She nervously licked her lips, her heart pounding so loudly. "What do you want, Mr. Vinci?" she asked, trying to steady her voice.

"What did you just say?" she asked in disbelief.

"I said I want you to go on a date with me. Time and place-your choice," Matteo rephrased his proposition.

"A date?" she repeated, still in disbelief.

""Yes," Matteo confirmed.

"That's... all?" she asked, furrowing skeptically.

What if he got scared and abandoned her case too? Still, a date with the notorious playboy attorney didn't seem

She didn't respond, remaining silent. Matteo scanned his apartment key card for elevator access, and the doors slid open. With a gentle hand on the small of her back, he ushered her inside before stepping in himself. He then scanned his fingerprint and the floor where he

In the confined space of the elevator, the manly scent of the gorgeous man- tinged with a hint of spice and wood-overwhelmed her senses.
