Nicole I left my phone silent because I was in a meeting, and I forgot to take it away until I got back home. I wasn't surprised to see that I had missed different calls, what got my attention was Giovanni's message. "I know you probably don't want to see me ever again, but please, Nicole. Let's talk in person." "Okay, I get it. You have made yourself clear. You are done with what we had, but can you at least show up at the Lava Palace Hotel tomorrow? I have made a reservation already." "I know you are ignoring me on purpose and I don't care if you intend to keep me waiting, but I don't plan on cancelling the reservation and I'd be waiting for you, no matter how long you take." I was a bit taken aback by the texts. For a moment, I thought maybe his phone was hacked and all these texts
