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,”

‘Do I really need to be yelled at? I’m not deaf. Ella frowned, too irritated to even reply.

But Bernard didn’t realize how annoyed she felt and kept shouting, “Ella? Mrs. Moretti?” When Ella didn’t respond, he switched to “Mrs. Moretti.”

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.”

‘Rip? Why?‘ Bernard was speechless.

Ella removed her hand and glared fiercely at Bernard, leaving him utterly confused.

She had been too timid in front of Lorenzo, crying whenever she made a mistake. But now, she even acted out of anger. Bernard could help but wonder just how much pressure had Lorenzo put on her–she seemed to be on the edge.

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.

Ella glanced at him, feeling bad. She had met the significant people around Lorenzo, and in her opinion, Bernard was probably the most unreliable of them all.
