Falling For The Blind Billionaire (Book 1)

Chapter 19: The Karmic

"Even if things don't unfold the way you expected, don't be disheartened or give up. One who continues to advance will win in the end." ― Daisaku Ikeda

GISELLA

Immediately I arrived at work, Leonora hugged me before I could even close the door to the office. "Oh, mia Cara Gisella, you're so good. How did you convince her assistant ?" Her voice was filled with amusement.

Sweat broke from my forehead, making me blush because of my excellent work. "Well...about this, maybe the assistant Pagruso considers our hard work and then persuaded her on our behalf," I simile lightly at her.

"Finally, we are done and dusted with the Princess," she says in a sing-song voice.

"So what if you are done with Principessa Infanta's Interview!" The angry voice spat from the entrance of the door.

We both turn around. "Team leader Conte! It bothers me when you interfere in our discussions. Your team has completed three remaining tasks, the second for us. Shouldn't we be happy?" Leonora flamed up angrily at Signora Conte.

With Leonora's statement, she flinched angrily. "If you guys are qualified to compare yourselves to us. Principessa Infanta is only royalty famous, but Signor Nicolo Caruso is the real deal. He is different. He might have been away from the business world for long, but his reputation is much higher than Principessa Infanta," she spat angrily, rolling her eyes, with her holding her hips.

Leonora and I were staring at her in a confused state. Not saying anything to her made her even angrier. "Isn't it because you've got some rich stone at your back? I don't believe that without anybody's help, you can still be able to see the Principessa," she added.

"What nonsense!" Leonora raises her voice at Signora Conte. Now I'm getting very pissed off, and I know she thinks that Pietro was helping me. What the hell. What problem does she have with me?

She rolls her eyes at us bluntly and turns away, about to exit the door. "And for you two to know, Signor Nicolo Caruso is coming for the interview, and my Team is in charge and did you know that he's the biggest fish that we are about to catch for the year being?" she smirks and exits our office.

I clench my hand angrily. Leonora grit her teeth in annoyance; I will wait till the day that she will be shocked that that biggest fish in the sea is no other person than my husband.

"Gisella!" Leonora wiped me away from my thoughts. I turn and look at her face. "I don't know why Signora Conte is against you and our team, but she's too hot-tempered. She can't bear to see us living well." she rolls her eyes at the closed door.

I signed tiredly. "I don't know...I don't know the problem she had with me. But let's go back to the public office downstairs." I say as I tap her shoulders to keep her calm. Leonora is childish and Idealistic, but for the time being, I notice that she is a hot-tempered person.

We entered the elevator together, going to the first floor. A few minutes later, we arrived at the main public publishing office, seeing everyone busy. Leonora and I head to our desk.

"Nicolo Caruso is here..." Russo's assistant yells to notify everyone to be on their best behavior and an orderly manner. With this, I cringed, and the document that I just held fell flat from my hand to the floor. Leonora turned in shock to look at me as everyone ran up and down to position themselves.

"Really? where...where...?" Tiziana runs out. "What is the problem? Gisella," Leonora questions as she picks up the document and hands it to me.

My words were lost. "It...it...not...nothing, nothing at all," I stammered.
