Lizzy was making the bed, she felt better and was starting to worry about her friend Napo, it was later than she usually left him alone.
"Where are you going?" Enzo interrupts.
"I must leave, I appreciate your hospitality, but my dog is waiting for me" she replies calmly.
"The doctor ordered you to rest" he insists.
"Mr. Manccini, I'm fine, I regret the misfortune" she says gratefully.
Lizzy prepares to leave, but Enzo stops her.
"Wait, I think I owe you an apology, I shouldn't have spoken in that tone" he says somewhat embarrassed.
"Are you apologizing, Mr. Manccini?" Lizzy says amused.
"Don't make this harder" Enzo says somewhat seriously.
"Dad?" Lorenzo surprises.
Lizzy smiles at him when she sees him, but the little one remains in a cold tone.
"Champ, do you need something?" he asks curiously.
"It's time for my story, I want to sleep" Lorenzo complains.
Lizzy observes the scene and is surprised to see Enzo's attitude change from a hundred to zero, he was completely different.
"Son, I have an important meeting, can you wait a few minutes?" Enzo asks his son.
"We can do something while your dad finishes his meeting" Lizzy interjects.
Enzo observes her irritated, but observes his son's face softening his gestures.
"Lizzy slowly approaches Lorenzo, he was not very convinced, but accepts Lizzy's help."
"Do you know the story of Moby Dick?" Lorenzo asks.
"It is not down on any map; true places never are" "Lizzy replies."
This makes Lorenzo smile, he was a boy with one of the most beautiful smiles that existed, too bad he didn't do it very often.
"I promise I won't be long, it will only be a few minutes" Enzo repeats.
"What do you think Lorenzo if you show me your room" Lizzy says, while Enzo takes the opportunity to leave.
"It's over there" Lorenzo replies.
Lizzy is surprised to see how skilled the little one was in his wheelchair, they quickly reach his room, Lizzy's face said it all, it was a mega room, with all possible comforts.
"Your room is beautiful, you have all imaginable comforts" Lizzy says still with her surprised face.
"Are you going to stand there or are you going to read my story?" Lorenzo says somewhat irritated.
"Oh, I'm sorry, you're right, let's read" Lizzy replies embarrassedly.
Lorenzo indicates where the book was.
"Do you want me to help you?" she asks.
"I can do it alone" the child replies.
She smiles and sits on the desk, delicately crosses her legs with the disposition to start reading.
After a while, Enzo carefully enters the room, while Lizzy covers him with his blanket and proceeds to turn off the lamp.
"The meeting took longer than usual" Enzo says.
"Don't worry, Lorenzo fell asleep quickly" she replies.
"A van is waiting outside to take you home, I deposited the advance payment in your account, you can sign the contract tomorrow" Enzo says abruptly.
"Oh, well, we hadn't reached any agreement, Mr. Manccini" Lizzy says timidly.
"You have read my son's favorite book, that is enough for me" he smiles.
For the first time Lizzy observes Enzo smile, although he seemed exhausted, his eyes lacked shine and a couple of dark circles revealed his fatigue, he was still handsome.
"How did you know my account number?" it only occurs to her to ask that question.
"I know everything about you, Miss Rocci, not just anyone enters my house" he says in a cold tone.
Enzo turned back and put on his vest, he was the usual one.
"You know the way out, good night Miss Rocci" Enzo says for the last time leaving the room.
This leaves Lizzy full of doubts, but she heads to where she rested for the food she had saved for Napo, she smiles incredulously when she remembers that Enzo had deposited money in her account, so she checks and to her surprise she had an account with several thousand, she smiles from ear to ear, she could finally buy a decent cupboard, food for Napo and pay some bills, without delay she quickly leaves there.
On the way to her house she asks the driver to drop her off a few streets below, she was going to buy groceries, she would finally have enough to eat decently, it takes a few minutes and she finally arrives at her longed-for house, her faithful friend celebrates that she finally arrived.
"My Napo, I brought food, no more soda crackers, she serves him his favorite food in the bowl."
She watches him eat happily and that was enough, she puts on her pajamas and checks the notification of her email, Enzo had sent some documents for her to sign, this deeply calls her attention.
"Labor contract of Miss Lizzy Rocci" it said in the subject.
● Total and exclusive confidentiality in relation to what is inside my house and surroundings, in case of failing this, a fine of one million dollars will be imposed.
● You may not expose yourself publicly with Lorenzo Manccini, without authorization.
● You will have two Sundays off a month, and in case you need their services outside of working hours, you will be paid overtime, your schedule will be Monday to Friday from 7am to 3pm and Saturdays will be practical workshops from 10am to 4pm, the Sundays that you have to be in Lorenzo's care is because I have pending trips.
● You must be available when required and if you need a permit, request it three days in advance.
Lizzy is surprised by this contract, it was somewhat exaggerated, but she needed the job, she couldn't think much, she urgently needed this job.
...****************...
"Am I interrupting?" Mila knocks on the door.
Enzo gets up from the chair and drops the folder he had in his hand, he was somewhat uncomfortable.
"I'm going to rest, it was a quite exhausting day, you should do the same" he orders Mila.
"Yes, I'm going to sleep, I just wanted to say good night" she smiles.
Enzo kisses Mila's head and retires, curiosity can and Mila checks the folder that Enzo was reading so attentively and a photo of Lizzy appears, she appeared walking a dog, another photo of Lizzy walking quietly, photos of the outside of a building, something old and clearly spoke of her daily routine, Mila leaves the folder as it was and leaves the office.
The next day, Lizzy was in the waiting room of Manccini industries, Enzo had summoned her to talk about the contract, she didn't know why, but she was trembling with fear, being close to him made her feel insecure, her hands were trembling, she tried with all her strength to maintain her sanity.
"Miss Rocci?" says a beautiful young woman.
"Yes" Lizzy smiles.
"Mr. Manccini is waiting for you, please follow me."
Lizzy gets up from the chair and walks behind the young woman, she walks her through a set of very elegant offices, only the woman's heels were heard.
"Do you want something to drink?" she asks.
"A coffee" thank you very much, Lizzy replies.
"Continue this way, the gentleman is waiting for you" says the girl and retires.
Lizzy crosses the door mural and comes face to face with Enzo, he was waiting for her leaning on his desk, he seemed casual.
"Mr. Manccini, good morning" Lizzy says.
"Miss Rocci, I hope you are feeling better" he says seriously.
"I am, thank you" she replies calmly.
Enzo indicates that she should take a seat and moves to the other side of his desk.
"Any objections?" he asks curiously.
"Mmh, well, Mr. Manccini, some concerns."
