Emily's phone pinged, showing an incoming video call from Matteo-the man who constantly occupied her thoughts. Biting her bottom lip and struggling to contain her excitement, she answered the call and propped her phone in front of her. Matteo's handsome face appeared on the screen, stealing her breath away. He was in his lawyer's suit, sitting in what looked like the corner of his office near the courtroom.

"Aren't you supposed to be in court, arguing your case and proving your client right?" she teased, though her face radiated the happiness she felt inside.

"Baby, I miss you," Matteo replied, his voice dripping with hopeless romance as he gazed at her lovingly. "So, I asked the judge to wait a moment while I talk to my beloved."

"Huh! Such a liar you are," she reproached playfully, narrowing her eyes, knowing he was exaggerating.

Matteo chuckled. "Okay, mon amour, you got me. I asked for a break without explaining why, but..." He paused, his heart overflowing with love for this incredible woman who was his. "I miss you, and that part is the truth."

"Alright, I believe you, Mr. Vinci," Emily replied softly.

"Thank you, Miss Yang," Matteo sighed, his eyes locked on her face displayed on the screen. "Listen, chérie, I'll pick you up after work."

"No need," Emily shook her head shyly.

"I'm picking you up after work because we're going on a date," he stated, making his intentions clear.
