*Door knock*
"Come in!"
"Hi" said Elena
Wow! She is really beautiful wait isn't this Elena.... I can't believe this Richard said I would be a bad influence to her she is as innocent as flower.Hmmm...well it wouldn't hurt to try even though she doesn't remember me *smirk*
"Hi please sit" said Richard
"Elena this is Camilla. She is an old friend of mine since highschool and Camilla this is Elena. She is staying with us for the time being."
"Hi" I said
"Hello"
"So what you do in this big old place that Richard has."
"Well... There isn't much to do since your meals are being cooked for you but I enjoy walking in the garden."
"I know, big mansions are not all great." I said
"So where you from?" she said
"I'm from Italy"
"Your accent is just so great."
"I've never been complimented on my accent before except for one person." I said with laughter
"And who was that?" Elena asked
"Oh someone from long ago" I said
"Is that so?" said Elena
"Yes..." I said sadly
"I see that you are both getting along well, Oh Elena, before I go what was it that brought you by?" asked Richard
"Oh yeah. I wanted to ask if I could get my bag back."
"I'm afraid that's not possible."
"Why not" she said
"Because it has been how can I say 'disposed off' " said Richard
The look of anger and frustration could be seen in her face.
"How could you do that!" said Elena standing up
"I'm sure nothing in particular was important. It is just a bag"
"Just a bag!"
"Calm down Elena" I said
"Do you know how much of my work I spent on it? My time and dedication to do this, there was an important piece of evidence that was in that bag!" Elena said
"Elena please you don't worry about it. Maybe that important piece of evidence could of put you in danger."
"It actually did put her in danger. Why do you think she is here now?" Richard said
"Richard would you shut up for 5 seconds. Can't you see what you have done!"
"But I-"
"Uh-ah no talking. Come on Elena let's go and Richard you will be hearing from my father!" I said and we were leaving the room
"What?" He said
Walking in the hallway there was only silence. No one dared to speak until I couldn't handle it anymore! I need to find out what happened to her. Why does she not remember me? Or even Richard?
"So what do you do? That the bag was well still is important to you?"
"I'm a journalist" she said looking down
"Wait are you the one that wrote the article on the American politician William Gates?!" I asked
"Yes."
"Oh my gosh! I'm such a fan of your work! I can't believe I'm meeting you in person!" I said shaking her hand without a chance of letting it go.
"The pleasure is all mine. I can't believe you are a fan of my work. It's rare to find a Mafia's daughter appreciating your work." She said smiling
"You know who I am?" I said with widen eyes
"(Laughs) Of course! Richard introduced us,remember?" said Elena
"Yeah I know that but how did you know that I was a Mafia's daughter?"
"I noticed the jacket you wearing has the logo of the Bernadi's."
"Ohhhh"
"So yes I did know who you are but I wanted Richard to introduce us formally because it's my first time meeting such a well known person in society."
"Maybe to well known. Not everything is good in the society of my occupation." I said
"Well sometimes the good shown in your heart will project more to people than your occupation."
"Maybe someday" I said with smile
"Maybe someday it will and you never know when that day might come. Oh we have reached my room. I'll take my rest goodnight Camilla see you tomorrow." She said and closed her door.
"She still is the same old Elena. I wonder how Richard managed throughout these years without her?"I said and walk to my allocated room.
