章 232: Dreaming

Matteo sunk into his seat in his study. He'd spoken with the client, and just as he thought, he was extremely enraged about the attack. He relayed his need for discretion and his clumsiness when it came to making sure they were safe.

Matteo had spent ten whole minutes trying to pacify him and get him to talk about the deal that got them in the position in the first place. But after he'd ranted about all that agitated him, he concluded the call with a refusal to deal with him at the moment and hung up the call.

Filled with frustration and an unbearable need to lose himself in some sort of distraction, Matteo had decided to sit back in his study and drink himself to calm.

But just as he helped himself to another shot of whiskey, he lost interest completely. His mind was filled with thoughts of Stella.
