"Mia, you shouldn't overwork yourself. Take care of yourself and our little munchkin growing inside you." Emily
chided sweetly over the phone, concern lacing her voice.
Mia had been busy expanding new branches of M.P. Interiors in Italy, and both Emily and Alessandro weren't
happy about how much she was pushing herself. Emily had even considered leaving her business in Paris to her
associates and heading to Florence to help Mia manage things.
"Okay, Mama," Mia giggled at Emily's gentle rebuke, knowing she had every right to worry. "But don't forget, you
need to take care of yourself too, and don't you dare hide anything from me. You know that's the deal, right?"
Emily sighed, biting her lip before replying in a steady voice. "Don't change the topic, amore mio," she teased,
mimicking the affectionate term Alessandro often used for Mia.
"Emily?!" Mia giggled, playfully amused by the teasing
"What?! Can't | call you that, my love?" Emily teased again, making Mia giggle even more and shake her head in
amusement.
But then Mia switched the phone to her other ear as she shifted into more comfortable position on the bed, her
tone growing serious. "Jokes aside, Emily, | need you to stay safe and well. Your safety matters more than
anything."
Mia had been worried ever since she found out Emily had been drugged while meeting a client with a fake
identity. She urged her friend to be more cautious, warning her not to meet clients without bringing her assistant
along in the future.
"Okay, boss," Emily replied playfully, but then she heard the buzzing of another call waiting. She glanced at the
screen to see her assistant, Carl, calling her nonstop, even though he knew she was on another call. He had
never done this before, as he was always patient and professional. Something must be urgent.
"Mia, Carl's been calling non-stop this whole time, his call's still waiting. It must be urgent," Emily informed her
friend, her voice tense with concern.
"Oh, don't keep him waiting then. Take the call, and-letknow if it's something serious," Mia responded
quickly.
"Okay. Bye, and take care," Emily said, pulling the phone away from her ear and glancing again at Carl's call, still
waiting.
"Bye, Emily," Mia added before ending the call. Emily immediately answered Carl's incoming call.
"What's the matter, Carl?" she asked as her tone grew serious.

"Ma'am, I'm sorry for disturbing you, but something serious has cup, and you need to be here," Carl replied,
his voice edged with nervousness. Emily's brow furrowed as her sense of urgency spiked.
"What's wrong?" she pressed, gripping her phone tighter as she snatched her car keys from the desk and stood,
heading for the door.
"Mr. Vinci demanded your presence here, and he's stopped all the work until you arrive," Carl replied hastily, his
anxiety clear through the phone.

"Alright, I'll be there soon" Emily responded, quickly ending the call.
She couldn't believe this was happening-everything had been running smoothly up until now.
