Chapter 40 A Lonely Wait

• Lily waited. Who was Giovanni busy with? Who was that woman with him?
• The faint click of polished shoes on the marble floor caught her attention. She turned, expecting to see Giovanni’s broad shoulders and familiar cologne, but instead, it was Jimmy. She wasn't very close to him. Unlike Luca, she hardly met him, but Lily knew that Jimmy was Giovanni's trusted ally. Lily felt a pang of disappointment as she realized that Giovanni was still occupied with the mysterious woman.
• "Lily," he greeted, inclining his head slightly. "Sorry to keep you waiting."
