"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 I 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, I 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.
