ALESSANDRO’S POV
I kept zoning out between works after getting the phone call from Victoria. I can’t just let go of her angered and cold tone. She is someone that meant everything to me, and I got to realize it after she left me.
The whole day, I kept urging Calvin if he got her location, and he kept repeating that he was trying. I don’t blame him; she was prepared when she called me so I couldn’t find her location.
She thought I had released Camilla, but that’s not the truth! I would never do that! I believe I felt the most satisfied when Camilla was apprehended for her unlawful actions, and I am confident that none of my family members were involved. I would have been aware of the situation if they had attempted to take any actions without my knowledge.
Soon enough, Calvin rushed into my office. I looked at him with expectations, but his next words ruined my mood solely as it was nothing related to Victoria.
“Sir, DW Wine Corp is going to hold a banquet next week and send you an invitation.”
My brows furrowed in severe confusion, “DW Wine Corp?” I muttered the name and looked up at my assistant, who seemed puzzled.
He nodded. “Yes, sir.”
“What’s the reason behind their sudden invitation to me? I thought the director is from Europe and only invites people from his ground?” I tapped on the desk.
“Maybe, we recently invested in a wine company, and that’s why he has invited us?” With a short pause, Calvin added, “but one thing is must, whoever director he is, he must have great business acumen. This is evidenced by their ability to expand their business throughout the United States within a few years.”
I nodded, agreeing with Calvin. He is right; at least the merging says that, but one thing is for sure, the director likes to keep himself a mystery. No media has got a clear picture of him.
There is uncertainty regarding his age and background, with some claiming he is young while others claim he is old. This ambiguity has led to some suspicion about him.
“So, do you want to accept the invitation, sir?” He asked.
“Yeah, accept it. Let’s see who this mysterious person is,” I replied, concentrating on the PC screen again.
Mysterious?... Wait! Suddenly a possibility crossed my mind, and I looked up at my assistant.
“Calvin?”
“Yes, sir?” He paused, turning to face me.
“Do you think there is a possibility for DW to be related to the White family?” I asked for his opinion.
He thought for some time and frowned. “Lots of things could happen, sir. Hearing you, it also seems like a major chance.”
“Then start a new investigation. This time connect these two. I need immediate results, Calvin.”
“Yes sir,” and he walked out of the office, making my mood gloomy again. I was preoccupied for several minutes with the idea of lacking sufficient information about Victoria.
The next few hours, I was drowned in work, and Calvin finally forced me to wrap up for the day.
Frankly, I don’t want to leave the office because I am not inspired to return home, but I have to at the end of the day. I don’t want to go miserable when I finally see her, and I want to look presentable.
So, I did leave.
Sitting in the car, I kept leaning against the seat, feeling tired, as if all the energy had been drowned out of me.
No matter what I do, think, or wherever I look, only one person developed her place in my every direction.
Victoria...
