Chapter 13 - THOUGHTS

Luca paced around his office his mind racing, his thoughts about Amelia and the events of the previous night, but he felt no guilt or regret. Instead he felt a sense of power and satisfition, he relished the feeling of being in control and he knew that from now she will fear him and that's what he wanted to be feared.

Luca's thought was interrupted by a knock on the door, he turned to see his assistant standing in the doorway with a nervous expression on her face. "I'm sorry to disturb you,sir" he said, but there's an urgent matter that requires your attention ". Luca raised an eyebrow, curious to know what could possibly be so important, "what is it? He asked, his tone sharp.

The assistant hesitated for a moment before taking a deep breath and continuing, "there's been an incident at one of our factories, one of the machine malfunctioned and there have been injured" Luca's expression remained u changed but he knew that this could be a public relations disaster and he needed to act quickly to contain the damage, "What kind of injured? He asked, his tone even and controlled.

"Several workers were injured and one in a critical condition, the assistant replied his voice shaking, " the media is already starting to report on the incident and there's been alot of negative attention. I think we need to release a statement as soon as possible".

Luca considered the situation, weighing the risks and benefits of different course of action, "I"ll need more information before I can make a decision, he said " gather all the details and bring them to me, the assistant nodded and left closing the door behind him.

Luca sat back down at his desk, as he waited for the details of the incident, he thought about the potential fallout. The media could spin the story in a way that would be very damaging to the company's reputation, he knew he needed to be careful but he also needed to be decisive. After what felt like an eternity his assistant returned with a folder full of papers, "here's everything about the incident " he said, placing the folder on his desk.

Luca opened it and began to read, his eyes scanning the pages quickly.
