Chapter 28

LORENZO POV

“The Marketing Director has already reviewed this plan President. And we would like to know what you think of it.” One of the employees called out from the end of the boardroom desk. I was sitting at the head of it with my big giant seat nodding my head while my mind was evidently out of this place.

“Hmmm.” I hummed softly and they passed the folder to Valerie who quickly opened it and presented it before my eyes. I went through the first page and turned to the second. Suddenly, my phone vibrated inside my pocket and I quickly fished it out! The text was from Vernero and it read:

Your little Tesoro is on the run.

“Redo the plan and submit it tomorrow,” I informed closing the folder, and quickly got out of m y seat and left the boardroom with people scratching their heads.

Valerie was quick behind me and soon, the driver was swerving through the roads back to Dark Woods. Upon our arrival, I found Vernero already dressed in this two-piece suit with a black tie on ready to hit the road. He wasn’t the one with a tie so the first two buttons of his

shirt were unbuttoned revealing his manly and tattoo-covered sternum.

“Where is she?” I asked nodding to Valerie; she scurried off towards the East Wing.

“At the police station.” He replied already making his way towards the entrance. A small smile pulled up on my lips and we left. The drive to the station was filled with the conversation of how witty and clever she was when executing her escape plan. I was rather proud of her attempt and her quick way of thinking. Especially because she managed to escape under Ciello’s watchful eye. Now mind you, Ciello was our best man, and Vernero’s right hand! But our little kitten managed to run off right under his nose.
