-Eleonora-

"What if we put on different marriage quotes?" Jenny asked

"Hm that's a big no" Miles responded "put a picture of their vineyard...done" 

We were now discussing more options for the marketing of the new edition of Bouborn Wine, tomorrow was the big presentation and we couldn't find anything that made any sense.

When I accepted this job I had so many ideas for it now they all seem trashy ideas that Alfonso and Blanca will not like.

If I didn't present a nice idea tomorrow Blaze will make my life a living misery...he already does it, to be honest.

Do you know what its like to wake up in agony? Just by knowing what your breakfast is going to be? I have to drink that green disgyatim juice for a week... A whole week, I'm on the second day and I'm already in despair.

"Just name it Alfonso and Blanca, to 30 years of marriage" Jennifer said.

"It's not a bad idea, but that was her first idea and now she doesn't want it" Miles commented while eating the candieson the center table of my office

"Didn't you say they were a very lovey-dovey couple? " she questioned me but Miles was the one answering with a nod "This is a great idea !" she exclaimed

"I don't feel like it's the right one. I feel like it's not their priority to show their love" I let out

"Well you're the one who would know that..." Miles said, I frowned looking at him "What? You're the one who has a public marriage"

"He's right!" Jennifer said taking another candy

"You're right!" I cheered, I took a paper and left the office

"Where are you going?" I heard Miles question from afar

"The top floor!" I said near the elevator. I needed to establish a couple of priorities, so I needed some opinions from someone who knew them too... Blaze.

"Good Morning Mrs.Eleonor!" Lisa greeted, oh look at that from Eleonora to Eleonor or proximity is improving

"Hello Lisa!" I said walking through the hallway

"I will warn Mr.Maxwell you're here" she shouted since I was already to far away near his office in front of Connor's secretary

"Mrs.Maxwell you-" he tried to say but I instantly got in the door closed behind me and I sensed the cold environment, this office had a good soundproof. When you entered it, it almost like you weren't in the big building, it was a room apart from everything and everyone. I looked around at the boring black office and caught him writing on his computer.

"Should I teach you to knock?" he questioned

"You could but I would still not do it" I commented

"What could you possibly want today ?" he asked, a bit of annoyance on his tone

"Glad you asked" I placed the paper on his table and sat in front of him, where usually his clients would. I could I never sat in these comfortable black chairs? Wow this is really satisfying!

"I need an opinion" I said looking at his concentrated face on the computer. I really am invisible to this guy... "You met the Brocotta's-"

"You haven't come up with an idea? Your presentation is tomorrow!" he noted finally looking at me

"Thanks for the information! " I said sarcastically

"You haven't done it yet?" He asked with a speck of concern on his voice

"That's why I'm here! I want to do this right! They are very important people with a very important business!"

"You should be rehearsing your presentation and don't even have a first idea?" he questioned, ok it sounds really bad saying it that way maybe it really was bad. I knew it was bad.

"Ok it sounds bad I know?"

"Bad? Eleonora I trusted you this important matter! This puts my company on the line for entering Europe-"

"I know!" I interrupted him "That's why I want this to be perfect"

"To be perfect we should've presented the idea to the Brocotta's last week" he alerted with a serious face on

"I know!"

"You know? I begged them to give one more week and one day before the presentation you are here on my office asking for opinions"

"Stop scolding me for one second and listen to me!" I exclaimed a bit loud caught g his attention, he laid back on his chair with a serious face on whoever he gestured me to proceed and start talking

"This first idea was this" I gave him one paper that showed the first idea I had back in Italy that Blanca loved "Blanca liked that idea. When we were in Italy that was the first though that occurred and she liked it a lot"

"Then it's done, go with it" he said handing me the paper again

"No! I don't think that's what they really want!"

"What do you mean, you said she liked it. That's enough she likes it you choose it." He said simply, I rolled my eyes taking breath. How will I explain him that this idea doesn't seem that great right now.

"I think that's not what they are looking for" I declared "You met them, what do they like?"

"They like respect, family, values... They like celebrating love" He enumerated

"Celebrating love?"

"Yes?! Isn't that why we went to Italy just because they wanted to celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary? This is the right option" he said pointing at the paper of my first idea

I got up thinking...Celebrating love?! That rings a bell but to what?

"What did you say they liked?" I questioned

"Respect? Value? Love? Family?"

"Family!" I cheered happily "Who is their family?"

"Eachother? Where are you getting with this?" he questioned my crazy behavior

"And?"

"And what? They have each other and..." then he paused looking in my eyes as if his brain had suddenly connected with mine "Francesco"

"Francesco!" I cheered "The name of the new edition"

"Are you sure about this?" he questioned

"I can place some slogans under it, every bottle will have a different slogan like 'Celebrating Love', 'Love is Love', 'Drink with Pride', 'Diversity Wine'... Oh oh ' Born this way'" I smiled at my new ideas

"Born this way might be too much" he commented

"Whatever it's perfect, I take the rainbow colors tone it a bit darker place a string up and down, the name francesco pops up and the random slogan. It's perfect!" I said jumping looking at my papers "what do you think?"

"If you think that is it go for it, show me the best you got" he stated

"I will!" I smiled

"Now give those jumps of joy to the elevator and work on it..." he said

"Ok!" I said walking to the door

"Wait!" he stopped me I looked around catching his grey eyes, I hummed in response

"Hum?"

"Give me back my candies" he said looking at the center table near the sofas, I gave a small smile...

"Candies?"

"The candies that were on that table that now are on your office"

"Oh those candies?"

"Yes!" he nodded calmly

"Well if you want them so much you know my floor" I said waving my hand and getting of his office

I worked the all the day on the new logo and the marketing way of this new product. This was it, this was the idea that I wanted to sell to the Brocottas.

I was home and finishing some touches on my computer for tomorrow's presentation when Dorothy caught my attention "You news to eat Miss!" she exclaimed placing a plate with food next to me "It's your rump cover meat, I know how much you like it! "

"Thanks Dorothy!" I smiled not taking my eyes off the computer

"You two are more alike than you think" she mumbled

"We are not! This is just a day he does it every day" I defended myself cutting my steak

"One day, two day... Next thing I know you have another office on this house and there's no one at the table to eat" she pouted, I got up with a smile seeing Dorothy's sadness and hugged her from behind.

"Oh Dorothy don't be sad" I said laying my head on her shoulder, she tapped my right cheek calmly

"You should have more time as a couple. You need to enjoy while you can!" she advised. This is a fake relationship but even if, for some oddly reason was true, Blaze wouldn't be very helpful on that department, his priority is work and will always be. I thank the heavens this is just some contract marriage otherwise I would've probably be going crazy and lonely.

"We managed to get time for us, don't worry " I calmed her down letting her go with a kiss on the cheek

"I hope so"

"We even went to Italy a few weeks ago. Don't be sad Dorothy!" I gave her a smile trying to find the best excuse so the woman didn't think our relationship was coming to an end

"Thankfully Mr.Maxwell was chosen you. No other person would handle him so well like you do, somehow you manage to understand him." she said more relieved, barely did she knew I was probably the worst person on the catalog of 'Knowing Blaze'

"What can I say I'm like this" I said sitting down

"I'm going to clean those rooms downstairs and then will be off, please eat Miss!" she informed me, I nodded making a thumbs up while she disappeared into the hall.

I can't rest. This due tomorrow and this needs to look great!

-Blaze-

"If you must know Mr.Maxwell, there isn't much I could find of Mr.Mancini like you asked. It's like he has no records, no information..." Connor explained.

I took a deep breath looking at the street outside. "Sir, we are here" the driver said.

I looked to my side catching Connor scaling through his papers "I will have to call Lou then"

"Is this that serious to call Mr.Marshall? I think this is more dangerous than you think sir" Connor advised, however I was determined to know who that man was, who he really was, what he really did and why did he know me, and what was his interest in Eleonora. I need to know.

"Yes. It is!" I stated getting out of the car "Call him tomorrow to see if I can meet him when he has what I want" Connor nodded and I closed the car door, being greeted by the lobby boy which Eleonora kept telling me reminded her of Zero from the Grand Budapest Hotel

"Good Night sir!" The boy smiled while showing his unsymmetrical teeth

"Good Night!" I said bowing my head and elevating my hand to greet him. I entered inside where the reception employees greeted me and entered the elevator for my penthouse.

Once upstairs I took of my shoes and coat and walked in the dark to the kitchen, that's when my eyes catch a glimpse of light from the kitchen table. I furrowed my eyebrows together trying to deceive what it was, the light came of from a screen, a computer screen and next to it, was Eleonora's head laid on the table sound asleep.

I reached her watching her calm sleeping face and her half open mouth. I looked over at the computer seeing big letters with 'Francesco' on it. Suddenly I realised it was her presentation for tomorrow, next to her was an almost empty plate and a glass.

I presumed she had stayed up all this time finish the presentation. I did want to wake her up but her position wasn't the best one, she was all contorted in that chair.

I took a breath thinking of what to do. I grabbed the plate and the glass and placed it on the sink. Calmly I took the computer from under her face so she wouldn't wake up.

"Eleonora, wake up!" I whispered next to her "you need to go to bed" . Nothing. She had a very heavy sleep I tried to shook her and talk to her again but nothing.

I placed one arm under her knees and other on her upper back, I slides her to me and raised her in the air. "For someone who eats a lot you're pretty light. " I said to myself

She gave a deep breath while resting her head on my chest, making a burn sensation on my skin. I frowned at weird sensation and carried her bridal style upstairs till her bedroom.

I laid her in the bed and she placed herself in a comfortable position, she was wearing some sort of pijamas and her slippers, I took of the slippers and grabbed the pink blanket at the end of the bed to cover her up.

For a moment I watched her sink in her sleep and sleep peacefully. I tilted my head while watching the hair falling on her face.

"What am I doing?" I asked myself, questioned my bizarre behaviour, with that thought I quickly left the bedroom leaving her sleeping.
