Hi..
.

At Lyra’s party.
Sylvia Vento (FL's aunt)
(sipping tea)
Woman 2:- Mrs. Vento, how are you doing these days ?
Woman 1:- Nowadays, you don’t even attend any business parties or social events.
Sylvia Vento (FL's aunt)
🙂 Well, it’s just that I’ve been swamped with my work for a long time ago.
Woman 1:- Oh. But still, try to free yourself from work and indulge in other activities. It will give you peace of mind.
Samara Provence (Artemis's mom)
Don’t worry, ladies. Mrs. Vento will definitely be in touch with us. Isn’t it Mrs. Vento ? (smirks at Sylvia)
Sylvia Vento (FL's aunt)
Yes, Mrs. Provence. I will definitely keep in touch with you all since it’s a request of Mrs. Provence. (smiles at Samara)
Samara Provence (Artemis's mom)
* Let me see how long you can keep smiling..* (smiles evilly)
Samara Provence (Artemis's mom)
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
🥲* I feel like these two will dig each other’s grave over here..*

At Vento company…
Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)
(signing the documents)
KNOCK !! KNOCK !!
Eron (Alfredo's assistant)
(Went inside) Sir..
Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)
(looks at him) Yes..?
Eron (Alfredo's assistant)
Massimiliano Langley and his assistant is here to meet you..
Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)
(frowns) What !! Why are they here ? Also, without any appointment ..?
Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)
(rubs his head) * Why did he come here all of a sudden ? *
Eron (Alfredo's assistant)
Sir, it’s the first time that Massimiliano Langley has come to our company. Isn’t it a good deal to cooperate with Langley Enterprise ?
Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)
(looks at Eron) (nods) Hm.. Ok.. Let them in..
Eron (Alfredo's assistant)
(nods) OK..
Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)
* Let me see what his purpose is to come to this company. I’m sure that he didn’t come for any corporation..*
Matt and Lucius went inside Alfredo’s office..
Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)
(stood up from his chair) Hello Mr. Langley.
Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)
(forward his hand for a hand shake)
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
(shakes hand) ❄️ Hello.
Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)
(shakes hand with Lucius) Hello..
Lucius Bayne (ML's secretary/BFF)
(🤝) ❄️Hello..
Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)
Please, have a seat..
Matt and Lucia sat down on the couch.
.

Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)
So, Mr. Langley, may I know your reason for visiting my company..?
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
❄️Mr. Vento, I don’t like to beat around the Bush. So I will get straight to the point.
Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)
(looks at Matt sternly)
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
❄️I want the land on the X district. Please, tell me your price. I’m ready to pay any amount you offer.
Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)
(widened his eyes)
Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)
* I knew it. He can never go to a place unless it benefits him.*
Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)
(cold voice ) ❄️ So you came here for this reason..?
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
❄️Yes, Mr. Vento.
Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)
❄️ I’m sorry to say this but that land is not for any sale. It’s the property of the Vento, which is left by Bella’s parents for her and her brother.
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
(clench his fist)
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
❄️ How much do you want..?
Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)
❄️ I don’t want any amount. Moreover, there’s no use in telling me these all because the actual owner of that land is Bella.
Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)
❄️ Mr. Langley, I know your intention of purchasing that land. But I suggest you search for any other land.
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
(looks at Alfredo with a darkly)
Lucius Bayne (ML's secretary/BFF)
(looks at Matt ) 🤦♂️ * God, this man is going to start a scene. It’s better I step in..*
Lucius Bayne (ML's secretary/BFF)
Mr. Vento, is it possible to have a talk with Ms. Vento since she’s the owner ?
Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)
(hesitate) That I think she..
Lucius Bayne (ML's secretary/BFF)
(business smile) Mr. Vento, it will be better if we have a talk with her.
Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)
💢💢 * I don’t want her to face this b@st@rd..*
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
(gnash his teeth) * I don’t want to meet that woman, but I don’t even have any choice.*
Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)
But.. (looks at Matt) Even if I call her, do you think that she will agree ?
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
❄️❄️ That can be seen later, Mr. Vento. First, you call her so that we can have a proper conversation.
Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)
(nods)
Alfredo calls Bella to come to the company, but he didn’t say that she had to meet Matt.

Ariana’s POV
” I was pondering why Uncle called me to go to his company. “
” My heart started beating fast due to fear that maybe uncle forgot to take his inhaler, since he has an acute asthma problem. So, I ran into Uncle’s room and rummaged through his drawer to get his inhaler.”
” I thought maybe he forgot to take his inhaler. That’s why he called me to his company..”
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
(looks at the inhaler) * But he would say if he had any problem. And his voice also seemed fine..*
” Without thinking much, I rushed to the company without changing my house clothes.”
Ariana’s POV ends.
.
.
Bella reached the company..
Bella rushed towards the Chairman’s office.
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
(huffing ) Brother Eron..💨 hah 💨 Where is uncle..hah💨 ?
Eron (Alfredo's assistant)
(stood up from his chair) What happened to you, Miss..? Why are you panting so much..?
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
(worried as hell)😟 Where is Uncle..? Is everything alright..? Where is he..? Why didn’t he take an inhaler with him today..?
Eron (Alfredo's assistant)
(consoling her while patting her head) Miss, miss. Everything is fine. Sir called you here for some other matter. And he already has an inhaler in his office, too.
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
Really..?
Eron (Alfredo's assistant)
Yeah. 🤨What made you think that he needs an inhaler..? Did he tell you..?
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
(shook her head) It’s just popped in my mind while thinking that why he had called me in the company.
Eron (Alfredo's assistant)
OK. You can go in. There is someone along with your uncle who wants to meet you..
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
Who..?🤨
Eron (Alfredo's assistant)
(shrug) Go in and see who it is.. (grinning)
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
(weird look) You’re giving me goosebumps. (rubs her shoulder)
Bella entered inside the with a knock..
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
Uncle..?
Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)
Come in, dear..
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella

Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
