overtook her.

Emily returned hafter her last meeting with the team, instructing everyone to send their reports to her

email so she could review them at home. With little work left on her plate, she figured it was better to occupy

herself rather than succumb to boredom until sleep Feeling exhausted, she didn't have much appetite and

decided to skip dinner. Her mood was particularly sour after Matteo's mother and his fiancée had shown up at his

office, humiliating Emily for no reason at all. The sting of their condescension lingered, making it difficult for her

to shake off the negativity throughout the whole day.

She vowed to keep her distance from that troublesattorney, even though he had helped her a lot. Emily was

doing her best to repay him by refraining from showing disrespect and enduring everything until the renovations

in his office were completed. She believed she couldn't do anything more than that.

It was late evening when she finally settled onto her bed, laptop resting on her lap in a relaxing position. Just as

she began to unwind, the doorbell rang, causing her to squeeze her eyes shut in irritation. She was so tired that

she didn't even want to get up to answer the door.

But when the doorbell rang again, Emily reluctantly got up, dragging her tired body toward the door. She

guessed it might be the neighbor's kids from the upper floor, who used to cover to play since Gia and

Maximo lived there. Even after the twins moved to Florence, the kids continued to visit Emily, often brightening

her day with their laughter. She would sometimes treat them to chocolates or cupcakes, and their joy was

infectious.

The thought of their playful energy brought a smile to Emily's tired face, reminding her of how much she loved

spending twith children.

But when she opened the door with a bright grin, her smile quickly faltered at the sight of Matteo Vinci standing

before her. The moment she took him in, her heart skipped a beat. He looked effortlessly hot and incredibly sexy.

His perfectly styled hair was disheveled as if he had run his hands through it several times in frustration. The tie

he wore in the morning was absent, and a few top buttons on his crisp white shirt were undone, revealing a hint

of his toned chest. The suit jacket was draped over his strong, muscular arm, suggesting he found it

uncomfortable while stressing over something. However, the shirt sleeves were rolled up, showcasing his veined,

muscular arms, making Emily's mouth go dry as she swallowed unconsciously.

When Matteo &ught Emily staring at him in shock, a playful smirk tugged at his lips. All his doubts evaporated in

that moment; he knew she wanted him just as much as he wanted her. He was Matteo Vinci, and he understood

all too well how his charm never failed. He bit his lip to suppress the smug grin threatening to break free before

extending a bouquet of flowers and a bottle of wine toward her

Emily's eyes darted from the beautiful bouquet and wine to Matteo's face, her mind racing as she struggled to

understand why Matteo Vinci stood at her door at this hour. What did he want from her?

"Are you not going to invitein, Miss Yang?" Matteo's husky voice, tinged with mischief, broke her reverie.

Shaking off her surprise, she nodded and stepped aside to let him in.

As Matteo entered, Emily closed the door behind him, her frown deepening. She turned to face him, arms

crossed defensively.

"Mr. Vinci, why did you bother coming here at this time? If you needed anything, you could have just texted me,"

she snapped, sarcasm dripping from her words.

Matteo smiled before extending the bouquet and wine foward here

for what happened in my office, Emily." His tone shifted to seriousness as he continued, "Please accept my

apology. | am truly sorry for how my mother treated you. | would do anything to make it up to you." Emily sighed,

reluctantly accepting the items from his hands. "That's fine. | don't hold any grudges, after

all."

"Thank you, ma douce," he murmured, smiling softly as he stepped closer, his gaze locking deeply onto hers.

Anxiety bubbled in Emily's chest; she wanted him to leave immediately. His proximity stirred emotions within her

that she had never wanted to feel, and the thought of embarrassing herself made her restless. But then, she

caught Matteo shamelessly checking her out, his hungry gaze roaming over her from head to toe, she suddenly

felt self-conscious, acutely aware that she was still in her pajama shorts and tank top. Suddenly, self-

consciousness washed over her, and she felt the urge to wrap her arms around herself and dash to her room to

find something more appropriate to wear. But against her better judgment, she stood her ground, attempting to

project confidence.

"So? Is that all you're here for?" Emily asked, trying to hint that he should leave.

Matteo chuckled, clearly understanding her intent. "Aren't you going to invitefor dinner?"

"I've already had dinner, Mr. Vinci," she lied, trying to sound convincing. But her stomach betrayed her,

grumbling loudly against her statement.

Matteo laughed again, a warm sound that filled the room.

"You," Matteo's sensual whisper caught her off guard, making her wonder if she had heard him wrong.
