"Princess, after dinner I want a word with you at my office."

The food got stucked at my throat for what he just said and swallowed it audibly before looking at his emerald eyes.

"Am I in trouble?" I asked before playing with my food.

'Why he needs to talk to me at his office? Why not here?' I ask mentally, and the guilt started to hit me because for 5 days up to now, I still not telling him that I'm painting a boy, and Ace is his name.

Eventhough Mama knew about it, she told me that I can tell him once I'm ready.

"No Princess and why you would be in trouble?" He asks while raising his brow. I shook my head as reply and eat again my food. I've noticed also that his voice is quite sweet so I'm sure that he's in good mood.

'Good, so today might be the right time to drop the bomb.'

And I smile to myself.

Once we're done with our dinner, I scurriedly go back to my room to check my phone. I squealed silently and burried my face on my soft pillow when I saw Ace's message on the screen. And once I recovered, I quickly replied as I smile like crazy-13-year-old-girl after her crush noticed her.

Yay

Soon, my fingers don't stop from composing messages as we exchanging simple yet sweet messages. I don't know how long we're on our phone but the smile never falter on my face until something kick on my brain.

"Oh my gosh! Papa expecting me to his office!" I blurted out and hurriedly run outside my room.

I'm panting like a horse when I reached his door. So once I put myself together, I knock on his door for few times to let him know that I'm here. I heard him says 'enter' and open the door.

Why do I have to knock eventhough I don't have to?

Well, it's because I'm scared that my mother is there and I might see things that quite unsuitable to my innocent eyes.

And I was indeed correct because my mother has disheveled hair, red cheeks and swollen lips.

"Hi baby, sorry for keeping you waiting. I'll go now." My mom says before kissing my cheek and leave us alone. Father didn't say anything and motioned for me to take my seat in front of his desk.

"So?" I ask

"It's about Mafia princess. After three weeks you need to go to Italy to attend this seminar for a week."

Hmm.

I hum in reply. I've heard this kind of seminar before and it's purely intented to all the future leader of Mafia all over the world. It's about you know future alliances and how to make their Mafia on top and keep it there.

"Do you want to go? It's alright if you don't want to, they will understand."

"I'll go, and it's school break so it's alright to attend that seminar." I replied with smile that he absolutely love because he smiles back. Deciding that it's time to tell him about the painting.
