Chapter 45
Andrea was on edge, she had been on edge since she had that fight with Emil, he had been avoiding her since he left her room that night.
She had asked Julia where he was and she had informed her that he had spent the day in his study and was in a pretty foul mood.
Andrea felt bad about the fight but he was wrong, Lorenzo was a good man, she was certain of it, she just had to prove it to Emil.
But she had to speak to Lorenzo first, to understand what was going on, the issue was that she did not know how to do that, Emil had forbade her from seeing him so she was in a bind.
"You look like you have a lot on your mind Donna" Julia said.
Andrea was seated on a chair by the window and Julia was changing the sheets and arranging fresh flowers in the vase.
"I do have a lot on my mind" Andrea said.
"Is it because of your fight with the Don?" Julia asked.
"How did you know we had a fight?" She asked.
"It's not difficult to figure out, he is avoiding this part of the mansion, he is shutting himself in his study and he is a foul mood and you have been getting lost in your thoughts all day so I must be right" Julia said.
Andrea said nothing to this, there was nothing to say really, Julia was right.
Emil was certain upset but she had to be sure, she could not just accept what he said about someone she had known for years, she just had to speak to Lorenzo no matter what.
"Julia I need you to help me with something" Andrea said.
"Anything you need Donna, I am at your service after all" Julia said.
Andrea smiled and said "I need you to help me leave me the once without being followed by any of the guards, there's something I must do"
Julia frowned her face a little and said "Are you trying to sneak out of the house Donna? The Don will be very upset if he finds out I helped you if something goes wrong"
"You do not need to worry Julia, I will handle everything, I just need to get out of the mansion without anyone noticing" Andrea said.
Julia pondered for a moment before she said "I will do it Donna, I will let you know when it is safe to leave"
Andrea smiled and said "Thank you Julia, I will not forget this, I promise you"
Julia nodded with a smile and said "You do not need to thank me Donna, I am simply here to serve you"
Andrea was happy to have met Julia in the Ferrari house, she made her stay a lot more pleasant.
Julia completed her chores and left the room to complete the task assigned by her mistress.
Andrea heard the door close behind Julia, she
Stood up from the chair and walked in the direction of the table.
She had stayed long enough in her bedroom to know the arrangements and pattern of the room.
Once she got the room, she picked up her purse, opened it and pulled out her specially made phone.
She was not sure how her father got it made but it suited her perfectly.
It called out everything she touched and she could give instructions to do whatever she wanted.
Taking a deep breath, she said to the phone in her hand.
"Call Lorenzo" she said.
"Calling Lorenzo" the automated voice said.
It wasn't long before the sound of a ringing phone on the other end filled the room.
It took a few seconds and she was beginning to think that he wasn't going to pick up the phone and then, all of a sudden, she heard his voice.
"Andrea is that really you?" Lorenzo said.
Andrea cleared her throat and said "Lorenzo listen up, I don't have much time, meet me at the old library where we used to go before, I will be there in about an hour's time"
Lorenzo was silent for a while before he said "Are you certain you wish to see me? I remember you sending me away just a few days ago"
"This is not the time for tantrums Lorenzo, you better be there when I arrive, I am taking a huge risk coming to see you" Andrea said.
"Risk? What risk?" He asked, his voice had suddenly gone low and Andrea could not help the chill that went down her spine all of a sudden.
"It's nothing, you shouldn't worry about me" Andrea said.
"It's Emil, isn't it?" Lorenzo asked.
"1 hour Lorenzo, please be there" Andrea said and hung up the call.
She took a deep breath and let it out to calm her racing mind.
Andrea hoped that Lorenzo will be show up, she just had to be sure no matter what.
She wondered if Emil turned to be correct then her life would have felt like a lie, she had trusted Lorenzo blindly, she had loved him and trusted him unconditionally.
She prayed that Emil had made a mistake, she would be so heartbroken if it all turned to be true.
She murmured a short prayer and waited for Julia untill she was done with preparations.
