"Signora Roslyn, sono preoccupata" (I'm worried), Giuliana said, her brow furrowed.

Roslyn smiled reassuringly. "Non preoccuparti, Giuliana. Vado con Marco" (Don't worry, Giuliana. I'm going with Marco.

Giuliana's expression remained concerned. "Ma, signora, quel signor Leonardo... non si sa nulla di lui" (But, ma'am, that Mr. Leonardo... we know nothing about him).

Roslyn's voice took on a firm tone. "Giuliana, ho detto che sto bene. Non dire nulla a Chris, capito?" Giuliana, I said I'm fine. Don't tell Chris anything, understood?)

Giuliana nodded reluctantly. "Sì, signora. Capito."

Roslyn turned to Marco, her personal guard, who stood by the door. "Marco, sei pronto?" (Marco, are you ready?)

Marco nodded, his expression serious. "Sì, signora. La mia auto è fuori. Andremo al Caffè del Sole" (Yes, ma'am. My car is outside. We'll go to Caffè del Sole.
