chapter 9

Genoa - Italy

Kate POV

As I walked into the manor, I noticed something was off, it felt like I was being watched, like every corner of the manor had eyes and ears and could listen and see what I'd be doing in the house.

"How interesting"I said,knowing max I bet he has camera's set everywhere in the manor,

"Not fair,he can see and listen to what I'm doing, but I have no knowledge of where he is" I muttered looking around,as I decided what my next line of action would be.

"No biggie " I said as I proceeded to look for cameras in any place they could possibly be, as I was looking for them I got distracted and entered my room,cause I was obviously tired and I needed to rest,as I was about to change my clothes i had this gnawing feeling that somebody was watching me so I looked around until my eyes landed on the very hidden spot where the camera was placed,around the corner of the wall,it was placed in such a way that if i wasn't looking I wouldn't have seen it.

"Hahaha, Maximus Valentino you are really something" I said as my smiled dropped, I went in search of a book and pen and i grabbed it from another room and I wrote on it with bold letters.

" I know you can see me Maximus I will find you and end you ".

I'm pretty sure Maximus was watching me through the camera

*Beep beep* I could hear a buzzing sound as I searched for were the sound was coming from, realizing it's my phone so I picked up my phone to see the caller ID as Kris

" Hello Kris to what do I owe this pleasure" I said making sure to lace my voice with spite making it known that I was annoyed by the call,

"Hello ma'am,but I'm just getting information that the board is aware of your arrival par your request and are actively trying to set a meeting with you, should I schedule a meeting and when " Kris asked

Since they are desperate to see me,I'll grant them that favor,

" Kris set a meeting by 4pm,in Rome " I said with a smirk,

" But ma'am we're in Genoa from here to Rome is like approximately 3-4 hours"

" Yes and what time is it " I asked,

" It's 11 am ma'am "

" Good so book a flight leaving by 2pm , since they want to see me it's only fair they wait,don't you think " I said as I twirled a strand of my curly auburn colored hair,the only thing keeping my mother's heritage alive,

"Yes ma'am but..."

" But what"I cut him short, remembering my mom brought anger and a whole bunch of guilt,so I lashed out on Kris, he is a chill dude and I don't want to lose him,

" you're only a messenger do as you are told, do I make myself clear " I said getting overly irritated by his recent behavior of trying to father me,

" Yes ma'am " I immediately cut the call not caring to hear his remaining words.

I decided to take a shower and rest for awhile before I decide to get ready

*12: 30 pm*

I got up from the bed and entered my walk in closet, Kris is really reliable,he filled it with jewelry, clothes but formal wear and dinner attire,he also put in a complete makeup set,I wonder how he knew what to buy and what my size is.

I opted for a slate green colored one piece suit with my forest green louboutin heels with a dark green coat,I opted for a natural makeup look which I did myself not wanting anyone's hands on my face,as I was putting on my jewelry my phone rang,

" Ma'am the car is ready"

" Sure Kris I'll be right there"

I grabbed my bag and went down the stairs to the front yard were the car was parked, greeted the driver realizing that Kris is waiting in the airport as he isn't in the car,

*Airport* 1:55 pm*

"Good afternoon ma'am, the board are already waiting at the meeting venue,I told them your on your way"Kris said as he approached me,

" Good now let's go"
