"It has nothing to do with what happened a moment ago, Ivania," he explained as we left the Secretariat's facilities, seemingly believing it necessary to do so. "It's just that we're going to a place outside the city."
I had been convinced that my alone time with Alessandro was coming to an end, but it seemed he wanted to prolong it.
"Where are we going, sir?" I asked, curious and hesitant.
"To one of my family's houses," he replied, giving me a confident look. "There's something very important I want to talk to you about, Ivania."
Immediately, I wondered if whatever he had to tell me couldn't have been said right there, in the car, or in the office, or, damn it, anywhere else!
