Kalina hung up the phone, her heart pounding with a mix of excitement and apprehension. She took one last look in the mirror, smoothing down the hem of her dress, and headed for the door. Her mind raced with thoughts of how Dominique would react, and she steeled herself for the encounter.
As she walked through the hotel, she caught several admiring glances from the staff and other guests. She felt a thrill of confidence building within her. When she reached the bar, she immediately spotted Vincenzo—a tall, handsome man with a charismatic smile. He stood out effortlessly, exuding an air of confidence and charm.
"Vincenzo?" Kalina asked, approaching him.
"Kalina, it's a pleasure to finally meet you," he said, taking her hand and kissing it lightly. "Mia has told me a lot about you."
"All good things, I hope," Kalina smiled, feeling a blush rise to her cheeks.
"Absolutely," he replied with a warm smile. "Shall we?"
