Despite her composed appearance, her heart raced with nervousness. She had considered countless excuses to postpone the date, pushing it off as long as possible. But she had made a deal with Matteo Vinci, and whether it was today or some other day, she knew she had to go through with it. So, today it would be.

Emily slipped into her soft blush pink pumps and grabbed a beige Chanel clutch, completing her look with quiet sophistication.
Emily had never been on a date. Business meetings with clients or associates were part of her routine, but when it came to romance, she never found the time-or desire. After her divorce, she had thrown herself into her work, and living with Mia and her children had become her life.

Over the years, she had received plenty of attention from admirers, but she couldn't bring herself to trust another man. Her ex-husband had used her for his own gain and discarded her when it suited him, leaving a deep scar.

For the first time in his life, he was nervous-truly nervous. This wasn't his first date, far from it. In the past, he never needed to put in much effort. His charm and slick words were usually enough to get them into his bed before the night was even halfway through.
But this was different. Emily was different.
Matteo knew he couldn't rely on his usual tactics with her. That's why, for the first time, he'd done his homework. He'd taken the time to learn about her-her likes, her dislikes. As far as Matteo knew, Emily Yang wasn't someone easily impressed, and that only fueled his determination. He had never shied away from hard work in his entire life, and this was no different.

Her presence transformed the moment, infusing it with an undeniable magic. The world faded away, leaving only the captivating sight of Emily, illuminated by the soft glow of the evening light.
