Lucy followed Leo through the villa, taking in the stunning views and elegant decor.
They walked to a spacious bedroom with a breathtaking view of the Italian hill side. Leo gestured to the room, his eyes still neutral.
"This will be your room," he said. "You'll have everything you need here."
Lucy nodded, feeling a sense of relief wash over her.
She had been worried about what would happen between them, but maybe this was a good sign.
Maybe Leo was willing to give her a chance.
As she looked around the room, Lucy noticed it was huge just to her liking.
She felt a flutter in her chest as she wondered if this meant anything. Was Leo giving her a chance to prove herself in every way?
Leo seemed to sense her gaze and turned to her, his eyes piercing. "I'll leave you to get settled," he said. "We'll have dinner in an hour. Be ready."
And with that, he turned and walked out of the room, leaving Lucy to wonder what the future held.
As she unpacked her bags wait her bags "fuck" she cursed guess am going shopping tomorrow, Lucy couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement.
What would dinner be like? Would Leo be cold and distant, or would he start to open up to her?
The questions swirled in her mind as she made her way to the dining room an hour later.
Leo was already seated, his eyes fixed a file he noticed her presence and dropped the file.
"Let's eat," he said, his voice neutral.
Lucy took a seat across from him, her heart pounding in her chest. What would happen next?
