Ella was feeling very hungry. She tried to avoid seeing Lorenzo, especially during meal times. If she went down to eat when she wasn’t that hungry, she couldn’t eat much. But if she waited too long, she’d be starving.

She had often gone downstairs when Lorenzo was out. But now, his car was still parked outside. ‘Isn’t he busy anymore?‘ she thought. She considered going down, but feared running into him.

Just as she hesitated, there was a knock on the door. Then Bernard’s loud voice called from the doorway. “Ella, Lorenzo wants you in the study,”

That address really got on Ella’s nerves. She flung the door open and slapped Bernard right across the face.

Bernard was in complete shock.

As Ella’s hand connected with his face, she snarled, “What’s wrong with you? Keep talking and I’ll rip your mouth off.”

Bernard didn’t get mad at Ella for her outburst. Instead, he looked at her with sympathy. He cleared his throat and said, “Lorenzo wants to see you in his study.”

“What for?” Ella huffed, annoyed. She was trying her best to avoid meeting Lorenzo.

Listening to Stephani’s doubts over the phone and hearing how Lorenzo’s people referred to her made her anxious. They might actually believe that all her previous antics with Lorenzo were out of genuine affection–attempts to attract him.
