Alessia breathed in the Croatian air as she was helped down the jet. It was still very early in the morning when she arrived. Despite saying she would get some rest on the jet, she didn't sleep a wink. After a long while of tossing, she decided to look through some papers and signed a few documents.
Thomas had sent a text while she was still in the air, urging her to pay a visit to the company in Croatia before she went anywhere else.
"Set a meeting for 7:00 a.m.," she told her assistant, who had tagged along, worried about her health.
By the time they drove to the company, it was a few minutes to 7, so she took a short stroll in the office.
"I see you're still so fond of the lilies."
"Yes, Mr. Petterson."
"Good morning, Miss Alessia. Welcome to our thriving company," he said with his friendliest smile as he extended a handshake.
This was met with a polite small smile as she just brushed her hands against his briefly.
