After a few moments he then nodded his head, "Just think about it, please" He said before someone cleared their throat.

It was Luca... and he didn't look too happy.

"What are you doing here Angelo?" He asked with his arms crossed.

Angelo then smiled at me before making his way towards he brother, "I'm here to discuss what we talked about of course" He responded back before walking towards Luca's office after waving at me.

A big sigh came from him before he looked at me, "I'm sorry about him. You don't have to agree with having dinner with us. He's just being-" He began.

"There's no need to apologize sir. In fact, I've decided that it might not be so bad after all... if that's okay with you" I told him. He then looked at me in surprise before a small smile formed on his lips.

"Alright then, if you're certain... how about tomorrow night?" He asked. I nodded my head in response, watching as he walked away.

Is this really okay?

Luca's POV

"Are you trying to scare her off?" I asked him, not caring how loud I was since the office was soundproof.
"Nina's not gonna run off just because I asked her to have dinner with us. I know what I'm doing" He shot back, now sitting on the couch.

Angelo was the oldest... but sometimes even I didn't believe it. We're half brothers. Same dad, different mom. Even though he's a pain in the ass, I'll always be there for him.

Both of our mothers and our father were once in a relationship. A poly relationship... but shit hit the fan and they all separated. I haven't spoke to my mom for about eight years now. It wasn't by choice, she just simply cut ties with me.

Angelo's mother still talks to both of us... she even calls me her son. I would always try and see her as my mom as well... but I couldn't.

While growing up, Angelo and I were interested in the same woman... at first I didn't quite understand.

We've been in a few relationships here and there, but it never worked. Most of the girls either wanted our money or favored one over the other.

I just about gave up until I met Nina. The moment I met her for the interview a few years back, I felt like she was the one. There was something different about her. My brother felt the same way when he met her as well.

She's smart, funny, beautiful, and she doesn't judge people... but I know that everyone isn't into this kind of thing. I like being around her and I don't want to ruin things. I want her to be comfortable around me.

Maybe... maybe she felt the same way since she agreed to have dinner with us.

"Whatever. But everything was taken care of. Marco and the others were able to get the product to the warehouse. I already made sure they took care of any loose ends" He explained while checking his phone.

"She agreed to having dinner with us tomorrow night" I informed him, watching as he quickly sat up.

"You better not be fucking with me Luca" He spoke out. When he noticed that I wasn't going to say anything he then stood.

"Shit... I need to figure out what dishes I'm going to make!" He rushed out before leaving the room.

Flashback

"Come in" I spoke out after there was a small knock on the door.

This would be the eighth person I interviewed to be my assistant. So far, I didn't find anyone qualified. The first few were too bitchy, while the rest had other ideas. Usually I'd have Cassie handle these sort of things for me.

In came a female with curly hair who looked to be around 5'2. After closing the door behind her, she walked towards me. I was shocked at how confident she looked.

When she was in front of my desk, she extended her hand, "Hello Mr. Bianchi, my name is Nina Brooks and I'm glad to be interviewed by you personally" She introduced with a bright smile on her face.

I felt as my heart raced at the sight... she was beautiful. I then took her hand into my own, greeting her back. Now was not the time to be distracted by her looks.

As I began to ask her questions and let her know about the basics, I could tell how she was actually listening to me. She was very attentive and not afraid to ask questions.

I like her.

"Well Ms. Brooks, you're hired" I soon spoke out after she answered my last question.

She looked at me in shock before standing, "What? Seriously?" She asked. I nodded my head in response. She was very amusing as well.

"Thank you so much!" She exclaimed.

Present

Over the past couple of years, I've been able to learn a bit about both myself and Nina. I would never openly admit it...

But I'm happy that she wants to have dinner with us.
