Mia hurried out of her office, her heels clicking against the polished marble floor, while Emily followed closely behind, clutching a notepad.

"Ma'am, Miss Vanessa is insisting on having an appointment," Emily informed her, a note of urgency in her voice.

Mia winced at the mention of the supermodel. The news of Alessandro getting engaged to Vanessa had been all over the tabloids. But she couldn't help but laugh mockingly at her destiny when she saw the news. Mia knew Alessandro had only wanted Aria to vanish from his life so he could be with the love of his life.

Yet, when Alessandro bought a new apartment in Paris for Vanessa, Vanessa had insisted it be designed by the renowned Mia Peterson. However, Mia knew better than to work for the fiancée of her cruel husband and reveal her identity. She had been making excuses to avoid working for Vanessa, but Vanessa was persistent, determined to have Mia at any cost.

"Tell her we are fully booked and not taking any bookings for the next two years," Mia said, hoping this would deter Vanessa from wanting her services.

"I told her, ma'am, but Miss Vanessa wasn't ready to listen and insisted on meeting you," Emily hesitated before continuing. "Actually, I've just been informed that she's come to our office and is heading to meet you despite the security guards attempts to stop her." "Shit!" Mia cursed under her breath.

This was bad. Really bad. The last thing Mia wanted was to meet Vanessa. Though no one in Alessandro's circle had ever seen or recognized her-since Alessandro had never made Aria's public appearance-she still feared her identity could be revealed by some other means. The last thing she wanted was trouble in her comfortable life.

"Tell her I'm not here. Tell her I'm out of town. Mia mumbled as she hurried towards the elevator. "No, tell her I'm out of the country and won't return for an unknown period." She kept mumbling, striding through her crowded office.

It was a busy day, and all her staff and designers were working diligently. Mia continued to give instructions to her assistant who was trailing behind her. She had been looking over her shoulder and didn't realize the elevator doors had opened. Alessandro stepped out of it, his bodyguards flanking him, with Vanessa clinging to his side.
