It's cool to be in your feelings, and it's cool to be sad, and it's cool to feel all of these things. -Cuco

GISELLA

"Did you know that the first son of the Caruso is back?" Adelesia says.  she's from team one.

"Lorenzo is back from the United States?" The other girl asks furiously.

"I am not talking about Signore Lorenzo, Chiara," Adelesia wince.

Chiara looks confused at this. "But Lorenzo is the eldest son to the Caruso and also the heir to the Caruso biggest companies, Hotels, and everything concerning the Caruso's," She added.

By this,  Adelesia hiss. "Have you been in this country? even the people of Rome and Sicily knows about the history of the Caruso family," She grimaced. "Lorenzo is not the eldest son of the Caruso, Nicolo is, and he is the only son to the late Alessia Caruso and the real heir to the Caruso's wealth," she says.

Chiara was stunned. "You mean that the rumor I heard before was true?" Chiara asks.

"Yes, it's true, whatever you heard was true," she replies. "And his sight has not been restored, no doctor could help him, so it's permanent. He is blind forever and Lorenzo and Diego will be in charge of everything," She concluded.

"Poor thing," Chiara wince. "But that means he's the one that will be interviewing today right?" she asks. "Because I will love to see how handsome he is, too bad that he would not be able to see a beautiful lady like me," she frowns.

Adelesia rolls her eyes." Don't get your hopes up, Chiara, I also heard that he is secretly married but no one knows what she looks like except the people who attended but they didn't spill the beans to anyone," she added.

With this, Chiara flinched. "What a blessing and a curse," she said melodramatically. "The lady is blessed and cursed at the same time. I hope he will come for the interview. The team leader is outside talking to his Assistant already, so We'll wait for her to come." she added.

Immediately Bianca Conte, the team leader of Team one entered as she complains loudly. "Why is Signor Nicolo so hard to deal with? He promised to do the interview but his assistant said he Postponed it again, this is not the first time." she jerks her bag to the desk angrily, making everyone to look at her.

"What should we do now? Team leader, Are will going to fail this interview to team two?" Chiara questions the angry Signora Bianca Conte.

She rolls her eyes at Chiara. "We can never lose like Team two. We're not losers." She said indirectly.

By this Signora, Jolanda frowns and walks away. I felt bad hearing them saying such things about my husband, and Leonora Felt's bad. "They call us losers because we have not Succeeded in an interview for the past three months now. And also, It seems like Signor Caruso is ashamed that's why he keeps on postponing the interview." Leonora said.

I look at her with a sad face. "If you have to think about this, why don't you start thinking about how we should settle the interview with Principessa Infanta," I shrug.

Leonora eyes waters. "Gisella, you're hurting my feelings purposely." she frowns.

I smile at her slightly and held her hand. "I'm just reminding you, the person we should be worried about is Principessa Infanta and not Signore Nicolo," saying his name and acting as if I don't have any connection with him made me feel bad.

"Why calling him Signore instead of Signor? He's a married man, Gisella, " Leonora said.

With this, I nearly choked on my saliva. "Oh,  I forgot, " I lied, nobody knows that I am Nicolo's secret wife.
