Chapter 158: Confrontation
I ended up wearing a form-fitting white dress, but I ended up packing a set of more casual clothing for the painting lesson in the evening. The excitement I had for the lesson with Lucas was the only thing motivating me to go to work.
By the time I made it to the front doors, my driver was already waiting for me.
"A late morning today, Second Miss?" he asked, trying his best to mask the dissatisfaction of having to wait on me.
"Yes, I had a hard time sleeping," I said flatly. I could never put my finger on exactly what caused this uncomfortable rift between me and the driver, but it’s been more than once now that he’s displayed dissatisfaction.
I climbed into the car and sat silently as he drove me to the company. Unlike the previous times, I had no sense of excitement during the drive this morning. Instead, dread and other complex feelings surged through me.
What will I say when I see Christian? Will he ask me about Lucas? Will he ask me where I was?
A part of me wanted him to explain himself. To explain exactly what he meant when he said that he wanted to destroy my family. And most of all, to explain what he meant by never falling in love with a Moresi.
I wanted to hear him tell me straight up what I was to him this whole time. I wanted to know the truth.
The driver pulled up in front of Vittora Global and got out to open the door for me.
"Second Miss. I’ve been told that you have another appointment after work now, and that you will no longer be in need of my services in the evenings."
Oh? Did Lucas make arrangements for me?
