“Sir, Mr. Navarro is sending his representative for the new project and later on, you are needed at the factory”Trey informed Emiliano as soon as he got in his office and went to his desk, he knew he was supposed to meet with Seth for their upcoming partnership, but he didn’t expect him to send someone on his behalf but whatever it was he couldn’t say anything as long as his company would benefit.
“What else?” Emiliano asked and settled in his chair and hanged his coat.
“S… sir and about madam… well”Trey stammered to say what he wants to be ordered to do because he has nothing good to say.
“Continue”Emiliano said nonchalantly as he opened his laptop and started working, he left early, already his granny was bothering him about treating Sia nice and act like a loving husband, but he had better things to do than to wait for her. Already she was troublesome, especially when she had a lot to drink.
“Madam didn’t take the car you ordered… and well, she… here”Trey didn’t like the predicament he was in especially when he was ordered to keep an eye on his boss’s wife and inform him about every little detail.
“Interesting”he muttered as he scanned his wife’s outfit for the day of course he was fully concerned with seeing what she was wearing. It wasn’t in him to feel strange but where was she going wearing such clothes.
“Trey you can go now and make sure you call in Angelo, I’ll need him in the afternoon”He ordered and Trey nodded and left his office, Emiliano creased his brows and went back to his work.

Stepping out of the car in a strange quiet neighborhood, Sia wore her sunglasses and scanned around and sighed heavily.
“Please take care, and we’ll get you just call”Rhea said as now she was holding Diego and Mario nodded in agreement.
“Okay”Sia replied and waited for the car to drive away and once they left she turned her attention to the vintage house across the street, she had never been to this part of Oakville and the neighborhood was quieter than any other. Sia took small steps as she held her bag close, sia walked through the open gate as she now was greeted by a beautiful scenery, the house was beautiful from the outside to explore the nature, the entrance of the house was adorned with beautiful flowers and besides the house was a little garden where Mrs Johnson obviously planted her flowers like jasmine, and she could see belle de nuit.
She smiled as she rang the doorbell and after some time the door creaked open and an old lady in a flowered old lady dress came out, her hair was black with some white in it, and he face was oval, Sia could predict the lady used to get some attention in her young because she looked attractive even at an old age.
“Oh finally, I’ve been waiting for you… Sia right?”the lady spoke and even her soft voice was something Sia liked, and it reminded of her late granny who she missed terribly.
“Yes Mrs Johnson, good morning”Sia returned the smile with one of her warmest smiles and saw the old lady’s eyes glimmer in delight as she stepped out of the doorway.
“Good morning dear do come in”she said and ushered Sia inside and upon entering, she was greeted by the sweet smell of coffee probably from the kitchen. Although the lady wanted to remodel the house Sia still found the old design so catch just the way her granny’s house used to be, nice and clean with supernatural flowers as decorations making the atmosphere pleasant.
“I came as soon as you requested for my presence and I must say your house is beautiful”Sia complimented as she sat down looking around the place and Mrs Johnson smiled and sat down too.
“But still, I need that modern touch right, tell me do you have where to choose from”she asked Sia and sia dug in her bag and retrieved what looked like a drawing book where she had kept all the sketches of house interior design and judging by the lady’s change of expression she was sure she liked it.
“If you have something you want then don’t hesitate to show me, the ones I have I’m not sure if you would find them intriguing”Sia said upfront just as a girl nearly the age of 20 walked in holding a tray full of snacks and coffee cups.
“Welcome”she said with a bow and Sia nodded and watched as she left.
“Nonsense dear, I do love these, but I can’t choose any until Nano approves of them”Mrs Johnson said in hesitation and Sia guessed the person might be her son or daughter since her husband died a long time ago as told by Mario.
“Is your son around if so, then I could show…”she started asking she looked around and to the small stairs too and the old lady shook her head.
“Not son, but he’s like a grandson to me, although he isn’t…”by the drop of her tone Sia knew what she wanted to say and quickly nodded since she seemed comfortable.
“I’m sorry for asking…”
“It’s okay dear, well, my only son died years ago but heaven blessed me with a kind-hearted young man… He’s not related to me, but he treats me like family… that’s why I have to show him what I’m about to do with the house before I do anything”she said with a smile and Sia smiled too, she felt sorry that such a nice-looking lady had no one to call her own and judging by the young man she just mentioned she was certain the person in question had a nice heart something that most men of nowadays didn’t have, she thought.
“Would it be okay if I had a word with him, that way he could show me just what to do with the interior design”if the old lady couldn’t choose for herself then she was going to talk to the so called Nano.
“Perfect I’m sure he will be happy but as you see he only comes here sometimes so…”?
“It’s okay I’ll leave you my card, meanwhile we could do something”sia suggested and walked to the lady and sat beside her as they perused through the booklet, and she had to admit there was much work needed to be done and employees a few teams of professionals to do the remodeling, and hence Mario was going to be needed a great deal.

As Sia continued her work, Emiliano was busy with his work as he was sitting in the conference room with Angelo and Trey who was not as promised the MD as well as his assistant, and they were waiting for the Navarro representative to show up. Not his usual still to wait for people, but he had no choicer than to do so.
“Emil, I don’t think you get it, do you? Sia is beautiful, and she fits as your wife”Angelo said with his eye glued on his phone, but Emiliano didn’t spare him a glance as he was busy going through the rules Sia had given him to pass some time.
“Focus on your work, I don’t pay you to give me lectures about my private life”he simply said and Angelo frowned, yes Emiliano was always like this.
“Fine but…” Angelo started but stopped when the conference door opened and someone unexpected walked to him shattering him completely as his heartbeat quickened, and he got up from the chair instantly as he fixed his gaze on no other than.
“Hello, good evening I hope I’m not late”immediately the familiar voice spoke Emiliano grew alert as he looked up, and his facial expression darkened and Tara dressed in her lawyer suit walked in elegantly with some flies in her hand and smiled warmly. On the other side Angelo was thrilled to see the woman he loved and on the other Emiliano was feeling awkward because the woman who played him as well as his best friend’s lover and Angelo were in the same place. Tension grew in the air as Trey gestured for tara to sit down and she did.
