Chapter 98

• Luca’s POV
• “Where did the whole bunch of paintings which were on this side of the wall go?” He asked in a low voice, confusion evident on the facial expression he was currently pointing at me. I shifted my weight from foot to foot and glanced up into the roof, dragging in a deep breath and puffing it out loudly out of my lungs, my hands moving up to start to unbutton the first three buttons of my shirt in tne next second, as I slowly lowered my head and stared back at James who was still obviously still waiting for a reply from me.
• “I took them all off.” I said to him and ran my fingers through my hair after a few seconds, feelimg the urge to take off my suit jacket as well as my inner shirt, suddenly everywhere was feeling really stuffy and like I really needed to drag in more deep and refreshing breaths into my lungs.
