Chapter 86

• Who did he think he was to give her something like that? What kind of woman did he think he was dealing with? He couldn't ignore the last of the gifts, jewelry was not like a bouquet of flowers that could easily be destroyed and thrown away, or chocolates that could be easily given away, no, jewelry had a much more valuable, and also compromising meaning. If she remained passive like with the other gifts, the man could interpret it differently and the last thing she wanted was for him to think that. So, she managed with the help of Paulina, who was the only one who knew what was going on, to get the contact information of the renowned Italian and visit him in his office to return the earrings and demand that he never send her anything again.
• She requested permission from Vittorio, excusing herself by saying she had a doctor's appointment to be absent for a few hours and do what she had planned.

She would settle everything once and for all and when Dominic was in London, which would not happen for another two weeks because the trip had been extended for fifteen more days, unfortunately, she would tell him everything in great detail, from the gifts to her visit to that place.

She stayed outside for a while, wondering if what she was doing was right, while contemplating the huge structure in front of her of about thirty floors, which, although not larger than the Lombardo empire, was quite imposing.
