So, Vanessa pushed the thoughts aside."I want to ask for your permission. Can I take Ethan and Emma to an amusement park during the weekend?" He as

Hayley walked out of the rest room and made her way outside the Company's building where Leila would be waiting. Outside, she saw their driver standing in front of the car, but she couldn't see Leila anywhere.She quickly approached the driver. "Sir, where is Leila?" Hayley asked."I haven't seen her. Is there any problem?" He asked."No. I asked her to wait for me outside. Don't worry, I'll go search for her." Hayley muttered, her eyes already darting around the area.She made her way back into the Company's building, but suddenly stopped in her track as she heard her name."Hayley." She spurned around to see who had called her, half expecting it to be Leila."Vanessa, you're here." Hayley said, walking towards Vanessa."Yes, where is Leila?" Vanessa asked."I'm searching for her." Hayley said."Searching? Aren't you both supposed to be together?" Vanessa asked."Yes. Yes. I asked her to wait for me outside while I went to the restroom, but I couldn't find her outside. So, I want to

"Thank you for bringing Leila here." He added, tucking his hands into his pants pocket.Vanessa was almost tempted to ask him what his relationship with Leila was, but she swallowed back her words because it wasn't her business and she felt that she wasn't in any position to know."It's not a problem." She shrugged."You should go back in. I have to leave." Vanessa said."Alright, I'll see you during the weekend." Riccardo smiled."Weekend? Why?" Vanessa asked, confused for a moment."You forgot already?" Riccardo asked."Forgot what?""That you agreed that I'd take Ethan and Emma out." He said."Oh, so much on my mind." She muttered to herself.Glancing back at Riccardo, she said. "I didn't forget, it just skipped my mind." With that being said, she turned around and began to walk away, leaving Riccardo to stare at her retreating figure.Outside, as soon as Diego saw her, he opened the car door for her and Vanessa settled in.Diego started the car immediately and drove out of the ho
