"Are you inside now?"
"No. I won't go in till you sleep."
"Are you always this stubborn?" Alessia asked, exasperated.

"Okay, I'm sleeping already." She replied, shutting her eyes close.

Thomas knocked on his door, entering before he got any response. "I'll be on my way now. The attack was made by Lady Montero. Even though we don't touch ladies, I suggest we act now because when tension sets in as we take over the company, things will get complicated."
"Just go home to your wife," Giovanni shooed him away like Thomas was an annoying bee by his ear.
