Mario sipped on the coffee Lucia made as he narrowed his eyes as he fixed his gaze Lulu who was a nervous wreck.
“I… I only wanted them to be sleeping in the same room… I couldn’t stand it when they argued like that”Lucia said in a low tone, yes she did sabotage everything, but she only did it because she felt sad that despite been married her bosses slept in different rooms and their misunderstanding never seized to end. All she wanted was for Sia to think the shower in her room was broken that way she could shift in Emiliano’s room, but she did not expect her plan to turn so horrific.
“Well sweetheart it worked either way”Mario remarked nonchalantly and Lucia blushed because he had been calling her sweetheart the entire time. She felt like he was not so bad, although he nearly choked her to death a few minutes ago.
“I’m… I’m sorry I shouldn’t have please don’t tell them or… or sir will fire me and I prefer not to lose my job”Lucia pleaded for the safety of her job and hoped Mario won’t tell sia that she was the one who did it.
“Well… I’m not for free… every nice words from me is money”Mario remarked with a mischievous smile and Lulu lowered her gaze and nodded.
“I’ll give you half my salary.”
“Whoa”Mario exclaimed with a chuckle and left the kitchen leaving Lulu confused as in if he agreed or not, but she was certain he did.

The next day Sia was feeling better as she was sitting on the bed preparing little Diego and yes, she was in Emiliano’s room, although he didn’t spend the night because he was busy working in the study room, and hence he ended up falling asleep.
“I’m… I’m sorry for leaving you”Sia said softly to Diego and kissed his cheek however Diego was too young to understand what his mom was going on about, and hence he only made sounds happily and Sia smiled as she finished dressing him up just as the bathroom door opened and Emiliano walked out with only a white towel wrapped around his lower part, and he was drying his hair. Sia only glanced at him once and quickly averted her eyes and focused her gaze on Diego. How could he be so shameless to come out half naked in the presence of people, Sia thought as she tried certainly not to look at him, but the man had walked to the closet to get his suit and Sia stole a small glance at him and his back was facing her and flexed each time he moved and Sia bit her lower lip awkwardly as he averted her eyes and tried certainly to keep calm? Yes, her mind was so dirty she needed to stop herself or else he would know she was checking him out. ‘Too late he caught her’ she thought and face palmed herself mentally.
“Only allowed looking, don’t swallow me”she heard Emiliano say with a chuckle and Sia realized that he caught her but how because he was facing the other way.
“Umm… what… I mean”she tries to say, but her tongue wouldn’t let her as she did everything to gather a few excuses to say to him, so he stopped saying nonsense but Sia had gone fully illiterate, and hence he quickly finished packing Diego’s baby stuff in the bag because she was going to Mrs Johnson’s house with her team and she decided to take her baby with her. Gathering everything and carrying Diego in her arms, Sia made her way to the door as by now Emiliano had finished getting ready, and he was sitting with his eyes on his laptop. Sia reached the door and opened up to leave by stopped and said.
“Well… I have work at the same house as the other time… I won’t… be here early, so… I well… I might get back late”she managed to say and waited for Emiliano to say something and to her surprise he spoke up.
“Take Nicholas he can be a great help”he said without looking at her and Sia nodded and left immediately, at least she was less burdened by telling him where she was going and Emiliano kind of felt relieved but still, he needed to ask her why she went for cross stones, but first he had to go to his office because Trey had informed him bout Logan coming there which was rather odd.

Night came like a wind and Sia was too tired as she gave the last instructions to her team who were working on Mrs Johnson’s interior designing, and she had to say it was a lot of work since she had to make sure her team did a flawless job and so far, she had done the first part and that was setting out the materials they would use and of course Mrs Johnson had a hard time choosing what she wanted for her kitchen and she could have chosen something if not for the distraction which was in form of little Diego because immediately she arrived with Diego in her arms, the lady had gone crazy as she immediately snatched him, so she could play with him and suggested making him baby food and Sia had no way of refusing because at least she would do her work effectively, and she did.
“Madam, I think we might start this weekend if possible”Thomas the head if her team said and the rest nodded with encouragement and sia smiled faintly.
“Please make sure you buy all the necessary materials… and go for quality not something else”she said and handed him her platinum card for him to use for the materials and Thomas nodded and bid his farewell to everyone including the lady who didn’t bother for she was busy playing with Diego because he just woke up from his nap.
“I still can’t believe you are married dear, I want hoping you and nano could weii… what am I saying”she started saying but stopped when she realized her nano just got married recently, but she had to say the architect was as sweet and innocent as she appeared despite been at such a young age.
“Mrs Johnson, I’m afraid it’s getting late… I’m sure I would meet him some other time”sia walked to the lady as soon as Thomas and everyone left and said while checking the time, and it was really late, and hence she had to call in Nickolas to bring the car since she told him earlier to drive around.
“But dear he’s on his way… I called him, and he told me he was on his way”the lady stopped what she was doing and looked up at Sia with a sad friend and Sia felt even more guilty as she sat down and took out her phone, maybe she could call Emiliano but at the same time she didn’t think it was a good idea even though the tension between them had subsided a little.
“Now see he’s here”the lady beamed as she pointed outside and Sia heard a car parking and sighed inwardly because she only promised to say hello to the so called nano and leave, although Mrs Johnson had requested she stayed for dinner which was likely to happen.
Kate rushed to open the door and Mrs Johnson got to her feet with Diego still in her arms as she waited for the door to open, Sia had her eyes lowered to her phone and she heard the door open upon hearing a cheerful voice greet the lady her mind couldn’t believe it as she desperately looked up to see if it was who she thought and yes.
“Emiliano”she mumbled as her eyes fell on him half hugging the lady with a smile that she had never seen before and just like her, Emiliano was perplexed as his eyes fell on Diego on Mrs Johnson’s arms, and he shifted to the woman sitting elegantly in the living room and frowned not expecting to see her at all nor did he imagine the beautiful innocent girl his granny’s friend was talking about and wanted so badly to meet was actually his wife?
