"To be honest," Mia says, stopping in her tracks for a moment right before we head inside the store. "I'm surprised Patrick wants to see Dominic. How did he even manage to call? I thought he was blocked." "He obviously wasn't." I sigh.

"Hmm...what could he possibly want to talk about that's so urgent?"

"Honestly, I can't think of anything else other than me because they have no business together. I'm actually starting to feel a little bad that on top of meeting Patrick, which wasn't planned for, he also needs to meet my management team to go through some financial data regarding my hair care line."

She raises her eyebrows in confusion. "Wait, won't he be on a date with Carmella?"

"He canceled it."

"What? He really did that?" She yells.

I look around at the people passing by and smack her arm. "Can you keep it down?"

"Sorry, I just wasn't expecting that, but damn! Won't that make her mad?"

"It already did. She even exposed everything."

"Then why do you look so calm?" She crosses her arms.

"Because Dominic told me not to worry. He said everything will be fine."

She dramatically holds onto my shoulders in panic. "And you believed him?"

I smile a little. "I completely believed him. He didn't tell me how he did it, but because he didn't sound like he was panicking and told me not to worry, it calmed me down."

Mia places a hand on her chest. "Now, that's love right there."
