The line went quiet for a few seconds until a sigh was heard.

"How can I say no to you?"

The words were simple but it showed defeat. I didn't have to persuade him to agree with me, he had agreed to me without protest. I knew Matteo only wanted the best for me when it came to my safety but if Angelo had to be around my work area, I didn't want that. Matteo was more worried about my safety ever since what happened. He felt even more pressured when Papa had warned him about what could happen. Not just that, with the recent news of my pregnancy, he was being burdened with responsibilities. If he could, he probably wanted Angelo to wander around the area of my office.

"I really hope you understand," I replied.

"I do. I'm trying really hard to understand you,"

"I just don't want him around my work area."

"He'd be out of your sight, Alena. You know Angelo,"

"I know. I also know that he's really good at what he does,"

"Then? You can't reconsider it? Just for my sake."

I sighed deeply before I shook my head, to show my disagreement. Matteo was trying his best to persuade me even though I had thought otherwise. Instead of completely agreeing to him, I decided to come up with a different plan. It was to ensure the both of us could win.

"Let's try to think of something else. We'll come up with something different," I said.

"Like what? Do you have an idea?"

"I do, actually. I have a lot,"

"One of it is to make sure Angelo stays away, huh?" He asked which caused me to scoff, liking how much he knew me. It was the initial plan but I wanted Matteo to have some peace of mind as well when it came to me-he had other things to worry about, he didn't have to keep thinking about my safety when he was busy.

It was better for him to focus on other things whenever he could instead of all about me.

"He can come over after a couple of hours. Do a few a check ups Then, he can leave." I replied, putting up the suggestion. It was a win-win for me because at the same time, Angelo could monitor the situation and report back to Matteo while I didn't have to worry about having any of my colleagues see him.

It was bound to be weird if I saw him wandering around just to keep me safe.

"I don't completely agree with you but that's something," he said

"That is something..."

"More than nothing. Fine."
