The soft ticking of the clock on the wall was the only sound in the room. Her fingers absently traced the edge of a document, but her mind was elsewhere.The door creaked open slightly, and Lily stepped in. She held a folder in her hands. Vanessa looked up, meeting Lily’s eyes. “Ms. Rodriguez." Lily started, her voice gentle but firm, “There’s something we need to discuss.”Vanessa leaned back in her chair, nodding for Lily to continue.

But he just let her go, knowing that she needed some time alone on her own.Turning back, he faced the party and his business associates who came to speak with him. He tried to focus on the task at hand, but couldn't. His thoughts kept drifting back to Vanessa.Was he doing the right thing? Would she ever forgive him?

Are you listening?" The man who had been speaking all these while asked.Riccardo snapped out of his reverie."Of course. I am." He gave a slight nod. Deciding to focus on what he had to do now, he replied."Yes. But we'l

Her mind kept wandering back to the party the previous night.And the silly part of her mind couldn't help but wonder why Riccardo had not shown up today.She knew that she wasn't supposed to be thinking about him.
